Bruno Mars appeared on Ellen to perform "When I Was Your Man" which will be the first and only time he performs the song on TV.

It is a great performance of the song and kind of cool he will not be performing it everywhere. It seems when artists do the talk show run, they only perform their latest song and nothing else.

All you need to do is put Bruno in front of a piano and nothing else.

The song is number one for a reason.-DocFB

Diagnosis: One of the MUST see tours of the year!

Bruno Mars took to Ellen to announce his "Moonshine Jungle World Tour" kicks off this summer in North America and then heads to Europe in the fall.

He surprised Emily who was wanting Bruno to go with to her Junior Prom. Bruno made a one for the ages entrance to surprise Emily.

Bruno brought her flowers and showed genuine LOVE for Emily.

I saw Bruno Mars on his last tour and it was amazing. I highly recommend going!

Bruno cannot make it to her junior prom due to the tour but gave her 4 all access passes for when he is in her town. Also, he brought the prom to the Ellen stage and took her to the prom on the show.

Emily and Bruno got promo ready and it is classic! Bruno sang "Always & Forever" to Emily and dipped her.

What a guy!-DocFB

Chris Tucker was on Ellen where he discussed his new movie "Silver Linings Playbook" and also took time to talk about his friend Michael Jackson. He shared experiences about going with him to the movies and MJ having to put on disguises to go.

He even shared a time where they were already out and he wanted to go to the mall and he just put on a Spider-Man mask and attempted to be unrecognized. This is a person who truly knew him. He needed more people like Tucker around him for sure.

Here is some behind the scenes footage of Michael and Chris filming the video to "You Rock My World".....-DocFB
