Ellen DeGeneres is getting ready for that close-up.

On Tuesday's Ellen DeGeneres Show, she confirms that she is the new face of CoverGirl.

"You know how I always like to share what's going on in my life with you all, and I was going to give you some news, and unfortunately rumors started circulating all over the Internet," she tells the audience.

"I am here to set the record straight right now. I am not pregnant. It just turned out to be a bump. I went and had it checked out," she cracks. "That's not the news. I am the new face of CoverGirl."

She then jokingly poses as a model. "That's the first thing they teach you when you're a CoverGirl," she quips.

Although her campaign is not set to launch until January, "somehow people found out about it," she says.

She then gives her audience a glimpse at what goes on behind the scenes at a CoverGirl shoot.
