Listen to Ellen describe her first show for "No Way November...Whutt?!" featuring Victoria Beckham and Steve Spangler the Science Guy!

Today my chef, Sean, has whipped up some faux cream (non dairy) of tomato soup. I don’t know where fake cream comes from. I don’t want to know. But I’d like to say something about lactose intolerance. Can’t we all get along? If we try to understand lactose, maybe one day we can tolerate each other and it will be a better world for all of us.

For the main course, I have some crab cakes and sprouts resting comfortably on a bed of baby lettuces with raspberries for garnish. By the way, you haven’t really slept until you’ve spent the night on a bed of baby lettuces. This is the perfect lunch for me to be light on my toes when I go trick or treating later.

Happy Halloween and have a good lunch,

Ellen

MY SPIDERS ARE BACK

Just in time for Halloween, my spiders are back, and this time with a vengeance. I was attacked two nights ago. This time I got a good look at the assailant. He was covering his mouth and giggling. I don’t know how these spiders get in the house in the first place. I have screens on the doors and windows and a big sign that says, “Thanks Spiders, But No Thanks.”

Anyway, last night I moved my bed away from the wall. What I didn’t count on was a spider getting at me by repelling down the ceiling like Pierce Brosnan in “The Thomas Crown Affair.” Now I’m worried that they might try to steal my jewels which are tucked under my mattress. Whoops. Now I’ve told ya’ll where I keep my diamonds and precious stones. I’d better go re-hide them. No peeking.

J Lo Hew looks on nervously as Jennifer Lopez (Ellen) feeds her bat lunch.

Excuse me Jennifer Lopez, have you Seen Ellen? The show's about to start and we can't find her anywhere. By the way, your new album is great. When's the baby due? Oh ...you're not pregnant. Sorry, my mistake. Well, if you see Ellen please let her know that it's ...30 Seconds To Air

Ellen is dressed as J Lo This Halloween and she insists that she's not pregnant.

Executive producer Andy Lassner hid in this hollowed out pumpkin for over 35 minutes so that he could surprise Ellen during her show. He is still pulling pumpkin seeds out of his ears.

Usually my lunch is stylishly presented in neat food groups, but today I asked my chef Sean to toss me a salad and then toss it right onto the plate. The salad is made with salad, avocados, (Probably from Tom Selleck’s avocado ranch. I’m not sure, I didn’t check the brands.) tomatoes and small green crunchy things. I have dressed my salad with salad dressing. (I prefer to have my salads clothed)

My main course is a cheese veggieburger casually thrown next to the salad. (I’m not sure if it was cooked with the Sunbeam Rocket grill but it sure looks tasty.) On the side I have yellow and red dipping sauces or as some people call them, Catsup and mustard.

Enjoy your lunch

Ellen

Just as our photographer was about to take a picture of the back stage wall, who suddenly pops into view? "Surprise!" It's Ellen lightening up the backstage mood with some pre-show hijinks. Yes, the best time to have a little fun is when there's only ...30 Seconds To Air.

As you can see, The folks in Ellen's control room are not waiting for October 31st to get into the Halloween spirit. They know that it's just one day to what many believe will be the best Ellen Halloween show ever!

Barack Obama shows off his Presidential worthy dance moves to Ellen.

Ellen goes trick or treating early before all the good candy gets taken and terrorizes an unsuspecting neighborhood in the process.

Ellen talks about her guests for Tuesday's show.

For lunch today I am having some chicken piccata with a mushroom shallot sauce and a lot of white wine. (Piccata is an Italian word meaning “tipsy chicken.”) The chicken is served with wild rice pilaf (When I say “wild” I’m not kidding. It almost bit off my chef’s finger. It’s a good thing he had a rice wrangler with him.) and a long skinny vegetable stir fry of asparagus, green and yellow waxed beans and candied pecans. Compliments to my vegetable waxer, Sean. These beans are perfectly smooth.

Enjoy your lunch

Ellen

Senator Barack Obama talks to Ellen about being a distant relative of Vice President Dick Cheney’s.

Ever since her early days in stand-up, Ellen has always prepared for her performances by singing a pre-show operatic aria. Here we see her singing something from Madame Butterfly. Ellen insists that it clears the throat and her head which is absolutely essential when there's ...30 Seconds To Air.

Halloween is almost here and as you can see, my staff are already getting into it. And if you think they are colorful now, just wait till they dress up in their costumes.

Teen sensations, The Jonas Brothers sing their hit song S.O.S. for a crowd of adoring tweens and Ellen between stops on their sold out Hannah Montana tour.
