Practice Makes Perfect RT @TheEllenShow
Those spectacular dance moves that we see Ellen do on her show every day don't come easy. It takes hours of painstaking practice like you see here in today's rehearsal. As you can see by the intense concentration on her face, Ellen takes her dancing as seriously as she takes her comedy.
Next Story: The Host That Keeps On Giving
As a faithful fan and admirer of you and your show
I have been trying to sign up to win some of the prices that you give away on the show. After submitting and verifying the correct e-mail adress, I am supposed to receive an e-mail thereafter with which I am to confirm again. The proplem is that after countless attempts, I have never yet received such an e-mail. What seems to be the problem with that, as I would like the
chance to win also.
Keep up the best show on TV, love you
Helga

Hi Ellen,
This is about some houses for New Orleans. I don't know if they are suitable but here's the
story. I live in VA near Quantico Marine Base.
At the end of WWII metal houses(Lustron Homes)
were built for the veterans returning from the war. They stood empty until last year when they
were given away to whomever would take them apart
and take them away.A man named Earl Simmons of
Great Bend, Kan. Paid for to have that done. He
would like to sell them for $77,000 ea. I was hoping you could get people together, if the houses are suitable, to build them in LA. If I
could get on "DEAL OR NO DEAL" I would give you
a donation. Wouldn't it be great to have those
historic little homes for somes of those who have
so much less.
I know this letter is long. I have tried to contact some different people about this and even
tried emailing you three times before.
I wanted to tell you that I just started watching your show and really enjoy it.
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY I know it's past now but
you can still celebrate the rest of the month.
I hope to hear from you.
Sincerely, Mary Meale
Happy Birthday Ellen. Love your show. I record it on my DVR so I can watch it a second time. Here is my question for you. Would you please consider doing a show from Laughlin Nevada? If you do the wildest most fun time is the last week of April when they have the Harley Roundup. I live across the river from Laughlin.
Kuddos to you for being so cool!

Hi Ellen - Happy Birthday ! and how cool to share your birthday with Australia.. and my ex boyfriend. I guess that's special.
Am I your first emailer from Bali? I reckon I might be.., but, I'm not a real Balinese, I'm an Aussie, and I've lived here in Paradise for nearly 10 years. Bali? every heard of it? ever been? we get a few of your 'celeb' friends here from time to time, although not as much as we used to - Mel Gibson was here a short while ago.. got any plans for a visit? cool if you did - I promise to help if you do...
I love your show - but we dont get it live - we're still on your pre-christmas shows - so we've got some ctaching up to do... plus, your on in the daytime, and I should be at work - so I dont get to see you too much - but hey. I know you're there whenever I need ya.
Serious about that trip to Bali - or, better still send Striker!! he's hot. my new boyfriend would think so too. ( I just watched the show where you knocked on some womans door - and are about to send striker to go and stay with them... bummer striker !) - he'll like Bali better.
We do a load of charity stuff here in Bali - we've just helped a young guy who was burnt in motor cycles accident, have plastic surgery to both legs to enable him to walk again, we've built basketball courts for orhanages, homes for the poor, and we sponsor a great kid call Nyoman - who has cerebal palsy. I'll let you know when we need help - you may be able to help raise awareness and some dough..
anyhow - hope you have a great day (having) - keep up the great work... and, hey, give us a call sometime in Bali ....(you can email me for the number)

Happy Birthday Ellen,
My husband Dave has the same birthday as you and when he found out he was like WHHAATT!
Then when he found out you were going to be 50 he was like WHHAATT again.
Really your show is one that we both enjoy watching together. It makes us laugh after a long day at work. One day we hope to make it there for a live show. Maybe for next years birthday...it could be one big party!
Thanks for making us laugh have a great birthday,
Dave & Angela
Hope your day is wonderful! Your show is a daily treat for my 15 month old daughter, Addison and I. She begins to dance at the first few beats of your theme song. You have a genuinely sweet spirit and touch so many lives. Thanks for all the love and laughter and I plan to make it to a live show someday soon.
Ellen,"Age is just a state of mind",I heard my father say,"live your life with kindness,learn acceptance,love each day...Laughter keeps you healthy,friends will see you thru,generosity gives both ways and hugs will keep you true."
This seems to fit you on this , your 50th birthday- Thanks for setting such a great example. Hugs,Sara

Hi Ellen, I love your show. You are the funniest person in the whole wide world! You are such an inspiration to so many . Thank you for all you do to help the people in your native New Orleans. I am not from there, but I know those great people are thankful. They have been through so much. I missed your birthday show Fri., but I wish you a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I am going to have a total knee replacement in a couple of weeks, but I won,t miss any more shows, cause I am DVRing them! I,m sure they will brighten my days of recovery. Thank you again for all you do. Linda Hoff
