Happy Birthday Ellen, from four generations of January baby girls! My Grandma will turn 95 on the 25th, my Mom will be 63 on the 19th, I was 34 on the 1st, my oldest daughter was 7 on the 7th and my youngest daughter will be 1 on the 16th!! And that's not all the family in January if you can believe it! Also in Jan is my Great Aunt, my brother, my nephew, my mother-in-law, my husband's uncle and a whole bunch of cousins and friends including three more on New Year's Day with me. From all my January crew to you, Happy Birthday!!

Wasn't 1958 a fabulous year?!! All of the beautiful baby girls born that year are turning 50 in 2008. Mine is in May. My husband turned 50 in November. Later this month he and I are taking an 11 day cruise to celebrate.
I enjoy your show, when I make it home in time. Today I am just browsing your web site as I eat my no-fat cottage cheese. Your salad looked so much better!
Did you get your AARP application?
Take Care

Hello Ellen wishing you an amazing 50th year. May all of your birthday wishes come true. One of my wishes being that I am a Janaury baby is to be a part of your audience. I look forward to that one day. Kind regards and buone compleano

Feliz Cumpleonos! Happy Birthday in spanish. I hope you have a wonderful day. I will be turning
44 on the 15 of January as well as my good friends from high School. Monica on the 16 and Bernadette the 29. We are all in January but two of us are Capicorns and one Aquarius like you and she is funny too. It must be the sign. Well have a wonderful day and I would love to be invited to your show along with my girlfriends. So if you can make it possible "Yeah"! Happy 50th Ellen" How long are you going to continue with your show because I need to make it to a live showing before you retire. I am almost 50 and want to retire now so I know it is on your mind too. I want to see you before that happens and time is running out I feel. Take Care! 10-S-N-E-1 We all play tennis too! Roberta

Hey Ellen,
First and foremost - congrats on beating out Oprah on the People's choice awards. I mean, if you really think about it, that is the "most" important award you could get as a talk show host. Everybody just adores you!!!
Next - I cannot even believe that you will be 50.... you look absolutely fabulous might I say.
Happy Happy Birthday to you bouncing baby birthday girl........
You have the single most entertaining show on television - good luck on all your endeavors.

Well, I can't believe you're turning 50! You're aging so beautifully! I rolled past that milestone a little over 5 years ago and believe me, it's still very hard to say that "F" word! Turning 30 was great, 40 wasn't so bad...but 50 was a whole different story. I feel a lot younger, though, and still like to go out with my friends to clubs and the like; but I'm almost always the oldest one there. That's ok, though. I can keep up with the best of them on the dance floor. So thankfully for you, Ellen, that thing you love to do (dancing)- you just get better. Hope your 50 is filled with love, good friends, and continued success. If you ever get to the East coast (Wilmington, NC), give me a "HOLLA"!

Ellen! You dont even look like your past 30 so keep it up girl! Your show is fantastic and Jacob (my 3 year old) and I want to thank you for all your hard work and things you to do make peoples dreams come true..we hope your birthday wishes come true!!

Hi Ellen,
I want to wish you a wonderful birthday!!!! Turning fifty is not that bad!! I am now 53, and I have never been happier or better in my life. I think you possess such a quality and youthfullness that you will never feel your age!! that is a remarkable quality to have!!!!!
I wrote you a poem to celebrate your day...
hope you enjoy...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN, my mom and I just want to wish you a very happy fun day on your birthday my brothers birthday is the same day Jan 26th he is turning 45 im 2yrs older than him. 50 is a big one and you dont look older than 30. Have fun and I wish I was there to see you on your show.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY Love Michele Kline&my mom Eleanor Timmerman.


Dear sweet Ellen,
I want to wish you the most wonderful 50th birthday ever. It is a magical time in your life. January 26 was my sister Margie's birthday who has passed on in life but was a wonderful person like you who loved animals and people. I'm sending you a website that will blow your socks away with wonderful pictures of animals and kids. It is fotos2007.pps. I hope you can get it as it is certainly amazing. Keep doing the great shows with animals and special talented kids, they are my favorites. I also love the dancing, you are amazing with your unusual dance moves. I'm a 73 year old widow who lived for dancing all my life. You have the best humor of anyone I have ever seen and you are so humble. Maybe sometime you could have a Senior citizens day on your show. By the way, I think your Mother is the cutest sweetest lady and also funny like you.
Happy 50th birthday!!!

Happy 50th Birthday Ellen!
I hope you have a great 50th. I will turn 50 in May so I can't give you any tips what to expect although I do believe today's generation at 50 is more like turning 30 was years ago. I watch your show every afternoon when I get home from work. I always find your show entertaining..it's nice to be able to smile and laugh for an hour. I especially enjoyed the show with the "wedding dancers" and the show with Jenna Bush. You are such a natural interviewer and make people feel at ease.
Keep doin what you're doin - you look fantastic!! Great job dancing over the table :)
Enjoy your special day.

HAPPY 50th Ellen,
You are a wonderful inspiration for up-coming 50 year old gals like me, i know get up every morning and do a little jig, just to keep the youth flowing, you helped me realize that turning 50, you keep dancing, but with a little more spring in our step,
Stay young, stay fit, stay fun, stay you.
Happy Birthday, gal friend
Hope it's everything and More
Sincerly,

Dear Ellen,

Happy 50th Birthday Ellen I am very proud of you and I love your show a lot from Australia I am very proud that you're celebrating your 50th Birthday on your show but it is a classic but I am from Melbourne, Australia and we don't get it on Free to Air TV it is on Foxtel Arena Channel we don't get it here it is only on WIN in the country. I love your show so much it makes me interesting, cool and happy not only that I find your monologue funny I love the first part so much. I think your monologue is a classic that I heard about is a Hawk sits on the telephone booth I have heard one that is a classic and I do follow Australian Rules Football and I am a Hawthorn supporter you said about my team emblem that I followed in Australian Rules Football. I hope you will have your show in Melbourne, Australia so I can come and watch you on the show in Australia so are you coming to Australia???? I e-mailed you at Warner Brothers and on your MySpace so your show rocks Happy 50th Birthday Ellen and GO HAWKS!!!!! West Coast are troublemakers.

Best Regards
