Hi Ellen! Happy 50th!!! My niece is due with her first child, which will be a girl, right on your birthday! I am hoping and praying that she has this child on that day! Wouldn't that be awesome? Maybe I could get her to name it Ellen, too! LOL.....but anyway, have a wonderful 50th!!!! Love you and your show!

Happy Birthday Ellen. I had Colon Cancer at 60 and was only given 5 years, I am 66 now and in remission. Every year I feel younger. You know what they say " you are as young as you feel" and I always feel like a baby and want to go home and take a nap. Call me and I will sing you a song.

Happy 50th B'day Ellen! Mine is coming up in less than 4 months too & I'm so excited, looking forward to it everyday as if it's the beginning of my whole life. I enjoy your shows as I've watched it from the very 1st day when it was launched because I was home recuperating from a surgery then. I'm home again now recuperating from another surgery with a 2nd one scheduled for next month. Inspite of all these, I have no anxieties facing the next 50 years. I wish you the best 50 years yet to come & I hope I'll get an opportunity to be on your show one day!
Congratulations & keep on doing whatever you're doing to look young-I truly admire U!!!

Happy Birthday Ellen.
Hope the next 50 are even better than the first 50. Keep up all the good you do. You make so many people smile and laugh and that is just what the world needs, more laughter and less sadness.
Best Wishes and eat an extra piece of cake for me ( I Love Cake ) LOL.
Love, Pam

Hi Ellen!

Greetings from the Philippines! I don't get to watch your show often as it's shown here in the evenings and I work the graveyard shift. I do watch the reruns in the mornings though and I simply love you! You never fail to make me laugh and everything you do inspires me to just be myself.

I wish you the grandest birthday ever and a life full of happiness and bliss, because Lord knows you sure deserve all the best and a lot more.

Smile always.

Love,

Gem S.

Dear Ellen & Show
My husband & I being loyal fans, tape your show every Mon to Friday, decided we'd come to see you before my 30th birthday on Jan 6th, 2008... AND WE'D LOVE TO SING YOU HAPPY 50 BIRTHDAY CANADIAN STYLE, before you turned the big FIVE~O and even brought you a cool gift! So we left for your 12 days of Christmas, giveaways on Dec 16 to the 22nd, 2007 & to our dissmay, we were turned away from CANADA. Your show is crazy fun & so busy we seen those people linned up at 430 am, on your show that brought coffee, & we kick ourselves we should of stayed but people said we'd stand no chance, especially w/o tickets! We had bad luck there on this trip & our tickets to prove our horrible luck, & trip that cost us, maybe we'll frame them. Then my cell phone is busted at LAX, in our new luggage is ripped, my camera is soaked at the hotel pool, and we still never got the chance to see you, as it's on my dream/ goal list... and I've meet alot of them! I even wrote to you before we left to LA, telling you how I lost my job, that should of been my sign to stop hoping we'd see you outside, or in your audience, but I came close to finding where you live, but then we'd be your stalker, don't want that before the holidays... LOL! Love your crazy Canadian fans, & Happy Soon to be the most wicked 50 ever, you could be the new fifty supermodel & do whatever your heart desires, ELLEN, YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND!!!

Hi Ellen!!.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you from Austrailia, i dont get to watch you show here, cos i have to work, but when i was in the States for 3 months visiting my Girlfriend, i watched you everyday, and i had the best laughs, i even cried when you gave away all those gifts to ppl. cos they all looked so excited. You guys have a wonderful country, and IF it wasnt so hard to live in the States, i would be there with my partner in a flash, so IF you know of a way i can do this, with same-sex relationship, please let me know..Thanks for just being YOU Ellen.
Happy Birthday with lots of hugs love and good wishes
