Good Morning.

the circle of life is still spinning.

I make handmade hula hoops like that if anyone is interested. I also know hoop makers in various areas of the country if you are looking for a hoop, or a hoop dance instructor.

Hey Ellen
I just wanted to say WOW what a way to start stardom for a little girl! After your show I wanted to show my fiance the clip of Sierra "hoop dancing" as she calls it,on you tube but couldn't find anything about her! I looked it up again today on You tube and she's EVERYWHERE! To the parents you have one special little girl keep her going she'll go really far! YOU MUST BE SO PROUD
Take Care everyone

Hi Ellen
I loved watching the little girl try to teach you to hula hoop. It brought back childhood memories. As a little girl, my Dad, made me 2 hula hoops and I would do it all day long. I mastered it within no time, doing one on my waist and one on my knees. I would even skip with it, like skipping rope. Watching this little girl brought a smile to my face, remembering the good ole days!..Thanks

HI ELLEN!

I TAPED THE HOOLA HOOP SHOW AND WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER. I'M 52 YEARS OLD AND DECIDED TO GET A HOOLA HOOP AND MASTER THE ART. I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW AND AM OKAY. I REALIZED FROM WATCHING YOU THAT I MIGHT NEED A BIGGER ONE. FOR LESS THAN $ 5.00 YOU CAN GET A GOOD WORKOUT. NOT BAD. THANKS FOR THE ENDLESS JOY WATCHING YOR SHOW.

Hi Ellen

Great Hoola Hoopers today! Just wanted you to know I have a 6 year old daughter, Destiny who was home from school sick today, watching your show just waiting with my cell phone to call you (hoping for a phone number at the end of your show) she was thrilled to watch the little Hoola Hooper and wanted so to tell you what she did here in our hometown, at the Pierce County Fair last August when she was 5 years old.
I knew she could hoola hoop with one, but to my SURPRISE and to the surprise of many fairgoers SHE took it upon herself to do 4 hoola hoops and a 5th around her neck til it too fell to her waist, a total of 5 Hoola Hoops at once!

Ellen, I would just like to take a moment to thank you and your incredible, amazing staff for having my daughter on your show. It was an experience of a lifetime for her and one she will never forget! Sierra was elated with her Cinderella gifts and send a "bazillion" thank you's!

I was pleased that you finally got the larger hoop and then rocked it like a pro! Keep on hooping and stay tuned for more lessons from the "little hoop diva" herself!

Much love to you and to your staff!

Hi Ellen!

Thank you for having my friend Sierra on your show. I watch you all of the time (except, sadly, today) and was THRILLED when I heard she was coming on to your show.

You both make me want to hoop again! :)

(The idea about incorporating the Hawaii Chair sounds interesting, btw! ;-) )

What an adorable clip. And Kudos to you in that she was totally comfortable with you on screen and in front of an audience. You are really great with kids. Will we ever see some of your own?

end entry

Hey, Ellen ~

You did a great job on the hula hoop! However, I got ta thinkin...maybe there's a way that the Hawaii Chair can help you out there....hmmmm...

Maybe, we need to have a Hawaii Stool that you just rest your bum on and the "stool" would help with the movement to get the hoop goin...ya likes?

Totally dig ya, Babe!

Ellen- I find you so entertaining each and every day! You put a smile on my face when it's needed most. Watching you hula-dance was great! You picked it up pretty quick and that little girl and her "hair thingy" were adorable! I loved every minute! THANKS!!! I'm a huge fan and would love the chance to come to see your show one day!

end entry

ellen that was amazing!
good for you
hula hooping wasnt that hard after you gave it a try

end entry

Hi Ellen - good job with the hula hoop! There's hope for us yet. I think your show is very entertaining. It certainly makes me smile and I think you are a great host.

Here's an idea - why not combine hula hooping with the hawaii chair? Maybe someone can do that stunt ...

Hello Ellen DeGeneres;

I love your show today and the little sweet girl she is cute and she plays with the Hula Hoop like a professional.

end entry

Way to go!! I just turned 50 a week after you, and JUST learned to Hula-Hoop this summer during Biker
Week here at the shore. from a biker! He was selling them in the parking lot where I work. I bought one, and it is indeed an excercise tool for the middle. I put some tunes on, and try to see how long I can go without it falling. I am up to 5 songs so far in a row. Want to have an AARP Hula Jam?? I'm in!!! Peace, Lisa Russo

Caillou what are you talking about????you have put the same post basically in all the comment pages!What are you trying to say???

end entry

Hey Ellen,
I really can't hula hoop and I was really surprised when you did. That little girl made me feel intimidated about not being able to hula hoop. May be you felt that way a little bit more because you were on live television. No pressure. Thanks for being an awesome show host!
