Ellen on the Cover of "O" -- The Complete Story!

Ellen has never felt that any goal was too far out of reach. When she began campaigning to get on the cover of "O" Magazine, she vowed to never give up! Her persistence finally paid off, and as you'll see in this complete recap, Oprah herself couldn't be happier!

Hey Ellen, congratulations my darling on getting on the front cover of O magazine with Oprah.

You & I are very alike, when I want something that is important to me, I'm like a dog with a bone and I don't let go until I make it happen. I don't give up easily, just like you. I am so happy for you and I love, love, love you.

Say hello to Tony for me please.

Love & hugzz,

Jacinta.

The neatest thing about that Ellen is...how noticably humbled you were. You, who obviously is one of the nicest, most generous, and loving people in the world, could be a little star struck.Just another reason why so many people look up to you and love who you are. Thanks again for being you. Mickie from Puyallup, WA.

Hi Ellen - I've never purchased O magazine and am looking forward to making it the highest grossing issue BUT I thought maybe some of the proceeds could be donated, maybe to one of your favorite causes???????? I don't think Oprah would mind!
Love ya!

Hey Ellen!! Just wanted to let you know I love your show! Me and my daughters think you are so funny! We especially get a kick out of your dancing and the music that is played!! YOUR AWESOME! Looking forward to seeing you on "O" magazine!!!

Hi Ellen

I heard that you are going to be on the cover of oprah magazine O!, or maybe you have already appeared. I am in Zimbabwe and it takes months before we get the latest magazine and even your show is shown here but it is a year past due. Nevertheless my daughters and I are hugh fans and we watch those reruns every nite. your show is always refreshing and relaxing after a hard days work, and you have more energy than anyone I know. Our favourite shows are the ones where you are at disneyworld. my 3 girls, age 12 and 13, eyes are so big when they see how much fun you and others have at disney, so next time, please invite us. Love you and keep on being strong.

Hiiiiii ELLEN, U did it your going to be on the cover of O mag. Cant wait to see it! I have a big faver to ask of u my sister just hade a baby girl and she loves loves loves u and your show would it be possible to get tikets for ypur show.It would be a very special moment and a stress reliver for her since she is a full time mom and dad to her 2 month old and 16 year old.See her husbend has bien in Salvador since she was 3months pregnent.Their in the midle of him getting his Sitenciaship papers. He only nows his baby by picturse. I almost fergot to give you her name GLORIA RODRIGUEZ

Posted by Arcelia Cervantes | March 24, 2009 12:20 PM

Wow ellen, that was easier than George Watch. What a great issue it would be. I bet it's gonna be the best selling issue. For one thing i don't buy 'O' but i'm gonna buy this upcoming issue because of you. I'm so excited already. Hey i think you should use the TEDS signature line since this quest started on the show. How about "Laugh. Dance. Dream"? This is all about following dreams anyway and there's no better way to follow it than to laugh and dance through your struggles. Just the way you always do.

Hi Ellen;
I just want to say; youa have a " Lucky Star" congratulations for you next cover with Opra, and i hope more cover for you.
(You have a so beautiful and pretty house).

Posted by Patricia | March 24, 2009 10:33 AM

Hi Ellen! I'm so happy that your wish to be on the cover of O is granted. You make a lot of people happy with your show and for granting them their wishes.You totally deserve that cover.
I love you and your show.

Oprellen

You appeared on Johnny Carson, the same year I was born
23 years prior, to the octu-mom’s porn
It was 1986, and what an important year to remember
The Oprah Winfrey Show, premiered that September

The Octo-mom gave birth on January 26th,
The same day of the birth of Ellen Degeneres.
My grandpa Vance was born Jan. 29th and has the same name as your brother
He and Oprah have the same birthday, along with my other Grandmother

Vance passed away in September of 2003
It was very unexpected for only seventy-three
This is the same year and month that your show premiered
But also a time in my life that I had always feared

Nanu has been my bestfriend since BigDaddy died
She has taught me life lessons, like not to eat my chicken fried
She was recently carjacked in Shreveport, at the casino with her posse
So now I constantly remind her not to let them get too bossy

She knows how much I love you and wants to help me out
So she called the 866 number to relieve you of any doubt
So please be sure to check all your voicemails because I know there are a ton
From my people and my fans but hopefully not that one crazy purple nun

I was Oprah’s biggest fan until I watched your show
Now the person I truly am, she will never know
A couple months ago I started a magazine called Oprellen
Since you’ll be on the cover, it going to be sellin’

You are the most inspiring person that I will ever know
And undoubtedly saved my life when I was feeling low
I reach out to your show and all the joy it brings,
the only song I see fit for you is wind beneath my wings

Maybe this will get to you! I seriously think I have tried every possible route but who knows.. I saw there were only 27 comments on this which was surprising so it gave me hope. Please check your e-mails.. you might understand a little bit better what I am talking about. Hope you like your poem! I submitted it a couple weeks ago in the contest explaining why I am your biggest fan! Love ya!
