Ellen's Message from Oprah!

Ellen's campaign to get on the cover of "O" magazine hit a slight snag when she was put on hold at Harpo publications... for 11 minutes! However, when Oprah heard of the misstep, she sent Ellen an apology -- along with 500 cupcakes for the entire audience!

next: New "Spot the Differences" Photo!

Good things keep happening to Ellen. Is it just me or is Oprah getting huge again? I heard on Face book that Ellen did not want to help the homeless. I hope this is not true. We are the people that have put Ellen and Oprah on the top. Love to hear more about Rev. Trey Noran with Real Men Love 2 Cuddle. They are right here in Denver and raising money to build a homeless Hotel. Reverend, forget Ellen ask the Major of Denver to spread the word. Sometimes star power is not worth it. Ellen is set for life and we know Oprah made more bucks on us than she knows what to do with. What a society we live in?

Hey Ellen!
I just want to say that your show is amazing! I hope you get on the cover of O magazine! I just would like to ask you if you could bring Robert Pattinson on your show again.
P.S. Tony is an awesome DJ!

Hello there Ellen,just letting you know I watch your show and thinks your a breath of fresh air, thank you Ellen.

hey ellen!
being on the cover of "O" would be awesome, but why don't you just start your own awesome magazine? i would def subscribe to that!

Hi Ellen! I know you can be on the cover of O Magazine! I think this is a great idea. I will send my letter to Harpo! My Brother and I came to your show today. We both think that you should sponsor a different charity each month. It could be up to each audience member as to what they can or want to give. Think about all of the money you could raise for a different cause each month--that is the least everyone can do for a ticket to your show! Thanks for being so fun! We had a blast!

This message is actually for Veronica Vasquez... I was just reading the comments and wanted to let you know that the cupcakes are from William-Sonoma, you can order them on-line. It is funny, because I have had a craving for a "good cupcake" for about a year now and the other day (ironically before Oprah sent them) I remembered that Oprah raves about these cupcakes, so I thought (Feb. was a difficult month for me) I am going to order the cupcakes and see how good these are, no matter the cost - well, about $80- later for 9 cupcakes... today they finally came!!! I thought and felt I deserve to treat myself as a celebrity would and splurge - so as I said they came today and they were sent/packaged with dry ice, they have to be left out for 1 to 2 hours before eating (best at room temp) so I have yet to try them, but just so that you know they are exactly what Oprah sent to Ellen - imagine what 500 cost!!! Order some, you deserve it too :)
btw: you order from W.Sonoma, but a bakery in Napa Valley actually makes them by scratch - Perfect Endings is what the bakery is called. Wasn't sure that you got the info so I thought I would try to get it to you.
and Ellen - I watch/tivo every day - you are so loved and appreciated! :)
with happiness, Carolyn K.

Hey Ellen,your show is hilarious.Getting on the cover of "O" is a good idea.But I think you should publish your own magazine too along with your own clothing,etc line.You always look so comfortable and neat.Just think about it alright.Love to watch your show and see you dance.I go out dancing alot myself.

i am American but I live in Istanbul. Just wondered if you have ever watched your show dubbed over in Turkish? its pretty funny!

Posted by katy middlebrooks | March 11, 2009 3:09 AM

In alot of ways I think Ted should be spoken to,after all,he let Ellen hang on the phone for 11 min.so if he did that to Ellen whos trying to get on the cover of O yep thats right on the cover of O.Then he might let many people hang on for awhile,and that is really not very good customer service at all.11 min. is a bit long no matter who you are. I vote for Ellen on the cover of O

Posted by missieluv | March 11, 2009 1:49 AM

It's pretty late, but can't sleep because I'm worried about 'Ted'. The tone of Oprah's note to you concerned me. Is Ted's job in jeopardy? Did he have to buy the 500 cupcakes? Did he receive a stern scolding? Will this go on his permanent record? Has your dream become his nightmare? Just wondering.

Hi, Ellen. This has nothing to do with "O"...just a ditty I came up with that I've wanted to post for a long time:


There was once a man from Venus
Who was born with a very large colon,
So he asked his friend Enus
To remove it for 'um.
This proved too much trouble,
And the pain became double.
Then Enus said, "Watch Ellen, she'll make you better!"
Heeding his words, the man watched encores.
His friend came home later to find the bed much wetter.
"I was watching her while drinking a big box of juice,
And laughed so hard my colon spluiced!
These sheets are no longer of use."
Enus fell to the floor in fits,
Shaking so hard,
HIS bladder was in danger of going in bits.
To which his friend replied, "I called the medics.
They came right when Ellen was showing Tony's Facebook,
And they fell too, which I asked if that was their ethic."
"But is your COLON better?" Enus asked. The man replied,
"If you call blind-folded musical chairs and facebook photos
The best medicine, then I've been LONG-cured!" Enus sighed.
"Heaven-forbid the day you have a blockage."

I, uh, guess the point here is to not have a large............juicebox??
