Ellen’s on the cover of O!

Just finished reading the December issue of O magazine! This is only the second time ever that Oprah has had another person on the cover with her (the other time being Michelle Obama… LOVE her.) And, there isn’t just one cover- there’s 3! Ellen has been talking and talking about the O magazine on her show and so I just had to show my support and buy one. I did enjoyed reading it, might even buy it more often. I got a lot of great gift ideas and there were even some cute dresses they recommended for the holidays. Looking through the magazine just TOTALLY put in me in the Christmas spirit! ALSO I am going to participate in the 12-Day Holiday Give-O-Way. If I’m lucky, I could win all 46 gift items in the magazine. Wowzers. And if I’m really lucky I could win tickets to the Oprah Winfrey Show in Chicago and the Ellen DeGeneres Show in LA., with round trip airline tickets and a two-night hotel stay. DREAM!!!! I am absolutely doing this contest. Cross your fingers for me everyone!!

LOVE: dakota fanning

So as some of you know, I am a ginormous Ellen fan. I try and watch the show EVERYday. Well yesterday Dakota Fanning was a guest and, oh man, she is all grown up now! She’s 15 and it seems like she’s turning into quite a lady. I’ve always really liked Dakota Fanning, I mean how can you not? She’s a great actress, super cute, and really down to earth (unlike some of those other child actresses out there. Lindsay Lohan? Gross.). In I Am Sam I just fell in love with her and I’ve been following her ever since. Her latest film is the new twilight series movie New Moon, which I am SO EXCITED to see! She plays Jane, one of the villains, and it will be interesting to watch her as one of the “bad guys”, a different kind of role than she usually plays. I found an old youtube video of her on Ellen from a few years back. She is so hysterical and adorable, you can’t help but love her!! She is an amazing actress and I can’t wait to see what kind of film she’ll do next and what roles she will play in the future.

Here’s a clip from when she was 9… it’s super funny!

ELLEN.

Don’t you love Ellen? I do. I just recently discovered the Ellen Degeneres show because as a full-time student and a part-time nanny I don’t work most days until after 11:30. SO, while I should be doing homework and reading, I instead watch Ellen. Before I became a devoted Ellen fan, I used to watch Regis and Kelly. This is only because I am a HUGE Today Show fan, on NBC- channel 7 (LOVE the whole gang), and Reg and Kelly are also on channel 7. I can’t even believe I was wasting my time with that mumbo jumbo when Ellen was on channel 5! I feel so lucky to have hit the wrong channel one morning. Changed my life! The Ellen Show is an excellent way to start your morning. She makes me laugh like no one else and I just love her dancing. CLASSIC. Pair Ellen with a cup of coffee and some greek yogurt and raspberries and you’re gonna have a GREAT day. Guaranteed.

Here’s a clip from a couple of days ago. Love this one:

Pam and Jim get hitched!!

YAY for The Office wedding!! I was just doing a little catch-up on missed TV and watched the hour long Office episode where Jim and Pam finally tie the knot. EXCELLENT!!! Everybody loves these two and I do too. Of course they were supposed to be together from episode one. I still remember the days of flirting by the receptionist desk. Pam oblivious (in mind, not heart of course) and Jim just soaking up every second he could. And finally, it happened! They are as cute as ever together in this episode. Just love. And I cannnot even describe how hard I was laughing at both Andy’s pre-wedding dance party and the Dunder-Mifflin dance-off down the aisle. I was choking I was laughing so hard. Erin?! Oscar?! STANLEY?!!!! HILARIOUS!!! This is for sure an episode I will watch again and again. One for the books. Priceless.
