 A Message from Ellen (January 21 - 25 / 2008) |  I want to start a movement. I can't remember if I've ever started a movement before. If I have, I hope it's still moving. This new movement is a good one though. I want to get everybody to play more games! Playing games sharpens the mind and our reflexes. If we played more games the world would be a better place. Think of all the conflict that could be worked out if we were all playing Pictionary instead of fighting. In school, we had recess every day. It was great to get out for a little while to run around and play. People at work should have recess. From now on, every day at 3 O'clock, everybody should go out into the parking lot to play kick ball. Set your watches!
This week of games was a blast! We really lucked out with some fantastic Contestants, and it's always great when my guests help out. I was really glad to finally meet Marilu Henner. The games were fun and the competition was close all week. Congratulations to Lindsey Norman for winning the $10,000 cruise. This was also an exceptional week for music. I loved The Plain White T's and it was great meeting Joshua Radin and Taylor Swift. They all have such talent, I really get the feeling that they are going to be big, big stars for a long time to come. Just like my super pre-birthday surprise guest, Jill Scott. This is really shaping up to be a fantastic fiftieth.

| A Message from Ellen (January 14 - 18 / 2008) | I hope you enjoyed my favorite kids week as much as I did. I love kids. I'm thinking about opening up a daycare in the riff raff room. It's too bad that we have to grow up, but I guess at some point, the parents really need the break. I read that the only animals that stay with their parents longer than humans are whales. It's probably easier having a whale baby. You never have to get them to clean their room, you never have to make them wash behind their ears. ...I don't think whales even have ears. ...I wonder how they keep their glasses on?
Marc Yu is great on the piano, but I like his jokes even more. Of course, Emily Bear was wonderful as usual. I wish she could be on every day. Maybe I should have an all kid house band. Tristan and Nic Puehse are amazing skateboarders. I bet their mom is a nervous wreck. Someday, when he's headlining in Vegas, you'll go to see the grown up Anthony Gargiula and say to yourselves, "I first saw this guy on Ellen." I can't wait to hear his backstage reports from American Idol. Speaking of Idols, I was totally surprised by Mary J. Blige's birthday present. What a gift to have someone so talented sing for me. It was great to see all the improvements that ZOOTOO made to Janice Wolf's animal refuge. What a fantastic human being.

| A Message from Ellen (January 07 - 11 / 2008) | Happy New Year!
2008 is so fresh and clean and, wait a minute, (sniff) it still has that New Year smell. I hope you had happy holidays. That's what holidays were invented for -- happiness. I'm not sure what the first holiday was, but I bet even then, people had fun decorating the cave and putting lights and ornaments on the Christmas rock as they grunted out their favorite carols. I bet that the first New Year probably wasn't that much of a big deal since everybody was still getting used to the whole "time" thing, but I'm sure that by the time the second year rolled around, everybody was ready to celebrate in Times Square.

| A Message from Ellen (December 17 - December 21 / 2007) | Wouldn't it be great if the holidays and the holiday spirit lasted year round? But then, I guess it wouldn't be as special as it is when it's just once a year. Plus, we'd all go broke having to buy presents over and over again. We'd have to permanently plant a tree in our living rooms. It's probably a good thing that we only have egg nog once a year. Once a year, it's kind of a treat. Egg nog on a hot summer day? Maybe not.
