I'm typing this letter with one hand because I'm icing my arm. "Why?” you ask. And to that I say, "Thank you for asking. And I'll tell you why... because you asked so nicely.” I'm icing my arm because we really kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a bang... or a dunk. I've been throwing pink softballs at people all week. Hear me out.
We had an entire audience filled with breast cancer survivors. We gave them a great surprise and then we unveiled our dunk tank. We're raising ten thousand dollars every time I dunk someone. So far, I've dunked two audience members, Jenny McCarthy, and Shemar Moore. And I get to do it all month long!
I also have a small headache. Steve Spangler came by with some science projects. He showed me an electric pickle, some disappearing ink, and he put me in a cloud.
And, my neck's a little sore from an owl landing on my head. My friend Jack Hanna brought over some animals. Amazing! And his toucan tried to eat my eyeballs. It's dangerous being a talk show host.
The good news is: I wasn't hurt when I got a surprise visit from Leonardo DiCaprio. That didn't hurt at all... am I right, ladies? He came by to premiere his "Vote PSA,” which I got to be a part of... Have you registered to vote yet? Go on now. Do it.
We've got another big, big week coming up. Huge, really. Kanye West is gonna be here! He'll show us the world premiere of his new video, plus, he's gonna tell us all about his crazy year of ups and downs, from winning Grammy Awards... to losing his mother.
Also next week -- Sheryl Crow, Christina Applegate, Paris Hilton, Mark Wahlberg and of course, I'll be dunking people all month long! Oh, I better find something else to ice my arm... these frozen peas are melting.
See ya next week... Ellen
