Day 2 Highlights and Prizes

Highlights

Day 2 of Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways was once again far from disappointing. Ellen opened up the show with a shoutout to her wife Portia in honor of their 7 year wedding anniversary…technically 3 year but Ellen found it proper to count the years they’ve spent together overall. Most were a buzz in anticipation for Hot Mess to come dancing out with the 12 Days presents and Ellen picked up on that. She gave a little mischeivous grin and asked if they were excited about something that rhymes with “Smelve Bays.”

Russell Brand came sprinting out rather early in the show and was firing on all cylinders right out of the gate. Some may not appreciate his spaced-out and high octane humor ‒ speaking for myself ‒ I was in stitches! He was quick to dispell the baseless rumor that he and Katy Perry were no longer sweethearts. Without so much as the slightest delay, he spouted five rumors regarding Ellen, one of which included her ability for time travel.  Hint: Its not true.

The next celeb to pull up a seat next to Ellen was the talented singer-songwriter Sting. Now pushing over 60, the timeless musician simply appears immune to aging. Alright, alright maybe thats exaggerating but he’s in pretty amazing shape. He shared with Ellen how indiscrete he was about how old he was turning at his birthday party and how he invited fellow musicians to put their spins on his classic songs.  After the commercial break he captivated the Ellen audience with a performance of the Arabesque tune [easyazon-link asin=”B000W21FZU”]Desert Rose[/easyazon-link].

This show’s 12 Day fakeout was a bit more on the obvious side this time. Ellen called out an acapella group decked out in Christmas red sweaters that appeared to be rather flustered and unrehearsed. The member toward the far right kept trying to indicate the right key in which to sing by blowing a whistle but to no avail. Finally after several useless attempts to get the group to synchronize, the jolly Hot Mess mascot and the rest of Ellen’s elves came skipping on the scene to the sound of the audience’s screams. I tell ya, that tangled mess of Christmas lights is really starting to charm me.
