Ellen, the New QVC Queen

Ellen bedazzles herself in Quacker Factory to promote her Halo pet food.

The picture is like the home shopping version of a Where's Waldo or an I Spy book. It's fun to try to spot all the QVC products ... Joan Rivers sunglasses, Technique pots and pans, Virginia Candles reed diffuser ...

Ellen even gives away a new TV and a year's worth of cable just to get this viewer to watch her on the Q:




Maybe Carolyn will at least have a snack before she gets there today so she doesn't resort to eating dog food again.

Carolyn Eats It!

For those of you who missed it, here's a clip of Carolyn eating the dog food. It's at about the 3:08 mark on the very funny Ellen monologue video. Honestly, the whole thing is worth a watch!



Here's my rather impassioned defense of Carolyn Gracie eating dog food.

In Defense of Carolyn Gracie

There has been all kinds of snarky and downright nasty remarks made about Carolyn Gracie eating dog food on air. The point she was trying to make was that Halo is just food like any other food you eat. The recipe was just developed with the nutritional needs of a dog or cat in mind instead of a human. What's the big deal?


Take a look at the ingredients: Chicken broth, chicken, carrots, celery, yellow squash, zucchini, chicken liver, pasta, green peas, green beans, turkey, calcium citrate, barley, oats, dicalcium phosphate, soy sauce, dried kelp, garlic, zinc gluconate, ascorbic acid, copper gluconate

Does that look disgusting to you? Try comparing that to all the prepackaged or fast food that you eat every day. This pet food is of a much higher quality than most of the stuff I eat, that's for sure! As Carolyn wrote in her last blog, "I'm telling you, HALO is so good and so nutritious and full of healthy ingredients for your pets, that it should not even be called "pet” food."

Regardless of what you think of her as a host, anyone who will rescue and care for as many neglected animals as Carolyn has must have a good and decent heart. Here's a video with just a few of her little fur babies:

Shopping Around ... Bullseye!

This blogger ordered the dress in the picture from the Q. Notice anything odd about it???

Take a closer look at one of the boobs ...



Bullseye!!!


Ellen DeGeneres will be on QVC remote from LA in January to present Halo, Purely for Pets, a natural pet food company that she partially owns. I hope she's funny. I hope she comes back. And I really, really hope that the "I love Jesus, but I drink a little" lady calls in to talk! She is a hoot!

Miss Tina likes to design her clothes for the curvier woman. She was inspired by "the forgotten woman," noting that "some of Beyonce's backup singers are plus size women." How sweet of her to think of all us fatties.

"Holy mamacita!" Shawn Killinger writes just like she talks. This entire blog entry is pretty funny. Maybe Shawn Killinger and Rachel Ray speak the same strange language that only they fully understand.

The is some controversy surrounding some Upper Deck baseball cards sold exclusively on the Q.

Former HSN host and owner of her own cosmetic line, Kellie Olver, was recruited to manage the marketing for Eveline products.

Debra Messing will collaborate with designer Robert Lee Morris to create a piece of gold jewelry to benefit Youth AIDS.

Here are two inventions that make me wonder why I'm sitting here writing this and not toiling away in the basement trying to invent something:

Real Estate agent and mom, Joya Machabee, invented the Kiddie Kangaroo, which is a storage system for car seats and strollers. She's getting the chance to sell on HSN.

Vince D'Onofrio found a way to mount those little solar lights everyone puts in their yards onto gutters, thus putting lights all along the top of your house. Not only was he smart enough to come up with these Gutter Lights, but he managed to get them scheduled to be on the Q next fall.

One day I’ll think of something to invent.

"I Love Jesus, but I Drink a Little!"

Speaking of on-air testimonials ... Gladys Hardy needs to be a regular! Talk about entertaining!

One time she called "the QVC" to talk about a lady bug brooch. Don't worry though, she only "drinks a little to thin the blood." I swear, I love this woman more than Paula Deen loves butter!!!
