Ellen Tapes her show in NYC on Saturday

Ellen's in NYC taping shows for Thanksgiving Week. I got there by 1PM hoping to catch the guests go through the Stage Door, which is on 53rd Street. I knew this would be a different show as I glimpsed servers with trays of food and drink doling them out to the Ellen's audience waiting in line to enter the studio. I've been to Dave's show a couple times, all I got was hmm nothing. This girls sign says: Flight: $450, Hotel: $660, 4 Sister-In-Laws seeing Ellen Priceless.

I went around the corner to stand by the stage door and was shocked to see Ellen cordoned off the area within 100 yards of the stage door to make room for her trailers and dressing room. BUMMER, but then I realized what a lucky spot I was in because the servers passed by my way and not only were they cute as can be... (all model/actors waiting for their big break) but they took pity on us and fed us! Here are a bunch of "Dealers" (guys who collect graphs to sell on Ebay or to autograph agencies) and fans getting fed.

As we busied ourselves eating, we missed Emmett Smith exit his limo and run in the stage door. So everyone walked to the opposite end of the street which had a clear view of the stage door. I did catch Emmitt's shoes getting escorted in...I bet you were wondering where Penelope Cruz was on the day her former beau Tom Cruise got married. Not pouting, or playing solitaire, no she was being interviewed for the ELLEN Show....only one professional Photographer (& me) got the shot. It will probably be worth a fortune. I ran into these three girls near the stage door. They really wanted Ellen Tickets. They thought when Ellen comes out of the dressing room she will see their signs and they will get to see the show. but Ellen was too far away, and in a hurry to do a bit stunt in front of the studioWhat you will see on TV is Ellen trying to parallel park a 70's jallopy in a tight spot...She was very happy with her success, sadly the girls with the signs were blocked by the pole and Ellen never saw their them, but eh they saw Clay Aiken at Regis and Kelly on Friday, and if you saw it too you would say "Clay putting his hand on Kelly Ripa's mouth to shut her up = Priceless!!
