Chasing Oprah

You can run .. but you can’t hide!

Chasing Ellen

June25

This whole site was inspired by Ellen De Generes and her successful stalking of George Clooney. Ellen waged a year long campaign to get the hottest man on earth on her show and after wooing him with exotic dancers and baseball players he eventually could not resist her charms (or just couldn’t be bothered getting a restraining order) and did in fact agree to appear on her show. Score one for celebrity stalkers! And just for the record it’s not called stalking if it involves two celebrities – it’s called netwanking…..oops I mean networking.

Ellen stalking, oops I mean talking to George Clooney

Ellen, I owe this crazy move in my life to you. And as you have set your sites on getting a cover shoot with the Big O, I too am chasing the one woman on earth, who just by switching brands of toilet paper, could save millions of rainforests around the world. I wanna be on Oprah!

Ellen, be the first celebrity TV host to have me on your show to get me on HER show. You know that it will only take one person brave enough to join me in this crazy jaunt and the rest will follow. Please film a to- camera piece imploring The O to have me on her show. Join my cause, have some fun and get on the Ajay train….choo choo!!!!!! Did I really just say Choo choo? It’s time for a cup of tea and a lie down I think.

And since you have recently been inducted as an aussie (oi!) I will return the favour by teaching you something Portia should have taught you a long time ago – The Tim Tam Slurpee! Sounds a lot dirtier than it is but it is an Australian tradition involving a hot drink, a chocolate biscuit and an orgasmic palate experience to die for…..and once you go there you will never ever ever be able to go back.

Ellen, I have sent you a link to my clip that explains a little of who I am. I have also sent you this clip.
Clip temp off line

Ellen, I have sent my darling little son to camp today for a whole month so I can concentrate on making this happen. Help me please or I am just going to have to send The Chippendales to you, dressed as George Clooney look alikes wearing cheerleading costumes. God forbid.

Ellen, help me pleeeeeaaaaassssseeeee!!!!!!!

Six years ago I made a $500 bet with a friend that I would be able to manifest an appearance on The Oprah Show. I have just one more year to make it happen and so on June 11 2009 I packed my bags and headed to the USA to make that dream happen.

Oprah, I am coming to get you baby!

“I wanna be on Oprah!”

Now, I’m not just some weirdo stalker fan (okay, well maybe just a bit) but I also have some substance to my life and one helluva story to tell as well.

These are the reasons I reckon Oprah would love to have me on her show:

I used to be a giant heifer. Yep, morbidly obese weighing nearly 300 pounds (130 kilos). Then I lost a whole person in weight.

Whilst doing so I filmed my weight loss and it became a documentary called “Larger Than Life”

Whilst doing that I broke my leg, ended up in a wheel chair but didn’t stop going.

Transformed my life

While doing that I kept a diary which became the best selling Confessions of a Reformed Dieter

Then when thousands of women wrote to me begging me to help them I created a website dedicated to helping women transform their life. That website is myhealthybodyclub.com.

Then when women wrote to me and begged me to tell them exactly how I lost an entire person from my body -150 pounds (60 odd kilos), I then rather reluctantly wrote The Lazy Girls Guide To Losing Weight and Getting Fit.

I say reluctantly because I never wanted to be called a diet queen or be considered a weight loss guru, I was just a fat chick who was sick of killing herself with food and decided to change her life - one meal at a time.

Then, wanting to do something for kids I wrote the kids book Blubberguts.

Then life got really really really hard for me. It was only a little later that I found out my beautiful son had Aspergers which is a form of autism. That explained sooooo much!

All I concentrated on was my son and helping women through my website. Everything else got left behind. That nearly landed me in jail earlier this year. Thankfully I was saved.

I continued trying to help other women by dedicating my life to the website and running Boot camps around Australia to help bring isolated women together.

Then one day I got a phone call asking if I wanted to audition for The Biggest Loser. I thought it was a friend having a laugh so I didn’t return the call.

They kept ringing. I kept not returning the calls.

They persevered so I thought to myself, “Don’t they know I’ve already lost the weight?”. They explained it was for the hosting role, not as a contestant.

Guess what? I got the job. Wow!

Life was very interesting being in the public eye and also being a working mum to a child with Aspergers. Boy was life hard!

Then I proceeded to get fat bashed solidly by the media and the viewers for four years. I got hate mail telling me to get on a treadmill and websites were dedicated to how fat I was or wasn’t at the time.

My weight fluctuated by about 12 pounds (5 kilos) and whilst I was winning the battle against my obesity, everyone, my bosses included, were unhappy with my weight issues. Most hosts are six foot tall and stick insects. I was a normal curvy girl who was just happy to not have to shop in the supersize section.

My work put me on a public diet during season 4. I had to weigh in each week and depending on how much weight I lost would depend on how much money they donated to charity. Boy, talk about pressure. I lost another 30 pounds (12 kilos).

My son and I battled on with his disorder and I am in the process of putting the finishing touches to my next book, Brown Texta, which is all about his autism and the path we have walked in getting a diagnosis and dealing with it.

My website is relaunched and members will not only have the support of each other but now each member can get fit and raise money for their chosen charities. Change your life and change the world. Love it!

I am raising money for autism charities worldwide by holding a dress auction - the Magic Wardrobe Auction. I am asking celebrities and designers of all shapes and sizes to please donate a dress that is special to them. We will then auction them off and donate the money to help our kids in need.

I am now in the USA and have my beautiful boy with me, risking everything for this opportunity of a lifetime - to walk the hallowed path to Holy Grail of talk shows. Oprah!!!!!!!

And so, this is my path. I MUST get on Oprah and tell my story. Please join my cause.

Over the next few months I will be interviewing people who have been on Oprah, discussing hints and tips on how to get on and what to do when I get there. I’ll be doing some crazy stunts and generally just recording my journey to the Big O!

I will also be interviewing other hopefuls who have the same dream as me. Together we are not alone!!!! Haha that sounded so poetic! Der! Of course together we are not alone!

Did you know I have sent my book to Oprah three times? I received a response once saying she received lots of books and to not expect a reply.

One time I sent a little koala and a jar of vegemite in it. I didn’t hear back that time.

Another time I sent it to someone who knows her. Still waiting……..come on Oprah!!!!

This time, things will be different.
