Ellen Goes Crazy for Girl Scout Cookies

Ellen DeGeneres has bought 1,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. She does love the cookies, but the purchase was to help a troop in Ohio make enough money for a trip to New York.

You just never know who will buy a few boxes of Girl Scout cookies -- or a thousand. Ten-year-old Alexis Moyers of Geneva, Ohio, is a fan of comedian Ellen DeGeneres. So she e-mailed the talk show host to ask if she would buy some Girl Scout cookies to help her troop pay for a trip to New York.

DeGeneres didn't just buy some boxes, she ordered one-thousand, at three dollars, 50 cents a box. A Girl Scout spokeswoman says DeGeneres ordered an assortment of cookies.

The show's publicist says DeGeneres placed her order with Alexis during a telephone call that aired during Thursday's show. On a show that will air today, DeGeneres will get her cookies and present Alexis with a check for 35-hundred dollars.

We think that ten-year-old Alexis Moyers of Geneva, Ohio, has bright future in sales ahead of her.
