Ah, but the REAL question remains: Was she STONED? :p
[Edit: Hm, she was on Benedryl, huh? How anti-climatic... ;) of course, I doubt she'd actually admit to being on any illegal substances anyway... If that's what she says, though, I believe her.]

Let's just hope she remembers what made her famous (Apple) if she gets an MTV show.
Now it's time to start the count down of how long it'll take for that site to get slash dotted and crash and burn (.asp? it looks like it's on NT! watch out!)

Oh, this is fantastic - I really wanted to see someone interview her -
We didn’t think we were going to make ads; we were just going to get the free set food. Can be taken as the munchies?
Are you OK with all the Web sites, and people walking around wearing your face on their T-shirts?
Oh, whatever, I think it’s kind of funny. These people don’t have lives.
I got a lot of crazy offers. I thought if I went on Letterman, it would be like I go on Letterman, and then I go on “Regis and Kelly,” and then I go on Channel 5 News, and then it would kind of fizzle out pathetically. MTV’s a little cooler.
She's also pretty smart and seems rather well grounded.
Has Apple tried to contact you since all this happened?
They contacted me to supposedly advise me. They were like, “We don’t really want you to take this anywhere,” but I decided to get an agent anyway. I went to Macworld in July. It seems like the kind of thing where if you’re not in the biz …. I thought it was the most boring thing. I got shuttled down to New York, and I got VIP seating, and I was like, “Wow, I’m at the Oscars or something,” but then I was like, “No, I’m at Macworld.” I met Steve Jobs. He called me by my first name — clever, huh? It was brief.
Hmm, wonder why Apple is against the fame aspect - makes her no longer part of the regular people? Strange.
Very cool - I'm sure the fan sites are eating this up.

Funniest part of the interview:
they wanted me to be in one of their movies, but since they found out how old I was they don’t think I can be in one
Second funniest part of the interview:
and I was like, “Wow, I’m at the Oscars or something,” but then I was like, “No, I’m at Macworld.”

"Hmm, wonder why Apple is against the fame aspect - makes her no longer part of the regular people? Strange."
Well, the reason Apple doesn't want her to draw too much attention is because of why she is famous. I mean, let's face it- if she didn't look stoned in the ads, people would never be talking about Ellen Feiss. I doubt Apple really wants that kind of PR.
MTV watching teenager- "Wow, Ellen is cool cause everyone tells me she smokes pot. Sweet! I'm gonna buy a Mac cause they're good computers for stoners."

Well the Benadryl part is totally believable. I've had terrible allergies all my life and even a couple years ago my boss said I looked stoned cuz my eyes were so glazed over too. I also remember being a teen, before they had the non-drowsy meds like Allegra and I spent 3 months every spring in a half asleep daze when taking allergy meds. I still won't even take older allergy meds as an adult unless I am trying to fall asleep. It's funny, because in the interview, she talks exactly like you'd expect her too--doesn't sound scripted at all which is refreshing.
