Ellen DeGeneres turned 55 yesterday on the 26th of January. The celebrations started early on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" -- readers sent in virtual gifts and during the show on Friday, Katy Perry emerging onto the stage dressed as a man.

Ellen gave away some amazing gifts to her audience which included a 3 day stay at a resort! Not to forget the cake, her 4 tier cake was just as quirky as she is, done in stripes and checkered pattern she is known to wear.

The President had a busy week, but he still made time to extend a very special birthday wish for Ellen. You can checkout what Obama sent in the video below.

Huffington Post wrote an article on 55 reason we love Ellen and I selected a few:

**Her hilarious campaign to appear on the cover of O, The Oprah Magazine. Ellen begged her way onto the cover of O by mentioning it on her show constantly, photoshopping images of herself onto existing covers of past issues and creating an "O Yes I Can" vision board. In December 2009, Ellen's wish came true when she appeared with Oprah on an O cover. The only other person who had ever been pictured with Oprah was Michelle Obama.

**She's funny without cursing -- because it's more difficult.

**She challenged Michelle Obama to a push-up contest -- and lost gracefully.

**She won't compromise herself in the name of success.

** She's full of energy -- all the time.

**In 2012, she won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor
