Ellen DeGeneres Doesn’t Let a Michelle Obama Book Signing Disrupt Her Costco Shopping Trip

Tamra Judge calls it "the happiest place on Earth," and she's not talking about Disneyland. The Real Housewives of Orange County pal is just one of many Bravolebs who love Costco on any given day, but the big box store just got much more exciting this week when Ellen DeGeneres and Michelle Obama breezed through for a book signing for Michelle's new memoir Becoming that was filmed for Ellen.

Ellen was really excited to be there, but was it because of Michelle or because she, too, just really loves Costco? She finds and brings some cookies, a few jugs of wine (Kirkland, of course), and some really embarrassing non-edible items to greet Michelle's fans at the signing table. Silly as always, she even tore up a page from Michelle's book and served it to a little girl in a cup as a free sample.

The host sure didn't let a little something such as a book signing from the former First Lady get in the way of getting her Costco kicks, but at least she's got a support group of famous Costco fans who understand.
