Ellen Degeneres Believes in Vitaminwater

Did you notice that during Hollywood Week on American Idol, the usual Coca-Cola cups in front of the judges were replaced with Vitaminwater? This is why.

Ellen Degeneres has signed on to represent Vitaminwater Zero, because between her talk show and American Idol, she didn't have enough work (kidding).

"No one has more going on than Ellen does," said Matt Kahn, senior vice president of marketing for Vitaminwater. "The fact that she incorporates Vitaminwater Zero into her hectic lifestyle made her the perfect partner."

That's a really good point, Matt. Those of us who are gainfully busy often forget to take the time to eat well or take multivitamins. In this way, Vitaminwater kills two birds with one stone. In seven flavors.

"I’m thrilled to be working with Vitaminwater Zero," said Ellen Degeneres. "It tastes great, it’s good for you and it has zero calories per serving. It does everything for your body except massage it. But that’s why I have Armando."

Haha, can we have his number?

The new Vitaminwater Zero is naturally sweetened with Truvia, which is made from the stevia leaf, and includes vitamin C, B vitamins and electrolytes. 20-ounce bottles will be rolling into your local stores this month, so keep an eye out for them — it's a far more civilized way to get your vitamins than trying to down a horse-sized pill every morning.
