Did Ellen DeGeneres Fake a Heart Attack for Ratings?

Paramedics were rushed to Ellen DeGeneres’ TV studio Monday after the talk show host fell to the ground holding her heart.

But TMZ is reporting that DeGeneres was actually fine, leaving fans wondering if the whole incident was merely a publicity stunt.

The timing was certainly suspect, as everyone in the studio audience received a free sample of high blood pressure medication Norvasc, a longtime sponsor of Ellen’s show.

Producers admit they were hesitant to call 911 at first, as they had a hard time deciphering the comedienne’s life-threatening arrhythmia from one of her annoying dance routines.
