What do Ellen DeGeneres and Hillbilly Jim Have to Do with Theme Parks?

They'll both be featured at Universal theme parks. The WrestleMania Fan Axxess (sic) Tour comes to Universal Citywalk, the free-admission shopping/dining/entertainment complex adjacent to Universal Studios Hollywood this weekend, Saturday, February 23 and Sunday, February 24. The free event includes meet and greets with WWE celebrities, contests, and other activities to promote the squared circle's biggest annual event, WrestleMania. Sorry, Ric Flair, Triple H, John Cena and other A-list wrestlers won't be at Universal Citywalk, but Z-list veteran Hillbilly Jim will be hosting the California Fan Axxess event. Ellen DeGeneres, meanwhile, will be bringing her daytime ChatMania show to Universal Orlando on Friday, March 28th and Saturday, March 29th. Info about tickets, a trip giveaway, and a very funny Ellen-at-Universal video is available at the Ellen DeGeneres Show site.
