Kristen Bell's Sloth Meltdown

Last summer, Kristen Bell’s darling husband Dax Shepard gave her the gift of a lifetime for her 31st birthday. Apparently, Kristen is an avid sloth fan and had spent her entire life eagerly waiting for the day when she could play with one of these adorable creatures. She recently described her emotional birthday experience to Ellen Degeneres on her show, releasing a hysterical video of the moment. She freakishly sensed that a sloth was in her midst before her husband even showed her the gift. Kristen says that she had a “full-fledged panic attack” and immediately flung herself onto her bed in the fetal position, sobbing uncontrollably. This went on for a few minutes as she tried to contain her joy while her husband told her that the sloth, named Melon, was staying for her birthday party. The video has since been released on YouTube and has reached over 9 million views. Kristen admitted that she is a ridiculously emotional person. She started to tear up while simply telling the story to Ellen and almost had another breakdown when Ellen jokingly tells her there’s a sloth in the building.  Some find the video annoying, but I simply find it adorable and incredibly funny. I love Kristen Bell for allowing us to enjoy this embarrassing moment and embracing it. The girl has a thing for sloths; let her be.
