I thought all they wanted was long-term relationships like marriage, because homosexuality is so stable and forever, donchaknow.

Ellen DeGeneres finds a new love
There's good news and bad news in Ellen DeGeneres' household.
DeGeneres, 46, has broken up with her girlfriend of four years, photographer Alexandra Hedison, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer. But, proving that destruction often leads to new life, she has done so to pursue a romance with 31-year-old Arrested Development star Portia de Rossi, who left her girlfriend, singer Francesca Gregorini ( Ringo Starr's stepdaughter). Oh, the drama.
The new couple have VH1's extravaganza Big in '04 to thank for it all. While they first met some nine months ago at a photo shoot, the two did not actually conjoin until they saw each other again at the music channel's awards show Dec. 1, after which de Rossi told friends they fell in love instantly.
But despite instigating the split, DeGeneres is still heartbroken. The New York Post claims she was spotted ''crying hysterically on her phone'' in the lobby of a hotel after a Christmas party.
DeGeneres and Hedison, 35, began quietly dating in 2000, shortly after DeGeneres and Anne Heche ended their headline-grabbing relationship. That split prompted a media frenzy that was helped along by Heche's post-breakup wanderings around Fresno, Calif., waiting for the mother ship to beam her up.
News of the latest split will come as a surprise to those who caught DeGeneres on Dateline NBC last month, as she responded in the affirmative when asked if Hedison was the love of her life.
''Yes. Yeah. I've never felt this way before. Ever,'' she gushed. ``She's amazing. She's kind. She's funny. Really, really funny. Makes me laugh very hard. I'm happier than I've been in my entire life.''
De Rossi, meanwhile, has remained tight-lipped about her personal life.
''I live my life the way I want to live it,'' the former Ally McBeal beauty recently told Australia's Herald-Sun. ``I am certainly not going to modify my life just to suit the paparazzi.''
But despite instigating the split, DeGeneres is still heartbroken.
Makes me wanna grab the paper with one hand while stuffing it quickly in the trash
and taking my other hand and sticking it down my throat.

"she has done so to pursue a romance with 31-year-old Arrested Development star Portia de Rossi"
arrested development....about sums it up, I'd say
Not really. Ellen's a media darling, and whoever she's dating becomes a hot commodity after the inevitable breakup. Once Ellen is through with you, you pretty much have your pick of the entire community.
What a bunch of sick puppies!!!!
Don't worry, when the homos start to marry, the divorce rate won't go up.
New Headline:
ELLEN DEGENERES FINDS NEW LOVE...STILL NOT VERY FUNNY.
But somehow, we are all inexorably drawn to read and comment.
I'm guessing the man in the last pic is named Mr. Muncher....
You do. At least enough to read and comment.
Have you seen Portia de Rossi?? She should have her pick of the entire community already. I mean, we're not exactly talking Rosie or Melissa Etherige here.
Wouldn't it be just lovely to watch them "conjoin"?
I agree. It is a good show..
So true.
I have to say, though, that when I read the headline I actually thought she had "straightened" out, and I did want to read how that had happened.
I was all ready to be happy for her...I'm so naive.
Carping again?
