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.''
Oh, wait...
How special.
I have to disagree. When she was a simple, humble comedian, before she felt it important to force me to accept her bad life-choices, I thought she had her moments. (Anyone remember "Duet" on Fox before they re-tooled it and screwed it all to heck?)
Carpe Diem
What possible reason could you have for posting this garbage here? This isn't supposed to be a Hollywood gossip site.
I thought that homosexuals tout their "steady relationships" when they want to adopt?
Tis my goal every day.
You have your pick unless y7ou go back to hetero. Anne Heche gets slammed on E!.
OK, enlighten me. Show me the political implications of this article.
Sooner or later they all end up as the "secret square". As if they could replace Paul Lynde.
Tony Danza????
Yeah, I saw his name in another post about the catfight between Elton John and George Michael, did a Google, and sure enough the fags are really talking about him a lot.
At this point, I'm just assuming that all of Hollywood is homo unless an individual specifically states otherwise.
Destruction often leads to further destruction, too.
