HELL hath no fury like a Hollywood lesbian scorned. The former girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres is considering legal action against both the comedian and her new lover, the Ally McBeal actress Portia de Rossi, in a case that could redraw the boundaries of romantic strife in America. Alexandra Hedison, 35, is said to have been shocked after 46-year-old DeGeneres asked her to leave the Los Angeles home they had shared for four years. De Rossi, 31, moved in before Christmas. Hedison is now taking advice from Trope and Trope, a Los Angeles law firm that has represented stars from Cary Grant to Jennifer Lopez. Its lawyers have shown how she could seek revenge and riches with a “twin attack” on the new couple.
DeGeneres met de Rossi on a photo-shoot last summer. At that point de Rossi, the ice-cool lawyer Nelle in Ally McBeal, was preparing to “marry” her girlfriend Francesca Gregorini, the stepdaughter of Ringo Starr. They broke up last month.
Legal sources say Hedison, a photographer, could file legal papers this spring, beginning with a palimony action against DeGeneres. But Hedison is also said to be considering suing de Rossi for “alienation of affection”, a legal stratagem dating back to frontier days when seducing a spouse was regarded as theft.
“She would have to prove the seduction took place in those states which still recognise the law, like on holiday in Hawaii,” said Richard Barry, of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. “If she can do that, she could cause a lot of financial damage.”
DeGeneres, meanwhile, has moved to crush speculation about tensions with her ex-lover. “I still love and care tremendously for her and we are working together on the ending of our relationship on that level and intend to keep it private,” she said in a statement.
Degenerate ought get her a dog, they have no Bar priviledges.
My tagline....................
I so don't get her "show".....even Mrs Nitti has admitted that there's something not quite right with it.
Anyone remember when Anne Heche was the wacky one?
LOL! What a waste of one hour every night. FoxNews is stinkin' up the joint with her lame show. What a waste - nothing but scandal and gossip. You would think it was produced by The National Enquirer.
A true self-promoting legal vampire. She will fit into this situation like she was custom made for it.
Regards,
It's really surprising how much time and effort the libs take crusading against smoking, which probably shortens an average life by 10 or 20 years, as opposed to their strenuous efforts to promote homosexuality, which, in men, reduces the average life span to about 40 years.
We would need pics of both before we could decide if Ellen traded up. Every sucessful Hollywood type needs a trophy wife.
The first wife is for love, the second is for money. What is the third for again? Punishment?
BUMP
the Ally McBeal actress Portia de Rossi..
What a waste!
Really, they're not.
And someone send Ellen Degenerate the news: your fifteen minutes are up.
*giggle*
Kind of puts a sparkle in my day knowing i'd have a better chance of banging Portia than any of the men on the board.
*giggle*
i'd stick-out my tongue...but it seems i may have a better use for that.
*giggle*
(and yeah, it's a joke)
Look at the bright side, Ellen gets her women so mad, they turn straight. She could be back on the market soon.
and Rossi
