Hollywood lesbian affair ends with duel on the legal frontier
Sunday Times ^ | 09/01/05 | John Harlow

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.

Here's the side by side. Seems one and three would have been a better match.

Golly, I've got to believe that the relationship could have been saved if only there had been a couple of children involved. You know, diseased perverts are people too!

This ugly little scene is exactly why trial lawyers are pushing for gay marriage.

The revolving door relationships that gays have with each other will continue if gay marriages become legal.

Divorces between gays will become the biggest and fastest growing meal ticket for trial lawyers since the tobacco suits.

Sounds like a good plot outline for a series.

Three dykes and a wedding?

Oh, FOUR dykes and a wedding!

i was listening to tom leykis about 6 months ago or so.

in calls this middle eastern moslem chick whose father and brother demanded that she stay a virgin in the united states. but she was not, as her mother knew, and apparently approved.

so she goes on how this other woman took her top off, kissed her, and wanted to do her!

she sounded cute, after confirming she lived in the los angeles area, leykis put her on hold to talk to his assistant.

once off the air leykis admitted that his assistant liked the way she sounded and was going over to do her!

unbelievable. different world than i grew up in.

My, what a mess. It's not called "Hollyweird" for nothing.

not really, since homosexuals rotaite recreational sex partners (homosexuality is only about recreational sex fetish) the childless, property less divorces can be done with forms and without lawyers.

In addition 27 states do not allow the sex partner to adopt the naturally produced children of homsexuals, so there is no custody issue there. (it would be the same as an unadopted step child)

What really needs to be reformed is to eliminate palimony and commonlaw marriage (there is no reason for it this day and age). There also needs to be a model divorce law which does not allow these types of homo-fest show trials.

I'm convinced in a fight De Generis would lick Hedison.

The first wife is for love, the second is for money. What is the third for again? Punishment?

Third time is not for anything, it is against reason.
