LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ellen DeGeneres is putting the California Supreme Court ruling in favor of gay marriage into action — she and Portia de Rossi plan to wed, DeGeneres announced during a taping of her talk show.

DeGeneres was taping the episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday, the day the state's high court struck down California laws against gay marriage, and it was to air Friday, a person close to the production said.

Citing the court's ruling, DeGeneres said she and girlfriend de Rossi ("Ally McBeal," "Nip/Tuck") would be getting married.

De Rossi, 35, who was in the studio, and DeGeneres, 50, were applauded by audience members, the person close to the production said.

"I never would have thought my life would have turned out this way," DeGeneres told the magazine. "To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now."

Middle aged people can get married too I guess.

WTH does De Rossi see in her? A good provider?

[RexBeach]

Gee, how self indulgent.

Who leads when they dance?

Lots of cash.

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of ev'rything that stands
The end

Disgusting lesbians.

After a couple of years with Ellen, maybe she will divorce her and also go straight and marry a guy, like her previous wife did.

"Portia de Rossi" a/k/a Amanda Rogers.

She used to be Australian and used to be straight.

Now she's magically Italian and magically a lesbian.

Both "material" possessions. Funny no mention of a relationship with God.

Oh that's right she's a atheist lesbian...

The jokes are just too easy for this one.

In my best Church Lady voice....(clearing throat) ahem,,,...well, isn’t THAT special!

[WayneS]

Well isn’t that SPECIAL!

[John123]

Now she's magically Italian and magically a lesbian.

No matter... we are a celebrity obsessed culture... people will believe anything they want...

“Biblical Revelation is, in fact, above all the expression of a story of love, the story of the alliance between God and men. That is why the story of love and of the union between a man and a woman in the alliance of matrimony was taken by God as a symbol of the story of salvation. Due to this, the union of life and love, based on the marriage between a man and a woman, which constitutes family, represents an irreplaceable good for the entire society, which must not be confused with nor likened to other kinds of unions.”

Maybe she had to change her country of origin due to California’s strict law which prevents Aussies from marrying.

“To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now.”

Money and looks, how shallow.

De Rossi, 35, who was in the studio, and DeGeneres, 50, were applauded by audience members, the person close to the production said.

Ellen apparently was looking for a much younger "trophy" to "marry".

[Rummyfan]

How sweet! Projectile chunk-spewing barf alert!

What does DeRossi see in her? Maybe just as some heteros advance their career by sleeping with the right person, DeRossi is doing the same thing merely in a lesbian sense..... Ann Heche did the same thing - whoever heard of her before she moved in with Ellen D - till she figured out she wasn't lesbian....

Now they can lick kitty’s to their hearts content.
