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."

“No no no no! G- D- America! It’s written in the Bible.”

My guess is that Ellen will get tired of her new current carpet cleaner just as she has in the past. Winner is, the attorney’s.

I'll bet Anne Heche is kicking herself....I heard she is like 500,000 in debt and has $64,000 to her name. Marrying Ellen might have made it worth it living like that.
Saying that gives me the heebie jeebies. Ellen should change her name to Allan.

[FrogMom]

I suspect they do anyway.

[gathersnomoss]

Well put, Jim.

She used to be Australian and used to be straight.

Apparently she is confused about how the whole "down under" thing is supposed to work.

"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."

The lunatics are running the asylum. And that's not just a figure of speech.

[Fawn]

That comment is as digusting as the subject. Both are equal. So, you cancel out.

[Piquaboy]

Amen!

[reagan_fanatic]

The California decision is just part of a disturbing legislative trend to legitimize the gay lifetstyle nationwide.

Look for other courts to rush to follow suit.

The whole thing disgusts me thoroughly.

[gathersnomoss]

So, Ellen...What God are we worshiping today, the “money” or “the gorgeous girlfriend”? Good luck when you break on through to the other side.

"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."

Luck is of no value on Judgment Day. None whatsoever.

Isn't she married - to a man - and has a child too?

[gathersnomoss]

Thank you.

“Apparently she is confused about how the whole “down under” thing is supposed to work.”
LOL....good one!

That’s Hollywood show biz.
