Here come the brides...Ellen DeGeneres and longtime girlfriend Portia De Rossi are getting hitched in a good, old-fashioned, legally recognized style.
Ellen announced the news while taping her show yesterday –- the same day California courts ruled against a ban on gay marriages. Studio audience members cheered and gave a standing ovation as Portia watched from the sidelines. (You might remember Portia from "Ally McBeal” and, more recently, “Nip/Tuck.”)
"I'm thrilled that the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage," she told The Advocate magazine yesterday. "I can't wait to get married. We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday...not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote."
Mazel tov!
