Finally a celebrity wedding we can get behind! Awesome fact number one: Yesterday the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage. Awesome fact number two: Ellen DeGeneres announced on her talk show (taped yesterday, airing today) that she and girlfriend Portia de Rossi are very excited to now be able to make their relationship legal. The couple has been dating since 2004 and we couldn’t be happier for them. Be sure and check your local listing and tune in today for Ellen’s tear-inducing live announcement!

    You Go Girls!!! How nice to live with another woman. Someone to chat with, clean with, do laundry with, hang out with. I wish I had that. My husband is not a chatter, a cleaner, a laundress or a hanger-outer. I wish I was a lesbian!
