Ashlee and Pete may have surprised everyone this weekend with what some Hollywood insiders are calling a shotgun wedding (hey, if Ashlee actually is pregnant, then at the ripe old age of 23, she's practically an old hag compared to Jamie Lynn Spears!), but Ellen has her own news to share: She wants to make an honest woman out of Portia de Rossi.
According to Jossip: “A spy in the audience of this afternoon’s taping of the Ellen DeGeneres Show tells us that after Ellen mentioned today’s California Supreme Court ruling striking down the state’s ban on gay marriage, she surprised everyone and announced that she was going to tie the knot with longtime girlfriend, actress Portia de Rossi. Portia was in the crowd and after she made the announcement, the studio audience went wild, giving the two a huge standing O.”
We reported last week that California says "AOK" to gay marriage, so get ready for Hollywood heavyweights like Jody Foster, Cynthia Nixon and um, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson to potentially make some big announcements. (One question: Where the gay dudes at?)
Actually, this is kind of awesome. I mean, with the way America worships celebrities, the more famous people that demonstrate that gay marriage doesn't result in the explosion of the universe the better for gay rights in general, right? MORE gay marriage in Hollywood, LESS plastic surgery please!
