They did it!  Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are now blissfully married. Over the weekend, the couple officially became a unit in front of 19 of their closest friends and family while both wearing Zac Posen.

"Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles.

Congrats! I just love Ellen to pieces and I am so happy that she has found the one.

Wedding bells!!!

Us Weekly is reporting that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are planning to marry this weekend in California. It is believed the comedian will tape the nuptials and air it in May on her talk show. 

 

"It's something that we've wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited. I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous that we don't all have the same rights."

But not to be too serious, Ellen says planning a wedding can become a bit chaotic.

"Planning a wedding is very stressful. It's crazy. My gardener is now invited."

Forget about Ellen DeGeneres winning "outstanding talk show host" for the fourth year in a row at the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, look at how cute she is showing off Portia De Rossi's engagement ring! I just LOVE this couple.

Ellen is one of those celebrities that I would probably go up to and hug... yes creepy I know. But she seems like such a genuine person and I really do wish her continued success and happiness.

You have to love Ellen DeGeneres! She isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Here she is talking to John McCain about gay marriages.

Congrats to the happy couple! Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are getting married now that the California supreme court gave same sex couples the right to marry.

The pair has been dating since 2004. Ellen made the announcement on her show and the crowd went WILD and gave them a standing ovation!

Celebrities came out in droves to show their support to the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. TR Knight, Rufus Wainwright, Janet Jackson, Sarah Silverman, Cindy Crawford, Sofia Vergara, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi all walked the red carpet for the show held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. When I visited LA, I totally acted like a tourist and took the theatre tour. It really is an amazing venue.Click on the thumbnails to enlargeBauer Griffin

It's video day on INO. :)
Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard when I watched this that I almost fell out of my chair, literally!!! You HAVE to watch this video of Ellen in her "Hawaii Chair." It has a magic rotating seat that makes you skinny while you sit...I need one of these things!
Watch it and tell me how much you would love to sit in one of those while you work, hahahahaha :)

While other shows are shutting down and actors are joining the writer's guild during their strike, Ellen DeGeneres crossed the picket lines and continued with her taping. But it was all with good intentions she's insisting. Ellen realized that the majority of her audience made travel arrangements to be part of her show and didn't want to disappoint. Now, Hollywood protesters are making it known that it was the wrong move. DeGeneres is trying her hardest to make everyone happy. Here is what she told her audience the day of the taping.

"I want to say I love my writers.  I love them. In honor of them today, I'm not going to do a monologue.  I support them and hope that they get everything they're asking for. And I hope it works out soon. In the meantime, people have traveled across the country. They've made plans. They're here. I want to do everything I can to make your trip enjoyable and give you a show."

This isn't her season is it? First the whole dog adoption issue and now this.
