Degeneres and Lohan Use the Weekend to Illustrate Hollywood Lesbian Do's and Dont's
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 3:00 AM on August 19, 2008
Congratulations are in order for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who married Saturday night in an intimate ceremony held on the grounds of their California home. The brides both wore Zac Posen and exchanged handwritten vows promising to love each other "in sickness and in health, for as long as no pesky cameramen get in the way." Attendance was capped at 19, all the better to exclude potential wedding crasher Barbara Walters.
Still, the lesbian goddess giveth with one hand while she takes away with the other, for no sooner did the two marry than details of a sapphic Hollywood breakup emerged involving the famously "gone gay" Lindsay Lohan.
According to News of the World, Lohan's assignation with Samantha Ronson isn't her first walk on the same-sex side. In fact, they quote an anonymous source that fills the tabloid in on all the steamy details that surrounded Lohan's relationship with Courtenay Semel (daughter of ex-WB topper Terry Semel).
"From the start Lindsay was very confused about her feelings for Courtenay so did more and more drugs to stifle the sexual attraction she was experiencing.
"But eventually she just gave in and at every party they'd kiss and touch each other in the corner. It's a miracle nobody found out.
"Both of them would do lines of cocaine in the toilets then head home and fall into bed together."
Sadly, those strong romantic underpinnings were eventually undone by Lohan's refusal to go public, though her relationship with Ronson would be considerably more higher-profile. As for Semel, she moved on to Tila Tequila, the bisexual MTV star who was just quoted in the AP's Degeneres article: "I just want to say congratulations, and I am really sorry you didn't invite me to your wedding." Though it may seem like there are hurt feelings in the small world of Hollywood power lesbians, we're sure it's nothing that can't be settled by a day trip to Long Beach and a round of $2 domestic beers at Shotgun.

"It's a miracle nobody found out."
WTF? I distinctly remember reading about this in Ye Olde Defamerer not that long ago because I noticed the unneccesarily complicated spelling of 'Courtenay'.
News of the World needs to get out more often...

Because if I were lesbian I'd need tons of blow to cope. Heck, I may already be one.

Wait - Linz broke up with the DJ? What? Whatever, she got the hat, so I guess it was amicable?

There was "Bennifer" and "Brangelina", but no one came up with a cute composite for Degeneres and De Rossi? Like "De De"? "Double D"? or "Generossity"?

@OldTowneTavern:
So much of the self-loathing for knowing this, but the tabloids like to call Portia and Ellen "Porcellen", like the place settings from France.
