12:43PM Jess McGuire | The Australian Women’s Weekly isn’t just for older women who dress like Maggie Tabberer and are keenly interested in the goings on at Pat McDermott’s house (Man Of The House aka MOTH = GOOD TIMES). It is also a legitimate read for bored 28 year olds loitering at a cafe waiting for a store they thought opened at 9am to finally let her in the door. Don’t question me. More »

1:39PM Jess McGuire | Portia De Rossi is really starting to worm her way into my heart by way of increasingly adorable footage on YouTube. Sure, you might think she’s brilliant when it comes to comedy due to her portrayal of Lindsay Bluth Fünke in Arrested Development, but me? I’m won over by her thoughtful public service announcement about the pain her gay wedding caused Proposition 8 supporters.

11:20AM Jess McGuire | Look, I realise some folks out there might still be unhappy about what went down with Iggy the Dog back in 2007. Others may feel uncomfortable about Ellen’s penchant for crazed dancing during her talk show. Perhaps you’ve never forgiven her for the farce that was Mr Wrong. But me? I’m over all those issues, and I just plain love her. And I love her even more when she’s mucking about adorably with her Geelong raised missus Mandy Rogers!

Ron Howard Unwilling To Blame ‘Punk’ Michael Cera for ‘Arrested Development’ Holdup
2:33AM Kyle Buchanan | Lower your pitchforks! Even as yet another Arrested Development actor comes aboard the movie (more on that later), Ron Howard is defending Michael Cera’s right to maybe shred the film’s script, if he wants to. More »

Ellen DeGeneres Finally Puts Her Money Where Her Mouth Is On Prop 8
6:50AM Kyle Buchanan | For nearly a month, we’ve needled gay Hollywood to contribute to the “No on Prop 8″ cause that, for a while, seemed to be the exclusive domain of straight allies like Steven Spielberg and Brad Pitt. Most visibly MIA was Ellen DeGeneres, whose marriage this summer to actress Portia De Rossi should have given her even more reasons to fight Prop 8, which is designed to take away marriage rights awarded to same-sex couples in California. Now, finally, DeGeneres has stepped up to the plate, donating $US100,000 so that the “No on Prop 8″ campaign can air a new ad DeGeneres has recorded about how the proposition affects her personally. Props must be paid. The ad, after the jump: More »
Ellen And Portia’s Wedding Video: Dangerously In Love
3:54AM Seth | We needed something to bleach the image of Julianna Margulies’s privates off our cortex, and what better psychic disinfectant than some exclusive footage from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s recent nuptials. Both brides look stunning—their vaginas safely stowed away somewhere where guests and hovering helicopters would never see them. We were particularly moved by the moment Ellen first laid eyes on Portia emerging in full hair, makeup, and gown, a sight that could turn even the most ardent of penis-enthusiasts into card-carrying members of the American Association of Lipstick Lesbians.

A Peek Inside Ellen And Portia’s Guest Book: CNN Bigotry, Katherine Heigl’s Misery, and T.R. Knight’s Dream
8:20AM Seth | By all accounts, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s Saturday wedding was a stunning and intimate affair, the two beautiful brides eliciting audible gasps from the guests as they walked down the aisle, trailed closely behind by Iggy the Flower Dog tossing mouthfuls of white rose petals. Obviously, the world bids these two rapturously-in-love and talented ladies a lifetime of happiness together, though it’s interesting to see how those good wishes sometimes play themselves out. For starters, we have CNN’s headline on the nuptials, noticed by blogger Chexydecimal, which reads, “Ellen DeGeneres ‘marries’ Portia Rossi.” After complaints were lodged, they pulled the scare quotes—floating there like two chubby, hooked televangelist’s fingers—but kept De Rossi’s last name wrong.

Degeneres and Lohan Use the Weekend to Illustrate Hollywood Lesbian Do’s and Dont’s
3:00AM Defamer Hollywood | 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.Geelong Prepares To Make Ellen DeGeneres An Honorary G-Banger
10:47AM Clem Bastow | This is some news that will no doubt make the author of this tribute video very happy indeed: if we are to believe Peter “Look Ma, I Made A Real Live Career Out Of This!” Timbs’ entertainment reportage, Portia de Rossi plans to bring her fiancee Ellen DeGeneres to meet the family in Geelong over summer before they wed.
This is also good news for the Australian tabloid media, who are always keen to claim a celebrity as “ours” after tenuous connections to the country are established – welcome to the crew, Ellen!
TV Week writer Peter Timbs appeared on Fox FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday where he announced the news.
He told radio listeners de Rossi, who grew up in Grovedale, would introduce DeGeneres, a US talk show host, to the family on their first trip Down Under as a couple. But it is de Rossi’s Geelong-based grandmother who is set to get the first visit.
“She (Ellen) actually wants to meet the grandmother,” Timbs said.
“Portia is quite close with the grandmother in Geelong and Ellen talks to her on the phone all the time but hasn’t met her face to face.
“But she is coming over at Christmas time to meet granny at last.”
Aww, dear old nanna Rogers will likely be thrilled to be in the papers, and we hope Ellen enjoys her time in G-Town. Maybe she can visit the National Wool Museum!
NB: that is not some sort of celebrity lesbian in-joke/code, it’s just something to do in Geelong. More »
