In December’s issue of O: The Oprah Magazine, Ellen DeGeneres talks about her wife, Portia de Rossi, and her upcoming gig on American Idol.
On Portia:
“She is so beautiful and so smart and so funny,” DeGeneres gushes.
She is very content with the state of things in their relationship.
“I have that sense of ‘I’m done now.’ I’m settled,” she says. “I know that part of my life is taken care of. I’ve got love. I’ve got someone who will be with me till the day I die.”
Wow, that’s a powerful statement to make, especially in Hollywood where relationships don’t last very long. I’m really cheering these two on, they seem so genuinely happy together.
Ellen said that the American Idol offer really shocked her.
“They came to me, and it was a total surprise,” she explains. “I like to try new things because I get bored so easily. And I like the show, so I thought it was a great idea.”
Are you looking forward to Ellen being on American Idol? I think it will certainly mean more humor – crossing my fingers.

Ellen has done amazing things in her life, she deserves the best.
I can’t wait to see Ellen in the audition part of the show, that’s gonna be hilarious!
It will definately interesting to see her on AI.
They were too cute on Oprah.
I don’t even like American Idol but will watch it because Ellen is so funny and I think the auditions will have us all rolling on the floor. I also can’t wait to see her interaction with Simon which I think will be equally as funny.
Not that I don’t think Ellen will be great on American Idol, I do struggle to see her relavance in the show. Are the ratings dropping? and I have always loved these 2 together, seems like the real deal to me.
Nice couple.
good for them. sounds like true love <3
i keep on forgetting she’s going to be in AI. it’ll be interesting to see what she has to say….especially in the beginning when there’s ppl who cant sing lol. that’s what i like watching (if i do watch it).
cuuuuuuuuuuute =)
They make a nice couple. I agree–all we need is love.
They make a very nice couple.
love ,sweet love
I’m so glad they have each other! I really think having Ellen on the show will make it extra special. Even though she’s a comedian she always has nice things to say about people.
I adore both of these women… and they seem so genuinely happy together, I can’t help but be happy for them.
They are lovely ladies
