Portia De Rossi Says Acting Was The Right Choice
Did you know that Portia de Rossi went to law school for a year? She had every intention of becoming a lawyer and is so thankful that isn't the path she ended up walking. Acting is what she loves to do, and her new role on Better Off Ted is her ticket back into our living rooms.
"I went to law school for a year thinking I was going to do that for a living before I went to acting. To think that that could have been my life is pretty shocking to me," says de Rossi, 36.
"You're just trying to get ahead and be successful, but at the same time, if you're working for a company like this, it's so immoral. It doesn't care about people, it doesn't care about you, but you're striving to achieve this great career."
Portia's new show will premiere this Wednesday (8:30 EST). Get ready for a new ruthless de Rossi because her character is the high powered lead for Ted's R&D team.
"She really doesn't care about how other people feel or how they interpret what she's saying," de Rossi says. "That's what is so fun for me, because I'm always worried about how I'm coming off or if someone will be offended by something I've said."
Can Portia relate? Not really. Her career isn't on top of her list of priorities.
"I'd rank my career as a good, healthy third of my life. It's important, and without this third, I wouldn't feel whole. But it's not important for me to be engaged in it 12 months of the year.
Anyone going to tune in this week?

No Truth To IVF Portia De Rossi Story
Last week, INO posted a story about Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi trying for a child via IVF. Turns out someone with a really big imagination decided to spread some lies about the pair because Portia has released a statement discrediting the rumor.
"There’s a story around right now about me that could not be further from the truth. (The IVF story) was just completely made up. The baby thing comes around annually. I find once a year, you know, whether I deny it or not. It doesn’t make any difference."
I don't know why this still shocks me, but it does. Someone was just trying to make a quick buck I suppose. But how quickly these magazines bite for a lead!
Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi Go Vegan
Going vegan is HARD! I tried it for a while and had a nervous break down in the middle of a Turkish restaurant because I couldn't tell if my rice was cooked with butter or oil. I was crying so hard, we actually had to LEAVE the place.
It really is a true life change. You don't realize how many items we consume that are connected to animals... unless you stop and think about it. Since then, I haven't had eggs, yogurt, milk or raw cheese. I've also severely limited my intake of cooked products... but that's very hard to do when everything has egg or butter in it! Like I said... I was unsuccessful at accomplishing this.
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia De Rossi are giving vegan a go! They've made the decision and are really happy with their progress. Portia feels the compassionate change was the right one.
"We just made that shift in our lives. The benefit of it is weight
loss. For her more than me. Her body responded to it very well. It is
amazing. We are just both very happy. It feels like such a compassionate
choice. We are such animal lovers, why stop short of cows and chickens?
It didn’t make any sense."
And De Rossi admits she and her wife have
been working towards becoming vegans since their very first date.
"When Ellen and I first got together I was wearing fur and
Ellen was wearing very expensive Italian calfskin leather. She was
giving me a hard time about wearing the fur and I said, ‘Why is a fox
any more important than a cow?’ "We took that idea and went all the way
with it. We are doing what we can."

AWWW! How Sweet!
I am buying that shirt for my husband! Though... I think it doesn't have the same effect if I HAND it to him to wear as opposed to him buying it on his own. Sigh...
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi were spotted out and about walking in Beverly Hills, California yesterday afternoon. Portia sported an "I Love My Wife" shirt and Ellen loved every minute of it. :)
