WEDDED BLISS Ellen DeGeneres on new bride Portia de Rossi: "She's officially off the market. No one else gets her. And now she'll cook and clean for me."
L-words Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were wed this weekend at their home in Los Angeles. Because every celebrity is equally unworthy of privacy in the eyes of money hungry paparazzi, there's some sneaky photos of the nuptials after the jump.

HERE COME THE BRIDES "Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, 35, will wed this weekend in California. … The pair are planning a small, intimate ceremony with only a few close friends and family."
Noted Hollywood star and heterosexual Will Smith appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ television show on Monday to discuss – as Ellen is wont to do following some little California court ruling – marriage. Ellen, as you might have heard, plans to marry girlfriend Portia de Rossi, and so that is all she can think about, even if her writers might have put other talking points on her cue cards. So how has Smith, who is married to heavy metal singer Jada Pinkett, kept his marriage going strong for 10 years?
Those of you who can’t catch today’s Ellen, during which the lesbian funny lady grills Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on gay marriage, should dive into that there jump and watch the clip.
It’s perfect for that midday slump…
Simon Cowell spoke to Ellen today about the upcoming American Idol finale (he predicts David Cook will win), his harshness and, of course, FantasiaGate. The former Idol's performance on last week's results show "just sort of exploded," according to Cowell, whose commentary always perfectly sums up everything we were feeling as well.

In light of the California Supreme Court decision to overturn the ban on gay marriage, Ellen DeGeneres — lesbian, host, friend — announced during a taping of her show yesterday that she will marry longtime partner Portia de Rossi, who was in the audience at the time. At the revelation, the audience rose to give DeGeneres and de Rossi a standing ovation. (We started tearing up while writing this; it's so damn overdue and cute.)
Heidi Montag is back this week with an appearance on Ellen, and it's the same stuff she's been saying on every talk show — Lauren Conrad is evil, Heidi didn't start the sex tape rumor, she's praying for LC, etc. But the interesting thing about this clip is how she has taken to talking just like Spencer Pratt — it's disturbing, but not nearly as bad as her hollow claims that she has lots of friends (like her sister).

Ashlee Simpson stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show to tape an appearance that will air later today, and — wouldn't you know it? — she was asked about those pesky pregnancy rumors that were likely planted by Papa Joe. Her response:
Well, that has been going on for quite a while. That is definitely something that I choose personally not to discuss except for the fact that maybe … Do I look like I had 10 cheeseburgers or something? Because I don’t think I do.
What she means is that she's not pregnant, but this is the only way to get people to pay attention to her. Expect a firm denial after her crappy album is released, when it no longer matters.

According to a couple top 10 lists from the Huffington Post, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's bestest, most awesome celebrity supporters are both talk show hosts. Clinton's got Ellen DeGeneres and Obama's repped by Oprah. Clinton also has the backing of Eva Longoria and Magic Johnson, while Obama counts Chris Rock and some Kennedys as fans. None of this should matter, but, remember, 45 percent of American adults put stock in the recommendations of celebrities. Which reminds us of a quote from our favorite politician: "The best argument against democracy is five minutes with the average voter."
Ryan Phillippe popped over to Ellen this morning for a good old chat. The handsome and somewhat hapless actor, whose movie Stop Loss coincidentally opens this weekend, gabbed about his high school fashion sense, getting into the business and, yes, playing gay on One Life To Live, which cast him as the first openly homo teen in sudster history.
On her show yesterday outed lesbian Ellen DeGeneres telephoned Sally Kern. Besides being the wife of a Baptist minister, Kern is also an Oklahoma legislator who last Friday told a group of supporters that "the homosexual agenda is just destroying this nation" and that gays pose a bigger threat to America than terrorists. Kern didn't answer Ellen's call, and her voice mailbox was full at the time, but that doesn't mean YOU can't give it a go: (405) 557-7348.
In her most recent interview with giddy talk show maven Ellen DeGeneres, singer-cum-infant pimper Christina Aguilera talks about the bigness of her breasts, the bigness of her dog, the bigness of her home's backyard and the bigness of her new DVD. It's ironic considering the compass of her interests is obviously so very small.

Celebrities make too much money. Subjective, sure, but probably true. Truer still is that very often those fortunes are wasted in inglorious, ill-planned blazes.
But sometimes the millions serve a higher purpose; sixth homes declined in favor of the public that makes a celebrity a celebrity. Yet where are those figures in Star and the National Enquirer?
Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.

O IS FOR OUSTED "Ellen DeGeneres ousted Oprah Winfrey as favorite television personality in a poll released Monday. The popular entertainer catapulted from the No. 8 spot last year to push Winfrey into second place. Winfrey had reigned the Harris Poll's favorite television stars list for five consecutive years." Does this mean Obama's going to lose to Hillary?
