Ellen and Portia Will Do It in the Desert
INFDaily

It's gonna be one grand gay gala for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who will become wife and wife with a takeover of the Riviera Resort & Spa in Palm Springs, California, this fall.

That's the land of hard-partying Dinah Shore golf lesbians, for those of you not in the know.

"They said they wanted to have the ceremony in the tropical gardens by the pool and the reception in the grand ballroom," a source told Page Six. "They will also close a significant portion of the hotel, so it looks big."

Ellen has been talking up her "dream wedding" ever since the California court allowed same-sex marriages. "Yes, we have set a date," she said at the Daytime Emmys. "I feel like it's long overdue."

So just how big will big look? Portia will certainly land a nice companion to her three-karat, $60,000 Neil Lane engagement ring, and Ellen has told the AP that "incredible people" would sing at the ceremony.

Hear that, Justin Timberlake? They like you, they really, really like you.

Quotables /
“Looks like Ellen DeGeneres finally found the perfect engagement ring to give to her longtime love Portia de Rossi. The sparkling ring was made with a marquis cut diamond set with pink diamonds and made by jewelry designer Neil Lane. Both ladies were happy to show it off at the Daytime Emmys where Ellen reigned victorious.

The date for their upcoming wedding has not been announced, but Ellen said that the date has been set. She has been referring to it as "the dream wedding," and has only revealed that "incredible people" would be performing. During an interview on her show Ellen asked Justin Timberlake to sing and perform during the ceremony.

Ellen doesn't seem too be suffering from any pre-wedding anxiety either.

"I can't wait to be married. I feel like it is long overdue," she said. "And I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous like we all don't have the same rights."”

“Ellen DeGeneres opened a can of worms that John McCain desperately tried to keep the lid on during last night's episode of Ellen.

Gay marriage, of course.

The degenerating Republican senator - who will lose his run for presidency in November - clung to formality and politeness as the newly engaged talk show host raised the tricky topic.

'I just believe in the unique status of marriage between man and woman, Grandpa said before pulling a George-Bush and glossing over his interest in a 'legal contract' to aid in 'insurance and other areas.'”

“On today’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, the lesbian talk show host talked with Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain about their views on same-sex marriage and her plans to marry her partner, actress Portia de Rossi, this summer.

“I’m obviously excited and to me this is only fair and only natural,” Ellen said.

McCain said “people should be able to enter into legal agreements, and I think that that is something that we should encourage, particularly in the case of insurance and other areas, decisions that have to be made. I just believe in the unique status of marriage between man and woman. And I know that we have a respectful disagreement on that issue.””
