Ellen set to say 'I do'
US chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres is to marry her girlfriend, actress Portia de Rossi, website TMZ.com has reported.
DeGeneres, 50, made the annoucement during a taping of her show, which airs here on Five US, the day the California Supreme Court backed gay marriage.
De Rossi, 35, is best known for her role as Nell Porter in Ally McBeal. DeGeneres came out as a lesbian in 1997 and shortly after her character in self-titled sitcom Ellen did the same.
