Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres Partner for ABC Sitcom Pilot
Partners in life and business, Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres, are teaming up for a project that DeGeneres is executive producing and that will star de Rossi, according to Entertainment Weekly.
ABC has ordered a pilot of The Smart One, about a “brilliant and successful woman who begrudgingly goes to work for her less-brainy but more popular sister – a former beauty queen, weather girl and now big-city Mayor,” according to the show’s logline released on EW.
De Rossi and DeGeneres are keeping busy separately and together with announcements earlier this week that DeGeneres would be the new spokeswoman for JcPenney and that de Rossi would reprise her role as the hilariously self-absorbed Lindsay Bluth for a new season of Arrested Development that will air on Netflix.
Additionally, the couple is currently in the process of opening a vegan eatery in Los Angeles’ Studio City, area with business partner, Pretenders front woman, Chrissie Hynde, LAist has reported.

Bitter Mr.Ed
Dear Mr. Ed, I think the problem is that you're just jealous of Ellen, I'm sure you would do anything to be in her shoes, lets see she is beyond successful. You know no matter what you do in life you can never even come close to that type of success. And with her success comes money the kind of money you can only wish to have...but never will. And of course her gorgeous wife, that only in your dreams you can even pretend to be with someone as beautiful as her. So yea, I get it....Ellen makes you feel like less of a man. -LIFE IS CHANGE. GROWTH IS OPTIONAL. CHOOSE WISELY.
Human Race
Gay or Straight-Human is still Human, we all still bleed the same. I agree with RL on Ellen being one of the most selfless people in this day and age. Who cares who she lays next to everynight? That is no one's business but her own. If the human race would just learn to be civil and mind thier own business, maybe you Mr Ed wouldn't mind living in the same time as Ellen. And for King Aurthur, you are living in a gay civilization, so suit up with the barbarians, or get the hell off the ship!
Superior couple
The hottest dyke couple on the planet! I love them both, brains and beauty.
You got that right.
You got that right.
People waste a lot of time
People waste a lot of time thinking others are saints. Ask Ann Heche about it.
Gay privilege is rampant
Gay privilege is rampant everywhere in America, the same thing happened to Rome and other civilizations. The reason is, there comes a tipping point when the straight people say, I am not going to defend this nonscense anymore, and the barberians destroy everything. The proof offered is there has never been a gay civilization that lasts.
Ego
Obviously You have an issue with being important. Dont take yourself so seriously gay is not a race you idiot. The human race gay or straight has done quite well destroying itself. Weve been here since the beginning of time we arent going anywhere. Unless you try what was done to the Jews or Blacks and see how successful that was. Get over yourself the only king you are is in your own mind.
No wonder. They can't
No wonder. They can't reproduce.
When my people rule the
When my people rule the world, we will take no prisoners! Everyone will have to convert to homosexuality and prove it by saluting rainbow flags in our nation's schools. King Arthur has now informed the Straights of our secret mission- we must now find him and cover him with rainbows and purple triangles while forcing him to watch clips of the Ellen show.
I really don't look good in
I really don't look good in rainbow colors. Is it alright if I just be nice and stick to my jeans and t-shirts? I promise not to make fun of anyone in their tye-dyes.
Gay people
200% agreed
King arthur...Gay privilege?
King arthur...Gay privilege? LOL Yeah, ok. Why the heck are you even on this site if you hate us barberians so much? As for the topic...I think I must be the only lesbian who really doesn't care too much for this couple. Please don't take away my rainbow flag :(
Ellen and Portia
The two of you are a model of a successful couple in today's world without being greedy twits! I applaud you and wish you much success in your new venture. (Hey Portia... we have a beautiful porcelain belgian d'uccle we named after you... purdiest little girl in our flock).
Ellen and such
Hey, Ellen... I know the push up contest was all in fun, but I also know you have a competative spirit, and I'm just saying, your push ups were in proper form and the First Lady... well, not so much. I think a rematch is in order. ;)
I noticed the same thing.
I noticed the same thing.

Vegan eatery?? Looks like they don't like any kind of meat do they??

Ellen
I so wish I did not live it the same time in history as Ellen DeGeneres. That's all I would like to say.

Then jump off a cliff and
Then jump off a cliff and hope you come back some other time. Asshole.
Mr. Ed
Yeah then maybe you would be a better speller. Go away and suck your thumb in the corner before you catch the gay disease. Ellen is number one on my list she gives everything and expects nothing. She is world class person who helps others, human or animal whenever she can. She is the most selfless person I have ever know in my 45 years on this planet. Name just one straight person who has done as much for humanity than she has. Don't take too long to answer wouldn't want your brain to catch fire.
Oprah.
Oprah.
Ellen
Dear Mr.Ed -I so wish I could help you- and send you back in time 100 years.
