It seems the Prop 8 folks have gotten to Portia de Rossi. Ellen DeGeneres’ wife has rethought her position on gay marriage and decided to do some apologizing on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show. Check it out above!

Portia de Rossi was on wife Ellen Degeneres’ show yesterday, the seven month anniversary of their wedding, which, you know, might be ruled as illegal, thanks to Prop 8. Very cute interview, check it out!

No worries, Portia, it was all part of her gift bag for doing your wifey’s daytime talk show.  But Hayden was so excited about the cotton undies she flashed Ellen….and America!  See, stars are just like us. They love dolphins and granny panties too! Screen grab, after the jump…  [Egotastic]

“My heart just feels a little bit different, softer and somehow more in love. I don’t know how. But it just feels really romantic and lovely.”—Ellen DeGeneres [AP via People]

Does this seem like a couple that should have ever NOT had the same right to get married as Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, Larry King and his bazillion wives, or any other couple in the universe for that matter?

Lesbianism is such a hot topic, some celebs even seem to be capitalizing on the media coming out party.  While faux-mo’s make us want to barf, in general, the mainstreaming of what was once considered counterculture is exciting. Now heteros can finally play Indigo Girls’ records in public without being judged!  But who are the trailblazing scissor sisters bridging their community? Since everyone’s personalities are a mixture of nurture and nature, here are the basic types of lesbians from which you can make-up the Venn diagram of lesbian society.

The Sophisticate Usually an artist or academic, this well read member of the intelligentsia is socially conscious without smelling like patchouli. An important public person, she’s a wise, loving role model. Example: Melissa Etheridge

A few photos from the upcoming issue of People, featuring newly married Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s personal wedding album are online at People.com.

Sure, there are plenty of stories in the news about women stabbing their husbands and the like, but there are also ladies who are doing spectacular things these days, especially right now with the Olympics going on. Below, ten fabulous females who make us proud.

Dara Torres
The oldest Olympic swimming medalist ever at 41, Dara Torres completed her fifth Olympic games this weekend with two silver medals, just missing a gold in the 50-meter freestyle. Not only did she prove that women can be competitive even as they get older (her age was more than the gold-and bronze-medal winners combined), but she’s also the ultimate working mother, with a two-year-old daughter named Tessa.

One last thing on the subject of Ellen Degeneres and her upcoming wedding to girlfriend Portia de Rossi. The talk show host had Republican Presidential hopeful, John McCain, on her show last week and asked him straight up about his views on gay marriage (he’s against gay marriage as well as civil unions). It was a civil discussion, handled well by both, but we really give Ellen a hand for asking the tough questions. Maybe she should host a debate during the election!

I didn’t cry when I got engaged (in fairness, I was so surprised and excited, I just couldn’t stop laughing), but I got a little teary when Ellen Degeneres announced her plans to marry Portia de Rossi. It’s about time!

Rumor of the Day: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi may be headed to Breakupsville. This is a devastating thought for a multitude of reasons.

1) They are kind of the lesbian version of Brad and Angelina. Maybe it’s just us, but Portia is all lush and Botticelli-esque, while Ellen has a really sexy masculinity to her. Our hetero-ness is tested by them.
2) No fair! Ellen wasted all those years with crazy-eyes-killer Anne Heche/Celestia and the world was so pleased when she found someone equally as adoring of her as Portia. She can’t take another breakup.
3) Umm, Portia, Arrested Development was canceled. You don’t have a career. Life isn’t going to get better than being Ellen’s stay-at-home wifey.

UPDATE: It’s not true! Praise Sappho! [DListed]
