Ellen DeGeneres is going to marry Portia de Rossi, her long-time partner. She announced her wedding plans on her show, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” which was taped on May 15, the day the California Supreme Court made same sex marriage legal in California. The program aired on May 16, 2008.

Citing the court’s ruling, DeGeneres said she and girlfriend de Rossi (”Ally McBeal,” “Nip/Tuck”) would be getting married.

De Rossi, 35, who was in the studio, and DeGeneres, 50, were applauded by audience members, the person close to the production said.

DeGeneres has boldly used TV before to make a stand for gay rights.

In 1997, she brought her character on the ABC sitcom “Ellen” out of the closet, making the show the first on prime-time network TV to have an openly gay lead. The move drew cheers from gay civil rights organizations but was condemned by some religious groups.

A month before, DeGeneres had proclaimed from the cover of Time magazine that she was a lesbian.

DeGeneres and the glamorous de Rossi have been a familiar couple at Hollywood events, including the Academy Awards. Previously, DeGeneres had a high-profile relationship with actress Anne Heche.

In a 2005 interview with Allure magazine, the comedian said she hoped she and de Rossi are “together the rest of our lives.”

“I never would have thought my life would have turned out this way,” DeGeneres told the magazine. “To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now.”

Last night, May 14, 2008, Whitney Thompson made history as the first “plus sized” or “full figured” model to win America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 - ANTM Cycle 10. Her publicity blitz has begun. She appeared on Live with Regis & Kelly on May 15, 2008.

“People always say you have to be stick-skinny, emaciated and unhealthy and I’ve kind of stood up for [being full-figured] my whole life,” Thompson told The Post in her first post-victory interview.

“I’m not going to lose 50 pounds - if someone asks me to do that, I’ll go to another [modeling] agency,” she says. “I’ve already heard online from boys and girls all over the world who are dealing with eating disorders.

“They’re thanking me for standing up and saying, ‘I am a plus-size model and I am beautiful.’

“This is what people should look like,” she says, referring to herself, “rather than skin-and-bones, which is disgusting and sends a bad message to people everywhere.”

It’s that outspokenness, along with her obvious self-confidence, that helped Thompson win over Anya Kop in last night’s “Top Model” finale.

Thompson, 20 - from Atlantic Beach, Fla. - says she and “Top Model” host Tyra Banks have more in common than meets the eye.
