ELLEN DEGENERES AND PORTIA DE ROSSI ARE OPENING A VEGAN RESTAURANT

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi are looking for real estate in Montecito, California. But this time they don’t want a house to flip, they’re looking for a location to open up a vegan restaurant. Although they still have a place in Los Angeles, the two women spend most of their time in Montecito, where they call Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle their neighbors. The moneyed neighborhood has some very high-end restaurants, but Portia and Ellen are NOT thrilled with the vegan options. They’re working with a private chef and hope to partner up and open up a place on Coast Village Road later this year.

ELLEN DEGENERES AND PORTIA: AUSTRALIA IS BECKONING!

Is Ellen DeGeneres gearing up to say see ya to the USA, and G’day mate to Australia? Ellen and her wife Portia De Rossi just listed their Montecito, California estate for $46.5 million and according to a friend, the reason is because they are now seriously thinking of relocating (at least for the majority of the time) to Portia’s homeland. There are  a few reasons for the move – first of all, Portia wants to be closer to her family and childhood friends. Ellen’s career is all but over, so she has no work reason to stick around, and they are both fed up with the politics of the USA. Their plan is to buy a smaller place in California and a large compound/working farm in Australia (Portia loves horses) and grow old together down under. We predict they will be flipping Australian houses also…

NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD: ELLEN DEGENERES AND PORTIA DE ROSSI

They got married over nine years ago and still act like newlyweds. Ellen and Portia are happily shopping in West Hollywood, but they had a close call a few days ago. They recently bought a beachfront house in Carpenteria, California, and on Monday the raging fires came so close they had to evacuate their cats and dogs – and move into another one of their homes. Luckily, their house was spared so they have a lot to celebrate…

THANK YOU PORTIA DE ROSSI, FOR EXPOSING STEVEN SEAGAL!

Actually it was the egomaniacal actor who exposed HIMSELF. Today Portia de Rossi tweeted about an incident that happened when she was a young actress and auditioned for a Steven Seagal movie. She recalled that he told her it was important for him to have “chemistry” with his leading ladies and he proceeded to “unzip his leather pants” and expose himself to her! Oops! No chemistry! She got out of there fast, and was disappointed when she told her agent what happened and he was “unfazed.”

PORTIA DE ROSSI WAS ONCE THE OBJECT OF RUSSELL CROWE’S AFFECTION – AGAINST HER WILL

Interesting that Portia de Rossi admitted that she didn’t WANT to be a lesbian. We remember ten or twelve years ago when the Ally McBeal star lived in West Hollywood and she used to literally sneak around her apartment building with girls. Only in the shadows. Men were always attracted to her and she made up all kinds of stories to deflect them. Russell Crowe desperately wanted to date her and wouldn’t leave her alone. He couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t give him a chance. She seems a lot calmer and happier since she settled down with Ellen DeGeneres.

ELLEN AND PORTIA’S DOGS ARE VEGAN TOO

Not only are Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi both vegans, but they have cats and a dogs at home that are vegans also. Feeding themselves is not difficult, especially since they are opening a vegan restaurant in the San Fernando Valley on Ventura Blvd. Finding appropriate pet food with no animal byproducts is not as easy. So now Ellen and Portia are looking into coming out with a complete line of vegan pet food.

PORTIA SAYS ELLEN IS WAY TOO AMBITIOUS – SHE WANTS OPRAH’S CROWN

Ellen DeGeneres is obsessed with the idea of becoming the #1 talk show host now that Oprah is off the air. Ellen’s wife Portia de Rossi, however is not so thrilled with Ellen’s ambition. Besides working on her daily show, Ellen constantly has other projects that take up most of her spare time. She has so many work commitments that Portia feels left out – they can rarely even plan a vacation together. Portia would LOVE it if Ellen would leave the show when her contract is up and semi-retire, but it’s doubtful that Ellen can resist the lure of becoming the new Oprah.

ELLEN’S WIFE PORTIA DE ROSSI IS THRILLED TO BE AN AMERICAN

Ellen DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi, 38, is now an American citizen. Portia, who was born Amanda Lee Rogers in Australia, has been acting in this country for 16 years. A spy reported to us that Portia was at a swearing in ceremony this week at the courthouse on Spring Street in front of a judge. Naturally she stood out in the crowd – “She looked beautiful in a black dress and pumps and a huge ring.” She was friendly and posed for photos with other new citizens. When someone congratulated her on her naturalization, she quipped “Thank you – but it didn’t happen because of my marriage!” (And it probably SHOULD have!)

ELLEN DEGENERES LIVES BETTER THAN KINGS AND PRESIDENTS

It’s hard to imagine, but Ellen DeGeneres lives in almost unbelievable luxury. But she’s fickle – after only four years of perfecting her surroundings, she has put her Beverly Hills house on the market for 60 million dollars. Ellen bought the 12,000 square foot main house in 2007 for 29 million dollars, and it seems to have EVERY luxury imaginable. In 2008 she paid 8.5 million for the house that shared her driveway and promptly bulldozed it to expand her views. That same year she bought another neighboring house for 5 million, and a month later she bought a fourth house for 5.5 million that overlooked her pool area “for privacy” so Portia can sunbathe topless. Did Ellen FINALLY have her “dream house?” Apparently not. She put the main house up for sale for 49 million and the whole compound for 60 million. A bargain.
