INSIDE HOLLYWOOD, CA - A spokesperson for Portia de Rossi, longtime partner and newly named fiancée of television personality Ellen DeGeneres, has said plans for their upcoming wedding have been postponed indefinitely. The wedding, announced shortly after the California Supreme Court lifted the state's ban on gay marriage, was to take place next month. Sources say, among other things, there were heated arguments between the couple over who would wear the white dress.
"Portia had always assumed that she would be wearing the dress." said the spokesperson, who spoke with us on the condition of anonymity. "But Ellen thinks she always has to be the center of attention."
Both women rejected the idea of a double dress wedding, as each had always wanted a strictly traditional ceremony. The double dress wedding has also been socially shunned and considered passé since the gay wedding rush in San Francisco two years ago.
Wedding trouble may also be brewing for actor George Takei and longtime partner Brad Altman. Altman reportedly bristled at the idea of an authentic Klingon gay wedding, and balked at Takei's plans to invite several thousand 'trekkies' to the ceremony. Altman was seen storming out of a Beverly Hills boutique following a heated discussion, in which Takei was reportedly doused with a champagne coolie.
Neither DeGeneres nor Takei could be reached for comment.
