Ellen DeGeneres Has Found That One True Love In Portia de Rossi

In December's issue of O: The Oprah Magazine, Ellen DeGeneres talks about her wife, Portia de Rossi, and her upcoming gig on American Idol.

On Portia:

"She is so beautiful and so smart and so funny," DeGeneres gushes.

She is very content with the state of things in their relationship.

"I have that sense of 'I'm done now.' I'm settled," she says. "I know that part of my life is taken care of. I've got love. I've got someone who will be with me till the day I die."

Wow, that's a powerful statement to make, especially in Hollywood where relationships don't last very long. I'm really cheering these two on, they seem so genuinely happy together.

Ellen said that the American Idol offer really shocked her.

"They came to me, and it was a total surprise," she explains. "I like to try new things because I get bored so easily. And I like the show, so I thought it was a great idea."

Are you looking forward to Ellen being on American Idol? I think it will certainly mean more humor - crossing my fingers.
