Portia de Rossi is gearing up for another season of her TV series Better Off Ted, but she’s also ready to watch her girlfriend, Ellen Degeneres, judge the new season of American Idol.
Degeneres was chosen by the producers to replace Paula Abdul, who tendered her resignation via Twitter after contract negotiations stalled.
Rossi admits neither Degeneres or she has been to a live broadcast of the reality competition, but they’re both eager to check it out.
The actress credits So You Think You Can Dance producers (the same ones who produce American Idol), for giving Degeneres the gig after the talk show host guest judged the dancing competition during season five.

Better Off Ted returns for a second season December 8th, 2009 on ABC.

I know it’s hard for you people on gossip sites to grasp, but Ellen and Portia are legally married and have been for over a year! Ellen is not Portia’s girlfriend or partner or anything else you want to call her, she’s her WIFE!!!!

How about interviewing De Rossi about her own show and not Ellen. She is way prettier and far more talented!
