According to Us Weekly, the pair are holding an intimate ceremony in California. Only close friends and family have been invited.

DeGeneres announced that she would be getting married while filming her US TV show. She revealed the news shortly after California’s Supreme Court ruled that same sex couples have the right to marry.

“It’s something that we’ve wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited,” said the 50-year-old.

It was rumored, that Ellen asked Oprah to officiate the ceremony.

“Oprah is definitely invited to the wedding, but Ellen wants her to play a bigger role,” the tabloid insider squeals. “Ellen wants her to be the minister.”

Ellen and Portia began dating in December 2004.

Simon Cowell may seems to be known for his notorious insults and sarcasm but the American Idol judge does have a kind inner heart.

Cowell who was a guest on Oprah’s talk show, surprised a family struggling to take care of their cancer stricken 3-year-old daughter by paying off their mortgage.

The couple, Randy and Amy Stoen, were struggling daily in order to travel more than 100 miles from their home each day so their daughter could receive treatment. The young girl, Madeline, is struggling with a life-threatening cancer.

Cowell decided to help the couple pay off their $162,000 mortgage to ease their burden.

The wicked judge then said, “I never knew that doing good could feel so good.”

Oprah Campaigns For Obama

Oprah Winfrey is not only endorsing for Barrack Obama’s presidential bid but shes also campaigning for him on the street!

It marks the first time in her life that Oprah is breaking tradition and endorsing a candidate for president.

Stars may increase attention and popularity of a candidate but it doesn’t work all the time. Remember Al Gore? Just about every star in Hollywood and half the America backed Gore and all it got him was an Oscar, a Nobel Peace Prize and a role on 30 Rock but not the work in the Oval Office.

Will Oprah boost or hurt Obama?
