There are a lot of marriage announcements that when they are spread around Hollywood, people are nothing less than shocked. However there was an engagement announcement on Thursday that I think shocked everyone. Ellen DeGeneres made the announcement from the stage of her own show this past week that she will be getting married to Portia de Rossi. From TMZ,

“Well, she’s gone and done it. Ellen’s gonna get hitched.

A spy in the audience of this afternoon’s taping of the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” tells us that after Ellen mentioned today’s California Supreme Court ruling striking down the state’s ban on gay marriage, she surprised everyone and announced that she was going to tie the knot with longtime girlfriend, actress Portia de Rossi.

Portia was in the crowd and after she made the announcement, the studio audience went wild, giving the two a huge standing O.”

I don’t think that it’s because this is a marriage for two women that makes it shocking. It’s just that it’s Ellen. She’s extremely funny and she just has never portrayed herself to ever be all that worried about things like marriage and family. I am very happy about these pending nuptials though. It’s great to see that laws are being changed to fit with today’s society and that people are welcoming all couples to share and enjoy the love they have for each other!

Ashlee Simspon was on the Ellen DeGeneres show the other day, and still refuses to go either way on being pregnant. Even though, Ellen, known for her straightforward approach to celebrity interviews, asked her right upfront whether or not she was knocked up, Ashlee was mum. Well, not “mum” –you know what I mean. From InTouch:

“If you want to keep a secret, tell Ashlee Simpson! The engaged and presumably pregnant singer outfoxed Ellen DeGeneres on the host’s own talk show by sidestepping Ellen’s direct question, “Are you or are you not pregnant?” Ashlee replied, “Well, that has been going on for quite a while. That is something that I choose to personally not discuss.” The still skinny singer then stood up and asked the audience, “Do I look like I had 10 cheeseburgers or something? Because I don’t think I do!” She then promised Ellen that if she really is pregnant, she won’t pull a Jennifer Lopez or a Christina Aguilera by not confirming the pregnancy until it was blatantly obvious. “I swear,” said Ashlee. “I promise you that.”"

Am I the only one who thinks this magazine is giving Ashlee’s “outfox”ing way too much credit? Is this what thing have come to? Simpson didn’t do anything all that clever. She just refused to answer a question in a colorful way. I think, deep down, Ashlee Simpson doesn’t know if she’s pregnant or not either.

It seems as though the newest trend for celebrities is to have babies and it’s not going to die down anytime soon. Blogs and magazines everywhere are still covered with “Is she or isn’t she?” questions and more stars are starting to announce the news while they walk around flashing their bumps. Here are the latest stories on those that are soon to be new parents!

Eric Mabius, Ugly Betty star and his wife, Ivy Sherman are expecting a little brother or sister for their first son, Maxfield Elliott, who is one. They have been trying for some time and Sherman was reportedly quite upset that she had gotten pregnant before the writer’s strike ended.

The Departed star, Mark Wahlberg and his fiancee, Rhea Durham are expecting another baby as well. The pair already has two children, Ella Rae who is 4 and Michael who is 2. The baby is expected sometime in the fall.

And although Victoria Beckham isn’t pregnant yet, she may be showing off a bump soon enough as husband David Beckham recently announced in People that they were ready to have more. The Beckham’s already have three children: Brooklyn who is 8, Romeo who is 5, and Cruz who is 3.

And rumors continue to fly regarding whether or not Ashlee Simpson is pregnant. Ellen DeGeneres had Simpson on her show recently and came right out and asked the question that everyone’s been dying to know the answer to. Simpson once again skirted around the question, making me think that she definitely is pregnant although her new fiance Pete Wentz continues to deny it.

Not my idea of romance really, although it would be nice if I could drag my boyfriend in to watch some kids’ movies with me. Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford got all cute, and sweet while watching performing little men. Bizarre, but hey, you can’t knock other people’s fetishes, I suppose. From People:

“Happy Anniversary, Carrie and Chace! Okay, okay, it wasn’t actually their anniversary. But Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford, who have been dating since October, certainly looked every bit the happy couple as they laughed and danced at Marquee nightclub’s 4th Anniversary Party in NYC Thursday night.

The 22-year-old Gossip Girl star – who recently squirmed uncomfortably when Ellen DeGeneres flashed a picture of the couple – sipped bottles of Bud Light while cozying up with Underwood in a middle banquette.

At one point, the 24-year-old American Idol champ, wearing a jewel-embellished blue dress and knee-covering black boots, slipped onto the dance floor with her beau, throwing her arms around his neck as they danced suggestively.

The twosome then headed back to their table to watch the floor show, provided by performers in Oompa-Loompa costumes. They stayed there chatting until almost 2 a.m., when they headed out of the club together.

Also in the house for Marquee’s big night? Jay-Z, Usher and Jermaine Dupri.”

Hmm… A touch of homophobia there Chace? Ellen DeGeneres is pretty creepy. I had an irrational fear of watching Ellen for years, until I finally got over it. Chase and Carrie make a darling couple, although, I don’t think it’s going to be a lifelong thing. Carrie seems a lot more vivacious than Chase; more hip to paps and publicity, while Chase seems a little more internally focused.

According to the local news in Las Vegas, the Porn Princess, Pam Anderson, and… the Porn Pauper, Rick Salomon, applied for a marriage license the other day. The reason I’m making this update, is because you know… Pam screws around; a lot. She could be saying she’s engaged to the man in the moon, but rarely do we ever hear anything else about these guys. But this time it might mean serious nuptials, ladies and gentlemen. From People:

“Former “Baywatch” beauty Pamela Anderson and beau Rick Salomon applied for a marriage license yesterday, according to KVBC in Las Vegas. Here we go down the aisle again!

Sources tell TMZ that the couple could wed as early as today at the infamous “Little White Wedding Chapel.” Earlier this month, Anderson, 40, told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that she was engaged. Salomon, 38, is best known for producing and co-starring in Paris Hilton’s sex tape “One Night In Paris,” and was previously married to “90210″ actress and “Charmed” vixen Shannen Doherty. Miss Anderson is a mother of two and was most recently married to Kid Rock … for three months.”

I think that Rick is going to be a great new addition to the string of husbands for Pam Anderson; and she’ll make another good notch in his headboard as well. Especially if he doesn’t mind the risk of catching a special something from the new love of his life.

Pamela Anderson is engaged… again. And this time, the man with dubious luck isn’t a bad-boy rocker, he’s a bad-boy poker player!

According to Pam, she was playing poker in her hotel suite one evening with Rick Soloman, the very same Rick Soloman who achieved fame and notoriety after making an incredible sum off of his sex tape romp with Paris Hilton. Pam was losing, and losing badly (is anyone surprised?), when Soloman offered to “clear” her debt if she made out with him.

The economical arrangement blossomed into love, and now the pair are engaged. Pam was a giddy, gushing schoolgirl on the Ellen DeGeneres Show:

“It’s so romantic. It’s romance. I was playing poker one night in my room and I was down about 125,000 pounds. He said if I made with him I could clear the … thing.

And I ended up paying off my poker debt. And then I feel in love and now we’re engaged.”

Pam is dating Paris Hilton’s leftovers? Something is seriously wrong with the world when Paris, at nearly half Pam’s age, is ahead of her in the man-lunch-line.

In other Pam news, she’s staying out of the antics of her two former flames, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. When asked about their recent brawl at the MTV Video Music Awards, she said exactly that: “I’m staying out of it.”
