Only the Magic of Lez Nuptials Can Destroy the Insipid Mayer-Aniston Story

Sigh ... Jennifer Aniston's break-up with sappy singer John Mayer continues to hog cover space this week. But after John's public rant against the weeklies, and because we think it's all pretty gross, we're imposing a moratorium on those two for the time being.

Instead, let's celebrate lady lovers Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres, who tied the knot last Saturday in matching cream and plush Zac Posen duds and gave all the pretty pics and shiny quotes to People magazine. We can't help but be charmed by these crazy kids (though at the half-century mark calling Ms. DeGeneres a kid might be pushing it, and at 35 Portia ain't no spring femme herself), who got engaged last May before the ink was even dry on the California Supreme Court's decision that a previous ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional.

Though the lovely lezzers had initially planned a ginormous shindig, they opted instead for 20 guests in the living room of their $29 million/$34 million Beverly Hills mansion (price varies depending on if you read Star or Us). People reports that among the guests subjected to vegan cuisine and hand-written vows were both bride mamas—Betty DeGeneres and Margaret Rogers—and non-John Mayer sappy singer Joshua Radin, who serenaded the gals.

"It feels different," Ellen tells People. "I didn't think it would because I already had the commitment.... But until you're married, you just don't know. It feels Wonderful."

Ahh, given the right to wed less than six months ago, and already Ellen has become a smug married, making the sad singletons of the world feel bad that they will never know the wonders of marital bliss.

Star settles for the unofficial fuzzy photos of E & P huggin' and lovin' and incorporating the Maltese-poodle mix pooch in the ceremony. And despite the interview in People, where the couple claims that starting a family isn't in the immediate future, Team AMI says that babes are on the way.

And Life & Style scores a cute quote from queer peer, actor T. R. Knight. When the Bauer Bunch cornered Knight at Avalon and asked if he had any plans to marry his comedian boy toy, Mark Cornelsen, the Grey's Anatomy guy said, "Not right now, but I'm happy that you can ask that question."

Us, too.

Hooray! Girl-girl is finally OK. It's exciting to see stars bold enough to talk about their alternative relationships in public. Fans of Ellen will love the dangerous, true girl-girl-girl romance written about by a Harvard Grad and real Romanian dancers in:
