Reuters - Portia de Rossi ("Arrested Development") will co-star in a comedy pilot for ABC.
Actress Portia De Rossi has signed up to pay tribute to a murdered homosexual in a new public service announcement TV ad, just days after her partner Ellen DeGeneres tearfully honored the gay teen.


Ellen DeGeneres spoke out on her show about the recent murder of a gay teenager, and now, a slew of stars including DeGeneres' girlfriend, Portia de Rossi, are stepping up to take part in a PSA to combat hate crimes. Logo, the gay television network, debuted the 60-second spot earlier today.

"Imagine if wearing makeup and a dress could get you killed," de Rossi says in the ad. "For 15-year-old Lawrence King, that's just what happened."

T.R. Knight, who also appears, says, "If you think gay teens like Lawrence King are safe in our schools, you're wrong."

King was shot in the head at his Oxnard, California, junior high school on Feb. 12. Fellow classmate Brandon McInerney, 14, has been charged with the killing. Days before he was murdered, King had apparently asked McInerney to be his valentine.

I am almost in too abject a state of denial to report this….but today….reports that Ellen Degeneres and girlfriend of three years Portia de Rossi have broken up are incessant.   Speculation began when Ellen broke down on her show ostensibly over the whole Iggy dog debacle. Insiders say that Ellen, who was only mildly upset about the controversial pup, sobbed uncontrollably because her homelife is slowly, but surely, falling apart.   A source says that Portia is looking to upgrade: “When it comes down to it, [Portia] wants to be with someone younger ad hotter. She wants out, but Ellen has been begging her to stay. Portia is really everything in this world to...
