When newlyweds Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were cornered yesterday on their way to lunch by paps, Portia was asked what she thought of married life.

Spoken like a true newlywed she said, “amazing.” Well, unless you are Britney Spears, Elizabeth Taylor, or met a stripper named Fiona at the Crazy Horse in Vegas who said she would treat you really well until she found out you were broke, almost every newlywed is going to say that. You just got married two days ago. Of course you are going to say that. Hell, you are in the middle of opening presents or on your honeymoon so of course you love it. The crap doesn’t start until you both have to go back to work, realize you never see each other and that your office spouse has better breath and makes better coffee.

Plus, what idiot is going to be standing in front of their spouse, and say, “Awful. Crappy. I wish I had never married. I thought the sex would be better. I thought there would be sex. I had no idea that men had that problem. For some reason I thought it would be bigger. Are you not supposed to be able to feel it?” OK, well there are some idiots who would do that but not Portia. So, of course it is amazing. Plus, People just came out with the pretty pictures so it would be a tad uncouth to take their dough while at the same time getting into an argument with your new spouse for the world to see.

Ellen DeGeneres gave Portia de Rossi a glittering ring with pink diamonds for their upcoming wedding that will air in part on DeGeneres’s talk show.

“Yes, we have set a wedding date,” said DeGeneres, who walked the red carpet with de Rossi at Friday night’s 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

De Rossi wore a green satin Lanvin gown and a Neil Lane ring on her wedding finger. The ring was a marquis cut diamond set with pink diamonds.

DeGeneres, 50, who won an Emmy for outstanding talk-show host for the fourth year in a row, announced her plans to wed longtime girlfriend de Rossi, on her show back in May, shortly after California’s Supreme Court ruled the previous ban on gay marriages as unconstitutional.

The two stars are in the midst of preparations for what DeGeneres calls “the dream wedding.”

“Planning a wedding is very stressful,” says DeGeneres. “It is crazy. My gardener is now invited.”

The comedienne remained tight-lipped on the major details of her upcoming nuptials to de Rossi, 35, only revealing that “incredible people” would be performing, and that she would air part of the ceremony on her show.

But there are no signs of any pre-wedding jitters for DeGeneres.

“I can’t wait to be married. I feel like it is long overdue,” she said. “And I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous like we all don’t have the same rights.”

Ellen DeGeneres plans to wed longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi, she announced during a taping of her show Thursday.

In the episode, airing Friday (the news was first reported by TMZ), DeGeneres revealed the big news and told the crowd, “I’m very excited.” The announcement immediately followed the news that California’s Supreme Court struck down a law banning gay marriage.

De Rossi, 35, was reportedly in the studio when DeGeneres – who just celebrated her 50th birthday – broke the news.

In what’s sure to be a controversial decision, the California’s Supreme Court ruled that people have a fundamental “right to marry” the partner of their choosing – therefore the previous ban on gay marriage was ruled unconstitutional.

The two stars began dating in December 2004, as de Rossi was appearing on the FOX sitcom Arrested Development.

One key to their happiness, DeGeneres said last year, is that they learn from one another. “She’s taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I’ve taught her,” said the TV host. “We’ve both changed and grown, and we just feel like, ‘Oh, okay, this is completion.’ “

DESPITE the doggie drama surrounding Iggy, the cute pup Ellen DeGeneres adopted then gave away last October, the talk queen has rebounded. She’s been named one of the best on TV when it comes to raising awareness of animal issues by Beverly Kaskey, senior director of the Hollywood branch of the Humane Society. “Ellen took on the cruelty of hunting, cooking lobsters and even defended small insects,” Kaskey explained to the Fancast Web site. Lisa Simpson, of “The Simpsons” also got props for becoming a vegetarian in one episode. “Lisa makes the connection between the lamb chops on her plate and the lamb she had befriended earlier and refuses to eat her dinner,” said Kaskey. And on the negative side, “Survivor” is ripped for one episode in which contestants “beheaded a rooster and stabbed to death a squealing pig. The frenzy ended with one contestant smearing blood on his face.”

That kid has come such a long way to get to where he is.”He said, ‘Mom, you know I used to be a lot like Dory.’ I literally pulled over and looked and turned around and I started crying, because of what he meant.”He said, ‘Dory had a really hard time remembering her words and I couldn’t remember them…’ We sat on the side of the road for about 15 minutes while I cried.”He said, ‘I’m not like Dory anymore, I can remember.’” DeGeneres was touched by the story, telling her guest, “I’m gonna cry right now… That’s incredible.” DeGeneres then offered to call McCarthy’s son as his favorite cartoon character.
