Reality mom Kate Gosselin openly talked about being in the spotlight, divorce, the kids and dating on the ‘Ellen DeGeneres Show‘ on Wednesday (October 28) – watch video below. The mother-of-eight blames the media and some people who talk too much (Jon Gosselin!) for putting their family in this horrible and very public dispute.

Kate slams on Jon, saying, “Well, I think certain events take place that make us sitting ducks. That makes us easy targets. Certain ones of us speak a lot; others of us prefer to keep our mouths shut.” Kate will not start dating anytime soon because of the public scrutiny but she is only human it might happen!

Former American Idol judge Paula Adbul released a statement to address the official news that talk show host Ellen DeGeneres would replace her as the new fourth judge in the famous talent show.

Paula said, “AMERICAN IDOL is a fantastic show that offers an invaluable platform to young talent. Ellen DeGeneres is wildly funny and talented in her own right. I wish her and the show only the best of luck.”
Paula later tweeted, “I think Ellen will b a gr8 judge on Idol. She is wildly funny, talented and I wish her the best of luck!”

Paula seems to be taking the news pretty well, who would have thought!?! I was totally waiting for a catfight. Ellen was clearly worried about Paula’s reaction when interviewed by Ryan Seacrest, saying,  “I hope Paula is okay with it. I don’t want anybody to think I took Paula’s job away. I feel like she was gone and then everybody was looking for somebody else, then I stepped in.”

Earlier tonight we announced that Ellen DeGeneres will be replacing Paula Abdul as the 4th judge on American Idol.  Feedback on that news has been mixed to say the least.  So what do you think of the selection: Match made in heaven or the beginning of the end of Idol?

And the fourth American Idol judge is going to be…Ellen DeGeneres. I am still hoping this will turn out to be false, but Ellen made the announcement at the taping of her talk show today. See the video above.

I love Ellen as much as the next person, but what a bad casting choice here. I was not the biggest Paula Abdul fan, but I am already missing her. The two most recent additions to Idol, Ellen and Kara DioGuardi, have been bad calls in my opinion.

So as it stands now, the four judges for next year will be Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi, and Ellen DeGeneres.

Actress Portia de Rossi and comedian Ellen DeGeneres are getting married on Saturday according to US Weekly.

The pair are planning a small, intimate ceremony with only a few close friends and family.

Following the California Supreme Court’s monumental ruling that same sex couple’s have the “right to marry,” DeGeneres announced she planned to wed her longtime girlfriend on a taping of her show in May.

“It’s something that we’ve wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited,” DeGeneres, 50, gushed.

The couple has been planning their nuptials for the past couple of months. They first announced their intention to get married back in May.

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres says that her and her partner Portia de Rossi have set a wedding date and are planning their upcoming nuptials according to OK! Magazine.

“Yes, we have set a wedding date,” she confessed. “Portia has a ring. It’s a Neil Lane ring.”

Ellen, who also revealed she plans to fly Portia’s mom in from Australia for the ceremony, was eager to talk about her upcoming nuptials admitting that , “planning a wedding is stressful.”

She also joked about the size of the guest list, joking that her many Emmys “will be on top of the cake,” and that the wedding is now so big “my gardener is invited.”

Portia is an actress who is best known for her most recent work on Nip/Tuck along with Arrested Development and Ally McBeal.

DeGeneres and Portia announced their intention to wed last month when gay marriage in California became legal.

Actress Portia de Rossi and comedian Ellen Degeneres are set to wed now that the California Supreme Court has overturned the gay marriage ban in Cali. Ellen made the announcement on her talk show yesterday to a cheering audience.

DeGeneres made the announcement Thursday, according to the Associated Press and TMZ (which first reported the story). The news came hot on the heels of a judicial ruling that struck down California’s laws against gay marriage.

De Rossi, 35, was reportedly in the studio when DeGeneres – who just celebrated her 50th birthday – made the announcement before a cheering audience. (The episode is scheduled to air Friday.)

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.

This is going to be a long battle within the state of California. Those against gay marriage say they have enough signatures to get the issue put back on the ballot for voters to vote for an amendment to the constitution.
