Roseanne who? (I'm being sarcastic, so please don't post her imdb)

She must have a ghost writer or something. Born and raised in the US, why would she spell paychecks like a Canadian?

Her comments were nasty and uncalled for, but I will still watch the old Roseanne shows. Can't help it, I think the show is hysterical.

These days, it is kinda -- who's Roseanne? I have liked her on and off in the past. How much do you hear from and about her these days? I think the comments were mostly to get her name in the news.

On a different subject, I am really admiring Christina Applegate right now. She is so forthright and upbeat about her battle with breast cancer.

Loved this excerpt - Speaking on ABC News' "Good Morning America" in her first interview since announcing her diagnosis earlier this month, the "Samantha Who?" star said she had a double mastectomy three weeks ago. She'll undergo reconstructive surgery over the next eight months.

"I'm going to have cute boobs 'til I'm 90, so there's that," she joked in the interview, which aired Tuesday. "I'll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I'll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table."


Go Christina! :-)

Wow, I didn't realize that Christina Applegate had the double. They only said she had breast cancer, but usually, that means there was a lump that was removed and they go through chemo. Somehow, I missed the extent of the surgery. She is so young, but seems really positive about it. Good for her.

I saw her on Good Morning America and she looked great. I consider her an inspiration.

As I understand it her mom and maybe an auntie both had breast cancer, so the mastectomy was a good call.

She has the breast cancer/ovarian cancer gene, too, I believe, so she was really thinking long-term.

Yep, from the article above - she tested positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation linked to breast and ovarian cancer.

I think if it were me I'd have a bunch of eggs harvested and get those ovaries yanked out in the near future. Ovarian cancer is so deathly sneaky.

While Portia's gown is simply glorious... I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed with Ellen's outfit, which seems a bit too casual to me. It's not that she's wearing slacks, which is her signature style, but I'd have preferred her in a tux or something. But her happy smile outshines everything anyways.

I like both outfits.. a tux might be a bit too stereotyped.. she's not trying to be a man, just dressing in her own style, but definitely more dressy than her everyday more tailored look.

I agree Sea! And Ellen's shirt under her vest looks like it match the soft pink of Portia's dress. Very feminine while still being herself.

I thought their outfits really complimented each other, color-wise etc.

Portia's dress was really gorgeous.

I have seen women here joke about "girl crushes" before. Probably the closest I have come to a girl crush is Portia. Ever since her Ally McBeal days, I have just found her stunning and classy and I love watching her. I think she is breathtaking.

I love her dress. She looks like a princess. A sexy princess! I wish her and Ellen the best of luck.

Portia looks absolutely stunning in that beautiful dress. Someone should make a Portia wedding doll! I used to work with a guy (a 30-something attorney) who thought that she had 'the perfect face.'

I think Ellen looks great. Who says that one lesbian has to look like a man. She should be able to look however she wants to look on her wedding day. We just did a lesbian wedding where I work, and they both wore dresses. There's no "right" or "wrong" outfit with these new weddings. To me, it looks like a white tux anyways. They're both brides, so technically they're both usually expected to wear something close to white, so why not?

Too me Portia appears to be the bride in her gown and Ellen the groom. Ellen seems to come across in the male role. It was also Ellen who gave Portia a marquis cut diamond set with pink diamonds as an engagement ring.

Talk of the male/female "role" in a lesbian relationship is exactly what perpetuates the sterotypes. I have not worn a dress since the day I graduated from high school in 1974. I'm not playing any role because of my choice to wear pants, I have just always hated wearing dresses. This is 2008...time to let go of the stereotypes. It is clear that Ellen and Portia each looked wonderful and happy.

Ellen has been very outspoken about her hatred of dresses. She wore only tuxedos when she hosted the oscars.
