Here Come The Brides

Ellen DeGeneres Headed For Wedded Bliss?

According to MSNBC.com columnist Jeannette Walls, comedienne Ellen DeGeneres may have a secret wedding in the works with partner Alexandra Hedison. Ellen’s people deny the rumor, but Walls claimed that a DeGeneres “insider” filled her in on the couple’s plans for summer nuptials. DeGeneres was recently honored at Nickelodeon's 17th Annual Kids' Choice Awards; she received the Favorite Voice Award for an Animated Movie, and Favorite Movie for Finding Nemo.

Perhaps Alanis Morissette Will Perform The Ceremony?

C-250 Still Waiting to Become Law

Egale issued an action alert to encourage supporters to contact the Senate and voice their desire to see the bill adopted. Click here.
