On Monday, Portia is scheduled to appear on Oprah Winfrey and when there she divulged the audience in her ultra-strict eating pattern in the 90s.

“Three hundred calories…a day,” reveals Portia while discussing the struggle that is the focus of her new book, Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain.

“It wasn’t that I was proud of it,” she tells Oprah. “But it was certainly a recognition for my self-control. I definitely had some pretty amazing willpower to get down to 82 pounds. And that’s what I was holding on to. I didn’t think about anything else.”

Do you plan on buying Portia‘s new book?

Portia just took wife Ellen de Generes’ last name, so technically she is Portia de Rossi de Generes…cool, huh? From Popsugar:

The book is called Unbearable Lightness and talks about her constant roller-coaster ride of starving, bingeing and purging. At her lowest point she weighed 82 pounds (37 kilograms) and then ten months later had doubled in size after a series of bulimic binges. She also discusses hiding her sexuality for most of her life. Entertainment Weekly gave the book a B+ and calls her a “vivid writer” who is “nakedly honest”.

This might be an interesting read if you like non-fiction. Will you line up to get a copy of Portia’s book or is it just another star writing a book to make money?

Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi was on Oprah Winfrey’s Show on Monday. This was their first interview as a married couple.

Oprah asked Portia when she knew Ellen was the one.

Portia said: “When I first laid eyes on her,”  “But it took me three years to actually tell her how I felt about her, because I was on ‘Ally McBeal’ at the time and wasn’t living as an openly gay person. I was closeted and very very afraid that if I talked about being gay it would be the end of my career. So I wasn’t about to date the most famous lesbian in the world.”

“She’s my wife, I get to say that she’s my wife and that’s just the way it is,” said Portia.

Ellen praised his wife Portia:

“This is the smartest, kindest, most wonderful woman that you’ll ever, ever know,”

“Anybody who’s married knows there is a difference,” said Ellen. “It feels like you’re home. There’s an anchor, there’s a safety. I’m going to be with her until the day I die and I know that.” – via Huffington News

Ellen, 51 and Portia, 36 were married on August 16, 2008 at their home, they had a small wedding with nineteen guests including their respective mothers.

Seriously, Ellen & Portia look so happy together! Sheesh, I could have never guessed that Ellen is 51! Wow she looks young for her age.

Portia and Ellen had a small wedding in front of about 20 family and friends.  They gathered at their home in California and repeated vows.  Portia was said to be wearing pink tulle and Ellen had on a white suit.  Of course.  No official pictures have been released, but you can go to Dlisted and get some paparazzi shots.  Can these two be any more traditional of a lesbian couple? 

As long as the pair are happy, that’s good for me, I suppose.  Congratulations to the happy couple!

The pair have been tight lipped about the affair, only saying it would be small and soon.  It looks like soon is sooner than soon!  US Weekly confirms the wedding will happen sometime on Saturday.  There will only be a few family and friends in attendance, not a huge blowout affair that Hollywood is known for.  So, who gets to wear the white dress?  I guess Portia, and Ellen will wear a white suit. 

Who will have the exclusive photos?

While the pair said a date was set and preparations were being made, they would not give out a date.  The ceremony will be shown on Ellen’s show in the future.  Maybe for November sweeps?

The pair have been dating for some time.  Now that same sex marriage will be legal in California, the two are going to take advantage of the ruling and party down!  Ellen said she will have some big names perform, but wouldn’t give any clues as to who.  Will you tune in to see it on TV?
