she shouldn't worry. her awesomeness on better off ted should earn her an emmy. she's a big bundle of talent, and there's always jobs for that
 
2009-12-04 04:08:49 PM
Oh I like her just fine. In my pants.
 
2009-12-04 04:12:02 PM
Right... I'm sure this tall, blond, gorgeous woman will be totally shunned for liking other women. She should really come be gay at my house where no one can see her.
 
2009-12-04 04:18:28 PM
I saw her on two talk shows this morning. Wish she wouldn't grin so much, as I keep checking her teeth for Ellen's...er, never mind.
 
2009-12-04 04:22:18 PM
Feh. She was on Arrested Development, I knew she was gay, and I still accepted her as the unhappy unsexed slut Lindsay Funkë. She's great on Better Off Ted too.

She's got Ellen money anyway.

If I was going to not like her, it would be for choosing such a stupid stage name. How she got Portia de Rossi from Amanda Lee Rogers is beyond me.
 
2009-12-04 04:23:15 PM
Hell, she's awesome and she's married to Ellen Degeneres. That makes her good in my book ;)
 
2009-12-04 04:25:02 PM
I liked her more before she got skinny. Now, not so much.
 
2009-12-04 04:35:41 PM
She could always go back to doing commercials for Cloudmir Vodka.

i love her in Better Off Ted

I hold nothing against her. I just wonder if Ellen is always the "man" in the relationship, or if she occasionally lets Portia wear the strap-on.
 
2009-12-04 06:26:19 PM
Its not that she's gay, its just any casting director/producer knows he's going to have to deal with Ellen visiting the set during production.

Its the same reason any straight actress who marries Tom Arnold will see their career decline.

Portia doesn't need a strap-on...

You've got waaaayyy too much time on your hands. You need a woman/man/sheep/vibrator. And a good porn channel.

She's awesome. Awesome. in Better Off Ted.

My favorite lines:

Veronica: But rebooting would shut down Veridian's entire worldwide operation. And that means money, which the company never parts with unless forced to by a government stronger than they are. And there's only three of those left.

* * *

Veronica: I confiscated this a few months ago from Dewey the security guard. He had dozens of employee sex tapes like that.
Ted: Dewey? Damn. That's the first person I've ever met named Dewey I thought was normal.
Veronica: The quest continues.

* * *

Veronica: There is no program to green the building.
Ted: Yeah there is. They made a commercial about it.
Veronica: I didn't say there wasn't a commercial about greening the building. I said there is no program to green the building.
Ted: So it's all a lie?
Veronica: They prefer to look at it as a dream.
Ted: But one they're not working towards.
Veronica: Are you working toward all your dreams, Ted? Then stop pointing fingers.

* * *

Shamelessly ripped off from our friends at ...

Gay or not she is still hot!
 
2009-12-04 08:57:21 PM
It's always been her incredible smile that's drawn me to her.
/I do find "Portia de Rossi" to be an awfully pretentious name
//Mandy Rogers sounds so much better
 
2009-12-04 08:58:33 PM
Better Off Ted starts up again next week! I'm all excited now.
 
2009-12-04 09:06:40 PM
No, we don't like you because your sex tape hasn't been leaked yet.

From her Wikipedia page:

When I was 15, I changed my name legally. In retrospect, I think it was largely due to my struggle about being gay. Everything just didn't fit, and I was trying to find things I could identify myself with, and it started with my name. I picked Portia because I was a Shakespeare fan (Portia is the character in The Merchant of Venice who comes to the rescue of Antonio and Bassanio in their time of need). De Rossi because I was Australian and I thought that an exotic Italian name would somehow suit me more than Mandy Rogers. When you live in Australia, Europe is so far away and so fascinating, so stylish and cultured and sophisticated.

/was wondering the same thing
//not the best choice
///the de Rossi part, I can live with Portia

2009-12-04 09:27:37 PM
Is it wrong that I really hope Ellen & Portia come out with a sex tape?
 
2009-12-04 09:43:22 PM
I still want to have sex with her and I still don't have a shot at it. What's changed?
 
2009-12-04 09:45:04 PM
Ellen sure can land some mighty fine women.

her?
 
2009-12-04 10:56:49 PM
When is the Portia/Ellen sex tape coming out?

I'd buy that for a dollar! Maybe even two.
 
2009-12-04 11:01:03 PM
Of course this is only applicable to the men, but it's more likely that it would be because she's starting to look a little old.

I can't believe it took that long.

"I'd buy that for a dollar! Maybe even two."

Why would you need two? One for home, another for the office?
 
2009-12-04 11:15:21 PM
Why would I care if she's gay? It's not like I had a chance with her anyway.
 
2009-12-04 11:29:19 PM
You know, she is showing a bit of age in Better Off Ted and that's OK. I'm actually more attracted to her now.

It might be the female boss thing.

Tits or gtfo.

She's very sexy and goofy and I just love her.

Learning that Portia de Rossi is Australian is causing me the same distress and confusion that I had when I heard Hugh Laurie speaking the Queen's English.

Why did they name her after a car?
 
2009-12-05 01:13:18 AM
I'd forgotten how hilarious her quotes are from Better Off Ted. I'm so glad it's coming back next week.
 
2009-12-05 07:09:20 AM
If she's so worried about being gay affecting her career, she can drop by my house for some extended hetero loving. She may not be that into it, but I'll do my best to convert her.

She can announce she's gone straight in time to win some awards, and afterwards 'relapse' and return to Ellen.

I would make that sacrifice.
 
2009-12-05 07:31:08 AM
Mainly she needs to get the fark over herself. She is never going to be a big main stream actress. Not because she's gay, but because she's just not that kind of actress.

She's funny and hot and talented (in my opinion), but she's not "leading lady" material. Get over it. Go discuss your issue with Mia Kirshner, film it, and then call me.

I think America is starting to move past the stigma of gay. It's just not a big deal anymore unless you're stupid like Adam Lambert and you're out there flaunting it to try to shock people. This is one of those weird Hollywood insecurities that celebrities like to air, but which isn't realistic.

Portia De Rossi is a beautiful woman with a stage name that sounds like something a stripper or a porn star would come up with. She's a good actress and she can handle herself in high-quality comedies like Arrested Development and Better Off Ted. She's connected to Ellen, who has a huge following and a ton of production ability. She's really got NOTHING to worry about.
 
2009-12-05 10:21:12 AM
"I think America is starting to move past the stigma of gay."

That could be due to the fact that the US may be in crisis news overload. The last few years of political BS and impending disaster predictions on everything from global warming to 2012 to whatever the media cooks up next makes worrying about someone's sexual preferences seem rather unimportant to most.
 
2009-12-05 10:23:50 AM
What's not to like? She's got great comedic timing, looks good, and acts like an adult. She's imminently likable.

/And for the record, I'd love to nail both her and her wife.
//Ellen is cute, man.

Jakevol2: ActualFarkal: 4NSpy: her?

I can't believe it took that long.

I can, considering it was Anne Veal as played by Mae Whitman that it was always said about.


It was a recurring joke used in reference to a number of females on the show, including Lucille Bluth and Maggie Lizer.
