Ellen and Portia named one of TV's "Power Couples"
OK, so it wasn't a national poll or anything - just the opinions of the editors of TV Guide. But they seem to have made a good choice in including Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi among the top 10 power couples in TV. The magazine quotes theenvelope.com's Tom O'Neil tells the mag: "Ellen and Portia aren't just Hollywood's token lesbian power couple. They shatter all stereotypes. A few years ago, it would have been unimaginable to think that a lesbian would be the only Hollywood star entrusted to host the Oscars, Emmys and Grammys, but Ellen's been ringmaster at all three. Portia's a proven talent in her own right, not a lesbian trophy wife."
Bravo!
Among my other faves on the list Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick and Ken Olin and Patricia Wettig.

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

I heard they were splitting up. They were supposidly having troubles before Iggygate and that incident was the last straw.
Portia and Ellen are super cute, and they seem totally stable and low-drama, which is cool. I wrote a similar round up of power couples from art, fashion, etc. if you are interested.
