Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her actress girlfriend Portia De Rossi will marry this weekend in California, according to a source.

The pair, who have been together since 2004, have planned a small, intimate ceremony. Only a select few close family and friends will be in attendance.

DeGeneres, 50, made the announcement that she would wed her girlfriend on her talk show in May, following the California Supreme Court’s ruling that same sex couples would now have the right to marry.

“It’s something that we’ve wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited,” DeGeneres said on her show.

Perhaps not-so-secret gay couple Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson should tag along with DeGeneres and De Rossi and make a day of it??

Just hours after the California Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in the U.S. state, talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres announced that she’s going to get hitched – to her longtime girlfriend, Portia De Rossi.

DeGeneres made the shock announcement during this afternoon’s taping of the Ellen DeGeneres Show, telling the crowd that she and her Australian actress partner, De Rossi, would finally wed legally.

The audience went wild when they heard the news, giving DeGeneres and De Rossi – who was in the crowd watching the taping – a standing ovation.

The show will air in the U.S. tomorrow.
