Who's That with Ellen?

Answer: Russell Crowe.

Russell as Russ le Roq titled his first single "I Want to Be Like Marlon Brando." He later admitted that he had never even seen a Brando movie when he wrote and recorded the song.

Crowe did about 458 performances in the New Zealand Touring company of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." He played Dr. Frank N. Furter about 50 times, and performed over 400 times as Eddie and Dr Scott.

Russell has starred in two films based on articles from Vanity Fair magazine. "The Insider" was based on a story named "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by Marie Brenner. "Proof of Life" was based on the article "Adventures in the Ransom Trade" by William Prochnau.

California is finally out of the dark ages! I hope New York is next. The minority out there thinks we are second class citizens. Ellen is the spokeswoman for us. We are not second class citizens. Love is love, no matter who you love. Get over it already! There was a time when african-americans couldn't marry white people and vice-versa. Look now! It's common these days. I hope gay marriage will be common to,AND LEGAL. We deserve the same rights as a man and woman. Good luck Ellen and Portia you deserve it.

Congratualtions Ellen and Portia from one native New Orleanian to another! I live in Canada now and it has been legal here since June 2005 for same sex couples to marry. My girlfriend and I were married last month! We wish you both happiness and many 4 legged kids!

What if heaven is actually God's mercy, giving us one last chance to love those we have hated on earth? And What if our "mansion" is surrounded by "mansions" of those we have found it difficult to tolerate? Who would you be surrounded by? Me? I would be surrounded by close-minded, intolerant, right-wing, conservative Christians. Just a thought.

Congratulations Ellen on your wedding news,

You've waited a long time for this happiness and I'm really not surprised that you found it with an Aussie...

We're just lovely women with a little "something special" and only a small number get a chance to see that "something special" and when they do, they usually can't resist.

Regards
Kerry

Hi Ellen,
In life you have to find your joy everyday just to survive the long haul! Whenever I get the chance to watch your show you always cause me to laugh.I appreciate that from you.

I have been married to the same man for over 25 years and have three children. God knows it isn't easy staying on course day after day. But I think that anyone, no matter of their gender, who is willing to make a long term commitment to another person deserves the right to make the marriage legal.

I am proud of you Ellen for standing your ground and being the type of person you are. Best of luck to you and Portia. Please continue to make me laugh. I need that every day.
Eleanor

Dear Ellen,
I am so happy for you and Portia. You guys make a wonderful couple. I wish you all the happieness in the world. And to the people who are against this: who are we to judge who people can and can't love. Being gay is not a choice, it's who you are attracted to and who you love. I hate ignorant people, what if I told you that you couldn't love the person you are with, how would that make you feel? I know that would make me feel inhuman. Ellen I thank you for opening peoples eyes, you are a true inspiration to me and many young adults out there. Thank you, and keep being that strong woman that we all love to watch on TV everyday!
