'Dancing With the Stars' Wants Portia DeGeneres for First Same-Sex Dance Couple?
Portia DeGeneres could be the first celebrity to dance with a same-sex partner on "Dancing With the Stars."

The hit competition series is "planning to feature a same-sex couple. You're at the top of the list,"Ryan Seacrest told Portia (who changed her last name from de Rossi to DeGeneres) on his radio show yesterday.

The proclamation seemed to surprise DeGeneres, who is married to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. "Goodness, you really do break news," she said.

Rather than flat out pooh-pooh the notion, DeGeneres said, "I'm not gonna pass, let me think about it. I used to be a ballet dancer. It's not completely a pass. You never know."

...with "stars" like Bristol Palin, Tom DeLay, Tucker Carlson, and Sara Evans, the show obviously encourages an obsequious right-wing audience that would balk at a same-sex dance couple

2. yeah... I can not imagine how that would go over...
But, she is one beautiful woman, so who knows, particularly given the obsession many men (RW, included) have with lesbianism and their "thee-way" fantasies.

3. Exactly the reason they would do it - ratings.

4. The Pros from Dover have a lock on next season.
The fix is in, buy it now.
