2 Marriages and a Lawsuit

Two stars announce their engagements after California's Same Sex Marriage Ban is lifted

It was the shout heard throughout the state of California when in early May their Supreme Court overturned the state's ban on gay marriage. Not only are the local residents excited about the opportunity to finally legalize their unions; a couple of our favorite celebs have announced wedding plans.

Emmy-award winning talk show host Ellen DeGeneres announced on her show that she and Arrested Development's Portia de Rossi are getting married. As her audience cheered and gave both Ellen and Portia, sitting in the audience beaming happily and applauding with them, a standing ovation she says "It is something of course that we have wanted to do and we wanted to be legal, and we are just very, very excited."

George Takei was also on cloud 9 as he announced that he and his partner of more than 21 years Brad Altman, are getting married. The Heroes star posted on his website he and Altman, his business manager, have shared their lives for over 21 years and are overjoyed to be able to legally get married.

He goes on to say "No more 'separate but equal.' No more second-class citizenship. Brad and I are going to be married as full citizens of our state." George and Brad met at a gay men's running club in Los Angeles; he trained the Star Trek star for his first marathon. The newly engaged Takei can be seen in the new Adam Sandler comedy You Don't Mess with the Zohan, currently in theaters.

Congratulations to the happy couples and may you continue to enjoy spending the rest of your lives together.

The Norwoods vs. The Kardashians Part II

The Kardashian family is firing back at Sonja Norwood. Kim, her sisters Khloe and Kourtney along with brother Robert Jr., have filed a counter suit against Ray J's mother where the claim is the Kardashians abused her American Express card. Again, Sonja should have gotten the card back on the same say she allowed them to use it on that fateful day in 2004.
