Portia de Rossi to Go Dancing With the Stars ... With Same Sex Partner?
by Free Britney at .Is Portia DeGeneres considering joining the cast of Dancing With the Stars next season? If and when she does, would she be given a same-sex partner?
Phoning in this morning to Ryan Seacrest's radio show, Ellen DeGeneres' wife discussed both possibilities. She didn't confirm anything, nor did she pass.
"They're planning to feature a same-sex couple. You're at the top of the list," Ryan told her. "Goodness, you really do break news," she replied, startled.
"I'm not gonna pass, let me think about it," the Arrested Development star said. "I used to be a ballet dancer, it's not completely a pass. You never know."
DWTS producers are keeping close tabs on the Israeli version, which is about to feature the first same-sex pairing in any of the international editions.
If that goes well, we could see a similar move in the U.S.
Portia, who's been making the rounds to promote her new book, Unbearable Lightness, said she's gotten "more honest and open about my sexuality."
Being on Dancing With the Stars with a woman would certainly be a step in that direction. What do you think of the idea of same-sex partners on DWTS?

if your parents were as gay as you you would'nt be here so shame on your stupidity wake up get back to god pray he will find a way to proper happiness,
This is reallly!!! DUMB, like come on now this is just going wayyy to far. I respect the gay and lesbianm community but to have to go as far as to have to dance with another woman? That's just ridiculous, many gay men and for all I know it lesbian women dance with the opposite sex all the time, it's not a big deal and it would just look really awkward to have 2 girls in a dance hold. Personally I think this is really immature and if she can't dance with an icky man then she shouldn't dance at all, like come on it's not like we are asking her to have a emotional/sexual relationship with her partner.
You say that as they are spreading a disease! WTH? Really? They are not imposing their lifestyle on anyone.
Are people completely retarded? Who cares if she may have a female partner.. Ever think that dancing with a man might make her uncomfortable? This is 2010!!!!People date the same sex and are open about it! Grow up!! Its people that have negative comments about same sex couples that make gay people commit suicide. They feel like what they are doing must be hidden away... Being different is wrong?? First it was interacial couples, now this. .Get over it. Its not like they are gonna be having sex on tv.. If you dont like it then dont watch it... still gonna be plenty of people that do watch it.. Wow. People are just so ignorant. Im a straight woman but I support same sex couples.I know children that are more accepting of same sex couples than adults and thats just sad.Grow up!
i dont personally agree with being gay or lesbian but im not going to judge you if you are. but this is RIDICULOUS! i am a dancer myself and you cannot do half the dances and lifts without the strength of a man! secondly why does anybody need to see two girls be sexy doing a slow dance or tango together?? if people want to see that than they should just watch porn dont make everybody else sit through it! i think that they are pushing the gay rights too far and this makes me not want to watch it anymore!
