Ellen and Portia headed to Madeo for a quick bite before the Teen Choice awards, where Ellen took home the Choice Twit Award.
The prolific tweeter accepted the award with a flip vid cam, saying "Over two and half million of you are following me, and I still don't know where we're going. I found out a lot of you are following each other. So apparently we're in a big circle."
And that's not all Ellen has to smile about, she and Portia are set to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on August 16th.
Congrats!

After the big wedding, we were shocked to find Ellen and Portia out and about in West Hollywood with Portia's mom! Guess there was no honeymoon?
It's not as if they really need one; just one look at their smiling faces and it seems like the honeymoon's already begun!
And don't forget the friendly chat we had with the newlyweds, too... When asked how they feel, Portia shouted "amazing!" and Ellen said "married!" - aww! So sweet.

Well, they did it!
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married at their Beverly Hills home this Saturday night - check out the vid above! The two lovebirds have been planning their wedding since the California Supreme Court's ruling that same sex couples have the right to marry... congratulations to them! The public's opinion of Ellen has really come a long way since she came out on her TV show in the late 90's - we're so proud of (and happy for) her!
Among the few guests were Jessica Biel, seen below carrying beau Justin Timberlake's suit before attending the ceremony:


And look, she's even smiling! Jess must've been excited - she doesn't smile for just anybody!

Ellen DeGeneres and fiance Portia de Rossi grabbed a bite to eat at Il Cielo restaurant in Beverly Hills last night, and while waiting for Portia's car, Ellen chatted with photogs about their upcoming wedding plans. Check out the video below to hear what Ellen had to say!
UPDATE! - UsMagazine reports the couple will tie the knot this weekend!!! They'll marry in California (now that the CA Supreme Court ruled same sex couples have the right to marry) in a "small, intimate ceremony." - CONGRATS!

Ellen Degeneres announced that she would marry longtime girlfriend, actress Portia de Rossi, during a taping of her tv show yesterday just moments after the Supreme Court of California struck down a ban on gay marriages.
After making the announcement, which will air on today's show, Ellen was applauded by the audience (which included her girlfriend de Rossi).
This wouldn't be the first time Ellen made a major announcement on television - she infamously "came out" on her sitcom a little more than a decade ago.
Course, she's also not the first lesbian talk show host to marry - Rosie O'Donnell married her partner Kelli Carpenter in San Francisco in 2004. The marriage was later deemed invalid, but this recent overturn means their license is legal again!
We couldn't be happier for the couple, and we can't wait to see what this celebrity wedding will look like!

Here's exclusive video of just moments after Ellen's crash on Friday and here's how it went down ... Guy in a Honda, Ellen in her Porsche with her Portia, our photographer and his girlfriend, all stopped at the red light at Laurel and Sunset ... moments later, another woman (check her out at the end of the video) slams her Porsche into our guy (check out the trunk of his car) and his car pushes forward into Ellen's.
The producers of Ellen's show have already contacted our photographer and asked him to appear on the show to give his account of the accident ... we'll keep updated.
