I don't think Ellen DeGeneres' girlfriend is going to be able to pull of this part. She is trying to convincingly portray a straight person in a relationship with Harold Ford, but in reality she was born gay and prefers women. She and Ellen are a model lesbian couple. Even the best on-screen chemistry would still be acting. I mean seriously, there's NO WAY a lesbian like Anne will EVER hook up with guys later on and have a couple of kids with men. Sexual orientation isn't something you choose, and she can't help being a lesbian.

Experimenting? She "experimented" and was "confused" with Ellen for over 3 years.

Well as long as the staff at Yahoo Movies confirms it, it must be true. I had no idea you had such solid evidence. CSL

A few rolls in the hay is experimenting, over three years together is a committed relationship. She's obviously bi-sexual. She spent over 3 years in a sexual relationship with a woman. Obviously she wanted to be there. Maybe the marriage to Laffoon was an experiment. It did not last very long. They were separated for 2 years before they divorced. What does the staff at Yahoo! Movies say about that?

My point is that they were not together all of the years they were married.

He did well in the divorce settlement. There was not all that much to fight over. They agreed on the custody arrangements.

My opinion is that she is bi-sexual As for the crazy episode, I think she has some mental health issues which make her a risk for employment. That could be one of the reasons why she can't find quality work. Actors have to be insured. She's a high risk.

Did you all forget in early 2000 she married a camera man, had kids, divorced 5 1/2 years later and is now with her male costar from Men in Trees and had kids with him?

I remember her saying in an interview "I gave men a chance, and now I'm with Ellen". As if she had found her soulmate. We are what we are we don't "pick"what we are. I think she's a little crazy. Remember her Barbara Walters interview?

Who really cares? I used to like Ellen until she started flaunting her aberration - but again who cares?

I'm not into this queer stuff on either side but I just like Anne. She's a bit of eye candy, and played the humor here very well. Her blitzed scene when the plane was in the storm was priceless as well as the snake-in-the-panties routine later on.

Watch "Fatal Desire" sometime for another excellent role, this time a sexy manipulating b!tch.

No lesbian. Bi-sexual. She's married to a dude.
