Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are planning to renew their wedding vows.
The couple - who tied the knot in August 2008 - are organizing a lavish ceremony to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary in Sydney, Australia.
A source said that the duo "want to show their commitment to each other" after the chat show host was forced to deny they were having problems in December. "There have been a lot of headlines suggesting that their relationship is in trouble. They want to quash them. [They] are looking to do something on or around August 16, their sixth wedding anniversary, in Portia's home country of Australia. They want it to be in Sydney because the city has a big gay population, and they want to help spur the acceptance of same-sex marriage," the insider added.
The happy couple recently splashed out on installing a $35,000 home spa at their house in Holmby Hills, California. The couple bought the home for a whopping $40 million in January.

Cara Delevingne to Reunite with Michelle Rodriguez
Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez are set to reunite this weekend.
The British supermodel, who sparked rumors she had split from the Fast and the Furious actress when she attended her sister Poppy Delevingne's wedding to James Cook in London alone last Friday, is reportedly bringing the brunette beauty as her date to the couple's second celebration in Marrakesh, Morocco.
"It's galling that everyone keeps saying that Cara and Michelle have split, they've very much together. Michelle is definitely coming and heaps of others too, it's going to be stunning," a source said.
Sources previously suggested Cara, 21, had dumped Michelle, 35, because of their busy schedules. "Cara and Michelle have really cooled things in the past month and haven't seen each other in a while. For Cara to go to the wedding alone was a big statement - she and Michelle were rarely apart early this year but are now taking a break," a friend said.
Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez Split?
Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez have reportedly split.
The supermodel is said to have broken up with her partner, and her decision to attend her sister Polly's wedding on her own was seen as "a big statement" as the two women go on a "break."
"Cara and Michelle have really cooled things in the past month and haven't seen each other in a while. For Cara to go to the wedding alone was a big statement - she and Michelle were rarely apart early this year but are now taking a break," a source said.
Poppy and James Cook got married yesterday and it was previously revealed Cara wore a white gown as maid of honor - and she attended with her pet rabbit rather than her now ex-girlfriend. The 21-year-old star wore a Haute Couture Chanel gowdress, and the bridal party got ready at Claridge's Hotel in Mayfair before the nuptials.

Ellen Page admits the support she has received since coming out has "blown her mind."
The X-Men: Days of Future Past actress revealed she is gay at the Human Rights Campaign's Time to Thrive conference in February and admits she expected to be subjected to some "vicious" comments afterwards.
"I've experienced basically nothing but support, it's actually really kind of blown my mind. I thought there would be a lot more viciousness," she said.
The 27-year-old star admitted she was "afraid" to make the revelation because of the expected backlash, and she thinks it is "beautiful" so many people have had kind things to say: "Maybe that's because you're afraid and for some reason you have this perspective, because of probably your own anxiety. So to me, that's been the most beautiful thing, because it's so indicative of the change that's happened and the growth that's happening. For me, it's been basically nothing but support."

Ellen DeGeneres has been named the most powerful gay celebrity in the US.
The 56-year-old talk show host, who is married to Arrested Development actress Portia de Rossi, secured the top spot on Out magazine's 2014 Power List, an annual ranking of the most influential LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) voices in American culture.
Announcing the news on its website, the publication stated, "Everybody loves Ellen, and that's one of the reasons she's regained the top spot. In March, The Ellen DeGeneres Show shattered its own 10-year ratings record in the episode that immediately followed her Academy Awards hosting gig, which also gave the awards its best ratings since 2004. And her star-studded Oscars selfie almost shut down Twitter when the pic became the most retweeted ever."
Other notable names on this year's list include fashion designers Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, Good Morning America host Robin Roberts, How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and Glee actress Jane Lynch.
Ellen DeGeneres Called Transphobic After Oscars Joke
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television,
Ellen DeGeneres has been branded a "transphobic" after she made a joke at the Oscar Awards on Sunday.
The talk show host - who is openly gay - has been criticized by fans after she joked that Liza Minnelli looked like a drag queen at the glamorous event, held in Los Angeles, at the weekend. "Hello to the best Liza Minnelli impersonator I've ever seen," Ellen, who was hosting the awards, said to Liza at the ceremony before adding, "Good job, sir."
Viewers took to Twitter afterwards to hit out at Ellen for her remark. "I did not appreciate Ellen's mean joke about Liza. I found it transphobic and disrespectful [sic]," Bruce LaBruce wrote. While Greastzok tweeted, "Are we going to address the fact that ellen blatantly called liza minelli a man you'd think she would know better im extremely disappointed. i literally just sat there in disbelief when she said that i was like did she actually just say that [sic]."
However, Liza, 67, didn't appear to take offence from the joke and claims the 56-year-old comedian didn't mean "any harm" by it. "I think she thought it would be funny, but she never stopped after she said it and said 'my friend Liza Minnelli.' So I think it went a little stray on her. I don't think she meant any harm at all, and she's a wonderful lady," she told TMZ.

Madonna received death threats for defending ##### Riot.
The "Hung Up" hitmaker gave an impassioned speech at the Amnesty International Concert in New York last night, in which she described herself as a "freedom fighter" as she introduced the Russian group - who were jailed on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred after performing a protest song in a Moscow cathedral - to the stage to address the audience at the Barclays Center.
"The right to be free, to speak our minds, to have an opinion, to love who we want to love, to be who we are -- do we have to fight for that? I've always considered myself a freedom fighter since the early '80s when I realized I had a voice and I could sing more than songs about being a material girl or feeling like a virgin. And I have definitely paid for and have been punished for speaking my mind and for sticking my neck out for this kind of discrimination. But that's OK."

Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez to Move in Together?
Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez are moving in together.
The British model and the American actress have become inseparable over the past few weeks and are now house hunting in the UK for their own place. "They love spending time with one another so moving in is a no-brainer. Splitting their time between London and LA would suit both of them. Cara's family have met Michelle and think she's great," a source said.
Michelle, 35, and Cara, 21, first sparked rumors they were dating after they were spotted cuddling up to each other while watching the New York Knicks defeat the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden at the beginning of the month.
The Burberry model - who has been romantically linked to One Direction star Harry Styles - has hinted in the past that she is attracted to both men and women. She also wrote a cryptic message on Twitter in November, which read, "Don't worry I play for more than one team."
