Ellen and Portia’s Flashy TV Wedding!

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

Mark your calendars, it will be one ELL of a TV spectacular!

To celebrate gay marriage being made legal nationwide, Ellen DeGeneres has asked Portia de Rossi to renew their vows – in a lavish wedding special on national television!

“Ellen thinks a big gay wedding on TV would be a huge hit,” said a source. “She believes that more than 20 million American viewers could tune in, with millions more overseas!

“She can also stream it on her Internet channel, ‘Ellentube.’”

The talk show host wants to invite all her celebrity pals, including well-known married gay couples Elton John and David Furnish, and Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, to the blowout, said the source.

“Ellen’s convinced she can make a bundle on such a special, and show everyone that her marriage to Portia is rock solid and better than ever!” the insider added.

With the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on June 26 that individual states cannot ban same-sex marriage, Ellen thinks the timing is perfect, the source said, and she was clearly thrilled at the landmark decision.

“Love won. #MarriageEquality,” Ellen tweeted to her nearly 45 million followers.

A renewal of vows couldn’t come at a better time for the tempestuous twosome.

Ellen, 57, and Portia, 42, reportedly got into an “epic blowup” over Portia’s career after returning home from a South African vacation.

“This could save them,” said the source.

The couple’s splashy “I do” would be a far cry from their first wedding when they got hitched at their Los Angeles home on Aug. 16, 2008, in front of just 19 guests.

Ironically, as The National ENQUIRER reported at the time, it was Ellen who wanted the nuptials to be intimate and low-key. “Portia wanted to trumpet their lesbian wedding to the world and make it a lavish fairytale event,” an insider told The ENQUIRER back then.

“She set her sights on inviting family and friends from her native Australia, the gang from her ‘Arrested Development’ series, the staff from Ellen’s show, celebrity pals and big names from the gay community.

“But Ellen told Portia, ‘This isn’t about how many friends we can invite. This is about us. I want a wedding, not a circus.’”

The source said: “Now it’s Ellen who wants to go crazy on the renewal of their vows, while Portia thinks it shouldn’t be over the top.

“But, in the end, Portia will always go along with what Ellen wants.”
