Will Portia Same-Sex Dance On DWTS?

This morning Ryan Seacrest had a surprise for Mrs. Portia DeGeneres during a radio interview, announcing that she was under consideration to be Dancing With The Stars' first same-sex contestant.

"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," Porita replied startled. But she didn't pass. "I'm not gonna pass, let me think about it," she told him. "I used to be a ballet dancer, it's not completely a pass. You never know."

This week a same-sex couple debuted as contestants on Israel's version of the show. Producers at the American version are reportedly monitoring the reaction of the Israeli public very closely.
