Ellen/Portia Injured in Porsche

Posted Sep 2nd 2006 9:15PM by TMZ Staff

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and girlfriend Portia de Rossi were injured Friday when a woman suspected of drunk driving caused a chain collision.
Portia de Rossi and Ellen Degeneres
It occurred on Sunset Blvd., just before 4 p.m. DeGeneres and de Rossi were in a 2006 Porsche Carrera, stopped at a light. TMZ is told that two men in the Buick behind them were paparazzi in pursuit of a shot, though that car was stopped as well. Suddenly, a 2002 Porsche Carrera, driven by 52-year-old Jeanne Werber, slammed into the Buick, which in turn slammed into DeGeneres' car.

An LAPD spokeswoman tells TMZ that Werber was arrested and booked on suspicion of drunk driving. A source at the scene says Werber was belligerent after the crash.

We're told DeGeneres complained of neck and back pain. Portia de Rossi complained of back pain as well. The force was severe enough that the airbag in the paparazzi car deployed.

35. Now now, children. Livewire, I notice your noxious fodder #25 -- so then it's ok for you to take up half a page with your utter nonsense? Get a grip, ignoramus.

36. Checked out Livewire's diarrhea submission - 25. He speaks in the third person, like that Jimmy on a Seinfeld episode. "Jimmy doesn't like this, Jimmy doesn't like that...." Watching old Seinfeld episodes, Livewire, to get your "act"? What a moron.

38. Oh oh, I'm afraid. Now diaper boy Livewire will include me on his list. You lash out at anyone who disagrees with you. Get a life you BIG ZERO.

39. By the way, there is an imposter Livewire in TMZ, because Livewire did not post #31. A clue to know if it is authentic 100% grade A beef Livewire is that the post must be witty and funny. For all the imposters, there is only 1 LIVEWIRE!

40. Jennifer doesn't understand the history of satire. Livewire does. She is too lame to get a nomination.

"Love it or hate it, but learn to live with it, because LIVEWIRE is the best thing going of TMZ today" Livewire

Livewire= TMZ Hits!

41. Must have been your Sybil alias, Livewire. Hey, anyone notice the striking similarities between Bachi's and Livewire's long winded submissions? You really need attention don't you, Livewire, Bachi, Alissa, Kathryn = SAME PERSON. Grow some balls you pathetic douchebag.

43. Here is the rule in going the battle with Livewire as far as responding to Livewire postings, the funniest posts on TMZ today. Livewire does not suffer fools lightly. The Livewire posts make people laugh, so if feebleminded posters out there want to deny folks their laughter and try to fight Livewire, at least be funny. Morons like the Wondertwins Kenny and Chucky, who prance around with their breaths smelling like dickcheese (too much sucky sucky chucky!), are pathetic in their feeble attempts to silence the Livewire, much like "Pumkinhead" Carrie and Firecrotch Jennifer. At least be witty or funny!

Livewire has had some folks come back with some funny remarks and Livewire laughs, those posters have earned the respect of Livewire, and they are spared a verbal beatdown. But when you waste people's time by posting kindergarten level type responses, Livewire has to dehumanize you!

And cretins, verbally dehumanize you Livewire will, if you don't have the mental capacity to know how to respond in a way that entertains LIVEWIRE and his TMZ fans (they are legion!)

Thank You, Don Livewire

44. AHHH, I see you are back again LIVEWIRE. Always stiring the pot to see who you can provoke. VERY insightlful of you. My guilty pleasure is to log on to this site every chance I can and look for these silly, entertaining conversations that go on between, I SPEAK BACHI, alyssa, kathleen, , tamara and whom ever else feels compelled to hurl insults back and forth at each other. NO ONE HAS TO READ THEM, but it's like watching a bad train wreck. You don't really want to but you just can't help it. Everytime i log on now I look at the MOST RECENT POSTINGS and if one of these names are there, I take a PEEK. I know I will always get a good LAUGH !!!! I am all knowing and all seeing I am .............................................

45. Emperor Livewire, you've crushed me - NOT! I see you've taken up another page (41, 42 and 43 - another of your aliases) with your grade school, foolish entries. Don't you have any LIVE (not imagined) friends you can have these breathtaking repartees with? You are just proving what all these posters are saying about you is true. How sad that TMZ is your only outlet.
