LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Portia de Rossi says she is not having in vitro fertilization in an attempt to get pregnant.

"There's a story around right now about me that could not be further from the truth," Portia told AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman on the set of "Better Off Ted," her new ABC comedy, which premieres March 18.

"The IVF story?" Laura asked.

"Yes," Portia confirmed. "That was just completely made up."

Portia said the IVF pregnancy rumors aren't new. In fact, she's used to the tales related to impending motherhood cropping up on a regular basis.

"The baby thing comes around annually," she told Laura. "I find... once a year, you know, whether I deny it or not... It doesn't make any difference."

One rumor Portia didn't deny during Laura's "Better Off Ted" set visit, was the one that the Aussie beauty was going to make an appearance on her wife's daytime talk show.

"I am," Portia said when Laura asked her about her "Ellen" appearance, set to occur in just a few weeks - her first time ever appearing on the show.

And though the two women have been coupled-up for some time, Portia admitted she is experiencing a little anxiety over her moment in Ellen's interview hot seat.

"Well, I don't know what she's gonna ask me! I mean, really on the spot. You know?" Portia laughed. "No, it'll be really fun!"

While Portia has an advantage over other guests with Ellen, she said she hasn't asked for any favors when it's time for the sit down interview.

"I just think whatever happens is gonna happen and it'll be fun," Portia smiled. "I think she'll go pretty easy on me."

    What 2 people do in their own homes, should be their business, and not involve anyone but them. These to people are happy with the life they have made for themselves. which is more than I can say for some of those that have previously commented. Why can't people do what makes them happy, with who ever makes them happy if they aren't hurting anyone. If you don' like their l

    Wow, I'm not going to miss that Ellen show. Portia and Ellen make the perfect couple and have handled themselves with respect and dignity in public. Personally I hope they don't have a baby just because of Ellens age but if they would adopt a child that was about 10 yrs old it would be wonderful for all of them. If they did do IVF they should get George Clooney for the donor.

    Their car is a "WEINERMOBILE".... Being "Legally Married" (That's a Pip) makes anything they do perfectly OK. People like these two will keep trying to force their lifestyle down the throats of californians. Or anything else thats long & hard.
