Thanks for catching my error about Portia de Rossi’s name. As an interesting side-note, her birth name is Mandy Lee Rogers. She took the name “Portia” from the character in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice,” and adopted “de Rossi” because she thought it sounded exotic.

And I’m shocked, shocked I say, that you goofed up Portia de Rossi’s name.
