PORTIA de Rossi has been offered the use of a Porsche sports car to tour her home town with partner Ellen DeGeneres next month.
Porsche Australia, Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu and Geelong Mayor Keith Fagg has backed a bid by The Geelong Advertiser for Grovedale-raised de Rossi and the TV host DeGeneres to visit Geelong.
"I have no doubt the Geelong community would embrace Ellen and welcome Portia back home with much excitement," Mr Baillieu told the Geelong Advertiser..
"I'd like to think everyone who comes to see what our great state has to offer gets a chance to spend some time in the Bellarine region, and I'm sure Portia would have told Ellen about our magnificent coastline.
