Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres is so upset about her split with actress Anne Heche she can't even be in the same room as her ex- lover. DeGeneres and Heche were both due to appear at Friday's Lucy Awards in Hollywood, as their joint project If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000) (TV) was being honored. But DeGeneres decided if her ex-lover Heche was attending the event she'd find it too tough to be there too. However, Heche insists there's no bad feelings. She says, "I hope this turns out to be the best for both Ellen and me. It's a sad thing when a relationship breaks up but we're both doing great." »

Actress Ellen DeGeneres and lesbian lover Anne Heche have split up after a three and a half year relationship. DeGeneres, 43, was the first openly gay lead on television. A year after declaring her homosexuality in a Time magazine cover story in 1997, ABC cancelled her "Ellen" (1994) series, citing declining ratings. The couple said in a statement, "Unfortunately, we have decided to end our relationship. It is an amicable parting, and we greatly value the three and a half years we have spent together." Heche, 31, and DeGeneres collaborated on an HBO film If these Walls Could Talk 2 (2000) (TV) in April. Heche directed DeGeneres and Sharon Stone in the story of a lesbian couple trying to have a baby - a tale said to mirror the plans of Heche and DeGeneres. »
