Just call them The Gay Godmothers! Ellen DeGeneres is in the running to replace Maury Povich’s as daytime TV’s resident Captain Save-A-Ho. The compassionate comedienne and her wife Portia are reportedly beside themselves with worry for actress Lindsay Lohan. Apparently, Michael Lohan’s Full Court Press chronicling tales of the troubled starlet’s alleged continued drug addiction is tugging at the heartstrings of one of Hollywood’s most popular couples. Ellen and Portia are so determined to free Lindsay from her rumored personal Hell of pill-popping, they’ve invited her to move into their Los Angeles home and allow them to act as her sobriety coaches.

“Ellen’s heart is breaking for Lindsay — she’s had her on the show and likes her very much. So she talked her idea over with Portia, saying, ‘We can watch over Lindsay, get her straight and send her back into the world,’” a Hollywood tattle divulges in the Dec. 14 issue of The National Enquirer. “After consulting a drug counselor, Ellen phoned Lindsay and told her: “You’ve got to get yourself together — you have so much to offer. Come live with us and we’ll take care of you,” says the insider.

Mom Dina Lohan couldn’t be happier about the possible living arrangement. Word on The Snitch Circuit claims the controversial stage mother is deathly frightened about Lindsay’s fate after trying everything short of a court-ordered conservatorship to whip her famous daughter back into shape. Among those not raving over the arrangement is dad Michael, who’s emphatic that the American Idol judge’s real interest is seducing the bisexual Lindsay.

“Michael feels Ellen’s just trying to draw Lindsay into her lesbian clique……”

Lindsay — who insists she’s clean — has declined all offers of help.
