LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Ellen DeGeneres' ex-partner has voiced plans to file legal action against DeGeneres and her current girlfriend, Portia De Rossi.

The talk show host ended her four-year relationship with photographer-director Alexandra Hedison last month and invited "Arrested Development" star De Rossi to share her Hollywood mansion, the World Entertainment News Network reported Monday.

Hedison has said she plans to take palimony action against DeGeneres, and she wants to follow that up by suing De Rossi for "alienation of affection" -- a legal phrase dating back to when seducing a spouse was regarded as theft.
