Lily Tomlin Jokes About Wearing Chicken Costume To Her Own Wedding!

(source)

One of Hollywood's biggest open secrets is that Lily Tomlin is a lesbian. Maybe it's common knowledge, but she's been pretty hush-hush about herself for years. The 74-year-old comedienne has been with her partner Jane Wagner (age 78) for 42 years (basically all of my life, plus a few months!), which is big not only for a relationship -- but also for a Hollywood relationship!

Tomlin was interviewed recently for E! and revealed that the couple is toying to marrying each other, though they want to keep their wedding somewhat nontraditional:

"You don't really need to get married, but marriage is awfully nice," Tomlin said. "Everybody I know who got married, they say it really makes a difference. They feel very very happy about it."

Of course, being the funny lady that she is, Tomlin also cracked that she and Wagner wouldn't be slipping into wedding gowns.

"No rings, no bridal dresses," she said. "Maybe we'll be dressed like chickens."

As implied above, there is no wedding date scheduled for the pair -- yet.
