Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, came to New Orleans Friday in advance of the Make It Right Foundation’s “A Night to Make It Right” fundraiser, which DeGeneres is hosting with foundation founder Brad Pitt. Last night, the celebrity couple went to the Parish at House of Blues to see DeGeneres’ old friend Barbara Menendez perform with her new band The Help. The two have been friends since Menendez’ time in the local ’80s new wave band The Cold, which she founded with Ellen’s brother Vance DeGeneres. OffBeat Art Director Elsa Hahne was at the concert and took this photo.
