Portia de Rossi joining "Scandal" for a "top secret" arc
Portia de Rossi is headed for a "Scandal"-ous return to TV.
The "Arrested Development" alumna has booked an arc on the hit ABC drama's fourth season.
The news was announced Wednesday via Twitter by de Rossi's wife, Ellen DeGeneres, who said the actress' role is a "top secret" one:
So annoying when people brag on twitter & that's why I'm not tweeting that Portia just signed on to do a top secret arc on "Scandal". Oops.
