Actress Portia de Rossi will join Sean 4 of "Scandal" in what wife Ellen DeGeneres called a "top secret arc" on Twitter.
The news that de Rossi will appear on “Scandal” was broken by DeGeneres, who just flat-out admitted that she wanted to brag a little.

DeGeneres and de Rossi have made no secret of their love for "Scandal."
"Portia and I watch every single week, and we're always trying to figure out who the bad guy is," DeGeneres said on her show back in April.
Since the only news on de Rossi’s new role has come from that brief tweet, it’s unclear whether the actress will play a “bad guy” or a Gladiator.
E! Online reported that an ABC rep confirmed that de Rossi will be on the show, but then had to go back on the promise to report more details.
“In typical Scandal world (Shondaland) fashion, every single source we have on this show has shut us down as far as any information on Portia's role,” E! Online wrote. “Apparently, Portia and Scandal boss Shonda Rhimes are the only ones who know anything about what Portia will be playing, and guess what? Shonda is currently prepping for a visit tonight from President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama (for the L.A. fundraiser at Shonda's house), so we are guessing that calling us up to give us spoilers is not currently weighing heavy on her mind.”
Rumors have been swirling lately that the star couple's marriage is on the rocks, but if that's true, it's hard to tell from DeGeneres' proud tweet.
