Rosie to reprise her role on ‘Nip/Tuck’

And the regurgitated Rosie news just keeps on coming …
Laura Saltman over at the Access Hollywood blog reports that O’Donnell is definitely going to be returning to “Nip/Tuck” to reprise her role as horn-dog lottery winner Dawn Budge. The announcement wasn’t exactly a surprise, but it is notable in that it debunks speculation that Rosie would get her own spinoff show. It appears that we can finally quash that festering rumor once and for all.
Rosie’s character is supposed to play the love interest of Oliver Platt and—post-modern irony alert!—one scene will have the plastic surgeons sewing her mouth shut. Even the most hardened O’Donnell cynic has to love that. Also interesting: The Oliver Platt character is supposed to play an executive producer of a tv show about surgery, a character losely based on “Nip/Tuck”s own creator, Ryan Murphy. I say interesting because Murphy, like O’Donnell, is gay. In other words, Rosie is playing a straight character in love with a male character based on a gay man. Is that some kind of clever double-negative?
The episode (number four in the upcoming season) is set to film in mid to late July, after the Troy/McNamara team has already moved their practice from Miami to L.A.
