Everything is coming up Rosie these days. Miss O'Donnell is not only a popular (if not sometimes controversial) addition to "The View," she confirmed ths week that she will be reprising her guest spot on "Nip/Tuck" as lottery winner Dawn Budge - who paid Julian McMahon's character to have sex with her for $100,000 - in a spinoff series!
The character proved to be such a hit with fans, producers approached Rosie about starring in her own show.
In the "Ask Ro" section of her Internet blog, she is asked the question, "Is it true ur (sic) in talks for a spin-off series starring as Dawn Budge?" O'Donnell posted the message, "Talks r (sic) over. I said yes."
The new series will reportedly be shot in New York City, so O'Donnell can also continue her hosting duties on "The View."
And speaking of "The View," McMahon shocked Rosie this week by appearing on the chat show with the zebra skin rug the two shot a love scene on and preceded to recreate the scene. McMahon unfurled the rug and jumped on top of O'Donnell after she sprawled out on the carpet, to the delight of the studio audience. Co-host Joy Behar also had a turn on the rug with McMahon after musing that she was missing out on all the fun.
