Portia De Rossi lands new role...

Lucy from the UK wrote a nice note of congratulations on Out In Hollywood's one-year anniversary and took the opportunity to make a few suggestions one of which is: more lesbian news and pics. She singled-out my not posting about Portia De Rossi inking a deal to appear on "Nip/Tuck" next season which, truth be told, I had planned to do yesterday but got distracted (honest!).
Lucy, I'll try harder and thanks for reading the blog every day!
As for Portia, I'd like to point out that while she is best known as Ellen DeGeneres' girlfriend these days, she has been a regular on both "Ally McBeal" and "Arrested Development" and was terrific in both shows. On "Nip/Tuck," Portia will be playing a manipulative lesbian mother, who wants her teenage daughter to get plastic surgery. Her appearance is in addition to the previously-announced return engagement by Rosie O'Donnell who made quite an impression as a trailer park woman who wins the lottery and wants the full plastic surgery treatment...and she ends up bedding Julian McMahon.
So not fair.
AfterEllen.com quotes an NBC Blogger with this description of Rosie's storyline: Here's the gossip on Rosie's role, according to an NBC blogger: "Rosie will come to Dr. McNamara and Dr. Troy for a procedure where she will end up having to have her mouth sewn shut! She's forced to communicate with them through a dry erase board. She'll appear in episode four, which will begin filming in mid to late July. They want her back for more episodes after this but they have not been written yet and need to check Rosie's schedule."
