Portia and Rosie Nip/Tuck'd, More Casting News

Portia de Rossi by Joseph Viles/Fox There's a run on lesbians at FX's Nip /Tuck. On the heels of Access Hollywood's report that Rosie O'Donnell will reprise her role of lottery winner Dawn Budge for several episodes this season comes word that Arrested Development alumna (and GF of Ellen DeGeneres) Portia de Rossi will play a manipulative (and gay at that) mom whose teen daughter wants to go under the knife. Also, says the Hollywood Reporter, Huff's Oliver Platt (not a lesbian) will appear in five episodes as the producer of a TV show on which Sean and Christian are consultants. In other casting news, Sophia Myles will return to her Underworld: Evolution roots, replacing Shannon Lucio as the love interest for Alex O'Laughlin's vampire in the new CBS drama Moonlight.

Sophia Myles on Moonlight also makes sense since it fits in with the new unwritten rule that all series leads next season must sport fake American accents.

I hate "Nip/Tuck" (too creepy), but I love Portia de Rossi. Tough decision. I was waiting to see what she'd do after "Arrested Development," wish she'd chosen something else. Oh well. It's a well-written show even if I have a hard time watching it.

I loved Portia on Arrested Development, Im watching reruns of AD on the Canadian channel. Anyway she is going to be great on Nip/Tuck, and as for Rosie......I thought she was going to get a spin off show on her Dawn character. What happened to that?

Not a fan of the show and probably won't watch...even for Portia (Love her!)

My comment relates to the the author's use of term "girlfriend" (i.e., "GF of Ellen DeGeneres") to describe Portia's relationship with Ellen. Isn't that a bit dismissive and slanted? Ellen and Portia are much more than girlfriends; they are a couple! No, they aren't married, but that doesn't change the depth of their union. Would the same terminology be used for other non-married couples, such as Kurt and Goldie? JHMO.
