The word on the streets of cutting edge TV is that Joely Richardson’s character on Nip/Tuck is going to have a lovah this season, but it’s not your typical affair.

The British actress will bed openly gay Portia in the upcoming series of the hit US plastic surgery drama, after her character Julia McNamara falls for the mother of a boob job patient, played by the former Ally McBeal star.

The pair’s scenes so far are said to be so explicit that even crew members used to the series’ frequent sexual storylines have been shocked.

An on set source said: "Portia’s character is going to be involved in a torrid relationship with Joely’s character over about 10 episodes.

"It’s going to be shocking stuff. So far, the pair’s sex scenes have been wild. Even the crew have been shocked by what they have seen."

Having trouble concentrating now? Just picture Portia with Ellen. Yeah, we thought that would do the trick.

TMZ just posted this photo and, unfortunately, the cuts and bruises were not the result of a long overdue catfight between Rosie and Elizabeth Hassel-butt.

Not to worry, Ro-maniacs: O’Donnell is just fine. Vlogging from her trailer on the set of the FX’s "Nip/Tuck," she gave a preview of what her character, Dawn Budge, will look like. Rosie even gets into character, lamenting, "I can’t believe what happened to my face!"

Really? ‘Cuz this is actually an improvement. The rest of the cast and crew are probably in negotiations to have her jaw wired shut.
