A TOUCHDOWN FOR ROSIE?: Rosie O’Donnell may be gone from “The View,” but she’s definitely not through with the small screen. Along with reprising her role as Dawn Budge on FX’s “Nip/Tuck,” she may also be lacing up some cleats for an appearance on NBC’s football drama, “Friday Night Lights.” “Rosie’s a big fan of ‘Friday Night Lights,’ as we know from ‘The View,’ and we heard she was interested in being on the show,” executive producer Jason Katims reportedly told . “Usually we don’t do any stunt casting, but we have a character coming up — six or seven episodes into the new season; of a female soccer coach who is really angry about all of the school’s resources going to football. It’s a really funny character and I think she’d be perfect for it.” While Katims stressed that Rosie’s appearance would only be for one episode, he said that “if she comes out, loves doing it, and wants to do more, she could do it.” O’Donnell’s rep, Cindi Berger, told Ausiello that there are “no definitive plans,” but confirmed that the wheels are in motion. “They are in talks and she loves the show,” she said. As for Rosie herself: she responded to two different fan questions regarding an “FNL” appearance on her , writing “sure would,” and “if they ask me, yes.” Our own Dish of Salt, Laura Saltman spoke to “FNL” stars Zach Gilford and Scott Porter at this week’s NBC press event, and they said the cast sent Rosie a gift basket full of footballs to thank her for being such a vocal fan of the show when she was on “The View.” Additionally, Laura overheard NBC Entertainment Co-Chairman, Ben Silverman, telling the cast of “Friday Night Lights” he could try and get his friend Lance Armstrong on the show!
