London: Outspoken actress and former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell is trying to convince her friend Madonna to direct an episode of the plastic surgery drama "Nip/Tuck" after playing a recurring role on the show.

Contactmusic.com reports that O'Donnell has played a lottery winner on a few episodes of the show, since she made a naked debut in 2006. She now wants her friend Madonna on the set.

Kelly Carlson, who appears regularly on the show, said: "Madonna's been approached because Rosie is on our show and they're very good friends. I've begged the producers to get her on the show. She has such a great mind for stuff like this that I think she'd be a great director for an episode. I would also love to have Madonna on as a character."
