Desperate Housewives

NOTE: Sorry about the delay today. I couldn’t log in to word press for some reason.

Hello, again. I just got an e-mail sent to me through the blog with some Eva news I want to share with you all. You may have heard me mention before about Eva being involved in PADRES Contra El Cancer. Well, just the other day, she was on hand to accept a big donation from AT&T for the charity. They raised $200,000 for PADRES by accepting donations from customers at their stores. They also encouraged people to use some of their cash back bonuses for the donations as well. This is the third year in a row that AT&T has helped the program.

PADRES is an organization that helps families with children suffering from childhood cancer by offering support and helping to improve their quality of life. It also offers them information about the disease, blood marrow drives and an ask the doctor program. They also help the kids by holding parties, fairs and other events so they can have a little fun and forget about being sick for a little while.

Eva is also going to be participating in ‘Stand For Hope’ on March 21st at the LA Memorial Coliseum. It’s a run/walk event to raise funds for the organization. There will also be entertainment, raffles and celebrities there. If you want to learn more about PADRES or participate in the Run/Walk, visit their website. You’ll also be able to see more pictures and video from the AT&T event.

Well, that’s it for now. Take care and I’ll see ya next time.

Good morning, everyone! How are you all doing? Today, I wanna share some of my favorite lines from the latest episode. Here they are…

Tom (to the kids, after Porter asks Tom to make Lynette let him leave): Anyone who thinks I have the power to make your mother do anything, raise you hands.

Bree (to Andrew, after she finds out about him and Alex): Did you think I would disapprove? The man’s a doctor, for Heaven’s sake. You did better than I did!
Orson: That was a bit of a driveby…

Tom (to Porter, after Porter says he was at Edie’s at the time of the fire): Please tell me you’re not having sex with her too! What’s wrong with girls your own age? Do you know what I’d give to date a 17-year-old?
Lynette: Ok, we’re gonna talk about that later.

Lynette (to Porter about his alibi): That is not an alibi! It’s a confession to another crime.

Gabby (seeing his black out glasses are not on): Damn it, Carlos! You moron!
Carlos (to Susan and Bree): Ah, I hear a voice from Heaven now.

Gabby (trying to justify selling Carlos’ baseball): The car needed new tires! How was I supposed to know he’d get his sight back? Of all the rotten luck!

Lee (after finding out Alex’s profession): A plastic surgeon? Hear that Bob?
Bob: I like my eyes the way they are.
Lee: You’re so touchy.

Gabby: I didn’t sell your watch!
Carlos: Only because you couldn’t get it off my wrist, you little thief!

Carlos (to Gabby): You might want to lower the middle finger. I can see now, remember?

Edie (to MJ): Your mommy lashes out at people prettier than her. Did you notice that?

So, do you all agree with what I picked? Did I leave a favorite of yours out? Comment and let me know! For now, I gotta head out. Take care and see ya next time! I leave you with a picture of Eva from the premiere of The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. I was held yesterday at the Manns Village Theater in LA.

Good morning, everyone!! How are y’all? I thought today I’d share some TV listing with you so you can see some of your favorites in other roles. Let’s start with something that fits the season shall we?

Felicity Huffman stars in the movie Christmas With the Kranks along side Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. They play a couple who decide to cancel Christmas and go on a cruise instead only to be faced with neighborhood protests. Felicity plays a character named “Merry”. It airs on FX today at 5 PM and again at 9 PM.

Think you know Eva Longoria? A new show called Celebrity Says will put that to the test. It’s described as a game show that uses red carpet quotes and footage to test people’s knowledge of actors. That airs on the TV Guide Channel at 11 AM on December 1st.

Teri Hatcher is paying another visit to The View (the Housewives seem to love this show) on November 26th, just in time for the new episode airing on the 30th. That airs on ABC at 11AM.

Finally… let’s talk about someone who is new to Wysteria Lane: Lily Tomlin. She’s the guest star on several reruns in the next couple days. Today, at 11AM, she’ll be on Will and Grace (Lifetime). Tomorrow, she’s the guest on Murphy Brown at 5AM on TV Land. On the 23rd, she’s in the movie The Beverly Hillbillies, airing on Fox Movie Channel at 4:45 PM. For those of you who don’t know the actress very well, here’s your chance to catch up. She’s the subject of an episode of Biography airing at 1 PM on the Bio Channel.

Well, there you go… where you can see the Housewives this week. Take care and I’ll see y’all next time. I leave you with a clip of an interview with Lily and Kathryn Joosten. Beware, cause I haven’t been able to watch it- could be spoilery. I’ll post again later once I get a chance to watch it and let ya know if it’s safe.

Apparently, Eva Longoria-Parker is not letting Gabrielle Solis’ more low-key situation cramp her own style. Allure magazine recently held a party in her honor at her restaurant, Beso, and the guest list was anything but typical. Supermodels like Heidi Klum mingled with her own Housewives co-stars during the event. Of course, Victoria Beckham was also there. Y’all might remember several accounts of those two hanging out together from earlier posts on this blog.

The event was in honor of Eva, but it wasn’t all singing her praises. Felicity Huffman got up and teased Eva about her drinking habits, joking that she hoped they could “keep her off the sauce” for the night. Gotta love a good roast, huh? They also shared some well wishes for co-star Gale Harold, adding that he’s on the mend and they hope to see him back real soon. So do I. He’s awesome and makes me like Susan just a little. Kyle MacLachlan also had some news to share: he’s going to have his own wine! It’ll be called Pursued by Bear. As soon as more information comes out about it, I’ll pass it along.

And finally… here’s a little spoilery information from the event. Don’t go any further if you don’t want to know! If you’re tuning out now, see ya next time! I hope you’ll check out one of the other blogs around here before you sign off the network. (more…)

Good morning, everyone!! Well, Gale Harold fans…. there’s not a whole lot to say right now. No new reports have been released regarding his condition. There is, however, a statement by fellow actor Scott Lowell that came out on his official site the other day. Lowell says that out of respect for Gale’s privacy, all he’ll say is the actor is making improvements every day and he’s surrounded by love and support. He asks for the well wishes to keep on coming. Lowell co-starred with Gale on Queer as Folk.

Like Jesse Metcalfe? Well, according to the rumor mill, you just might be seeing him on TV soon. Well, in Britain, anyway. Some reports are saying he’s set to appear on the new season of the reality show I’m a celebrity… get me out of here. There was an American version that aried here for a couple seasons as well. Guess America didn’t feel like making a hit out of every reality import that comes here. If he does end up appearing, it wouldn’t be a total surprise, since he had an off-and-on relationship with a member of British girl group Girls Aloud.

Finally, it’s rumored that Eva has also said she’s interested in getting into the fashion biz with her own line. She supposedly credited that to buddy Victoria Beckham during a radio interview. I’ll let you know if anything comes of it. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is true, either. It seems like it’s practically a law now for stars to develop fashion and accessory lines.

Well, that’s all for now. Take care and I’ll see ya tomorrow!!

Good morning everyone!! I hope you’re all ready for the weekend and a new Housewives episode… I know I am. In the meantime, let’s talk some news…

There are plenty of new faces coming to Wysteria Lane this year and they’re not done adding people yet! This time, we’re going to have Rachael Harris coming on the show in a guest spot. She’ll be playing a reporter who interviews Bree, according to Entertainment Weekly. I, for one, am thrilled! I loved her when she did the commentary for VH1’s “I Love The…” Specials (even though I think those are going way too far now. Can we wait for the first decade of the new millennium to end at least before we start getting all nostalgic about it?). She’s done much more than that, though. She’s a member of the famous Groundlings improv group and has guest starred on shows like “SeaQuest DSV”, “Star Trek: Voyager”, “The Daily Show”, “Monk” and “Fat Actress”. She’s also appeared on “Notes from the Underbelly”, a sitcom on ABC, as Cooper.

Eva Longoria is looking to get out the vote this year. I’m sure y’all remember that she was part of a political even surrounding the Democratic convention. This time, she’s going to be speaking to college students about how important it is to vote. She’ll be speaking at New Mexico Starte University’s Corbet Center in Las Cruces. It’ll happen on Sunday at 11:45 in the morning. Adam Rodriquez from “CSI: Miami” will be there, as well.

Speaking of voting… SAG negotiators are looking to get SAG membership to vote authorizing a strike. They say it will give them some more power in their negotiations with producers. Can you believe they’re still trying that? I don’t get why they don’t just take the new AFTRA and other unions have. Dragging things out like this is really not doing anyone any good. I think that actors are going to be too smart to vote to strike or actually do it after the mess caused by the writer’s walk out. Come on actors…. prove me right.

Well, that’s all for now. Have a great weekend and I’ll see y’all again on Monday!

Hey, everyone… how’s it going? Don’t you just love Fridays? I know I do. Especially when there’s a new Desperate Housewives season only two days away. Get ready, guys…. the reviews have been coming in and they’re overall really good. I think this is gonna be a pretty interesting season based on the sneak peaks and reviews out there. While we’re waiting, why don’t we dish a little?

Did you know there’s such a thing as the “Desperate Housewives Disease”? According to Dana Delany, there is. She says a costume designer warned her about it when she first joined the show. Apparently, it’s code for “don’t get too caught up in losing weight” since many of the people on the show have fallen into that trap and are kind of competitive about it. Dana does say, though, that Teri is very naturally thin. I have to say, this makes me a bit sad. I hope they snap out of it before it gets too out of hand and they’re having to stage 90210-like interventions. That wasn’t the only thing Dana revealed…

Did you know she was going to play Carrie on Sex and the City? She said she was offered the part by her friend Darren Star, but turned it down because it was too similar to another part that wasn’t received very well. She’s cool with it, though. She admitted that if she’d gotten the part it would’ve made it a different show that might not have made it as big. Gotta love an actress who can admit to something like that, huh?

Finally…. Eva’s made a new friend! Recent reports have announced that Eva sent a bottle of champaign to a baseball player by the name Evan Longoria to celebrate his success. He returned the favor by sending her a Tampa Bay Rays shirt. I like that. Wonder if we’re gonna see her and Tony showing up at baseball games now…

Well, that’s all for now. Take care and see y’all Monday with our very first recap of the season.

Hey, everyone!! So, did anyone watch the Emmys this weekend? I didn’t get a chance to, but I did find some cute clips from the red carpet. This first one is Teri Hatcher talking with Lisa Rinna of the TVGuide Channel. Yet again, the whole cat fight issue gets mentioned (in a kind of joking way) because all 6 of the housewives were on stage during the show to present an award. Teri assured them none of that would happen. She couldn’t promise, however, no one would trip over their dresses. So what’s the verdict guys? Did she make the right dress choice? I’m saying yes. I think this yellow really works with her.

Now, we have Eva. She and Tony spoke with TV Guide as well. She talked about ending up late last time and missing the red carpet. I wonder, though why Lisa brought up the same question about them presenting. Teri already mentioned they’d all be on stage. Seems she could’ve used her time with Eva a little differently. Ah well. Speaking of things that could’ve been different… what is that dress Eva’s wearing? I don’t get it at all and she’s definitely not wearing that to combat all the pregnancy rumors still flying. Speaking of Eva… I was informed by someone that this company has designed a phone specially for Eva as an Emmy gift. It has her husband’s name and jersey number on it. Just go to the link and click on their photo galleries to see it. It’s kinda cute. Other guests got these as well, but the “Parker” one was given to her only.

Finally… Kathryn Joosten was recently interviewed about her win for best guest star and proved again why I like her so much. She refused to be considered in any other category cause she didn’t feel it would be right for her to try for anything other than guest star, as that is what her contract has her as. She also joked about how it’s a good thing she won, since now her two sons don’t have to fight over who will get her 2005 Emmy when she passes. There is one for each now. Of course, she still thinks they might disagree about who will get which one. She’s got a great sense of humor about her. Well, I guess that’s all for now. Check back tomorrow, cause I’ll be posting a cool photo of them onstage. Until then, take care!

Felicity, Felicity, Felicity… I’m trying to maintain the love. Really, I am. But you’re making it pretty hard. I recently saw a quote from here where she repeats Eva’s “not pregnant, just fat” line. Now, I know constant rumors about females being pregnant probably get a bit annoying in Hollywood. After all, it’s a woman’s business when she decides to announce her pregnancy, or even if she makes an announcement at all. Still, wasn’t there a better answer than this? Let me repeat what I said when Eva said this before: Eva Longoria is not fat. Even with the extra weight, she’s not even in the same universe as fat. In a world where the 90210 girls are supposedly having an intervention for being way too skinny and actresses are constantly dropping pounds until they resemble skeletons, we really shouldn’t be throwing comments around like that, even as a joke. How about a simple “not pregnant and that’s the last time this is being discussed” instead, hmm? Or just don’t respond to the questions at all. That’ll really drive the reporters nuts.

Ok, I’m stepping off the soapbox now. Sorry about that… the issue just really bugs me. In better news, guess who won at the Creative Arts Emmys? Kathryn Joosten! She won the award for “Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy”. Congrats to her!! She definitely deserves it. I love her portrayal of McClusky… I think she makes her more sympathetic or likeable then the character might normally be. Even in Karen’s earlier, grumpier days. Well, I guess that’s about it for now. See y’all next time with more dish about our favorite show. Take care!

So, I promised you guys I would recap Eva Longoria’s appearance as soon as I was able to watch it myself and am a woman of my word. Since I know there are probably quite a few out there who missed it or can’t see it on youtube, here it is!

Russell Brand (host of the VMAs) was on right before her and was actually featured quite a bit during Eva’s spot. If she had any annoyance with him, she didn’t show it. She was laughing the entire time and looked to be really enjoying herself. The hilarity started when she discussed her family hunting for food at one point. Leno made a comment that prompted her to to tell him “don’t get Peta on me”. Apparently, Brand misheard that as “pee” and spent the entire rest of the episode joking about pee while Eva cracked up at the silliness of the whole thing. That was a bit of a surprise, though… I didn’t realize Eva’s family was so down home.

Another hot topic was her anniversary and the pregnancy rumors. She talked about how they just celebrated one year not that long ago with a trip and she is absolutely not pregnant. She just gained five pounds and went from a size zero to a size one. This, of course, led to the men being all confused there even is a size zero. Frankly? I’m with them. I don’t get the sizing for women’s clothes either. I think the men’s sizing is much easier and saves them from having to drag tons of clothes of varying sizes in and out of a changing room.

Besides that, she talked about Beso and how she’s there all the time and the ALMA awards. She mentioned she’s got like 11 costume changes and how it was almost like being in a NASCAR race trying to get everything changed in time. If you want to see the awards, they air on ABC on September 12th. Check your local listings for times. For anyone who was avoiding watching the video due to spoiler fears, fear not. They didn’t really even talk about the show… the most they did was play the theme music as she entered the stage.

Well, that’s all for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all next time. Also, don’t forget to check out yesterday’s post (even if you already did)… a reader has some extra scoop about Richard’s new show he shared.

Hello, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well and ready for the weekend! I know I am. First off… I have an apology to make to y’all. I had some technical issues that prevented me from watching Eva on Leno the other night and bringing you the scoop about what happened. So instead, I’m bringing you something much better. It’s a youtube video so you can see the whole thing yourself. As soon as I am able to get to a computer where I can actually watch it, too, I’ll recap for other dial-up users like me that youtube doesn’t seem to like much. Enjoy!! Warning to all you spoiler-free people out there: As I didn’t see it yet, I can’t promise she won’t give away any plot details.

As an added bonus, check out this video below. It’s a promo for the season 4 DVDs I told you about the other day.

So, how many of you out there are considering getting the season 4 set? I’m not a huge DVD buyer, myself. I usually juse watch shows in reruns and occasionally buy a set if the show’s off the air. Still, this one is looking pretty interesting so I might actually get tempted this time- they do seem to be going a little above and beyond with this set, which I like. How about you guys? Are the special features and all a big selling point, or do you just care about the episodes only? Feel free to sound off on your own feelings about this.

Well, I guess that’s about it for today. I’ll see y’all again on Monday with more news and dish about our favorite show. I’ll even get a few recaps ready for you. Til then, take care!

Good morning all! Have I got some dish today, and it’s all about the season 4 DVD. You remember I told you about it’s release date before? Well, there’s so much more I just found out about. Looks like the powers that be have decided to work hard to make this set worth the money, considering it was a condensed season.

There’s the usual features- Marc’s favorite scenes, bloopers and some commentary. This time, though, they’ve added even more commentary to the mix. They’ve also included an alternate ending to the season finale, a feature on the men of the show and an extra disc with pilots for 3 ABC shows: Private Practice, Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. They apparently got really creative with it too. According to a review out there, there’s a booklet listing the episodes that also serves as a “realty book” for the Lane with ads related to the show (ie, Scavos Pizzeria, Lang for Mayor, etc.) I don’t know about you guys, but this sounds like a set I can actually get excited about owning. I like having series on DVD and all, but having lots of extras makes the money spent much more worth it.

Before I leave, I guess I should mention that the rumor mill is buzzing about Eva. Apparently, some are going a bit nuts because Eva went to a Sushi place and club in Vegas and had no sushi and not a sip of alcohol. Some think this means she’s pregnant. That very well could be, but I’m not ready to join in and start analyzing her stomach. Her avoiding those things could possibly be playing it extra safe, as she has been going on about wanting a kid lately. I say leave it be. If she is and she wants to announce it, let her do it when (or if) she wants to. Do you agree? Let me know! Also, feel free to share your thoughts on the DVD set as well. I’d love to hear them! Til next time, take care!

Good morning, guys!! So… you love reading recaps to get yourselves all caught up on the show. Still, you’re a little unsatisfied. After all, nothing quite beats seeing it all play out in live action right in front of you. You don’t have the DVDs, so what are you supposed to do? Well, you’re in luck!

Lifetime TV, which has been airing the series in the middle of the night here and there, has now added the series to its daytime schedule. Every day at noon, you can catch up with all the Wysteria Lane craziness from the beginning. They’ll repeat the episodes at 8 AM the following day. It all starts this week, so be sure to tune in if you’re a late addition to watching the show.

Time Warp- One of the earilest photos of the cast from the 2004 press tour.

It’s kind of interesting because part of the reason for the move is they are losing one of their more popular reruns, The Golden Girls, to another network soon. As I’m sure you all remember, Marc Cherry was involved in that show as well. I wonder how long it’ll be before they give him the chance to develop an original series for them.

By the way… get those VCRs set up! I just found out that Eva will be appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight at 11:35 PM. Check your local listings for stations and all. You can also see Eva at 10:30 tonight on a repeat of the George Lopez show. That airs on Nick. I do believe this is the first talk show appearance of the season for the ladies, so should be fun! I will, of course, be watching to fill you in on how it all goes. Until then, take care and see ya next time!!

Good morning, everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend and are all ready for some more dish! I know I am! Let’s talk appearances today, huh? The Housewives have been really busy over the past few weeks and I’m not just talking about their work on the show. They’ve been attending a bunch of different events lately. First up? Nicollette.

Not long before her announcement that she and Michael Bolton have broken up, she was spotted at the premiere for the movie “Fly Me to the Moon”. This happened in LA on August 3rd. I think she’s looking pretty good- definitely better than in some of the episodes of the show lately. The premiere was held at the Director’s Guild of America.

Marcia, meanwhile, was having a blast at the launch party for the new Pink Blackberry Curve by Verizon. The party was held on August 27th at the Intermix in LA. She definitely looks different than those recent videos of her playing with her twins in the playground. She seems to strike a nice balance between being normal and glam.

The newest addition to the cast, Dana Delany, was recently spotted at a party for the DNC. It was sponsored by Google and Vanity Fair and took place on the 28th at Exdo Event Center in Denver. Talk about commuting…

She’s not the only one, though. Eva also got her activist on in Denver recently. She attended a MySpace at the DNC. Is it just me, or is it still just so weird to see her with such short hair? Especially after all those promo pics came out featuring longer hair.

Finally, we have Teri Hatcher. She’s been busy performing occasionally with Band from TV. Here she is in LA performing at the Netflix Live! Event. Expect a whole lot more of this (and some talk show recaps) as the season premiere nears. I know I can’t wait… how about y’all? See ya next time with much more. Have a good one!

Hello again, everyone. How are y’all doing today? I hope you’re all well and ready to dish, cause I know I am. Let’s talk Eva Longoria first, shall we? There are a couple reports out there about her.

First off… apparently our Gabby has a bit of a weakness for accents. She mention of a show not long ago that she’s very upset he’s been losing his French accent, replacing it with a Texas drawl. Can’t really blame the guy, can you? I mean, they do spend quite a bit of time in Corpus Christie. How can he not be picking it up? I know I picked up an accent that still comes out once in awhile after only a couple weeks in Alabama. In other Eva news…. I guess I was right about the Housewives baby boom getting to her. There’s another report out there claiming she’s trying hard to have a baby of her own. The odd part? This came from Marc Cherry, who added Eva promised he’d be the first to know. What I want to know is… why is he talking about this instead of letting Eva do all the talking on this topic? Lord knows she’s never been too shy about it.

It’s not all fun and gossip, though. Dana Delaney’s making news for other reasons. She’s announce she’s going to be part of “Stand Up to Cancer”, airing September 5th. She said she’s getting involved because several people close to her have battled the disease and she thinks it’s time we did more to end it. Good for her! I’ll be looking forward to seeing what she does during the show. Others taking part include Balthazar Getty and America Ferrera. Well, that’s all for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all here again on Monday. Have a great weekend!!
