Desperate Housewives

Good morning, everyone! So, I know this may be a little bit late, but I am here to give you the scoop on Teri Hatcher’s interview with David Letterman. You can see the full video of it below. Underneath the clip, I’ll summarize it for ya in case you can’t see it for whatever reason.

So, the interview started off much like her appearance on The View a day or so before. He asked about her Thanksgiving plans and she told him that she had already had her big family celebration, so she was going to spend the day in New York with friends, getting a massage. One of the odd moments (which has gotten her some press lately) came when talk turned to the Election. Apparently, a picture came out with a caption stating she desperately needed new underwear. This just happened to appear on the same page as the election map, so now Teri associates the night with her need to get new underwear.

One of the best parts was when she discussed going on Safari with her daughter, Emerson. She showed some awesome pictures of the land and the animals, taking the opportunity to fill Dave in on how you can tell a Cheetah from a Leopard. Leopards have “black tears” (when she see the video, you’ll know what that means). According to legend, they got this after a Leopard lost it’s cub. The things you learn from a TV interview, huh?

Overall, a pretty good interview. Also, the underwear moment was less stupid and odd than the news stories led me to believe. That’s all for now. Take care and see you again on Monday!

Good morning and happy thanksgiving, everyone!! We’re actually going out this year, so I guess I can say I’m thankful I’m not cooking today. Before I head out, I thought I’d stop in and share what the residents of Wysteria Lane are grateful for. Check it out:

Bree: I’m thankful that it wasn’t me on that tape and Andrew hasn’t told me how he got it back.

Tom: I’m thankful that I got a new guitar… I was bummed when Penny broke the old one.

Dave: I’m grateful that the people on this street seem very stupid and that the only one with any smarts is out of town now.

Gabrielle: I’m really thankful that they didn’t give me the statutory rape story again this time. Of course, I’d be even more thankful if that creepy old lady would just keep us in the will.

Mike: I’ll be thankful if the writers don’t make me the target of a crazy person again.

Katherine: I second that one… I finally got something going on here and the writers better not screw it up. After last season, you owe me.

Andrew: I’m thankful when Danielle visits… she’s a great source of comic relief.

So, there you have it- a list of what some of the residents are grateful for this year. I thought I’d finish off with a quick recap of Teri Hatcher on The View yesterday. Basically, they did a lot of talking about the holidays. Teri actually cooked dinner for about 40 people earlier in the week (she had Thanksgiving early cause of the custody arrangement with her daughter.) Turns out she’s very crafty, too. She made Halloween costumes for Emerson and a couple of her friends this year. Susan she is most definitely not! They also discussed Gale a little bit, who is continuing to recover nicely. She said they’re hoping he comes back soon (same here, Teri), although she does seem to be all for a Susan/Mike pairing in the end. They also aired the preview clip I shared the other day. It has Susan and Mike in the hospital and she’s slowly beginning to realize he’s seeing someone, although she doesn’t know who. You can see it all yourself here, courtesy of one of my fellow bloggers.

Well, that’s all for today. Take care and have a great holiday!

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!

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!

Good morning, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well this morning and ready for some more good news about our favorite show. Remember awhile back when Desperate Housewives didn’t get much love from the Emmys? Well, that’s about to change some. Marcia Cross, Dana Delany, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher and Nicollette Sheridan are scheduled to take part in the show. They’ll be presenting something together during the ceremony.

There’s no word on what category or segment the girls are scheduled for, but here’s what is known. The show is going to air live on September 21st on ABC. It will be held at the NOKIA Theatre in LA and air from 8 to 11 PM eastern time. For those of you who were paying attention, that’s only one week before the new season starts. Not a bad way to kick things off, huh?

Eva and Teri have both had some awards show experience lately. Eva produced and hosted the ALMAs and Teri took part in the TV Land Awards over the show’s hiatus. Speaking of Eva at the ALMAs…. did anyone see pictures of the event? It’s insane…. she must’ve had about 10 costume changes during the night. I posted one of them yesterday. Here are a couple more:

Here’s one of my favorite dresses she wore. What can I say? I love simple black dresses. There’s a reason these never go out of style.

And this one shows Eva performing onstage during the event with Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas. I love the expressions on their faces… they look like they’re having the time of their lives. Well, I’d better be going now. Catch y’all again on Monday with new news and recaps. Have a great weekend!

So, I know I may be behind the curve, but I have only just recently started reading Teri Hatcher’s book “Burnt Toast and Other Philosophies of Life”. I have to say that I am enjoying in very much. It’s a bit more self-help than I was expecting, but still a very entertaining read. It isn’t all self-help, though. She also shares quite a few interesting stories about her life.

A couple stories she told in particular got my attention. One was during a section where she went into dating disasters (I’m sure most of us can relate to that). A certain guy she’d been introduced to was staying with a friend. They agreed to go on a date, but the date never happened. Not only that, he didn’t even call to cancel the date; her friend did. In his defense, he did have a good excuse: he was under arrest for fraud. Then there was a drug addict and a guy who decided to go back to his ex. Yes, she’s not shy about admitting she’s a loser magnet.

Another funny story was about taking chances. She went out with a guy who later became one of her best friends. During the course of the evening the car died and they had a hard time finding a ride home, so they jumped on a bus that ended up taking them close to an airport. Deciding to be spontaneous, they hop a flight to Vegas only to have a horrible time. Still, she was glad they did that. It was an adventure for her.

The book portrays Teri as being a very normal and fun person with a boatload of insecurity despite her fame. I think that’s something we all relate to. I recommend picking this one up… she’s a riot in it and she makes a lot of good points. It certainly shows one thing- she’s much more domestic and together than her TV counterpart.

Well, that’s all for now. See y’all next time for more dish about the ladies and men of Wysteria Lane. Take care!

Hello again! It’s time once more to dish about our favorite show and the actors. Now, I know this isn’t as exciting as all the baby news lately (although stay tuned- Eva recently said she can’t wait to have kids as well. I guess all the new Desperate kids have been getting to her), but it’s still cool. Remember Band from TV was doing a show on the 26th? Well, I’ve got some pictures to share with you. Let’s start at the beginning, huh?

Here is Teri and James outside the venue before the performance. I love this casual look they have going on and how comfortable they seem to be together. Makes me wonder how they’re going to play being warring exes.

This next picture is, obviously, Teri on stage performing a number. She wasn’t all that bad on that Idol Gives Back special and she really seems to put some passion and acting into these singing gigs with the band. She may never get a record deal and win Grammy awards, but she’s doing a respectable job of playing singer for a good cause.

Finally… this is my favorite picture of them all. James is looking great while playing that guitar and Teri is grinning ear to ear like she’s having the time of her life. Judging by this and her book (more on that another time), she seems to be a really cool person who is genuinely grateful for her second chance and is living that up while it’s here. James, meanwhile, looking totally at home being a guitar hero. It should be fun to see where this group goes from here.

The gig was held in Fullerton, California at the Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Stadium. According to the official site, their next performance will be August 9th on the grounds of the Autry National Center in LA. California residents… get moving if you wanna see this! It’s an outdoor show and will take place at 7 PM. As you may remember, Band From TV features actors from shows such as House, Cashmere Mafia and Alias, among others. Well, that’s all for now. Take care and I’ll see ya next time!

Good morning, guys! It seems like the Desperate Housewives people are all over the news today. Don’t you just love pre-TV season? Before we know it, they’ll be popping up on talk shows and the like, too. Anyway… let’s start with another update on the SAG situation.

The actors are mad, and they aren’t gonna take it anymore! 31 SAG members, including our own Doug Savant, have decided they’ve had enough of the war with AFTRA and the Producer’s stalemate and they’ve decided to take action. They have called their group “Unite for Strength” and have demanded that SAG leadership allow members to vote on the deal Producers offered recently. Some, if not most of them, will also be running for positions of power in the union as well. They feel the war with AFTRA has done nothing but hurt everyone and want to get a deal finalized. The positions in question are going to be voted on by September 19th. This all comes after a talk between SAG and the Producers failed to do well… anything on July 16th. I say good luck to them and go for it! It’s about time someone puts a stop to this mess.

Teri Hatcher is among the first of the main Housewives to make the promotional rounds. Hatcher recently sat down with ET to talk about the new season of the show. She said she and Mike will be sharing custody of their son and that Susan has a more “pulled-together personality”. Sounds like we won’t be seeing Susan accidently looking herself out of the house again (or little Maynard into a moving van) and other such clumsy moves. I guess we’ll know for sure in September. Teri is also keeping busy with Band from TV. They’ll be playing again on July 26th, entertaining the crowd at a Fullerton Flyers game. Coincidently, our own James Denton is not only in the band, he owns the team! I didn’t realize that… looks like owning a sports team is a big thing in Hollywood and the Music business.

Finally… the Housewives stars are taking over TV! Lee Tergeson, who you may remember as Bree’s AA Sponsor/former love interest, has become the latest former/current cast member to join a TV show. He’ll be on an HBO series about the Irag War called Generation Kill. Congrats to him!

Talk about beating a dead horse! Dana Delaney, the newest official housewife recently gave an interview where there was nothing new covered! Apparently, they actually asked her about that now-infamous Vanity Fair shoot early in the show’s run. She, of course, denied there were any issues among them now and everyone gets along fine. What I want to know is… why do people even bother asking about that anymore? Have they not seen the pictures out there of the cast being totally friendly with each other? With no new reports of tension either, I wonder why some reporters are so, excuse the pun, desperate to keep that particular one going. She also yet again discussed being the first choice for Bree and trying not to kick herself for turning it down. Either they threw about of stuff together because it was a slow news day or there is a reporter out there somewhere who seriously needs to start doing their research.

In other news, SAG and the Studios are at a stalemate right now. Apparently, the producer’s final offer was not to SAG’s liking and they spent several hours discussing the issue with no resolution. Members of the other union, AFTRA, voted to approve their separate deal with producers earlier this week. So far, everyone is still committed to working. I’ll bring you more on the story as it’s available.

Finally… let’s turn to the TV to see where you can see some of the cast while you’re waiting for new episodes. Teri Hatcher is in Tomorrow Never Dies, airing on SPIKE. She plays an ex-girlfriend of Bond who is now someone’s trophy wife. It airs on the 19th at 9:30 AM eastern. Marcia Cross, meanwhile, can be seen on Lifetime Movie Network on the 17th at 10 AM eastern. The movie is called Living in Fear and features our favorite overzealous housewife as the wife of a man who returns to his hometown after 20 years to find a whole lot of drama going on. Keep an eye out also for a young Doug Savant. He has a part in the movie Teen Wolf. That will air on the 15th at 7:45 AM eastern on AMC.

Well, that’s all for now. See you all later with more recaps!

Hey, Housewives fans! I hope you guys had a great weekend and are as ready as I am to get back to talking our favorite show. First, I just want to say thanks to everyone who’s posted a comment lately and I look forward to getting to chat some more. Now… let’s dish, huh?

It’s been pretty quiet on the Housewives front the past few days. Hopefully that will start changing soon as the cast is scheduled to start filming today. Still, there are a couple of things going on. First off, continuing the Housewives tradition of getting involved in good causes, Teri Hatcher recently made a trip to Tanzania with her daughter to benefit Americashare. During their two week stay, the pair kicked off a penpal exchange with Emerson’s school as well as dropping off over 30 grand in supplies and donations. Talk about a productive trip! Americashare helps people in the area who are suffering from poverty as well as HIV/AIDS.

Teri isn’t the only do-gooder on the cast, though. Eva and Felicity, along with many other celebs, have come together in support of the “Burma- It Can’t Wait” campaign. The organization is working to secure the human rights of the people of Burma as well as its jailed would-be leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Check out a video that features many celebs, including Felicity. You can see more with her and Eva on the organization’s website.

On a lighter note, don’t forget to catch Ricardo on George Lopez if you haven’t seen it already. It will air on Nick at 10 PM on July 9th. I know I’ll be there! Well, I guess that’s about all for today. I wanna leave you with yet another video for anyone who may not have gotten to see this the first time around. It’s Teri Hatcher and Banned from TV performing “Before He Cheats” on Idol Gives Back. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by her performance. What do you all think? Til next time… take care!

Hello, out there! There is so much to catch up on in my absence, I barely know where to start! I guess let’s get the latest out of the way, shall we? First all, there’s Felicity Huffman. She’s going to be one of the lucky few to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2009. Each year, 25 people in all are scheduled to get one, including John Stamos (Full House/ER), William Petersen(CSI) and Harry Shearer (The Simpsons). Go her… this seems to be a big year for her getting honors. Not only did she get that award at the Maui Film Festival, she’s also been put on the Emmy short list.

Speaking of the Emmys… Desperate Housewives was not put on the short list for best series, so there will be no nod for the show this award season. However, Felicity, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria were. Very notably missing is Teri Hatcher. The ladies will be going against Tina Fey, America Ferrera, Christina Applegate, Mary-Louise Parker, Sarah Silverman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Anna Friel for a nomination and possible Emmy win. Good luck to the Wysteria gang… they had a great year.

Finally, my childhood is getting defiled more each day. Remember Mario Lopez from Saved by the Bell? Well, he wants you to! The former Saturday morning star who is now more famous for his womanizing and not-so-nice ways has struck again! This time, he’s talking to the press about how he is upset he and Eva Longoria never got together. He said they have known each other for years, but never hooked up because they were never both single at the same time. Like that’s stopped him before… He goes on to say that he’s jealous of Tony Parker and he’s a “lucky guy”. Ain’t he a peach? I wonder how Mr. Parker feels about this sudden development.

Well, I’m out of here. I’ll be back with some casting tidbits later. For now… take care!

Good morning, everyone! I hope you guys had a great weekend. Me? I found myself in serious need of a Mike in my neighborhood. As I type this, a plumber is in the other room replacing a water heater that died out on us. I hope Wysteria Lane appreciates what they’ve got!

Anyway… actual news about the show is, of course, slow right now. Still, the actors are keeping themselves busy with all kinds of events. This first picture shows Teri Hatcher at the TV land Awards on June 8. She was there to present the Innovation Award. The event was held in Santa Monica and hosted by Vanessa Williams. You can see it all for yourself when the event airs on June 15th.

On the same day, Marcia Cross attended the “A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival”. The event was a fund-raiser for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS foundation. Looks like she was having a great time to me!

Finally, we come to Eva Longoria. She was at the CFDA Fashion Awards on June 2nd. The event was held at the New York Public Library and was crawling with fashionable stars. Here she is with husband Tony Parker, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and fashion designer Marc Jacobs. Is it just me, or does Eva seem to like the color pink? Ah, well. They’re looking good and I’m feeling properly inferior.

Well, I guess that’s about it for today. I’ll be bringing you a look back at some more episodes from the first season this week as well some other cool stuff. Until then, take care and have a good one!

Good morning, everyone! I thought today I’d fill you in on where you can see some of the cast on TV. Most of the main housewives have appearances coming up.

First off, let’s talk Teri Hatcher. Tuesday, June 10, you can see her on VH1’s “The Fabulous Life Of…” series. That comes on at 2AM eastern, so set those VCRs! If you’re looking for something more kid-centric, tune into Toon Disney on the 11th at 5 PM and 7:30 PM eastern to see Spy Kids. Finally, tune into Sci Fi channel on June 14th to catch her in Momentum. It’s about some men stealing cars using the power of telekinesis. Teri plays an FBI agent on the case who doesn’t buy into the supernatural thing. Set those VCRs if you’re not a night owl, though. It airs at 3 AM.

Felicity Huffman is in a couple movies on TV as well. First up is Georgia Rule, which airs on HBO East tonight at 8 PM. It will also air June 14th at 4 in the morning. She plays Lindsay Lohan’s alcoholic mother in the film. She’ll also be in Raising Helen, where she plays a woman who dies in a car accident, leaving her sister to raise her children. That will air on AMC at 10:30 PM, June 10th.

Finally, there’s Andrea Bowen. She stars in the Lifetime movie Girl, Positive on June 11th at 9 PM. In the movie, she plays a teenager who discovers she’s been infected with HIV. Warning to you viewers out there… it’s filmed in a kind of odd way with IM windows, computer cameras and all delivering some of the action. If you’re easily bothered by the fast-paced MTV-style filming, you may have issues with this one. Still, it’s a pretty decent story and Andrea does well in it. Check out this clip below to get a taste of the movie.

Well, that’s all for now. Til we meet again, take care!

Good morning, everyone! I’ve got some news to share, but first things first. I was browsing youtube when I came across a clip from season one, episode 11 (”Move On”). For anyone who can’t see the clip properly, let me set the scene….

Susan, Karl, Mike, Julie and some of her friends are at a karaoke bar, watching Julie and a couple other girls sing. As Julie and the girls decide to leave and go check out a dance floor on the second floor, Edie shows up. Needless to say, Susan is not very happy. Karl tells her if she can bring Mike, he can bring her. Edie is called and she gets up to sing “I’ve Never Been to Me”. When she gets back, she ends up blabbing about a drunken kiss and she Karl had shared a few years before. Susan, who is obviously mad about this, gets called up to sing and she ends up losing it right in the middle of her song.

What makes the scene for me is Teri’s delivery of her rant against Karl in between the lyrics of “New York, New York”. She manages to do it all without missing a beat and I love that Teri isn’t afraid to look silly for the sake of a good bit. Here it is:

In other Housewives news, we have a reunion of the moms in the works. Leslie Ann Warren, who played Susan’s mother, is now playing the lead character’s mom on the new USA series In Plain Sight. Nichole Hiltz, who was Lily’s birth mother on Housewives, will be playing the lead’s sister. Kinda cool, huh? It’s a show about a woman who works for the witness protection program.

Finally, Felicity Huffman also has a new part in the works. She’s signed on to star in a movie version of the British miniseries The Politician’s Wife. It’s about a woman who plots her revenge after her husband has an affair. Hmm… sounds a bit like Lynette to me. She did make threats before about what she’d do if Tom ever strayed. Well, that’s about all for now. Take care and I’ll see you next time!

Good morning, everyone. Hope you’re all enjoying the holiday weekend. Since we’re back to seeing reruns again, I thought I’d take some time to talk about the Season 1 DVD set for those who don’t have it. I got the chance to borrow it recently and I’m enjoying it a lot. It has, of course, all the episodes plus some great features. There are interviews, commentary, behind-the-scenes stuff and more.

One of my favorite features is “Oprah Winfrey is the New Neighbor”. It’s a skit in which Winfrey plays Karen Stofer, a woman longing for a simpler life away from the big city and the pressures of a running huge company. Guess she didn’t check out the area carefully enough… Anyway, the skit briefly features the Housewives themselves introducing themselves to her. Once they leave, Karen decides to go to the store and get some sugar so she can make a special dessert in honor of their first night in a new home. Her husband talks her into borrowing some from the neighbors because “people in the suburbs live for that stuff.”

Oprah then goes on a mission to get sugar, getting spliced into scenes from the first season. She interacts with Susan after she was locked out of the house naked, watches Lynette yelling at the kids and other stuff. She runs home to tell her husband there is something very wrong with this neighborhood. Later, she goes on a walk and comes across a sight that causes her to demand they leave immediately.

I thought it was pretty amusing to see a relatively normal person getting thrown into the world of Wysteria Lane and realizing these people are seriously messed up… but isn’t that the fun of the show? Well, I’m out of here. There’s plenty more of the way this week, so stay tuned!
