Desperate Housewives

The Oscars don’t have much to do with television, so a lot of our favorites from “Desperate Housewives” weren’t in attendance. However, the parties had a few of our stars come out in their red carpet best. Marcia, of course, was busy elsewhere. Felicity put in an appearance at the Independent Spirit awards the day before, but not at any of the Oscar parties, unfortunately.

James Denton and his wife Erin O’Brien Denton showed up at Elton John’s big bash to benefit AIDS awareness. I don’t know what kind of car that is that they’re posing in front of, but it looks pretty hawt, don’t you think? I saw a quick interview with James last night as he arrived at the party and he seemed so happy to be invited and like he was a very big fan of Elton’s. Well… who isn’t?

Kyle MacLachlan and his wife Desiree Gruber showed up at the Vanity Fair party (which I heard was the best of the best, last night). I’m feeling a lot better about Orson on “Desperate Housewives” now that we know he’s not a psycho murderer so the feeling has transferred to Kyle as well. And he does look fine in a tux, doesn’t he?

Nicolette also showed up at the Vanity Fair bash with her main squeeze, Michael Bolton. I also caught a bit of an interview with them at the arrivals. She looked good in her dress, but I must admit she always seems to wear the same kind of dress. She doesn’t seem to try much new in the red carpet fashion arena. Slinky and revealing is her MO. But it works, right?

All in all, it must be fun to be able to just enjoy Oscar night, without having to worry about being nominated for an award or deal with much fanfare and hoopla. I think it’d be fun to be able to just get duded up and go out to one of the parties and rock the night away.
