Desperate Housewives

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!
