| Kirkland Baker Joins Desperate Housewives |
 In an attempt to improve and perk up the story lines that surround Wisteria Lane, ABC welcomes an additional asset who would do just that. Kirkland Baker, famed for her work on Frasier, will come on board on ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning comedy-drama series, Desperate Housewives, as a co-executive producer. She will be joining fellow Frasier alums Anne Flett-Giordano and Chuck Ranberg, who also will work as co-executive producers on Desperate Housewives on the upcoming season.
Desperate Housewives has gained much critical acclaim since it premiered in October 2004, evident in its numerous awards and nominations such as Golden Globe’s Best TV Series: Musical or Comedy, and Screen Actors Guild’s Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Whether it’s the talented actors, the dramatic plot or the artistic direction, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly just what has caused the success of Desperate Housewives.
At any rate, it would be interesting to see what the combined efforts of Kirkland, Flett-Giordano and Ranberg, could do. Will they be able to bring the same kind of comedic tone and success to Desperate Housewives that garnered 39 Emmy awards for Frasier? Fans will just have to wait for season four to find out.

Polly Bergen Cast As Lynnette's Mom
on Desperate Housewives |
May sweeps are just around the corner and that means stunt casting in TV land. Polly Bergen who played Gina Davis' Madame President's mom on ABC's "Commander In Chief" last season is coming to "Desperate Housewives" as a very, very different kind of mom.
According to TV Guide, Bergen who makes her first appearance in the May 20 season finale episode, will come to "help Lynette deal with a life-threatening health crisis" (so perhaps Susan isn't the one who gets cancer after all).
According to the actress "She shows up smoking and drinking; it should be a really fun character."
Meanwhile, as previously announced, M*A*S*H veteran Mike Farrell has been tapped to play Victor's billionaire dad (and Gaby's soon-to-be father-in-law).

to Desperate Housewives |
Actress Marcia Cross, who is seen here going to the Farmer's Market with her husband Tom Mahoney and their twins on the weekend, is coming back to the "Desperate Housewives" set to film the season finale episode.
Following a 3-month hiatus (which seemed like a little over a month in the show's universe thanks to all the pre-empetions) Cross and her on-screen husband Kyle McLachlan return from their honeymoom for Gaby and Victor's lavish May wedding.

| Jesse Metcalfe gets Dumped |
Jesse Metcalfe has been dumped by girlfriend Nadine Coyle after he was caught sharing a passionate embrace with another girl.
The Girls Aloud singer was furious after seeing photographs of the
‘Desperate Housewives’ actor cuddling a mystery brunette in Los Angeles
while she was working in Britain.
Nadine, who stuck by Jesse as he battled alcohol addiction during his recent
stint in rehab, decided she would not tolerate his actions and called off
their romance.
She told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “It’s over between me and Jesse.
I’m not the kind of girl to put up with nonsense like that.
“I’m disappointed, but what can I do? There’s no point hanging on when it
gets to this stage.”
Last month, it was claimed Jesse was ready to propose to Nadine, after
dating her for just over a year.

| Eva Longoria's Bridal Shower |
Bride-to-be Eva Longoria celebrated her wedding shower alongside her Desperate Housewives co-stars, with Teri Hatcher making a surprise appearance in a toilet paper frock to honour the occasion.
Embracing the spirit of the day, Hatcher joined some other unmarried guests in a competition to create the most fabulous loo roll wedding gown. Longoria played judge, playfully choosing Teri as the winner.
It appears that Longoria and Hatcher, 42, have buried the hatchet - the stars were rumoured to be feuding after Hatcher began dating Longoria’s ex-boyfriend, director Stephen Kay in November.
The star-studded party was held at Felicity Huffman’s pad in the Hollywood Hills, with the guest list also featuring Longoria’s other onscreen pals Nicollette Sheridan and new mum Marcia Cross.

Henderson: "Desperate Housewives
Need To Socialize More" |
 Josh Henderson believes tension among his female co-stars may have arisen because they never socialize off-set.
The actor, who plays Austin McCan in the hit show, says his co-stars, including Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria, only ever interact during filming or at work-related events.
He says, "I get asked about the tensions a lot. I've really never seen any problems or trauma. You know, the girls all have their own lives. They have boyfriends or families, so I suppose they don't hang out much as friends. But they're always going to parties and work-related nights out with the rest of the cast and they get on fine."

Meanwhile in other news, Longoria said that she's now being taken too seriously in the acting world reported The Gossip Girls.
"Probably 80 percent of the scripts I get are dramatic," said Longoria. "I've had very few sexy offers, to the point that I'm getting annoyed and going 'Hey! Where's the sexy stuff?' I'm going with the sexy roles for a long as I can, because women have an expiration date in this business.'"
