| Marcia Cross: ‘I just want to be at my best’ |
In a Monday morning appearance on Good Morning America actress Marcia Cross talked about her weight gain with 3 1/2-month-old fraternal twin daughters Eden and Savannah, and her plans to take it off with the help of two personal trainers. Although all new moms feel a certain degree of pressure to return to their pre-baby form, Marcia has more incentive than most — Her hit television show Desperate Housewives resumes filming July 10.
You know, I actually do feel pressure to be back … looking the way I did before I left. But I don’t think it’s just for TV, because I would feel that way regardless, because I just want to be at my best. Maybe I wouldn’t worry about being quite so thin because the camera adds those pounds.

Teri Hatcher and James Denton Talk About
Their Desperate Housewives Wedding |
Teri Hatcher and James Denton, cast members on Desperate Housewives who play Susan Mayer and Mike Delfino, reveal their sentiments about their onscreen wedding, which will be featured on Sunday’s episode at 9/8C on ABC.
In the previous episode of Desperate Housewives, viewers learned that Susan decided to marry Mike instead of Ian, played by Dougray Scott. However, Gabby, played by Eva Longoria, took the opportunity to use Susan’s wedding to get married to Victor, played by John Slattery. Gabby offered $10,000 when Susan objected to the idea. After much arguing, the two girls eventually made up.
The question is what will now happen to Susan’s wedding? According Hatcher, Susan will get married in the forest on Sunday. "I think it is a scene that is really sweet and very simple," Hatcher has told ET Online. "After three years of waiting, I feel the audience will be satisfied. When we did the read-through of the script, Felicity [Huffman] was at the other end of the table and she went, 'Ah.' I thought, if you can make Felicity Huffman, go 'ah,' you're good."
As for Denton, he is a little worried about what will be next for Susan and Mike. He has told ET, "Unlike my marriage where the flame never died, in this TV marriage, it is something that I am concerned about. I think the writers are concerned, too, because you don't want to jump the shark. You want people to still be really fascinated with them."
On the other hand, Denton is aware that this TV marriage will bring forth a new saga to the drama. "Mike is going to be such a fish out of water with Julie [Susan’s daughter], I think there is going to be a lot of comedy from that. Plus, Mike still has a lot of stuff in his past that may come back to be a little difficult for them," he has added.

| Teri Hatcher Soaks in Wine |
Actress Teri Hatcher has found a new use for the wine she doesn’t drink - she bathes
in it.
The Desperate Housewives star admits she hates being wasteful and when a pharmacist friend advised her not to tip wine she doesn’t drink away, but pour it into her bathwater, Hatcher started enjoying vintage soaks.
She explains, "When you’re alone you open a bottle of wine and then it’s not really good after four or five days.
"This make-up chemist that I know was talking about all the good properties in wine - antioxidants and stuff, exfoliating qualities - and she said, `Never throw it out, dump it in your bath.’"

| Felicity Huffman's Movie Bombs |
Perhaps TV stars should stay away from the big screen. Following disastrous box office results for Matthew Fox's "We Are Marshall," "Desperate Housewives" co-star Nicolette Sheridan's "Code Name: The Cleaner" and Adam Brody's "In the Land of Women," Felicity Huffman's new movie "Georgia Rule" bombed at the weekend box office collecting a scant $5,9 million.
Veteran actress Jane Fonda and scandal-prone starlet Lindsay Lohan could not save the movie that had a reported budget of $60 million, which means it will have to earn over $100 million if the studio "Universal Pictures" is to reach the break-even point.
International distribution, DVD rentals and TV rights can help, but with initial box office so low, this movie will go down as a bomb.
The honchos at the studio who could not have been very happy to see the initial figures on Sunday morning, had already been at the end of their tether when they issued an unusual written reproach to Lohan during the production of the movie.
They called her conduct "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional" and said it had "endangered the quality of the picture."

Eva Longoria has Flown to Paris
to choose a Church for her Wedding |
The "Desperate Housewives" star is to wed basketball star Tony Parker on July 7 and is running out of time to pick a location.
Eva flew into the French capital on Monday (07.05.07) and the following day she and two girlfriends visited the clerical staff at St. Germain L’Auxerrois. The church is known as the ‘Parish of Kings’ because of its historic affiliation and its position next to the Louvre Museum.
The three women had lunch and then relaxed with some retail therapy at Left Bank’s Yves St. Laurent, Lola and Christian Lacroix boutiques.

Rumor: Tony Parker tries
to escape wedding, loses |
Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria is busting a nut getting ready for her July wedding to NBA sports guy Tony Parker, only here's the catch -- Tony just doesn't seem that into her...
The National Enquirer -- that bastion of truthful reporting, we know -- reports that Eva flipped out and hopped a plane to Texas to confront her French sweetie when he casually told her, "We need to switch our July date to Christmas, because I'll be touring to promote my new rap album."
A furious Eva accused Tony of getting cold feet, reminding him that the plans are already in place for a July 7 wedding deadline in Paris.
Tony, in the meantime, countered with the ever-so-sensible: "I didn’t say we weren’t getting married -- I just wanted to postpone it to promote my album."
The dude has to promote his rap album, what?

| 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).

| Eva Longoria To Host ALMAs Again |

"This year we are going to have an action packed telecast filled with surprises, as we celebrate the achievements of the Latino community."
The event is organized by The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), "the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.", and will take place on Friday June 1 2007. A two-hour broadcast of the event will air on ABC will on Tuesday June 5.

"With our stellar production team and support from the Latino community, we are confident that this year's telecast will be one of the most memorable television events of the year."
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.'"
