| Eva Excited About Gay Neighbors on "Desperate Housewives" |
Desperate Housewives is welcoming its first gay couple this season, and no one seems more excited about the new neighbors than 32-year-old actress, Eva Longoria.
“I am really excited about the gay neighbors, it is about time,” Longoria, who plays Gabrielle Lang on Desperate Housewives, told Access Hollywood during her Emmy red carpet interview on Sunday night. “I am surprised we haven't had them before.
As previously reported, Desperate Housewives' first gay couple, Bob and Lee, will be played by Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm, respectively. The pair relocates from New York City to the small suburban town for the chance to lead a quieter life, but upon installing a large fountain in their new home, find themselves clashing with Katherine Mayfair, a new character played by Dana Delaney.
However, according to Eva Longoria, Katherine is not the only character with whom Bob and Lee will come into conflict.
“They're funny, oh god they're funny,” Longoria said of Watkins and Rahm in their new roles. “[They] have a lot with Teri Hatcher [who plays Susan Mayer] – they are like, catty with her and they don't like her and it is so fun.”
On the other hand, Eva Longoria is hoping her character will form a bond with the new couple, although there hasn't been much interaction between Gabriella and Bob and Lee since filming for Desperate Housewives' fourth season began.
“They're my neighbors. They are actually the house right next to me and I haven't really interacted with them too much,” Longoria told Access Hollywood with a sigh. “I would love [a script involving my character and their characters]. Gabrielle should be friends with the gays.”

| Teri Hatcher Wins a Glamour Award |
Last night was the 4th Annual Glamour Women of the Year awards. I bet you didn’t know that. I bet you also didn’t know that Teri Hatcher won an award there.
Oh yes! But not for her portrayal of Susan Mayer on “Desperate Housewives”. She got the Writer of the Year award for her book, “Burnt Toast”. The British awards featured mostly British recipients, which made Teri winning the award all the more significant.
Way to go, Teri!

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.

Desperate Housewives Cast Members
Play Golf for Charity |
The Desperate Housewives cast, as well as the crewmembers donated a hundred to a thousand dollars each in an effort to help the Casa Pacifica children’s charity.
Among the cast members of Desperate Housewives, Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan Mayer, Dougray Scott, who plays Ian Kavanaugh, Brenda Strong, who acts as Mary Alice Young, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, who portrays Carlos Solis, and Doug Savant, who plays Tom Scavo, all took part in the generous act by playing golf for charity.
Among the notable participants, Dougray Scott came out as the most experienced, having previous experience in golf when he was a child. In fact, his dad introduced him to the game since he was just six years old. He said, “I was brought up playing [golf]."
As for the rest of the bunch, they did nearly average. And although most of them were novices on the field, they were still eager to compete as they were motivated by their good intentions just like Brenda Strong who has not picked up a club in the past twelve years, and Ricardo Antonio Chavira who has only played golf the first time two days before the competition. In fact, Chavira enjoyed the tournament with John Slattery. He said, "I'm going to kick his butt."
Overall the friendly tournament brought the Desperate Housewives gang in more light and benevolent atmosphere with their aim to aid the needy.
