it's like the 7th grade locker room ...


They may appear sultry and ready for summer on the May cover of Vanity Fair, but according to the magazine, the stars of ABC's "Desperate Housewives" were actually steaming angry.

Vanity Fair's cover proclaims: "You wouldn't believe what it took just to get this photo!" The article acknowledges that the poolside photo-shoot, in which the five women appear in different colored bathing suits, was manned by an ABC representative who was to make sure that certain demands were met including that Teri Hatcher didn't select her wardrobe first or appear in the center of any group photo.

"Whatever you do," the ABC rep, who wasn't identified by name, said when he arrived on the set, "do not let Teri go to wardrobe first."




Despite the rep's plea, Hatcher was the first "housewife" to visit wardrobe, and she had consulted with the stylist days in advance. At one point, the rep proclaimed: "This is a problem. I'm getting text messages from Eva (Longoria). Everything is not fine."

The struggles continued once the photographer started snapping. Redhead Marcia Cross turned red-hot when she saw Hatcher standing next to her in the center of the shot, according to the article. Cross grabbed her bathrobe and stormed egoff, spewing expletives at the ABC rep.

Hatcher later walked to the other end of the set, where "she got into a tearful, heated conversation on her cell phone."

In the fold-out May cover, which hits newsstands April 12, the center position belongs to Nicollette Sheridan, who's flanked by Hatcher and Cross with Longoria and Felicity Huffman posed beneath them on a chaise although Cross and Huffman can't been seen when the cover is folded.

Also in the article, the women discuss the media blitz surrounding the show and its stars. Huffman believes a "Desperate" backlash is imminent while Cross just ignores it all.

"Honestly, I don't read it," Cross told Vanity Fair of the media coverage. "And I don't even watch the show right now. It's too much. It's just too much..."

why ?

Machaela said:

I was just curious.

I always take these kind of reports with a grain of salt, I was just tryina figure out how many grains of salt to take it with

endorphin74 said:

me too ...

This is too funny. I love this show, but damn if Felicity Huffman isn't treated like the ugly stepchild at all of these things. Nicolette Sheridan is a supporting character, and she gets more attention than Huffman (the only real actress on the show) does.

egos, that primadonna diva stuff cracks me up

I'm guessing this is some fabricated buzz just to stir up interest in the show. The people who watch it are obviously fans of drama, so they're probabbly eating this all up.

Tom said:

that is kinda what i was thinking too ...

I haven't owned a TV in three years because of shit like this...Media manipulation sucks ass.

OhhSorry, I said ass.

9 yrs ago i threw our TV off our deck ( seriously )

NEVER again will i have a TV on the main floor of my house

i'm psycho that way though

Desperate Housebitches!

I agree...this could be adding more fuel to the fodder. A marketing ploy to make us think that there is heat between the girls. Personaly I am thinking that Teri is the one causing the issues. But that is based on the reports. But what I don't see is why is she considered the star and makes the most money? They all have equal screen time and are all pretty (I think she's the least prettiest, has the crappiest plot and is an inferior actress than the others) I never feel she is the STAR of the show. It's probably because she's the "single" one...and many women want to see her get togehter...but really that's the smallest and lamest of all the plots...we've seen that before...And I am certian that we will see her get Married and it will be "The television event of the year"

RipHer2Shreds said:

Right? Marcia Cross is also a bigger Star on the show and yet she gets dwarfed by Eva. I think Felicity and Marcia are the best things on the show. They just aren't as pretty as the other 3. ANd that's a shame.

superspaceboy said:

I'm right with you. They're the two best actresses on the show, and I love them on and off screen (what I know of them anyway). Eva's fine on the show, but because she's "the prettiest," you see her everywhere.

Tom said:

it's not a particularly good PR hack job, either.

Anxiety said:

Yeah...isn't this like the 3rd news item about infighting?

OK, so what exactly is the premise of the show?

I have no clue.

Tom said:

Exactly. Entertainment Tonight did a feature on it also, and ET cameras were there. ET doesn't stumble onto a photo shoot, they are invited by publicists. That said, I don't think it unreasonable that there is some real tension and drama among the cast.

AsianBomb777 said:

they're like these housewives, and they get really desperate about things.

Anxiety said:

Please tell me that isn't what this show is based on.
please.

I try to stay away from american tv as much as posible. Too much drama, to much hate.....my kids watch cartoons or late 90's nick tv games (double dare, finders keepers, guts). I dont even watch the news in the morning anymore.....way to much for me.....

amorbella said:

good policy. when i keep the TV on for too long, i feel like i just ate a whole box of twinkies.

Anxiety said:

exactly the way I feel.....but i am addicted to spanish soaps (1 hour a night).....more excietment and they end.....(8-9 months, not 12 years)

Machaela said:

I'd lose my mind if I didn't have a tv.

i love this show and bree is my favorite house wife

ehuffnsd said:

I loved when she said her husband cries after he ejaculates!

I'm sure their divas but I'm also sure it's blown way out of proporation. Stuff like this does not hurt the ratings of "EnertainmentTonightExtraAcessHollywoodTheInsiderCelebrityJusticeGoodDayLive", if you know what I mean.

BTW, is GDL still on the air...I think they got rid of it here in Detriot...they never should have replaced the two original boring bimbos with the even more boring bimbos....and Steve was a sour ass jerk off...but I still watched it every so often!
