OK, so there was the kiss between Gaby and Susan…which was a whole lot of hype, very little hot, and nothing more than an attempt to entice a husband or two to watch the show.

That’s NOT what we devoted fans need to see on our beloved show.

Dana Delany has said her character, Katherine, will not just give Robin (the stripper with a heart of gold played by “Dexter”’s Julie Benz) a quick kiss. They’ll have an actual makeout … and maybe more?

I really, really like this turn for Katherine and hope it’s a real relationship. I think her story run its course, and she’s seeing help for her, you know, issues (is that an understatement? Yes? No? Mooooving on…). I think maybe she’ll realize some of that comes from her attraction to women?

One more important question: WWBS???? (What would Bree say????)

We’ve been getting a lot of great actors from other fantastic shows on TV guest starring. I’m always excited to see someone I recognize from another show, especially when they’re not a huge name themselves (like Julie Benz from “Dexter” as Robin, the stripper with a heart of gold). Turns out, “Mad Man” actor Sam Page will join the cast at the end of this month.

And he’s going to be, um, a little different than the other men on the show. The 33-year-old actor will be Jeremy (who’s shown here at Miami’s South Beach Triathlon in April), a cook with a respectable resume — who thinks Bree is a god.

Isn’t this just the sorta thing a woman who lost her lover and the lower half of her husband needs right now?

OK, so I swear I have no intentions of renaming this blog DesperateMetcalfe.com. He’s just been in the news a lot lately! It’s like he came out of hibernation and is making the promotion circuit — only dude’s got nothing to promote. At least he’s staying out of trouble, and helping high schools in L.A. in the process, right?

Jesse Metcalfe played with a team of other “celebrities” against high school teachers at Claremont High School on Saturday to raise money for area schools. His team name? The Hollywood Knights.

Using celebrity for good is always a wonderful thing. You get a pass for a while, Metcalfe!!

“Desperate Housewives”: “The Glamorous Life”
Original air date: Jan. 31, 2009
liveblog/recap

We missed “Desperate Housewives” last week, and this week, we’re competing with our love of too-long awards shows. So we’re going to be watching the Grammys right until 8:59…and flip over OMGREALLYFAST.

Erin’s here, (Not)Neighbor Peggy is here. It’s on. (And, of course, follow me on the Twits @DesperateBlog)

GO!

9:02: I reeeeaally don’t care about Orson in a wheelchair. This storyline doesn’t interest me. And I had gotten used to Bree and Karl…
9:02: Orson and Bree? Just seem awkwardly matched now.
9:03: P.S. Orson’s giving away things? Telltale sign of suicide. Little TOO obvious, guys?
9:03: OMG, I love lines like this from Mary Alice: “…because her husband had decided to kill himself.” Think it’s going to happen?
9:04: I really wish Angie would dress more like Snooki from Jersey Shore. It seems like she should. Am I wrong on this?
9:05: I love how the “SEEEEND IN THE CLONE!” woman from Austin Powers is a neighbor now?
9:05: “Is Angie Bolen the sixth Captain Planet character now?” –Peggy
9:06: “We don’t talk about Patrick anymore.” –Nick. YES WE DO. TALK ABOUT PATRICK . TALK. GO.
9:06: Oh man, Rita!!
9:07: I did NOT expect her to make such a good stripper! She’s so sweet and innocent on Dexter….
9:09: Is there some tension with Daphne and Tom?? Am I imagining that?
9:10: He left his keys. This isn’t going to be good. Daphne and Tom alone?
9:11: I just turned to Erin: “Am I making up this sexual tension??” “No. No you’re not.”
9:11: Who writes for Gaby?? “Just a couple of teenagers alone with their genitals.”
9:13: Yep, suicide note…
9:14: The last few episodes have been HILARIOUS. Funnier than usual? Good writing, DH Gods. Good writing.
9:17: So I ran into the kitchen to get some wine during the break. This is how I knew we were back from commercial: “BOX OF CONDOMS ON THE TABLE!” –Peggy
9:17: Ahh, the double standard for boys vs. girls having sex as teenagers. Or any agers.
9:17: “She’s YOUR trampy niece!” –Gaby
9:18: I’m sorry…Susan is Robin/Rita’s role model? Susan is anyone’s role model…?
9:19: “Apparently there was a boob job and a bad relationship and the rising cost of glitter…” –Susan.
9:20: Peggy — who’s a teacher — is angry that Robin’s getting a job with kids “without credentials.”

OK, so this has gotta be a sign, right?

I write two snarky Jesse Metcalfe posts…and then he gets a ticket for parking in the red zone?

I’m sorry. I can only say say one thing to this, after all the fighting, partying and cockiness from Jesse: Karma.

I know, I know. This is the most Earth-shattering news I could possibly be posting while the president is delivering his State of the Union, right?

Well, I’m pretty sure I can’t top the headline that originally described this photo: “Jesse Metcalfe out for a stroll with his brown bag in LA.”

Well…yes. Yes he is….strolling with…..his…..brown….bag.

And that smirk! What is that?

What happened to you, Jesse Metcalfe?

He was shot at the Aussie Millions poker tournament at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on Tuesday. Before he showed up for the celebrity tournament, the organization sent a release calling Jesse “one of the world’s most high profile emerging actors.”

Uhh…what? Emerging? High profile? This statement was true in 2004, and for Jesse’s sake, I wish it still WAS 2004. He was hot, an OK actor and had a great job. And then he starred in a so-so teen movie, maybe got peck implants and sunk into obscurity. (Thankfully, he also got a few more episodes reprising his role as John Rowland on “Desperate Housewives.”)

I can’t quite place it, but he just looks more and more waxen and made up these days. Everything is just soooo forced. And the goatee? Jesse, cooooome on!

With so many good men on this show, I’m not super upset he’s not on it anymore. Do you miss him?

I don’t mind that Marcia Cross’s twins Eden and Savannah didn’t get her red hair, even though redheads will be “extinct” soon. Those nearly 3-year-old babies are some of the most gorgeous girls I’ve ever seen.

Marcia and her twins were seen on Santa Monica Pier on Monday evening. I always wonder how many celebrities actually mother their own children, but it’s so obvious that Marcia’s a loving, doting mother (and I don’t mean in the way that Bree is a “good” mother).

PBS has announced a new mini-series called “Faces of America”, with Henry Louis Gates Jr. — where they’ll use DNA testing to trace the ancestry of each of 12 celebs.

Our favorite Mexican American housewife, Eva Longoria Parker, was one of those chosen.

Joining her will be Yo-Yo Ma, Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. Oz, Meryl Streep, Stephen Colbert (!!!Yes!!!), Kristi Yamaguchi and more.

The airs on Wednesdays from 8 to 9 p.m. EST, from Feb. 10 to March 3 on PBS.

I’m there.

Who knew Marcia Cross had something in common with 97.6 percent of the population of Brooklyn? Give her a pair of Chucks, a plaid scarf and a baggy beanie that doesn’t quit fit her head, and you’d be able to call her a full-blown hipster (as she’s walking back to her car after shopping this weekend in Santa Monica).

So I’ve noticed something: Marcia’s super active during the day; Eva at night. When do Teri, Felicity and Dana go out??

P.S. She really pulls off the skinny jeans like few other can.
