….and I think she knows how to use them? Teri Hatcher’s looking GREAT here after eating at STK on Monday night. I don’t know that I can think of a time when I saw her wearing orange? She’s tan and summery looking, and just relaxed.
But she obviously didn’t eat enough at STK. Too skinny, Teri!

With Sarah Palin’s recent announcement that she’ll be stepping down early as governor of Alaska, we’re going back to some old rumors that swirled late last year: that she could become the newest desperate housewife. Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly has the same idea.

It was sort of mentioned lightly last year, what with her hot career in politics and all….but now? This is seriously a viable option for the conservative pro-abstinence parent of an unwed teenage mother. Ken’s reasoning is that we need a replacement for Edie. I disagree — we need someone to take over the NRA-badge-totin role on this show. Bree’s gotten far too moderate these days, don’t you think?

So I’m using this blog as a political platform. Post a comment if you want to see the former VP candidate as an actress on “Desperate Housewives.” Maybe she and Marc will see it and listen to us. You, American Desperate Housewives Fans, can have your voice heard!

Who’s with me??

I think the title of this post sums up this photo of Jesse Metcalfe leaving Hyde last night quite well.

Do we think the former underage gardener and rehabber looks like he’s sober enough to drive himself home after a night at the favorite spot of celebrity club-goers?

Hard-edged tough chick Drea de Matteo — you know her from “The Sopranos” (and maybe “Friends” spin-off “Joey”…Anyone? Anyone?) — will be the next woman in desperation to take up residence on Wisteria Lane as a series regular, Entertainment Weekly is reporting.

Not moving far from her “Sopranos” roots, de Matteo will be the head of an Italian household, and will be married to a landscaper and have a “tightly wound” son, according to EW.com’s Michael Ausiello. Both of those roles have yet to be cast, but as long as they’re good actors, I don’t care who they are. I just can’t wait to get some “Sopranos” gangsta action to the ‘burbs.

I am SO excited for this move, and here’s why: Every town has its village idiot, right? Wisteria Lane is no different — except they need the village slut. Edie’s dead, so who’s going to take on that title? I’m thinking Drea’s character is going to take a lot from Edie role, but will be stronger and bring a rougher, more masculine housewife to the show.

Yay!

P.S. I’m calling it right now: She and Susan are NOT going to get along.

If you’re a pop culture-head (like me?) you can’t get away from the train wreck that is this bizarre fight between Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas and Perez Hilton at the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto on Sunday. Perez was hit in the face — he says by the Black Eyed Peas’ manager. Both sides have since taken to all forms of social media in an exhausting war of text.

In the most recent statement from Perez, as posted on his Web site yesterday, he (sorta) apologizes for poking fun at an altercation Jesse Metcalfe (who used to play Gaby’s underage gardener and love interest, John Rowland) had with a bachelor party last May. In all the years I’ve been reading Perez, I’ve yet to see the man apologize. Well, there’s a first for everything, right? Here’s what Perez had to say:

“I leave this traumatic experience as a person with more compassion. Specifically, there was an instance last year when actor Jesse Metcalfe was attacked outside of a Hollywood nightclub by a fellow entertainer. I did not condone the violence, but I did make light of that situation. I regret that. Sincerely.”

Too little, too late?

So we’ve already established that things are a little wonky (a little?) between Bree and Orson, what with the impending divorce and all. Now that Karl’s in the picture, slutting up the scene and having an affair with Bree, things are even more complicated.

Apparently, Bree’s not the stone-cold tough lady she kinda seems to be, and she’s going to face some stress about breaking one of those Ten Commandments. (Wait, infidelity is one, right?)

According to Mickey O’Connor from TV Guide, Bree will turn to “an old friend who you might have thought was out of the picture.” Well, let’s see….all her previous husbands/boyfriends (Rex? George the Pharmacist?) are dead…..

Who could it be? Wait….Zach Young??? Could it be?? That was one of my BIGGEST problems with the first season, is that he and his father just…went away. Now that I think about it, I’m fairly certain it’s gotta be Zach! Right? Maybe?

Who do you think it is?

OK, so I’ll admit I don’t readily split my time between Disney and “Desperate Housewives,” but I just learned that Madison De La Garza, the 7-year-old girl who plays Gaby’s daughter Juanita is the little sister of Disney’s Next Hilary Duff/Miley Cyrus/Hopefully not Britney, Demi Lovato?

She’s shown here, giving her little sister a smooch on the red carpet of Demi’s new movie “Princess Protection Program” last week.

Can you remember a time when you were 7 and all you want to do was wear neon pink tulle, an equally awesomely bright neon skeleton shirt and a pink bow? Me too. Oh, that’s right, I wasn’t a recurring character in a hit TV series. *jealous huffiness*

Marcia Cross, Tom Mahoney and their twins Eden and Savannah play at the park on a happy Father’s Day!

Tom, who was diagnosed with cancer in January, looks happy (albeit a little skinnier and grayer than he was earlier this year).

We wish you nothing but the best and many, many, many more Father’s Days, Tom!

Twelve-year-old Rachel Fox — who plays Tom Scavo’s daughter Kayla Huntington on the show — posted this video of her singing Taylor Swift’s “Love Song.” If Taylor Swift weren’t so darn cute to begin with, Rachel’s rendition of the song might just take the Cutest Bubblegum/Unicorns/Butterflies Award of All Time.

Kyle MacLachlan says he’s planning to leave “Desperate Housewives” because the commute from home (New York) to Wisteria Lane (L.A.) is too much for him, now that he’s a family man.

He and his wife, Desiree Gruber, and their baby Callum (who’ll be a year old in July) are his top priority — as they should be.

“It’s getting more difficult going back and forth,” MacLachlan said. “I’ll do the next series and see how it goes.”

“It’s such a huge change having children. It’s not about me any more - it’s about my family.”

Wonder what that’ll mean for Orson? His character’s becoming more obsolete with the divorce/Bree’s new affair with Karl.

He also said he wants more children.

“Callum is an absolute joy,” he said. “We’re going to try for another so they can fight each other!”
