After reportedly being in prolonged talks with Desperate Housewives top guns for Heather Mills to appear on the hit ABC show, the former model's publicist Michele Elyzabeth said it was Eva Longoria-Parker who talked the producer out of the idea.
Mills, 41 and the ex-wife of Beatles member Paul McCartney, was said to have been “desperate” to break into Hollywood recently, trying to secure roles on a high-profile TV series. “I even had discussions with the bosses of Ugly Betty but they gave me a flat no. The major TV shows over here just didn't think Heather fitted in anywhere,” Elyzabeth said, while adding that other American dramas have turned down the Brit's unsolicited offers.

The Creative Arts Emmys will air Saturday, September 20 on E!, a day before the Primetime Emmys air live on ABC. Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) hosted the event, which included such winners as Cynthia Nixon (Law & Order: SVU), Tim Conway (30 Rock), and funny women Sarah Silverman and Kathy Griffin.

Watch out, Wysteria Lane. NYPD Blue actress and certified Samantha Jones-like cougar Gail O'Grady is gracing the streets of Wysteria Lane on a recurring capacity as a troublemaker (as if Desperate Housewives does not have enough). The 45-year-old star of NBC's American Dreams will reportedly play a “Mrs. Robinson-esque seductress” on Desperate Housewives who will be targeting one of Lynette's “rapidly aged twin terrors.”
To make matters more complicated, O'Grady will be married, and the Desperate Housewives producers are currently casting for the role of her hubby.

On Desperate Housewives, Nicollette Sheridan plays serial divorcee Edie Britt who can be quite competitive when it comes to anything romantic (or real estate). In real life, 44-year-old Sheridan's first marriage was to actor Harry Hamlin (LA Law) in 1991. That didn't last long, as the two broke up a mere two years later.
After being engaged to Swedish personal trainer Nicklas Söderblom next for less than a year in 2005, the Desperate Housewives star went to date again ex-boyfriend and Grammy Award-winning singer Michael Bolton, whom she first started dating in 1992. The two got engaged in 2006. There were even rumors that Sheridan was pregnant during the engagement. The couple's publicist Nicole Perna announced that Sheridan and Bolton ended their engagement “amicably” last August 26.

In July, we reported that Tin Man star Neal McDonough will be moving to Wysteria Lane as Nicollette Sheridan's love interest. The star of the three-part miniseries re-imaging of the classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was picked to be part of the regular cast next season. He will play a new white-collar resident who, due to some turn of events, will meet Edie Britt, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The former star of Boomtown shared his thoughts on how things are on the set of Desperate Housewives and whether or not Nicollette finally struck gold, romantically speaking, with his character.

The fourth season finale of Desperate Housewives, which featured the infamous five-year jump to the future, saw Susan kissing someone not Mike, Bree finally turning into Martha Stewart, like everyone expected, Lynette's twins not growing up the way she liked them too, and Gabby turning out fat and very unglamorous. Despite the differing opinions on the effect of this little device, Desperate Housewives will move on with its fifth season this fall, and one of its writers and consulting producer said that, yes, viewers will get to see “some flashbacks,” but not too much.
"You'll see some flashbacks,” revealed Jeff Greenstein. “Occasionally there will be some things you've missed that we'll have to explain. There's going to be some things you've missed that we're not going to explain so quickly. [However,] we're not doing Lost. We're not slaves to flashbacks."
