The women of Desperate Housewives have released a joint statement in regards to Nicollette Sheridan‘s recent allegations that series creator Marc Cherry smacked her over the head and then fired her for wanting to report him to ABC Executives, and guess what they are standing right by him.
Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher and Marcia Cross issued the statement last night announcing that they are standing by their paycheck boss and say the set is a very happy environment.
“It would be irresponsible of us to let the public believe that being a part of this show from its inception has been anything but a blessing. We have no first-hand knowledge of what Nicolette may or may not have experienced, but we would never characterize our set as a hostile environment. It is, in fact, the opposite. The friendships and support that Marc Cherry, the cast, the crew and the producers have shared for the past six years have made this a wonderful job that we are grateful for every day.â€
Teri decided being a part of just one statement wasn’t enough because she then issued her own statement, probably because Nicollette singled her out and said that Marc also abused her. Here is what she had to say:
“While my adoration and respect for the classic and dynamic chemistry of the characters of Susan and Edie is indelible, I’m honored to stand with Eva, Felicity and Marcia, as a group and clarify that our set environment is nothing less than an amazingly positive experience. I have never felt discriminated against. In fact, I have felt heard and respected by Marc and other executives in regards to both my professional and personal needs.”
I knew it was only a matter of time before they all released a statement giving their dying love towards Marc Cherry, there is no way in hell they would have spoken out about him or said the allegations are true. They only care about their paychecks and if they did speak any bad words they would have been next to be axed.

It’s been over a year since Nicollette Sheridan was fired from Desperate Housewives, most people assumed it was fighting between the girls that caused her to be written of the show. This is not the case because she says creator of the show, Marc Cherry, hit her across the face.
Apparently on September 24, 2008, she questioned something in the script but this didn’t go down well at all with Cherry who then took her aside and slapped her across the head and face. When she went to her trailer he apparently ran after her to “beg forgiveness.”
Nicollete has now filed a lawsuit against Cherry asking for more than $20 million, she says that when she complained to ABC about his behavior he unfairly fired her from the show.
The lawsuit also says that he created a hostile work environment by “behaving in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner.” She also claims that he yelled at crew and other cast members including Teri Hatcher, who allegedly complained to ABC about him but Cherry’s response was simply “I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies.” ABC say they have yet to see Hatcher’s complaint but they found Nicollette’s complaint to be without merit.
So this is why Desperate Housewives became so shitty, all the good stuff was going on behind the cameras and not in front of the camera.

Check out these very hot pictures of Eva Longoria in the June issue of GQ Mexico.
To be honest, I’m usually not all that into Eva but these pictures are just too hot for me to ignore.
There’s nothing really that can be said, I could talk a bunch of boring crap about how she is jet setting around Europe with her husband Tony Parker at the moment, but in all honesty do any of us care? No.
Girls Aloud beauty Nadine Coyle is to lift the lid on her split with love-cheat boyfriend Jesse Metcalfe in an explosive book.
Nadine, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Kimberly Walsh and Sarah Harding have all contributed to the biography, which details their unstoppable rise from pop wannabes.
And pals say straight-talking Nadine (23) may use it to get revenge on Jesse for breaking her heart.
The pair met in February 2006, but split briefly last November due to the pressures of a long-distance relationship. They got back together, but then broke up when Desperate Housewives star Jesse was spotted with a mystery woman in LA.

Josh Henderson has a child and is not taking responsibility!
Kendal Sheppard, from MTV’s Road Rules, is sick and tired of Desperate Housewives alum (he played Austin McCann on the ABC hit television series) and Paris Hilton’s ex-boyfriend Josh Henderson for not owning up to his fatherly duties, so she’s blasted him on her MySpace.
Apparently, he’s her babydaddy, she has a paternity test to prove it, yet he’s not accepting responsibility for his child.
Kendal states on MySpace:

father’s day and my baby’s daddy…
with my son’s first birthday on the same day as father’s day, i can’t help but have mixed feelings. i am so excited to celebrate the day my very favorite boy was born! but.. a feeling of anger and rage sweeps my body when i think of little asa’s biological dead beat dad.
josh had made it clear from the beginning that he wanted nothing to do with his son. however, i was convinced that he was a better person than that. it’s been a year of me trying to get him interested in one way or another- i even felt like we made a little progress around february when he actually returned a phone call- maybe even two. that was all i needed to know that i had been doing the right thing by not hiring lawyers or acting out of emotion. i thought we could have a peaceful coexsistance and that someday, my son would would be able to (at least) call his “father” if he simply wanted to talk. so foolish am i..
after months of delay, i realized that quite possibly, everyone was right about josh; that he really didn’t care. recently, through the grapevine, i’ve heard that josh is saying that the DNA test we took about 10 months ago was inconclusive. even though i have a DNA test that came back negative from our preferred potetntial father, and josh’s test came back with a very different result, josh is still saying that the child isn’t his. i guess he needs more than a 99% to be convinced. maybe he has a twin with with idedntical DNA that he believes me to have slept with. even though josh admitted to being the father of asa, he is now changing his story. i’m assuming it has something to do with his lawyers. it’s funny how lawyers are.. i wonder if they really think about the effects of their actions. if they are in support of a client not paying child support and using their knowledge that ultimately reflects the life of a little boy, then i am disgusted. josh has not returned any emails or calls since april when he said he’d call me when his “lawyers got back in town”. they must be on summer vacation.
well, josh, happy father’s day, sweetheart, you give ass holes out there something to look up to. :)
No doubt Paris Hilton is to blame, I blame her for absolutely everything bad in the world.
Frankly, nothing is worse than a deadbeat dad. I think you should tell Josh you think so too — via HIS MySpace.
Imagine “Pretty Woman” starring Molly Ringwald. Or “Raiders of the Lost Ark” with Tom Selleck as leading man. How about “The Graduate” with Robert Redford playing Benjamin Braddock — instead of Dustin Hoffman?
It’s only on the rare occasion that viewers try to imagine a different cast, that’s when they realize the impact of such decisions.
Try to consider the 1980s sitcom “Family Ties” without Michael J. Fox playing uber-Republican Alex P. Keaton. It seems almost impossible now, but the television studio only offered the now-iconic part to Fox after first-choice Matthew Broderick passed on the role.
Making the right casting call is crucial to financial success in entertainment, which is why a casting director (either employed by the studio or working on a freelance basis) as well as a director, producer, and studio executives weigh in on the decisions.

The guy that used to be on Passions and runs around near nude on “Desperate Housewives†got punched in the face. Happy Friday.
Last night he was out getting his drunk on, his March rehab stint did wonders, when he ran into Taryn Manning. The two are apparently friends but Mams Taylor didn’t get the memo. Taryn’s man must have felt threatened and the two started a bitch fight that ended with Metcalf getting his ass handed to him. Mams punched Jesse in the face and knocked him down to the ground. This was after he had him by the throat.
After getting up off the ground security kicks Metcalfe out of the club and breaks up any possible retaliation. No word on exactly what started the fight, but rumor has it that Jesse was all up in Taryn’s grill. Being that Mams had apparently marked his territory by peeing on Manning’s leg or something, Jesse was given a British beating.
Ooo, it’s all very High School Musical. I am surprised that the Jets and the Sharks didn’t jump out from behind some trash cans and translate the fight with some clever snapping and choreography.

Two celebrities were spotted giving out Dominos Pizza – personally, I wouldn’t have thought that Dominos would be the brand of choice.
First up, it’s Hayden Panettiere, who noticed that there were a bunch of paparazzi waiting outside her door. So she ordered them pizza – I guess that was her way of letting them know that she’d be staying in for the night.
It takes a special celebrity to give paparazzi food. Usually you see celebs getting into fights or flipping them off. I think I’d be in the angry camp if I was followed around all day, but it’s awesome of Hayden to take it all in stride. A hero indeed.
Then we have Eva Longoria delivering Dominos Pizza to the striking writers outside ABC studios, before she crossed the line to finish up a final few scenes for “Desperate Housewives” before production was shut down.
