Now, we've been turning the following story around in our heads over and over, scratching our noggins and pursing our lips and furrowing our brows, trying to make heads or tails of what, exactly, it all means. It's a puzzler, all right, but it sure does make for the headline of the year: "Sheridan Ailing After Carrying Out Naked House Chores". Read on.

The Desperate Housewife and denyer of face lifts recently went and caught her death of flu after taking time out from dusting in the buff to "save" her dog from "drowning". Now we realize most new pet owners might be ignorant in regards to certain quirks about their new fluffy pals. But even a 4-year-old knows dogs can swim.

". . . he goes outside and [the dog is] right back in that pool again," Nicolette explains. "Now I think he's drowning! I run naked into the cold pool. I was cleaning [my house] naked. It's [a normal thing to do] when I'm feverish... So I saved the dog, but little did I know at 12 weeks old they can swim. But you know what, I'll fall for all of his tricks because I'm madly in love with him."

So if she has the flu as a result of jumping in the cold pool to save the dog, why was she "feverish" beforehand? Does not compute! Something about this whole episode just smacks of something . . . not quite right. Interspecies love?
