Desperate Divas: Trouble A-Brewin'

Awriiiight! It's been awhile since we've had any good Desperate Housewives juice, but today, we woke up and found that the oranges done got squeezed and we can proffer a fresh pulpy glass. Two words: cat and fight.

Seems that a Sex and the City style battle royale began to brew between Teri Hatcher (in the SJ Parker role) and Marcia Cross (all Kim Cattrallesque) during a photo shoot for Vanity Fair. The maybe-gaybe Cross became incensed at what she thought was preferential treatment being given to Golden Globe winner Hatcher. VF writer Ned Zemen blabs that Cross went apeshit when Teri was moved to the center of the group shot, even though the cast members' publicist was on hand to constantly hairstroke and coddle the Housewives and tell them that they were all the prettiest princess.

Zeman said, "ABC publicity demanded that, in all the different set-ups that the women would be posed for photographs, Teri Hatcher absolutely was not to be in the centre of the women . . . There had been some tension on the set over who's getting the awards and who's getting most of the magazine covers--that would be Teri Hatcher." And when Teri's frozen brow was moved to the center of the group, Marcia Cross's eye glowed like two angry coals, her head blew clean off her body, rolled into a corner, and hissed the publicist's name, telling him, "'I want you to get over here and do your bleeping job...' Then she launched into this profanity-laced tirade," Zeman continued.

If it's gotten this ugly after one magazine shoot, we're dying to see how things go after the castmates' salaries are adjusted. We predict a standoff on the level of Suzanne Somers vs. Three's Company. Bring on the Thighmasters!
