Desperate Housewives

By Amy Bartner OK, listen. I rightfully work under the assumption that most of the actors on “Desperate Housewives” DO share some characteristics with their characters, because, well, they’re the same human playing them. But let’s be real here — they’re acting. I mean, I pray/hope Teri Hatcher isn’t act...

By Amy Bartner “Desperate Housewives”: “Careful the Things You Say” Original air date: Nov. 8, 2009 Liveblog/recap I’m allll alone tonight. More grading for (Not)Neighbor Peggy and Erin’s being all cultural and going to a poetry reading. So, here we are. Just me, the TV, my cat and the Desperate Housewive...

Bree asks for a divorce: Does that mean we’re going to get a full-on Karl/Bree relationship? I’d be willing to bet either Orson or Karl are one of the people who die in the plane crash…… Susan getting arrested: By Kathy Najimy (!!) … what’d she do? From the looks of it, she’s no doubt...

By Amy Bartner Yes, Lyndsy Fonseca — who played Katherine’s daughter Dylan — will be making a return. Few more details are known, but how is THAT going to shake up things? The whole Mike-Katherine-Susan situation is going to get a whole more interesting once Dylan comes back around….

By Amy Bartner “Desperate Housewives”: “Don’t Walk on the Grass” Original air date: Nov. 1, 2009 Liveblog/recap Happppppy day-after Halloween, DH fans!!! (Not)Neighbor Peggy is behind on grading papers, so she chose the well-being of today’s childrens instead of backstabbing wives/husbands/ex...

By Amy Bartner “Desperate Housewives” Season 6, episode 5: “Everybody Ought to Have a Maid” Air date: Oct. 25, 2009 Liveblog/recap This season continues to get better and better. The stories all are interesting, and even though I don’t have a super great amount of love for the Bolens year (no one seems to f...

By Amy Bartner So although we heard that no major character was going to be killed off the show in the half-point clilffhanger (which we know is a plane crash), it looks like Marc Cherry is now deciding to kill off several characters, according to Michael Ausiello. He’s got a source who says one of those peo...

By Amy Bartner All right. By now we know how this works, yes? Each week we pick three winners and losers! I take some input from the people I watch with (in this case, Erin and (Not) Neighbor Peggy), and a loooot of input from you guys. And more and more of you have been responding, so thank you!!! WINNERS Gaby: A...

By Amy Bartner You guys aren’t going to believe this. I not only managed to convince (Not)Neighbor Peggy to come watch the show with me tonight, but Friend Erin’s back, too! If you remember from last season, Friend Erin is one of those blind-support fans. By “blind support,” I mean she’s got a friend who run...

By Amy Bartner Marc Cherry has announced there’s going to be a plane crash on Wisteria Lane, and it’ll be BIG. After all, “Desperate Housewives” already poached a little bit of story from “Lost” with the five-year flash forward in Season 5, right? Post from: Desperate Blog

By Amy Bartner Can we pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase talk about how great this season is?? I won’t lie, this girl was a little skeptical — and I think for good reason. Number one, the fast-forward-five-years thing worked last season, but how would that fit with this one? If it was just a gimmick, then this season pr...

By Amy Bartner OK! So it took some time, but I managed to talk (Not)Neighbor Peggy into coming over and hanging out with me and watch some “Desperate Housewives.” We’re far too excited about John Rowland showing up again. We’re far too excited about the Great Lynette Baby Debacle of Aught Nine. We’re far too...

By Amy Bartner Two words: John Rowland. This episode is going to be amazing. The John-Gaby affair is the defining moment for me in “Desperate Housewives” and I’ve been waiting for him to come back…and NOT just because I feel bad about Jesse Metcalfe’s sad career. Post from: Desperate Blog Post from: Desper...

By Amy Bartner “Desperate Housewives” Season 6, episode 2, “Being Alive” Air date: Oct. 4, 2009 Liveblog/recap As y’all probably know by now, I’m doing a new thing with the Twitterin’ during the show and all. If you’re interested in following, then….follow! Here! And here and here! I’m pretty nutso/insa...

By Amy Bartner YES! The day has FINALLY come! It’s DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES SEASON 6 PREMIERE DAY! 2. Lynette? Pregnant? With TWINS! Is abortion on the table, or no? Are Tom and Lynette going to turn into the next Brangelina? Lynom? Tomette? OK. I’m done. Post from: Desperate Blog

By Amy Bartner Have these women ever looked hotter? This is HANDS DOWN my favorite promo in “Desperate Housewives” history. And here’s why: 1. There are shots spanning all four seasons. From when Gaby and Carlos weren’t together and she tried to seduce him (with that lingerie that I looked all over for but c...

By Amy Bartner We’re getting cloooooser!! Two and a half weeks left until the season premiere! OK, after analyzing this promo SEVERAL TIMES, I believe the leg that the garter is going on is Katherine’s. I do NOT believe, however, that’s she under the veil. Well, she’s obviously in a wedding dress. By “under...

By Amy Bartner As I reported a little while ago, Felicity Huffman is training to participate in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon. Well, turns out, she’s not alone. Teri Hatcher’s going to do the triathlon, too, which is Sept. 13 and supports the Pediatric Cancer Research Program at Childrens Hospital Los Ang...

By Amy Bartner Sure, the ladies (and men) of Wisteria Lane have been snubbed. And save for a few rants, I feel like we fans have taken in it stride, don’t you know? Good thing is, now we don’t have to. The second annual EWwys — Entertainment Weekly’s version of the Emmys — honors the same TV shows and stars, but a...

By Amy Bartner Here’s the promo shot of “Desperate Housewives” Season Six. What do we think of this? I need to analyze this as only I can: thoroughly and snarkily. Jus’ call me Desperate Detective. Let’s start with the obvious, OK? 1. Katherine. I keeping looking at the picture, glancing away, looking back ag...

By Amy Bartner The second season certainly wasn’t a favorite of mine, so how weird is it to hear the show’s creator talk about things he’d do differently, you know? An aside: He also mentions that he’s proposing a high school version of “Desperate Housewives.” It’s called “90210,” Marc….

By Amy Bartner According to the examiner.com, you could smell like Bree with apple, white jasmine and amber….Susan, with orange flower cedar and sandalwood…Lynette with citrus, cardamom and musk….or Gaby, with raspberry, rose petals and patchouli. Post from: Desperate Blog

By Amy Bartner Toby Keith has a new song out. You can watch it here. I’m sorry I posted that link and helped him spread that song. If you’re me, you hit the X it off after he sang “Mama gets her rocks off watching ‘Desperate Housewives’.” OK, fine, I kept listening just to make myself angry. Hey, Toby, I’ve got news f...

By Amy Bartner Eva Longoria Parker, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Teri Hatcher each make $395,000 PER episode. That sounds like a shocking amount of money, but I sorta expected it to be higher? TV Guide reported that the ladies are third to “House”’s Hugh Laurie, who rakes in $400,000 per episode. Bu...

By Amy Bartner My favorite thing in the world is to find a “Desperate Housewives” actor while I’m lazily sitting at home watching old sitcoms. They all seemed to have, at one time or another, appeared on “Seinfeld” (Teri Hatcher was the “they’re real and they’re spectacular” girl, Marcia Cross played a d...

By Amy Bartner It seems like that’s the pattern with the “Desperate Housewives” revolving door these days, doesn’t it? “I probably shouldn’t say this but I’ve got a meeting with the execs of Desperate Housewives,” John told Radio 1’s Chris Moyles. “Can you believe it, I’m going to be a Desperate Housewi...

By Amy Bartner Shawn Pyfrom, the actor who plays Andrew Van De Kamp — Bree’s sometimes-homeless, sometimes-evil, always-adorable son — has said he won’t be coming back full time in the next season of “Desperate Housewives.” He’ll be back for a few appearances, according to PEOPLE magazine. He’ll be lea...

By Amy Bartner And I mean JUST like a high school sports team — with hazing and all. Of course, they’re a bunch of middle-aged women, so the process is a little different. Teri Hatcher told PEOPLE at Comic-Con that the cast show a scene with powdered sugar … and things got a little messy, particularly with Dre...

By Amy Bartner I know “Desperate Housewives” has become sorta the joke of the Emmys as being the show that always gets the obvious nominations each year. Hopefully that joke ends this year because the show’s only up for two this year. Yes, you heard me right. And the noms are a bit random: Outstanding Hairsty...

By Amy Bartner 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! Post from: Desperate Blog

By Amy Bartner 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 a...

By Amy Bartner Tennis star Serena Williams, 27, (shown here on June 22 during day one of the 2009 Wimbledon Championship) is working on a comedy that’ll take from the shows she loves — and one of those favorites is, yes, “Desperate Housewives.” (According to “The West Australian.”) “It’s a mixture of some...

By Amy Bartner 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 Lovat...

By Amy Bartner Look! Eva has managed to combine my two favorite things in life: Desperate Housewives and Frostys. She served surprised guests at a Wendy’s in San Antonio by serving them Frosty’s during Wendy’s third-annual Father’s Day Frosty Weekend, Extra reports. Post from: Desperate Blog

By Amy Bartner 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...

By Amy Bartner Also, should I mention that I cried for two weeks straight when Charlie was killed off “Lost” and would be the happiest little blogger in the world if he came to “Desperate Housewives”? Color me biased, but…. Post from: Desperate Blog

By Amy Bartner Look, I have proof: It’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen/heard much out of Jesse (since his hard-partying and the hard-rehabbing days). Here he is at the premiere of “The Hurt Locker” in Hollywood, even though he’s not in the movie. I’m wondering if he’s out and about because we’re going to s...

By Amy Bartner Hi, Desperate Housewives fans!! You guys might have noticed a change in the way DesperateBlog looks! You’re not crazy OR at the wrong site — we’ve redesigned! Therefore, welcome to the new and improved DesperateBlog!! Keeping that in mind, this is a great time to let you all know that the s...
