'Housewives' Catfight on Vanity Fair Photo Shoot

The stars of Desperate Housewives turned into desperate divas on the set of their Vanity Fair cover shoot when Marcia Cross took offense at the star treatment lavished on Golden Globe-winner Teri Hatcher. According to writer Ned Zeman, who was present when the bust-up occurred, Cross "lost it" when Hatcher was moved into the center of the group shot, despite publicists' demands that photographers treat cast members as equals. Zeman says, "ABC (TV) 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 center 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 Hatcher seemed to be taking over the shoot, through no fault of her own, Cross showed off her fiery side. Zeman adds, "She screamed (the publicist's) name and said, in essence, 'I want you to get over here and do your bleeping job...' Then she launched into this profanity-laced tirade. Teri was most visibly upset and got very emotional and was tearing up and was on her cell phone seeking comfort from someone." Hatcher insists the spat has been blown out of proportion: "However it comes off, I believe that everyone is as grateful to be on the show as I am." Meanwhile, cast mate Eva Longoria claims the fight was sparked by over-the-top primping and preening: "They forget we just shot a 16-hour day the day before and when someone's tweaking every little hair, it's like, 'Stop touching us, just shoot the picture.'"

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you put 5 women together. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before now.

I can't wait for the "E True Hollywood Story" about this show...

LMAO! I agree. I don't condone what Marcia did, but if I were her I think I would be kind of upset too. They always make Teri the star of the show, in reality it's an ensemble.

TJL · 04-05-2005, 02:28 PM

I'm pretty sure the others are probably a little jealous of the attention Teri and Eva are getting.
It's like those two are having a contest to see who can appear on the most magazine covers.

*MIBabe03* · 04-05-2005, 02:54 PM

I think both Marcia and Felicity get screwed over when it comes to magazines, which is really too bad, because they are both talented actresses.

Fight all they want, but if they **** up the show....

spunkygirl · 04-05-2005, 04:27 PM

Once again Teri gets crapped on by ABC

Like someone said, why would ABC treat Teri this way when they've primped her as the star from the beginning?

I don't condone what Marcia did either. I'm very disappointed in her. I mean yes it's an ensemble show, but so was Dallas and as we all know Larry Hagman was the star of that show.

I hope this doesn't hurt the show. I read that Teri burst into tears in between the shoot when they were on breaks. Personally I think Marcia should be ashamed of herself. I think she was also mad because her and Nicollette were supposed to be beside each other and then Teri was moved between them.

barwars · 04-05-2005, 04:37 PM

How you can side with Teri is beyond me.... but whatever.

Brent88 · 04-05-2005, 04:47 PM

Geez Teri... your name appears first in the opening credits, what more do you want?

Sounds like she "bursts into tears" very easily.

Caffeine King · 04-05-2005, 04:48 PM

I also think that they're all an ensemble.

I hate it how Teri Hatcher gets all of the attention. I hate Susan and how she's always falling down. Her storylines don't interest me at all.

I prefer all of the other ladies over her. I don't have anything against Teri Hatcher but I just don't like her character and I truely do prefer all of the other ladies over her.

barwars · 04-05-2005, 05:25 PM

I like Teri Hatcher a lot, but Marcia Cross deserves just as much if not more attention than Hatcher gets. They've gotten too big, too fast, and it's going to their heads.

The only one that seems to have a clear head on her shoulders is Huffman, and, maybe not so coincidentally -- she's quickly becoming my favorite part of the show.

HUH? This wasn't Teri's fault, it was ABC's fault, and Marcia's for acting like a bitch or should I say a DIVA

Teri's an emotional person, nothing wrong with that, I am as well.

Personally I don't see why Teri's getting the blame for this, when it was all Marcia and ABC's doing, and the people in charge of the photo shoot were the ones in charge, not Teri.

Marcia was acting like a bitch

Why?? ABC demanded that Teri not be in the center of any photo, because they don't want her to steal any more thunder than she has. Marcia was just playing by the rules. But whatever, you're obviously a fan of hers and will side with her rather than realize what actually went on.
