Marcia Cross Fights to Keep Naked Pictures Under Wraps - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

HOLLYWOOD - Desperate Housewives actress Marcia Cross is battling to keep naked pictures of her from being published.
Two hundred sexy snaps were reportedly discovered by a catering company hired to remove garbage from redhead Cross' home in Los Angeles. The firm's owner is being represented by agent David Hans Schmidt, who plans to sell the pictures.

Schmidt tells the New York Daily News, "There are some pictures of her showering outside. She looks absolutely gorgeous. And yes, the carpet does match the curtains."

But 44-year-old Cross' legal team claim the photos were thrown away by mistake and insist they still belong to her and husband Tom Mahoney. She is demanding their return.

But Schmidt is confident he has the law behind him and hints he plans to sell them abroad: "The pictures were not stolen. When you throw something away, you forfeit that property.

"We recognize the copyright issue, but U.S. copyright law stops at the border."

But he has given Cross the opportunity to buy the photos back, claiming he knows how wealthy she is after discovering her tax return in the trash as well.

Schmidt adds, "I'm not looking to mortify Ms. Cross. I just want the most money for my client. I know how much she made, but out of respect for Ms. Cross, I won't discuss it."

David Hans Schmidt is, for lack of a better word, scum.

Last year he got a hold of some of Paris Hilton's posessions from a storage locker she forgot about, and offered to sell the stuff to the highest bidder, or sell it all back to Paris of course.

Let that be a lseeon to you showbiz folks, be careful what you throw out, because there might me some shyster "lawyer" rooting through your trash.

People are stupid for having pics taken of them to begin with (nude). And then, leave them for garbage. One man's garbage is another man's treasure. And what a treasure trove!
