• A representative for Nicollette Sheridan (Edie Britt) confirmed that she is engaged to singer Michael Bolton, according to People. "Nicollette and I are very serious about each other," said Bolton in January. "I am very committed. It is a very special time in my life. I have a good feeling about the future." They originally dated in the '90s, and reportedly rekindled their romance after she split from fiancé Nicklas Soderblom.

• DOSE said that Nicollette Sheridan has bought a dress for her wedding. "[The gown is] strapless, ivory and has a fishtail hem," said a "source".

• Eva Longoria (Gabrielle Solis) said she has crushes on her neighbors, reported Mykindaplace. "[Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson and Eva Mendes] come to my place loads of times. That's our gang. They're my crushes. I have intense love for these women," she said.

• Eva Longoria allegedly asked for less nude scenes, said Digital Spy "I didn't realize how much lingerie I'd be in and how much I'd be in the bath tub," she said. "Filming is nerve-wracking, I'm constantly worrying about how I'm being filmed."

• Brenda Strong (Mary Alice Young) admitted that drastic weight loss caused her to become infertile. "It was a combination of stress, age, and the impact that drastic weight loss had on my body," she said, reported contactmusic.com. "A trainer got me in the so-called best shape of my life. Well apparently my body disagreed because I wasn't cycling normally and you can't get pregnant if you're not ovulating."

• The New York Post alleged that George Clooney dumped Teri Hatcher (Susan Mayer) leaving her "emotionally shattered", reported ANI. But Clooney slammed the report, branding it another "tabloid" tale, reported ET!. "She would never say that," he said. "I know the story is attractive but it isn't true and it takes away from her brave decision [to reveal she was sexually assaulted]."

• Fametraker published a "fame audit" of Teri Hatcher, looking at her profile, her assets and her liabilities. But it was not positive about Desperate Housewives. "The show's success, we have to admit, is a particular sticking point with us, because it is so vastly overrated and overpraised, the sort of show that lazy TV viewers think is really smart (see also: Nip/Tuck)—and even they are starting to notice in its second season that Emperor Marc Cherry has no clothes (if by 'clothes,' you mean 'idea what to do with these characters' or 'ability to tell a story' or 'concept of basic chronology'). But it was a hit, merited or not, and Hatcher-as the biggest star among the Housewives [...] was entitled to reap some of the fame benefits."

• The Mercury News has profiled the neighborhood where Teri Hatcher's uncle, who sexually assaulted her and caused a young girl to commit suicide, lived before he was jailed. "It definitely changed the neighborhood," said one resident, "and it changed the way everybody feels about who they trust."

• Another week, and another romance rumor. Having moved on from George Clooney, tabloid whispers now attach Teri Hatcher to American Idol host Ryan Seacreast, according to FemaleFirst.co.uk. "Teri really enjoys his company," a "source" told The Sun.

• The set of Desperate Housewives has been overrun by rats and racoons according to WENN. A "source" said: "Somebody even saw a mountain lion around the craft-services area a while ago."
