As a primetime soap opera, Desperate Housewives has remained a popular
ABC show due to its sordid storylines and intriguing scenarios.
But nothing that's happened on Wisteria Lane can compare to what a former star is accusing the show's creator of doing: in a documents filed today, Nicollette Sheridan accuses Marc Cherry of assault and battery, gender violence and wrongful termination.
According to TMZ, she's suing him for over $20 million, stating that Cherry acted "in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner toward the individuals who work on the show."
Specifically, Sheridan alleges that Cherry struck her across the face in 2008.

Specifically, Sheridan alleges that Cherry struck her across the face in 2008.
This is what supposedly went down:
On September 24, the actress questioned a
development in the script. According to the lawsuit, "Cherry took her
aside and forcefully hit her with his hand across her face and head."
From there, the papers read, Cherry went to Sheridan's trailer to
"beg forgiveness." ABC was notified of the situation, but failed to act.
The suit also claims that Cherry once
discovered that Teri Hatcher went behind his back to complain about him.
His alleged response? "I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car
and dies."
Soon after these
incidents, plans were made to terminate Sheridan from the show. Her
character was killed off last season.
For
now, these are nothing more than allegations. As Desperate
Housewives winds down its season, though, there's a good chance the
drama behind the scenes will continue through the summer.

Sandra Bullock-Jesse James Divorce Countdown: Actress Prepares Papers, Jackass Leaves Rehab
Sandra Bullock has reportedly
drawn up divorce papers, having gone through the stages of anger and
surprise and started planning her next move.
While nothing is official, this intel is sketchy at best and no announcement has been made from either Sandra or Jesse James, it wouldn't shock us.
“Her attitude toward Jesse hasn’t softened since she found out he was cheating on her,” a close source said. “She’s been betrayed and cheated on."
"She’s not getting over that.”
The Oscar winner’s husband has been tied to four alleged mistresses - Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, Melissa Smith, Brigitte Daguerre and one other.
However, new reports indicate (anonymously, thank you Radar Online) that James admitted to Sandra that there was a total of seven mistresses.
Jesse was
reportedly in rehab in Arizona receiving treatment for sex addiction,
although he is rumored to have left late last night or this morning.
Although Jesse’s lawyer described him as "a broken man" of his own volition and wanting to save his marriage, Bullock sources said that’s unlikely.
There was a moving van at the house this weekend. Enough said?
“Why would she want to get back with him after what he did to her,” the source said. "But she’s a strong woman, and she’s doing the best she can.”
Part of her coping strategy, perhaps, is that Sandra has reportedly drawn up divorce papers, although like Elin Woods, she has yet to file them.
The source said Sandra is not even discussing details: “Right now she’s very closed. After everything she’s been through, who can blame her.”
What do you think? Sandra Bullock should ...

Out, About, Adorable: Kendra and Her Hanks
While a handful of
celebrities were celebrating Jesus Christ's resurrection at exclusive
parties yesterday, Kendra Wilkinson took a more subdued approach to
the holiday.
She led husband Hank Baskett and son Hank Baskett IV on a walk through the park. Unlike the football during the New Orleans Saints' onside kick following halftime of this January's Super Bowl, Hank didn't drop his son...
Regarding
her tall drink of water, Kendra recently gushed to OK! Weekly:
“I have a great man who wants to be there. He changes diapers, no problem. In fact, while I was in New York last week, he sent me pictures of the baby’s poop!”
TMI, K Dubs. TMI!
Still, we must hand it to the family: they make for adorable photo subjects, even when they likely called in the paparazzi to snap these shots of them on a Sunday afternoon. Click on each picture for a closer view...

Tiger Woods Press Conference: Subdued Golfer Apologizes, Dodges Questions at The Masters
Set to tee it up this week for
the first time since his shocking sex scandal, Tiger Woods fielded
questions at a press conference at The Masters moments ago.
The embattled golfer refused to say why he entered rehab but stressed that he is not addicted to prescription drugs and apologized to fellow players and fans.
"I know that the players have been bombarded by questions ... and the public as well," Woods began. "A lot has happened in my life the past five months."
While seemingly sincere and more relaxed than in his initial apology statement in February, Woods dodged specific questions of his now-infamous car crash.
"I had a busted up lip and a pretty sore neck. That was it," Woods said, insisting that following the accident, he did everything "to the letter of the law."
Woods was asked numerous questions about Dr. Anthony Galea, HGH, and using Vicodin and Ambien; only one alluding to Joslyn James text messages.
He also confirmed that Elin Woods will not attend the tournament this week. Some excerpted lines from Tiger Woods' press conference today below ...
On dominating golf while leading a double life: "Winning golf tournaments throughout all of this has been irrelevant compared to the pain that I've caused to my family, my kids ... I'm going to have to explain all this to them."
On whether he left too many loose ends - text messages and such - and whether there was a part of him that actually wanted to get caught: "I don't know."
On the weight lifted from him: "I'm no longer living a lie."
On his new mentality: "In order to help people you have to first learn to help yourself ... I take full responsibility for what I've done. I don't take that lightly."
On pursuing Jack Nicklaus' record 18 major golf championships (Tiger currently has 14): "It's not about winning championships, it's about how you live your life ... I have not done that the right way for a while. I can be a better man going forward."

"The times have changed." - Tiger Woods
One of the hardest parts of coming back: "The constant harassment to
my family. My wife and kids being photographed everywhere they go,
being badgered. It's tough ... difficult on them, because it makes it
tough for us to heal."On dominating golf while leading a double life: "Winning golf tournaments throughout all of this has been irrelevant compared to the pain that I've caused to my family, my kids ... I'm going to have to explain all this to them."

Tony Dovolani Predicts Big Things From Kate Gosselin on Dancing with the Stars Tonight
Kate Gosselin is going to wow
us tonight.
With her dance moves, not her diva-like behavior. Or so says her partner, Tony Dovolani, who Tweets: "Paso Doble is going to be Kate's best dance :-)"
That's not saying much. However, Kate's much-maligned DWTS counterpart adds that "Kate is doing a great job. I'm looking forward to tomorrow :-)"
Gosselin began rehearsing at 6:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday for the dance. But that didn't stop the mother of eight from quality time with the family too.
"The kids woke up early to Easter baskets on the table at their assigned place. I already had been up dancing for an hour and came upstairs at precisely 7:30 a.m. to watch all their faces as they dove into their overflowing baskets!" she blogged.
Will the audience respond with similar enthusiasm tonight? Or will they scream in horror at her dancing terribleness and whining? We'll have to wait and see.
Regardless, Kate says she'll be approaching it with a new attitude, writing on blog that her partner "deserves a medal" for helping console her frayed nerves.
Can a renewed spirit and a Jon and Kate-themed routine help her win over the judges and voters on Dancing with the Stars tonight? Tune in and find out!

The eight Gosselins then watched mom
rehearse downstairs.
"After they filled their bellies with a
mixture of chocolate and jelly beans, I returned to the basement to
complete my routine once more, and then in standard fashion, we danced
our routine for the kids, who clapped and screamed," Kate reports.Will the audience respond with similar enthusiasm tonight? Or will they scream in horror at her dancing terribleness and whining? We'll have to wait and see.

Taylor Lautner Shirtless Scene: Deleted from New Moon
New Moon was a solid
follow-up to Twilight. But we know one way in which the sequel
could have been even better:
More Taylor Lautner shirtless!
Granted, we were privy to a number of scenes in which Jacob eschewed a shirt... but would anyone have objected to one or two (dozen) more?
Fortunately, a couple weeks after the New Moon DVD hit stores, a deleted, five-minute scene from the film has been released. In it, Jacob visits Bella's room, tries to explain himself and, most importantly, is half-naked. Peep it now:

Gerard Butler: Dating Laurie Cholewa?
Looks like Jennifer Aniston
doesn't have Gerard Butler all to herself.
While he was seen grabbing that booty in Paris recently, setting off rumors once again that he and Jennifer are a couple (or at least friends with benefits), new reports say he struck up a relationship with Laurie Cholewa that same weekend.
Butler met Cholewa, a local TV interviewer, the prior weekend, then returned to Paris midweek for a date with Laurie Cholewa that stretched from day into night.
Sounds serious! Or at least like they were having a nice time.
They had dinner on the Left Bank that same evening.
A source reports that despite all of the Jennifer Aniston rumors, Butler "completely cracked" for Cholewa during their interview about The Bounty Hunter.
Cholewa, a film reporter, hosts a show on local cable channel, Direct 8. Poor Jen. First the worst Hollywood split ever and now she still can't get a break.

Lauren Conrad Dishes on BFFs, Hair Extensions
Who better than reality
TV’s favorite BFF to cover the“Friendship” issue of Glamour?
Lauren Conrad does the honors, joined by friends Whitney Port and Lo
Bosworth.
“They’re my support system,” says Lauren, who went on to divulge a rare confession about her famously shiny, wavy hairstyle: “These are all extensions.”
Gasp.
“I chopped my hair off to my shoulders. I thought I was doing a chic bob. It was so bad,” says the chick lit novelist and designer, who also dishes on body image.
“I’ve never felt a push to be stick thin,” the 24-year-old says. “I try my best to work out and eat healthy, so mostly it’s about being in shape and having energy.”
While she left The Hills (click here for the final season trailer), and is in the public eye a lot less, she seems healthier and happier than ever. Makes you think!
Our gallery of Lauren Conrad pictures proves, you don't have to dress scantily (cough, Kristin Cavallari) or get a ton of plastic surgery (cough, Heidi Montag) to be beautiful. It's nice that young girls have a role model like this one.

A great support system always helps -
especially when you're dealing with body issues every girl faces but
living under a microscope in L.A., Lauren Conrad says.
But
even with all that work, the star has to accept her imperfections.

did that come from?’ I went through treatments; [my body] was like, It’s
not going anywhere.’”While she left The Hills (click here for the final season trailer), and is in the public eye a lot less, she seems healthier and happier than ever. Makes you think!
