The fourth season of Desperate Housewives hasn't even started, but the set is already a war zone again- with the catty stars taking bets on how long Eva Longoria's marriage will last. The lead actresses on the show are battling over everything from story lines, to trailers to photo shoots, say sources. The atmosphere on the set is so toxic that cast members are making bets about whether Eva's TV marriage will outlast her off-screen wedding, reveals a series insider.
The cat claws are out like never before, and the actresses' inability to to get along is causing headaches for producers, writers and crew members. And the one joke that's keeping a smile on people's faces is at Eva's expense.
"When ABC needs a photo of the Housewives together- Eva, Teri, Marcia, Felicity and Nicolette- it's always a problem because they refuse to sit together for an extended period," divulged the insider.
"When the marketing department recently needed new pictures of the furious five, a photographer had to take their photos separately and put them together because the actresses refused to pose as a group."
Now there is another costly problem on the set. "Producers recently agreed to have a huge, new 53-foot makeup trailer built for the show, so each actress would have her own style chair and not have to share- but the Housewives boycotted it," said the insider.
"It was a total waste of money because the actresses refused to use a central styling center. Each star demanded that the hair and makeup people come to her own custom-made trailer."
To make matters even worse, producers often have to alter the scripts to keep the stars happy, said the insider.
How quickly they forget how easy it is to become a has-been. Most of them already being on the list before. I wish Felicity would just get away from the others. In my opinion she has alot more going for her!
ReplyDeleteFelicity knows it as well. Compare that photo from Season 1 with Teri Hatcher being the one usually in the middle. Now Felicity's the cock of the walk.
ReplyDeleteI ALSO QUESTION THIS INFO. HOW COULD THE SHOW STILL BE A GO WITH ALL THIS FIGHTING? BY NOW SOMEONE WOULD HAVE LEFT THE PROGRAM LIKE ELVIS LEFT THE BUILDING
ReplyDeleteThey all signed multi-year deals. That's why they can't fire problevams.
ReplyDeleteCancel it already! The show sucks anyway! Felcity get your own show. The others back to your dens.
ReplyDeleteThis story left out how Marcia wears a coat made from the fur of puppies and Teri moisturizes her skin with the blood of production assistants and Eva forced ABC to hire someone to throw rose petals before her as she walks to the set. Gimme a break already. I'm sure they don't all get along all the time, but we rarely, if ever, get these kinds of stories about all-male casts.
ReplyDeletefelicity is the only one of these chicks with the acting chops to do something besides bad tv drama.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Benjamin and some of the others... these are grown women. I find it very hard to believe that they are divas to the extent that they won't sit for press pictures together. Weren't most of them together for Eva's wedding, anyway? I can believe there is tension from time to time, but not to the extent that this "source" claims.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more that they were all has-beens and never were's when they got this show...
ReplyDeleteIf they all had any sense they would be endorsing every flippin product that would have them... pray the show last till its 6 season. So at least you will have enough money to live on when no one will employee your harpy butt.
