"Desperately" Seeking Damages
The TV season might be over, but another cliffhanger looms for a Wisteria Lane denizen.
Nicollette Sheridan's former manager sued her for more than $500,000 Thursday, alleging that the Desperate Housewives star broke an agreement to pay him a percentage of her income, after he encouraged her to try out for the soon-to-be-a-hit ABC show.
According to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Rob Lee is claiming that the 42-year-old actress hired him when her career "consisted primarily of occasional appearances on television," initially paid him 10 percent of her gross income and then stopped paying him after firing him in 2004.
The lawsuit also states that Lee stopped Sheridan from skipping out on a second Desperate Housewives audition, after which she obviously scored the role of Wisteria Lane's resident tramp, Edie Britt. (Not to be confused with any of Wisteria Lane's other resident tramps.)
Because of the series' critical and ratings success, the onetime Knots Landing fixture's "entertainment career was reborn," Lee said in the suit.
It's hard to argue against the notion that Sheridan's current job gave her a new lease on Hollywood life. Since the show's premiere in 2004, she has graced numerous magazine covers with her fellow Housewives, landed a spread in In Style, has had her clothing choices scrutinized on the red carpet, and got almost-naked before Monday Night Football. That looks like rejuvenated stardom to us.
After letting Lee go in 2004, Sheridan ended another relationship in 2005, splitting from her fiancé, actor Niklas Soderblom, after spending a year and a half together. Her former beau, 53-year-old singer Michael Bolton, apparently was all too happy to regain his post by her side, and the two announced their engagement in March. Sheridan recently collaborated with her future hubby on a duet of "The Second Time Around," featured on his new album, Bolton Swings Sinatra, which came out last month.
"I didn't think she was going to have the courage to step up to the microphone and record, and she did," Bolton told AP Radio.
To muster the nerve, maybe Sheridan summoned her inner Edie.
