Forget Melrose! Marcia Cross Sticks to Wisteria Lane

Actress talks about new Melrose Place, Desperate Housewives and her own babies

Don't expect to see Marcia Cross ringing the doorbell at the newly renovated Melrose Place anytime soon.

In addition to having a good home on Wisteria Lane, the Desperate Housewives denizen admits she hasn't been asked and, well, her plate is pretty full.

"I'm really busy," she told E! News today at an event at St. Aloysius School in Harlem for Mott's Wake-Up Call America. "I say never say never, but it's not the first thing on my mind."

No, you're not crazy. That sense of déjà vu comes thanks to former original Melrose Place inhabitant Courtney Thorne-Smith saying exactly the same thing yesterday.

That wasn't all the ravishing redhead had to say about the prime-time soap's reboot, or a certain Housewife's departure...

When asked how she feels about a Melrose renaissance, Cross admitted, "I haven't really thought much about it. I really have almost no opinion except I wish them luck."

As for the show's newly announced star Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, she needed her rep to remind her who the "Pieces of Me" singer is. When she remembered the starlet had a baby, Cross was relieved.

"Oh, well then I'm really happy she has a job," she laughed. "That's how I think about it. Honestly, I'm sorry. That's how generational those things are."

Unfortunately, she couldn't say much about Nicollette Sheridan's much-publicized departure from her current neighborhood, but she did admit she was "very surprised" when she heard the news.

In addition to throwing a butterfly-themed party for twins Eden and Savannah's birthday, the hot mama has teamed with Mott's and Feeding America for the Wake-Up Call program. Cross recorded a special good morning message for the initiative, and, for every call scheduled at Motts.com, the applesauce makers are donating $1 to the hunger relief organization, in the hopes of providing 1 million meals.

Unfortunately, the actress' 30-second message doesn't come with a snooze button.

"I'm thinking, 'Oh, they don’t want to listen to me for that long when they've just woken up,' " she said. "Let's hope they've had their coffee."
