Thank you, Dana Delaney. The Desperate Housewives star hit the red carpet for the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards tonight in Los Angeles and was in quite a gossipy mood.

Dana confirmed a few Wisteria Lane rumors that have been floating around for the past two days, and here's how it went down. (Don't read past the jump if you don't want it spoiled.)

We hear your character, Katherine, might be pregnant on the show. Is that true?
I heard that one today, too. I think that would be really a miracle if I got pregnant. I do know that Mike [James Denton] and I have a romantic announcement.

You and Mike are getting engaged?
Possibly.

But aren't Susan (Teri Hatcher) and Jackson (Gale Harold) getting engaged?
Yep.

And Katherine and Mike are getting engaged, too?
Yep.

So, that's a yes to you're both getting engaged?
Yes. I hope I don't get in trouble.

How does your proposal go down?
It's funny the way it goes down. Let's say that Katherine knows what she's doing.

Wait, do you propose to him?
[She gave us a coy look, raised her eyebrows and laughed.]

I'll take that as a maybe.
Actually, the proposal is very Mike-like. That's all I'll say.

Before you get too excited, consider this: Just because there are two proposals doesn't necessarily mean there will be two answers of "yes" to those proposals, or two weddings.

We caught up with Teri Hatcher at the Desperate Housewives Paley Fest panel on Saturday afternoon and asked her if she says "yes" to Jackson's proposal, and she told us, "I can't tell you that." But she did dish this: "The first scene where [Gale's] back on the street is really spicy. It was really great to see him again and I think all that came across on film, so it's great to have him back."

If Susan and Jackson do get hitched, show creator Marc Cherry might end up putting a wrench in their happiness down the road. On the topic of Susan and Mike getting back together, Marc told the Paley audience, "The idea is, we'll get back there. I don’t know when. If ABC makes a deal with all of us, it looks like we have a few years to play this out, so I would imagine at some point in time Susan and Mike will find their way back in each other's universe.

Denton hopes to be back in Hatcher's universe sometime soon, too. He tells us, "I loved working with Teri for the first four seasons and hopefully will continue to. I think in the big picture, most people hope Mike and Susan will make their way back around to each other, but right now it’s Mike and Katherine. Mike and Katherine are a weird couple, which is kind of fun, but it makes sense because Katherine is the anti-Susan. She's very stable, there's no drama, so it's easy to see why Mike is drawn to her."

What do you think of the two potential engagements? Do you like these couples, or do you hope that Susan and Mike will find their way back to each other one day?
