ABC/Andrew EcclesWhile NBC kills shows right and left, ABC just signed Marc Cherry's cougar juggernaut, Desperate Housewives, for two more years, inside Housewives sources reveal exclusively to the Awful Truth.
The soap starring Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria-Parker, Nicolette Sheridan, among myriad hot young men and even hotter middle-aged Hollywood babes, was supposed to end this May with the finale for season 7. But, that's not quite what went down.
"Marc was cutting a cake when he announced it," beamed our DH veteran. "He couldn't have been happier—this show isn't going anywhere." Fab! So glad to hear! Even gladder to discover that "more" gay characters are going to be introduced. Love how this soap's becoming the boob-tube anti-Christ to Prop 8 supporters. Hang on, all you traditional marriage believers. ABC's got news for you.
Congrats, Marc, very well done.
