We recently featured Eva Longoria as our woman of the week – she to my mind was by far the hottest of the cast of Desperate Housewives…

Teri Hatcher has to be running a close second. Most of us would have first noticed her in The New Adventures of Superman which first came to our screens back in 1993! Yes, it really was that long ago! And, she seemed a natural choice for a ‘hot housewife’ when Desperate Housewives appeared.

She hit the headlines in 2006 when she told of being abused as a child, and helped with the conviction of her uncle on four counts child molestation after one of his later victims – a fourteen year old girl committed suicide. It’s a terrible shame she couldn’t have got him earlier – but having lived with someone who was abused as a child I understand the issue is often far from as simple as it looks. At least he had to face what he had done in the end – and thankfully he has since died in prison – so will never have the opportunity to do it again. Good for you Teri…!

Who would be wanted to be treated Doctor Elliot Reid from Scrubs. Almost worth getting sick for! Of, course she’s only a character – Sarah Chalke the Canadia  actress (33) who plays her is pretty hot too!

Have to admit I have had a thing about Kim Cattrall since first seeing in Mannequin – which was made way, way back in 1987! That’s 23 years ago (for anyone who can’t be bothered to count). Kim Cattrall at the time of Mannequin exactly fitted the bill of my perfect woman – she was flawless. And hell doesn’t she look great now – even at 53 years old.

Kim’s career history is impressive and long, including some major roles including her appearance in Star Trek VI – The Undiscovered Country though I do think it wasn’t until her appearance as Samantha Jones in Sex and the City

- her sex crazed character was the reason I was able to sit and watch a chick show like that, as I’m sure it was for many other guys. Who doesn’t love a horny older woman! Read the rest of this entry »

There’s no doubt that Eva Longoria is a serious babe – I’ve though so, ever since she came to prominence on our screens as the horny Mrs Robinson style minx Gabrielle in Desperate Housewives. By far the most attractive of the cast in my opinion – with Teri Hatcher coming a close second (who I thought looked far better as Lois Lane in the New Adventures of Superman before hand.

For me Eva Longoria made this particular ‘chick show’ really quite watch-able. It’s amazing what a bit of eye candy can do for ratings sometimes. I think Desperate Housewives is an example of where the producers got the balance right in order to attract male viewers to – though probably not for the storyline!

I think my jaw must have dropped the first time I saw her – in my view one of the most stunning women in the world at the moment… She came in at number 41 in the World’s Sexiest Women 2009 poll run by FHM – way, way to low when you consider that the little stick insect Keira Nightly was five places above her… Read the rest of this entry »

Writing about Sofia Vergara last week and how it seems to me that Modern Family is an updated version of Married With Children got me thiking…. About Christina Applegate.

If you were around in the 80’s and 90’s it would have been difficult not to notice Christina Applegate as Kelly Bundy in Married With Children as the archetypal dumb blonde teenager. I loved the series – without it there would have been no Modern Family, nor I guesss a plethora of other comedies of this genre – there was something very clever about Married With Children… I’ve often wondered to if the series was a possible inspiration or influence for The Simpsons.

She’s had a rough time the last couple of years having had breast cancer and subsequently a double mastectomy. Read the rest of this entry »
