"A gang of lunatics"

Looks like they need to lock Marcia Cross up and throw away the key to the padded cell:

http://www.thewgalchannel.com/entertainment/4347897/detail.html

The first stipulation was that Hatcher not be allowed to go into wardrobe first: "None of the other women wanted her to get to wardrobe first," Zeman told "Access Hollywood." "I think they felt that Teri always shows up earlier and gets the best clothes so there was some anxiety praying that she'd not get there first which of course she did."

The second, according to Zelman, was that Hatcher not be in the middle of any group shot. But apparently she was, standing smack dab in the middle of Nicolette Sheridan and Cross.

* * * * *
"Eventually Marcia Cross refused to stand next to her and started screaming to her publicist in this kind of profanity-laced tirade saying, 'Get over here and do your bleeping job or you're going to be in bleeping trouble,'" Zeman told "Access Hollywood."

* * * * *
"I have never experienced anything like this in my entire life. I've never seen publicists essentially try to grab the camera away from a photographer. (But) I've never seen them use profanity and threaten people and I've never seen people cry and storm off like that," Zeman said.

Zeman claimed that Hatcher burst into tears during a break in the shoot.

"I think Teri was upset for a number of reasons," Zeman said. "She is, out of all the women, oddly, the most sensitive and maybe the most high-strung. She cries easily and I think it was a big surprise to her that not only had a rule been laid down that she wasn't going to be in the center, but that one of her co-stars was that upset about it. I think it was a little humiliating to her."

* * * * *
"I would say Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan both were extremely consistently professional," Zeman told the show. "Nobody really crossed the line except for Marcia Cross, who really crossed the line and was humiliating people and generally making it difficult for everyone."

ABC is trying to sweep the meltdown under the rug, but more fun details are included here:
http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1002854
The magazine's contributing editor Ned Zeman wrote it took 100 "primpers" to ready the TV show's five divas for a simple poolside cover shoot that, nevertheless, degenerated into an obscenity-laced, tear-soaked episode, TVGuide.com said Tuesday.

Marcia Cross reportedly became enraged at Terri Hatcher for allegedly hogging the spotlight with a risque red bathing suit, eventually yelling expletives at ABC staffers and finally, in a pique of rage, tearing off her wig to reveal a memorable scar.

I saw this on Access Hollywood. They had Teri in her red bathing suit off to the side. They were talking about the problems. I thought it was a joke at first because it seemed so childish.

I saw the tail end of it and didn't know the whole story. How freakin stoopid! I hope this doesn't cause long term problems.

I suppose they can always kill off a troublemaker.
We haven't seen much of Bree's stalker lately, he could be brought back.

That's a wig?!!!

Psst! Buggy! Over here!

*whispers*

I think it's a play on a Melrose Place episode where the total beyotch character, Kimberly (played by Cross), rips off her wig to reveal a huge scar that she has from a car accident.

"Yep"

Yeah, it's the Melrose Place joke all right.

No wonder they use this woman to play b--ches.

True dat.

I have a feeling that in real life, Ms. Cross is the exactly the same as her charcters. AND, I think she's just gellus that Teri's waaaay hotter.

Really? I think the character of Bree steals the show. Terri's character, I can't even remember the name.. just seems to 'be' Terri being herself at least from the interviews I've heard dating back to Lois & Clark days. Nothing wrong with that of course, and she's cute, it's just not acting.


To be honest I worked in LA for about 5 years and this behavior is NOTHING. I can't believe it even made the news.. it sounds more like a calculated leak to stir the buzz up again since they were off the air for 5 weeks.

Could be. But generally Hollywood stars keep their bad behavior away from staged photo shoots. If the photographer walks out, your cover shot is over. So I expect that this really is unusual.

Hollywood types generally save their bad behavior for clubs and openings. This wouldn't even be worth a story if it had happened there.

Thanks Kitten, I missed the whole Melrose thing.


Sheesh, I hate it when I don't "get" the joke.

Welcome to my life.

I wonder if this is all bad feelings because Teri Hatcher makes more money on the show than the others.
"RE: A gang of lunatics"

I would not be surprised if that's what it was about. Anytime a member of an ensemble gets more money/attention than the others, hard feelings follow. What a shame that she couldn't deal with it privately.

She just makes herself look bad. (of course this gains more attention for her so maybe this is what she wanted)

All four women need to take a page out of the cast of Friends handbook and ask for equal salary, since they show works very well with all 4 of them, and they are suppose to be the co-leads.

well, that's what all of them - except Teri Hatcher - wanted to do.
