I’ve been wondering if I should post this or not, as I don’t like posting things concering Nicollette’s personal life. But this is just too sweet I need to share it.

The worst thing about the end of the relationship (with Sheridan) was losing your best friend in the world and your closest confidante.

It’s a cliche, but I just want Nicollette to be happy. You want the heat, the magic, the connection on every level, but ultimately it’s the bond of deepest friendship that’s the most powerful aspect to any relationship.

This is only a part of the article, you can read the rest here.

I bring to you one of my all time favourite interviews of Nicollette. Really intimate.

NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN BARES HER SOUL
“I’m not a home-wrecker and I’m not the vixen I played on ‘Knots Landing.’ I’m quite the antithesis of that”
By Mary Murphy

Her heart is broken. And it’s a surprise: Nicollette Sheridan is usually the one who breaks hearts. She sits huddled on a green lounge chair on the patio of her exquisitely decorated Bel-Air house, looking beautiful, without a touch of makeup. To an outsider, she has everything: youth, beauty, fame, wealth. She’s a princess in a Hollywood paradise and yet Sheridan herself doesn’t feel that way. For the past three months, except for working on the NBC movie ‘A Time To Heal‘, she’s been holed up in this palatial prison wondering what went wrong in her love affair with Michael Bolton.

“It’s been a really down period,” she says. “Three months ago, Michael and I slipt up. I spent a lot of time alone. It was a time to reflect. I had to look at my life… It was painful.”

This is certainly not the kind of conversation you would expect from Nicollette Sheridan. On Knots Landing, in which she played petulant vixen Paige Matheson for seven years, she was called The Brat, for speaking her mind and getting away with it. But it’s her rogue reputation with men that follows her everywhere. She’s known for lining up lovers like dominoes, then toppling them over. In the past few years she’s been linked with actor John Ritter, Knots Landing‘s Joey Gian, musician Roger Wilson, and movie mogul Jon Peters. In 1991 she married L.A. Law heartthrob Harry Hamlin, then left him for Bolton.

As if her real life weren’t steamy enough, Sheridan is the subject of endless tabloid speculation. One charged that she was dating Tori Spelling’s boyfriend, Nicholas Savalas. “He’s my [half-] brother!” she says. “They hooked me up with my own brother. You can’t win.”

Off-camera, Sheridan has always affected a tough, wisecraking persona. She’s a Hollywood heartbreaker who used to go off-road biking and dance on table tops. But sitting her in a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt, she’s softer than anyone would imagine.

“They just don’t get it,” says pal Jackie Collins, who met Sheridan when she starred in Collin’s TV miniseries Lucky/Chances. “It’s Nicollette the body, the blonde, and the boys. That’s all they see. They’re wrong. Nicollette is an old soul who is very wise, very smart, and very nurturing of her friends.”

Sheridan has always hidden behind her brazen image. It was easier to be a bad girl than a girl with a broken heart. “Throughout the years, I have really sort of laid low and kept to myself,” she says. “And, of course, therefore I have been picked on a lot, and people could fabricate whatever they felt like saying about me.” Now, she wants to explain herself and set the record straight.

This week, Sheridan is taking the biggest risk of her career when she appears as a woman who suffers a stroke during childbirth and has to reevaluate her life, in ‘A Time To Heal‘. But in just a few hours, she sill fly to Japan, where Bolton is touring, to try to put back together the pieces of her broken heart.

“I love him very much,” she wails, twirling her blond ponytail and looking very much like a love-struck teenager. “You know how they say that opposites attract. Well, Harry and I were opposites. But Michael and I are very much alike. And we are struggling to have the ultimate relationship.”

The past few months have been her own time to heal. She and Bolton have talked, they’ve learned from their mistakes, and they’re trying again.

Sheridan met Bolton in 1991. Hamlin was away and she went to a party with her closet friends, sax man Kenny G and his wife, Lyndie. “Michael was so funny,” shw says, remembering that meeting. “He makes me laugh more than anyone else I ever met.”

It wasn’t, she insists, love at first sight. “We weren’t dating when the press said we were having a relationship. It started off very slowly, but we did start dating soon after my split.”

She remembers her first trip on the road with Bolton. “I stood in the wings,” she says. “I watched him in awe. I couldn’t sing to save my life, so it’s incredible to see how he puts out so much emotion. I love watching him sing. And I love the fact that we’re not both actors and that he is successful in his field.”

She quickly learned how successful. Wherever he goes, he causes a ruckus. She doesn’t. At first, it was difficult. “Women freak out when they see him,” she says. “They just freak out. I can go to the grocery store, to the movies, or walk my dog in the park. It’s getting harder and harder for him to do anything like that. I definitely don’t create the kind of chaos he does.”

Is it threatening? “No,” she says. “I don’t feel threatened. Just scared.”

Today it’s turn for the Entertaiment Weekly issue of March 25 2005. That day there was 5 different covers featuring each of the housewives and, of course, Nicollette had her own.

I’m only typing the main article and Nicollette/Edie related things. But you can see the full scans here.

SECRETS & WIFE
Why we can’t stop talking about the Desperate women (and men) of Wisteria Lane.

If the debut of Sex and the City represented the brazen freedom women were feeling as they boozed, screwed, and made mounds of cash in the pre-bust late ’90s, Desperate Housewives marks the aftermath. Women are heading to the suburbs, choosing to stay home with the kids – and are incredibly self-aware about all the implications that follow. Housewives brilliantly exploits these insecurities: The suicide of neighbor Mary Alice boasts an uneasy Sylvia Path resonance; domestic items like measuring cups and knitting needles become foreboding weapons of mass destruction. Lynette’s (Felicity Huffman) addiction to her sons’ ADD medicine channels both the latest issue of O and a 1950s Redbook article about “mother’s little helpers.” Bree (Marcia Cross), the ultimate Housewife, is a women whose pearls and welltended garden make her as much a mid-century homemaker as a modern one. (In this case, keeping the home tidy means covering up her son’s hit-and-run DUI). With its picket fences and pastel houses, Wisteria Lane even resembles one of those conformist suburbs mocked in everything from American Beauty to The Stepford Wives. Then again, the neighborhood also looks a hell of a lot like our current landsapce, where we buy SUVs in the same creamy-dreamy colors as that KitchenAid mixer that’s basically a display piece.

Desperate Housewives fans who might have assumed that the addition of Drea de Matteo to the cast of the sixth season was a direct response to the departure of Nicollette Sheridan, take note!

“If they were actually trying to replace her, they would have hired someone 10 years younger and prettier than me,” Drea tells TIME magazine. “Even though she’s older than me, she’s way hotter. And I just had a baby, so I’m definitely not filling her hot sexy wardrobe.”

Another old interview of Nicollette’s. It’s from the April 2005 edition of Jezebel.
She talks about DH, things people would be surprised to know about her and one of the craziest experiences of her life!

ANYTHING BUT DESPERATE
By Beth Weitzman

Born in England and raised in London and Los Angeles, there’s far more to Nicollette Sheridan than meets the eye. Best known for her role as sexy vixen Paige Matheson in the successful drama series Knots Landing, Sheridan returned to series television in a big way as Edie Britt on the most talked-about show of the year, Desperate Housewives. She plays a familiar character-a sexy, brutally honest serial divorcee with a great sense of humor whose romantic endeavors keep neighbors buzzing. Just like the character she portrays, Sheridan believes the way to live life is to be straightforward, fun-loving and to see the glass as half full. She’s smart, sensitive and maintains one killer body. I had the chance to chat with Sheridan and it was a blast. From traveling to riding horses and a Harley, Sheridan is a very interesting character. And she’s even handy at home – who would have thought? We laughed as we reveled in the secrets of Wisteria Lane, shared stories of wild adventures and agreed that James Denton is one handsome guy.

So, you’re a dog lover. What kind do you have?
I have a Golden Retriever and a mutt. And you?

I have a King Charles Spaniel, her name is Jez. She’s my child.
It’s pathetic, isn’t it? We were discussing it the other day, because, if you have a child, you’re going to love the child more than your puppy. (Laughs)

That’s got to be tough, expecially when the dog comes first.
Yeah, I know.

I can’t even imagine it. At least dogs don’t whine and cry all the time… well, maybe sometimes. But you can leave a dog in a crate alone and say, ‘See you in a couple of hours.’ You can’t do that with a child.
Exactly. (Laughs) But [my dog] doesn’t go in a crate; he doesn’t know about being in a crate. No, not Oliver. He runs the house. If anybody goes in a crate, it’s me. (Laughs)

So you recently got engaged to Niklas Soderblom. Congratulations.
I did, thank you very much. He’s a wonderful man.

How did he propose?
I can’t tell you that. Some things are sacred.

Was it romantic?
It was very romantic. And it was very unusual.

With that, tell me more?
No, I just wanted to whet your appetite and leave you hanging. (Laughs)

Thanks a lot. Do you find that being in Hollywood and as successful as you are makes it difficult to maintain positive, loving relationships?
I think it’s probably difficult to maintain a positive, loving relationship anywhere in the world if you don’t have great communication. And, of course, a lot of love.

Desperate Housewives producer, Bob Daily, has talked about the new and past seasons and a few things about the characters of the show. He also was asked about Nicollette Sheridan’s departure last season.

JH: I thought the show handled Nicollette Sheridan leaving last year in a great way from a story perspective. How are you prepared for other actors to leave since the show is getting older?

BD: I think we felt with Nicollette that we hated to see her go but I always sort of felt that you put these characters in jeopardy and then the audience thinks, “They aren’t really going to kill them because they’re the stars of the show,” or that sort of jeopardy becomes false so it was very valuable for us to say to the audience, “We actually can kill them.” It might give us a little more oomph in the future but we don’t want to ever say never. I think there are certain people who are pretty safe but going forward, who knows. Going forward if people don’t want to be on the show anymore that’s certainly a possibility.

I meant to update with this early, but the new design got my attention completely. It’s almost finished, so I think I’ll be able to have it up next week.

In the meantime, here’s another old interview of Nicollette, Men’s Edge from May 2005. It brings great memories back from when the show started.

You can see the scans here.

THE TEMPTRESS OF WISTERIA LANE
Desperate Housewives‘ residen man-eater gives Men’s Edge a mouthful.
By A.D. Amorosi

Within the pop-cultural pantheon of nasty, nighttime soap operas, Nicollette Sheridan is the genre’s Scarlett O’Hara – aprickly, manipulative queen bee whose rule of the neighborhood is iron-fisted, even when she’s at her dewiest. On the Texas-sized cul-de-sac of Knots Landing, Sheridan’s character, Paige Matheson, always semed more duplicitous in her weepiness than she let on. She was the quintessential kittenish wife of the ’70s and ’80s (shoulder pads, high hair), but it always seemed as if there was a whip and a scratching post just off camera, well within her french-manicured grasp.

Perhaps that’s why Sheridan has taken so zealously to Edie Britt, her sex-siren, man-chomping character on Desperate Housewives.

Poisonously penned and conceived by Marc Cherry, Housewives instantly became the poor woman’s Sex and the City after its debut last year, with the deceptively plain, day-to-day existence of its stars – Sheridan, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman – replacing the languorous glamour of Sarah Jessica Parker and crew. Anyone who couldn’t relate to the haughty haute couture-ishness of Darren Star’s world could certainly pick up on the ritual bitchiness, sexual folly and critical dysfunction that this suburb’s carpools, hyper teens and tiny-minded man-children offer. Yet somehow, DH manages to come off as far more exotic than its metropilitan counterpart. Quick ejaculations and emasculations, affairs with hunky plumber neighbors, abstinence clubs, arson and mysterious boxes are all part of the chewed-upon scenery. In fact, more often than not, Desperate comes off like Twin Peaks albeit without backwards-talking midgets, or American Beauty with muscles.

No distaff denizen of Wisteria Lane is guiltier and more zealousy reckless than Sheridan. In her role as Edie, the bombshell-ish beauty (34B-24-35, says Celebrity Sleuth) combines the physical flirtiness of a teenager and the catty wiles of Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Wolf?‘s Martha. That dirty-girl aura has not only made her – and the show – a hit with network viewers and Golden Globes nominators, but with football fans too. Scandal junkies will no doubt recall Sheridan’s post-Nipplegate Monday Night Football promo, in which she attempted to lure Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens away from the game by dropping her towel in his locker room and offering another type of face-off.

No less revealing in her Men’s Edge interview, Sheridan held forth on an array of topics.

It’s not the american version that was for sale on September, but at least I finally got the interview.
Reading it made me want pack some bikinis and shorts and go to Bora Bora myself!

NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN AND NICKLAS SODERBLOM MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR ROMANTIC BREAK
OK! joins the Desperate Housewives star and her fiance on a romantic holiday in French Polynesia.
By Claire Isaac

The Pacific Ocean island of Bora Bora is the home of romance. And the Pearl Resorts, just off the coast of Bora Bora, are so romantic it seems a crime to be there without someone special. So it’s just as well Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan had her fiance Nicklas Soderblom? with her as they celebrated his 40th birthday on holiday there. The pair looked beaitufully relaxed throughout their trip, and who wouldn’t in this paradise, or at Le Taha’a Private Island & Spa, an exclusive resort a short helicopter ride away?

You can’t blame them for needing a little time out. Nicklas, a Swedish actor and stunman, is in big demand, and 41-year-old Nicollette’s role as Edie on Desperate Housewives is all-consuming, with filming, interviews and photo-shoots filling her days. Nicollette knows only too well the life of an actress on a hit TV series – after all, she spent seven years playing Paige on Knots Landing. In the past year, she’s been nominated for a Golden Globe, collected a Screen Actors Guild Award and been voted worst-dressed celebrity of 2004 in the States because of a risky choice made at the American Music Awards. Nicollette tells OK! Magazine with a laugh: “I’d rather be number one on the worst-dressed list than number two on the best-dressed list!”

Congratulations on your engagement, Nicollette. Tell us how you and Nicklas met…
We met in Malibu. Nicklas was on a surfboard and there was a huge great white shark that had come over from Catalina. I was doing my daily three-mile swim and I saw this fin and I swam as fast as I could and punched that shark right in the nose, repeatedly. And saved him [laughs]! Honestly!

Wow! And your ring is amazing…
Nicklas told me it took a really long time to find the right one. He’s a perfectionist!

How do you feel about this perfectionist man, Nicollette?
The most important thin in life is to love and be loved. One’s career doesn’t wrap its loving arms around you at night and I feel so lucky to have such a kind, compassionate and amazing man in my life.

Thanks for letting us come on holiday with you. Have you been to French Polynesia before?
No, neither of us has so we thought it would be a great place to come and get away. Little did we know that OK! Magazine would be involved! But it’s okay, we like you!

HOME WRECKER
Nicollette Sheridan may live on Wisteria Lane, but does she look desperate to you?
By Eric Alt

For many men, the words “desperate” and “housewives” inspire thoughts of late-night Skinemax movies and Oprah drones with shrieking babies in one hand and Valium in the other. Those of us, however, who’ve actually watched ABC’s twisted drama (which, happily, is more David Lynch than Days Of Our Lives) instantly envision Nicollette Sheridan. Yes, the only woman to star in both Knots Landing and Beverly Hills Ninja has found a home in Fairview. As her neighborhood’s femme fatale, Edie Britt tells it like it is, stirs up trouble, and rocks short shorts in a way that fills millions of soccer moms with envy. Get to know the woman giving a good name to bad marriages.

Was there a moment you thought, Am I really going to do something called Desperate Housewives?
I love the title! It was very interesting. When I’d bring it up to people, they’d say, “Oh, my God, they have to change the title.” I was like, “What are you, crazy? It’s so tongue in cheek, I love it.” You have to find the humor in it. And it’s caught on – 150 countries and counting.

Did you expect the program to blow up they way it has?
Absolutely not. I’ve never known of any show that’s taken off like this one. Before the pilot aired, there was buzz about the show as if it had already been on for six months. It was bizarre. Unlike anything I had ever heard of before. It’s amazing how people relate to these characters.

Do you see the show’s success as a blow against reality TV? In particular, we’re thinking of MTV I Want A Famous Face.
Absolutely! People were yearning for something they could really sink their teeth into. Hopefully, this will be it for reality TV. I think it is going to open the way for more shows of this nature. Whenever there’s something at this level, people jump on the wagon and try to re-create it.
