Isn’t Michael sweet?

Michael Bolton has pledged his support for ex-fiancee Nicollette Sheridan as she fights a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry.

The actress filed suit against Cherry last month (Apr10) alleging he slapped her during an on-set argument about a scene. Sheridan also claims he fired her when she complained about his behaviour.

Her co-stars Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria Parker have all spoken out in support of Cherry, but Bolton is taking Sheridan’s side – despite splitting from the blonde two years ago.

He says, “I’m totally supportive of her. There has been some wicked stuff in the news but my vote is for her prevailing. She’s going to be fine.”

And Bolton admits he has struggled to find love since the couple parted, adding, “It’s hard because I am touring nine or ten months a year so I don’t think I have time.”

The singer proposed to Sheridan in 2006 but they called off their engagement in 2008.

As you might know by now Nicollette did the chorus on Voices That Care video to support the US troops 1991 and she also sang The Second Time Around on her then-fiancée Bolton’s album. Not bad for someone terrified of singing in public, right?

But these aren’t the only connections Nicollette has had with the music industry. Back in 1992, she was featured on Julie Brown’s Vague, a spoof of Maddona’s Vogue. Her name is heard around 0:36

While I got this idea from Josh Henderson’s fans about his new pilot, I’ve been thinking about doing something like this ever since I hear about Nicollette’s new show. I should have started this before because in less than a month CBS will announce the new shows for the 2010/2011 season.

Unless the petition receives lots of support I’m not planning on sending it to CBS directly; the main idea is to create some buzz about the show in the internet and that it gets to their ears.

Please, sign and spread the word. We need Nicollette on our tvs every week again!

Today, April 19, is the 1st year anniversary of Edie’s death on Desperate Housewives; when Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know aired. We’ve been mourning for one year the lost of our favourite tv character and I’ve decided to post this tribute video of the last months of Edie’s life.

The video is made by Dennis, who used La Valse Des Montres by Yann Tiersen.

Just letting you guys know that now you can access the site from http://nicollette-sheridan.com as well.

I just added 3 HQ stills from the 1995 movie Virus.

I said I was going to report any official saying on the matter, even if this is a fansite for her and those statements don’t agree with her.
But from my personal point of view, just because their personal experience hasn’t been bad, doesn’t mean Nicollette wasn’t; and they don’t exactly deny Nicollette’s claims. And after all, they’re ABC & Cherry’s employees, I never expected them to do otherwise. But I agree singling out Teri on the lawsuit wasn’t appropiate.

A line has been drawn on Wisteria Lane.

Desperate Housewives stars Eva Longoria Parker, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman issued a joint statement Tuesday pledging their support for show creator Marc Cherry in a lawsuit filed by Nicollette Sheridan.

“It would be irresponsible of us to let the public believe that being a part of this show from its inception has been anything but a blessing,” the statement says. “We have no first-hand knowledge of what Nicollette may or may not have experienced, but we would never characterize our set as a hostile environment.

“It is, in fact, the opposite,” the statement continues. “The friendships and support that Marc Cherry, the cast, the crew and the producers have shared for the past six years have made this a wonderful job that we are grateful for every day.”

Hatcher, who plays housewife Susan on the show, separately expressed concern that the actress was singled out in the lawsuit alleging Cherry hit Sheridan in the face and that her Edie Britt character was killed off when she complained about him. Sheridan’s suit alleged that when Hatcher went over Cherry’s head to complain about him to ABC executives, he told Sheridan, “I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies.”

The statement said it was “unfortunate and inappropriate” for Sheridan’s attorneys to have mentioned Hatcher without her authorization.

Hatcher says: “While my adoration and respect for the classic and dynamic chemistry of the characters of Susan and Edie is indelible, I’m honored to stand with Eva, Felicity and Marcia, as a group and clarify that our set environment is nothing less than an amazingly positive experience. I have never felt discriminated against. In fact, I have felt heard and respected by Marc and other executives in regards to both my professional and personal needs.”

I’ve been debating with myself the whole weekend if I should post this. I’m not gonna re-post every article that is written about the lawsuit, only the ones with official statements either made by Nicollette, ABC or Cherry or with real developments. I will, however, comment other news about this via twitter.
But I think this article is really interesting and I’ve been told the author’s credentials are legitimate and that Nicole LaPorte is willing to attach her name to an article like this suggest it is truthful. And it also gives an insight why she’s suing for sex discrimination too.
Also, for the first time they’re not just “sources”; but, while still unnamed, we get to know what kind of work these people did on the show. Until now, everybody supposedly talking were actual employees.

In the wake of Nicollette Sheridan’s lawsuit against Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry and ABC, former staffers on the show voice their own gripes to Nicole LaPorte—describing clashes on the set, Cherry’s oft-spoken desire to kill off Sheridan’s character, and Teri Hatcher’s blueberry pancake meltdown.

Stories of diva behavior on and off the set of Desperate Housewives are by now legendary. Ever since the infamous Vanity Fair cover shoot that dissolved into a lady brawl during the show’s first season, no one has ever imagined that working there is idyllic.

But in the days following the news that former Housewives co-star Nicollette Sheridan is suing the show’s creator, Marc Cherry, and ABC Studios for assault, gender violence, and wrongful termination, among other things, it’s emerging that it’s not only the actresses’ behavior that has caused waves. Regardless of what happened between Cherry and Sheridan, and the suit’s eventual outcome, a number of sources who spoke to The Daily Beast said that Cherry does indeed create a difficult work environment in which clashes with actors and writers are routine.

“He will dress you down in front of the staff. He will assault an idea,” said one former staffer. “He is very confrontational in this way. He has hissy fits.”

Though the sources—all of whom were formerly on staff on Desperate Housewives—said that Cherry is not physically abusive and cannot imagine him hitting or slapping someone with an intent to hurt, as Sheridan is claiming that Cherry did, they unanimously say that to work for Cherry, especially if you are a woman, is to be marginalized and demeaned.

“He hates women,” said one person who has worked on set. “It’s apparent on set that he’s a fan of cute, gay men, not women.”
