The Awful Truth

ABC/Ron Tom

As our own Kristin Dos Santos reported last week, a plane (possibly Lost related) is going to be crashing down on Wisteria Lane. What's it all mean?

Now, with Nicollette Sheridan having been axed, there are some bitchy B-cups to fill. And since Nic was famously the gal to hate, onscreen and off, the main girls are left clawing at each other over on Wisteria Lane.

So who's going to possibly be killed off by this plane crash? And what's even juicier: Is it who everyone on the set wants to be killed off?

Eva Longoria Parker, is that you're name we're hearing?

Spoiler alert! Rumored plot points spilled after the jump! Spoiler alert!

Sharon Stone knows how to stay quasi-relevant, I'll give her that much. At 51, the Oscar-nominated actress had the guts to pose topless in a raunchy leather getup for France's Paris Match.

And if that superslim crotch area looks familiar, remember she showed it all in Basic Instinct. That, of course, was also a great stunt the now mom-to-three pulled off to notorious, winning reviews.

Think Paula Abdul and Nicollette Sheridan would still have their jobs if they knew how to strut, strip and shape their bods as Stone shows she still can? Let's get real, here. Older gals in H'wood are totally screwed, especially with...

With all the drama surrounding Paula Abdul's possible exit from season nine of American Idol (her reps all but confirmed it this weekend), you have to think about what the hell is going to happen to the most popular show in America right now.

Sure, Paula is one troubled little crumbled cookie (and her often disastrous tabloid headlines aren't really lending a hand to the big comeback that she's been talking about for years). But isn't the reason Idol went from OK talent competition to colossal, megaphenom juggernaut partly owed to Paula's oft-zany antics? She was always the unintentional and often parodied comic relief, and that's kept viewers tuning in for almost a decade.

Nobody watched the show for Paula, but she definitely didn't hurt things, either.

Then there's that freshly axed hausfrau in hot pants over on Wisteria Lane. Jeez, what's with all these programs kicking their best bitches to the curb?

When Desperate Housewives canned Nicollette Sheridan last season, the mourning wasn't that overwhelming, but looking ahead to next season, can't you just tell how boring it will be without the snarling Edie Britt to liven things up on the sometimes blah, Waspy show? Where's a lunatic in inappropriate everything when you need her?

Both shows, I say, benefit from the tension that comes with employing a bothered chick whose extracurricular tabloid troubles equal massive viewership. If Kate Gosselin has taught us anything, it's that being cursed in the headlines means being blessed in the ratings. Listen up, execs.

We're totally disappointed our naughtier, TV version of Twilight, True Blood, didn't get one damn friggin' single Emmy nom, not even any of the delicious actors involved. Doesn't the Academy drool over fangs and abs like we do?

Apparently not.

But even more absent from the Emmy noms list than Paqmo was the grab bag of attention-whore celebs you see in the rags and especially in this here blolumn.

Think that's a coincidence?

Did you all catch Nicollette's final stint on Desperate Housewives the other night? We totally felt bad for the babe. You could tell through N's flat-lined narrative that this bitch was not pleased to be let go, and it gave us secondhand awkwardness listening to her unusually mundane voice. But Nic had every right to be pissed.

Execs were toying with killing off Edie for a while, but never gave her the final heave-ho until recently, ya know, when they informed Sheridan's costars first. Think of it like one of those super long, overdrawn breakups where you think you're getting back together, but are actually left in the dust. We've all been there.

So now that N.S. is trying to move on, what's up for the other stars on the hit show? We hear rumblings of a wedding, a divorce and a possible spinoff:

Meow, Nicollette Sheridan got a bit catty when talking to TV Guide about her departure from Desperate Housewives, which we first told you about, like, forever ago.

"[Killing off Edie] was a risky decision that could have devastating ramifications," N.S. pouted to the rag. Well, some castmates don't totally see it that way. And Marc Cherry, who has a major history of reportedly being less than thrilled with Nic's diva behavior, isn't exactly shedding tears for Sheridan.

"We will find a new kind of sexiness coming through Wisteria Lane," Marc sassed back to the magazine.

Also snitty is ABC, which shot 'round communications to the entire cast, including Sheridan, recently that they were not to be discussing anything regarding the show or cast with, well, anybody like me (however, a few corporate-sanctioned quotes to ass-kissing TV Guide were encouraged).

Uh, didn't work in the first place, and isn't working now:

"The whole cast was told to shut up," revealed an inside Housewives hon. "You should have seen the emails." The boob-tube know-it-all also added that Nicollette's firing wasn't just about her.

Oh, really? Do tell!

Since when did Desperate Housewives get so PC? We dished a while back 'bout how poor Nicollette Sheridan was most likely going to meet a gruesome demise when she exits D.H. this spring, and it looks like things sure went according to plan. Her death is causing ABC to scramble 'cause it's afraid it will offend a large group of viewers: Catholics. Here's why...

Nicollette Sheridan may be so over Desperate Housewives, but for the fans out there who heart Edie Britt's slutty ways, what does that mean for the show? We chatted with longtime castmember Shawn Pyfrom and potential newbee Mindy Sterling to make sure D.H. isn't gonna start sucking with Nic's departure.

After all, Eva and Teri can only kiss so many times before it starts looking pathetic:

Like the very smart moving-forward type she is, Nicollette Sheridan was "rather professional" when she said goodbye to some of her fellow Desperate Housewives players last week. "It was great working with you," Ms. S. said to several fellow DH types, all cheery, big smiles.

"She was way nice," piped an on-set source regarding Sheridan's exit from the hit show, a sad note we broke last week. But did that stop the talk about Ms. Sheridan?

Hardly:
