It's ultimately in the hands of the housewives themselves!

Marc Cherry, creator of Desperate Housewives, has signed a deal keeping him on the show for the eighth and ninth seasons!

The show is currently in its sixth and guaranteed for at least seventh because the main actors have a contract until 2011. If the actors wish to carry on in their roles they could be on the air until 2013.

We think they would be pretty foolish to pass up a big bucks deal like that! Because really Teri Hatcher, what else are you going to do?

Desperate Housewives is one of the best shows for ABC, being the top program in its time slot for all 5 weeks of the season so far. It's also a top-selling DVD franchise all over the world.

Do U want to see the housewives into their ninth season?

Uh-Oh! Add her to the list!!!

We just got word that the cast and crew of Desperate Housewives are on high alert after learning that Teri Hatcher has come down with the swine flu H1N1 virus.

We're told that she picked a great time to get sick as the show is just starting to shoot the super-hyped plane crashing episode.

Already, scenes with all the women have had to be rescheduled while she recovers.

Get better soon!

Hopefully, you haven't spread the sick around!

Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher knows what went down Friday afternoon with Conan O'Brien!

Hatcher was a a guest on Friday's half-completed episode of The Tonight Show, so she and Conan spent early Friday filming a sketch to be shown, loosely based on the triathalon Hatcher recently completeled.

Teri explains the sketch-gone-wrong: "We did this bit and at the very end, when we ran in to cross the finish line, he slipped as he was crossing the finish line and hit his head."

Teri says the ginger-headed funnyman didn't initially get up off the ground, but soon recovered and "pulled it together."

O'Brien was carted off to the hospital with a concussion, but is said to be doing fine as of now.

Thank goodness!

Teri Hatcher is the latest celebrity turned triathlete.

The Desperate Housewife will be participating in the upcoming Nautica Malibu Triathlon on September 13th.

Why? Because it was on the 70 44 year-old's "bucket list"!

She says, "I want to learn to play a couple of songs on the guitar. I want to learn a few of those fancy dances from one of those Dancing with the Stars teachers. And I want to run a triathlon."

Timing couldn't have been better for Hatcher, because she was also approached by the peeps over at the House of Mouse to lead a team in this year's triathlon.

In the past month, Hatcher has stepped up her training riding her bike to work sometimes four times a week!

In addition to participating in the triathlon she's also raising money for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.

Sounds like a great way to get in shape and raise money for a good cause!

Perfection isn't human, nor is Victoria Beckham!

The American Idol guest judge looked a little tense in the face as she joined Area 51 the competition show in Boston on Thursday as the new round of auditions began.

Take it easy on the botox, bb!

You could give Teri Hatcher a run for her money!

Come fall, the botox is back!

In May's Desperate Housewives season finale, Susan (E.T. look-alike Teri Hatcher) has been put through the ringer.

After Susan's ex, Mike, came to the rescue while their son was hovering near death, the two shared a passionate kiss, which cut directly to a wedding scene!

Mike was accompanied by a veiled bride, but only time will tell if the unknown woman is Susan or his fiance, Katherine.

The suspense is killing us!!!

Warning: Spoiler Alert!

It's being reported that the upcoming Housewives season premiere will feature a Susan Mayer wedding or for the show that is no stranger to flashbacks, preparation to do so.

Either way, Wisteria Lane will be seeing some familiar faces!

Susan's daughter Julie will come home from college this fall along with her father, Karl, who got a little naughty with Bree (Marcia Cross) in the season finale.

Mayjah drama for your mama!
