The end is near…

Last week, it was announced that life on Wisteria Lane would finally be coming to an end as this upcoming seventh season of Desperate Housewives would be the last. As the show was supposed to be extended into an eighth season, it was odd that the network decided to cut their long-standing, high-rating show short, but it seems like the decision was more showrunner Marc Cherry's than theirs.

At the TCA this weekend, Marc

We have some shocking news to tell you.

The 2011-2012 season of Desperate Housewives will be its last.

ABC is

We'd hate to see them go, but you can't argue with ratings.

So the real question is: is ABC confident in finding another hit to replace Desperate Housewives, or do they want another year to look around?

Everyone is signed back on for the 8th, with easy potential for the 9th. The higher ups are trying to decide right now if they want to go out with a bang this year or stretch it into next:

"Others, however, think ABC may wait until September to see how its new shows perform, and if Desperate Housewives sees another ratings drop. "It's all dependent on the ratings," says one insider. "It will be up against some stiff competition."

Not only will Housewives compete against CBS' The Good Wife this fall, it also regularly faces Sunday Night Football on NBC (should the NFL season resume as hoped) and key programming on cable. Housewives was the 24th most-watched prime-time show among broadcast networks last season, but has lost about half of its audience from Season 1."

It's a shame to hear that they've lost about half their audience, that can't be a positive factor in bringing it back!

We're kind of torn on this, because 8 seasons is no slouch for a series run. They've had their time and the ratings are starting to reflect a lack of interest. Despite how much we love those ladies, we can't help but wonder if the replacement could be fresh and mind-blowingly exciting!

What do U want? A 9th season or a new show?

OMG! What has been going on this season??? So much suspense! You can just feel the tension in the air, huh???

Check out the promo for the two hour season finale of Desperate Housewives (above) and see what we mean!

Shiz is going dooooooown!

We don't blame her. Its coming on year that it was filed and NOTHING has come of it!

Teri Hatcher has filed paperwork to have a lawsuit brought against her by former friend and business associate Jennifer Glassman thrown out.

According to Teri and her legal team, documents from Jennifer's team aren't being delivered in a timely manner, and that should be grounds for dismissal. In the court documents she filed, Terri's lawyers explained:

"Hatcher and ISBE Productions are bringing this motion in an attempt to unnecessarily halt and stall this litigation. Plaintiff has worked with Defendants for the last two months in a good faith attempt to address and resolve document production issues so that this matter could proceed accordingly…Plaintiff does not believe there is any spoliation issue that would justify staying these proceedings."

Translation - She's over this!

If she's lucky, the law might come to her rescue and she will be free and clear of this whole very soon. It really just depends on how invested her former bestie is! We shall see!

Wow, has it been 8 seasons already?? Time flies!

But that's good news for the ladies of Desperate Housewives, because that means they're in the middle of a renegotiation of deals, and with anything that lasts that long you know they're pretty much going to get what they want to come back!

Here's what's up:

"The deals are for one year, with an option for a second. With the quartet on board, ABC will renew the show for an eighth season though it is unclear if that will happen right away or closer to the May upfronts. Their new base salary would be around $325,000 per episode, up from about $275,000 under their most recent deals. With additional compensation, including back-end and bonuses, the actresses' paychecks are expected to go up as high as $375,000 per episode. If their options for Season 9 are exercised, their base salary is slated to go up to around $350,000, plus other incentives. If Desperate Housewives goes to nine seasons, which has always been creator Marc Cherry's vision for the show, the four leading ladies' entire compensation package for the next two seasons is valued at close to $18 million for each."

18 million dollars for two seasons?!? That's an incredible deal! Of course, it's no where near what the MaSheen was getting for Two and a Half Men, but it is nothing to shake a stick at.

Impressive, ladies! We hope you land the deals you want, and we can't wait to see you back on our TVs!!

Lookin' great, Teri!

Yesterday, Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher was seen leaving the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood, completely makeup-less, yet still adorable!

As we've said before, Teri is a natural beauty! She could completely cut out makeup AND botox from her beauty routine, and we think she'd look just fine.

…Of course, a little makeup wouldn't HURT…but she def doesn't NEED it AT ALL!
