Details about Vanessa Williams’ new housewife character on Desperate Housewives are starting to trickle out, and it looks like producers are set to have her feuding with Felicity Huffman’s super-fierce mom Lynette Scavo. Yet another showdown on Wisteria Lane seems likely!

Williams will be introduced on the Lane as Renee Filmore-Jones, an old college pal of Lynette’s. But calling the pair “pals” might be putting it too kindly, since they were supposedly at odds during their collegiate days in the ’80s — no doubt that will bubble over into present-day lady-fight situations, too.

To which I say: Yes, please! Lynette is always at her best when she’s on alert, especially if she’s having to protect her children.

Additionally, Renee comes with a longtime husband, who’s most likely an athlete; no children; and — dun dun dun! — a big ol’ secret. Secrets on Wisteria Lane? Well, I never thought we’d see the day…

Ian Somerhalder asks where all the Hollywood help is for the BP Oil spill?

Ian Somerhalder, Louisiana native and 'Lost' and 'The Vampire Diaries' star Ian Somerhalder is upset about BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But he's especially miffed at Hollywood's weak support for the catastrophe.

"Coming from the entertainment world, I'm really shaken by how quiet Hollywood is," Somerhalder, 31, tells E! Online. "And I say that out of respect for my peers and colleagues, but I'm really bummed that no one is really coming up to help the situation. This is ground zero right now. This place is going to need money, that is the bottom line."

Somerhalder recently told the LA Times, "I never talk about politics, but right now is a time to be angry and sad."

Somerhalder, who hails from Covington, Louisiana, is doing his part assisting at the animal shelter St. Tammany's Humane Society where pelicans harmed by the oil slick are being treated. He recently filmed a public service announcement in his hometown.



""There's so many people here working around the clock to try and tame this beast," he says of the situation. "If you look at all these beaches right here. It's a June afternoon -- this beach would be littered with families, kids playing, dads on the pier with their buddies fishing. None of that's here ... The things you remember, the times you spent with your parents or your grandparents, brothers, sisters, fishing and learning about the ecology here is ... it's your base, it's your root and you'll do anything, you will fight tooth and nail to protect it."

Now we need to get to using this kind of stuff PRONTO!

Technology exists and the government is just taking their good old time because let's face it everyone has an agenda here.
Don't let any of this fool you. BP might be loosing market share and having their name tarnished but this is just the perfect storm that has been allowed to happen.

Why else does a US President sit behind his desk at the White House when the countries borders and fishing industries are being attacked for 8+ weeks before coming out to even address the American People? Pure nonsense!

Obama speech too 'professorial' for his target audience

President Obama's speech on the gulf oil disaster may have gone over the heads of many in his audience, according to an analysis of the 18-minute talk released Wednesday.

Tuesday night's speech from the Oval Office of the White House was written to a 9.8 grade level, said Paul J.J. Payack, president of Global Language Monitor. The Austin, Texas-based company analyzes and catalogues trends in word usage and word choice and their impact on culture.



This shouldn't be surprising to any of us since America falls behind numerous countries where education is concerned. People no longer care to come here to get a great education when they can get it elsewhere for far less.
