Is Desperate Housewives Desperate?

Jesse Metcalf Checks Himself Into Rehab
There's something suspicious going on with Desperate Housewives, and it's not the farce called Gabby and Carlos's divorce.  Nope, the show's been name dropped all over the place lately and we think there might be a crazed publicist to blame.  How else do you explain why Wisteria Lane's two hunkiest but C-list stars are in the news all of a sudden?  Will publicists do anything for May ratings?

First, Josh Henderson (a.k.a. Edie's hot nephew on the show), shows up in the tabloids for making out with Paris Hilton. Like that's an accomplishment.  Who hasn't made out with Paris?

Then, teen neighbor turned lawn boy adulterer Jesse Metcalf announces he's going to rehab.  His spokesperson asked for his privacy, all the while blabbing her client's issues to the world.  Yeah, 'cause rehab turned out to be a real low key affair for other celebs.

Whatever the motive behind these two Desperate mentions in the tabs this week, we have a few words of advice for these hot Fairview fellas. Josh: protect yourself...Paris has more stuff crawling on her than Mary Alice's corpse.  And Jesse: good luck in rehab.  Despite how some people may make it seem (cough), rehab is not a vacation.  Get better and get back on our television, we miss you.

Do you think Desperate Housewives is desperate for publicity? Do you wish they'd just kill it off the air?
