"Julianne is a very talented actress and we would be honored to have her appear on Desperate Housewives" says an ABC Studios rep. "Unfortunately at this time, there are no plans to do so."Not sure how exactly this rumor got started — particularly since, as far as I know, DH isn't even introducing a sister for Bree. Regardless, it's not happening.

The New York Post's "Page Six" gossip column gets a nice plug in the new romantic comedy Laws of Attraction (opening Friday), but the film's leading lady, Julianne Moore, is questioning the scandal sheet's accuracy. The Oscar-nominated actress cites one particular story from several years back that claimed she had been taken to the hospital from the set of Far from Heaven.
