Gossip & Rumors
Palin Desperate Enough for "Housewives"

Now that she's back to being just a housewife -- with a day job running Alaska -- Sarah Palin could be perfect for "Desperate Housewives."

A source tells the New York Post the creator of "DH" is "very hot to trot" to get Palin on the season finale of the show. "Marc [Cherry] is highly enamored of Sarah and sees her as the ultimate guest star," says the source. "The idea has gone over surprisingly well with execs at Disney."

Cherry himself declined to comment, and an ABC rep says there's "no truth" to the rumor.

2. Don't you have to be a desperate housewife and believe that all your problems can be solved if you get an abortion, sleep with someones husband or just be a piece of garbage.

6. I'm sure she will go over well with the viewing demographic. Plus, she can say she actually knows a gay person.

7. How could an openly gay man want anything to do with that inbred homophobe bigot?

10. that show's been over for a long time, but putting that shameful joke SHOULD BE the sign of the apocolypse for DH.

if someone said i was "enamored" of sarah palin, i'd sure for defamation, anyone who thinks she was a good VP choice needs to have their right to vote revoked FOREVER for such stupidity!!!!!!!!!!

11. Now why would you use such a misleading headline to suggest that Palin wants to be on the show when she has never stated such. The story is about how DH wants HER not the other way around. Leave it up to TMZ's libtards to do such a thing.

14. I am a DH fan. However, if Sarah P. is on any of the episodes, I will stop watching! I can't stand her, and will be so damn happy when her 15 mins. are up!!!

15. If this report is actually true (and I have serious doubts about that, given that I'm reading here on TMZ, a world leader in rumors, innuendo, lies, and character assassination), this would show just how desperate "Desperate Housewives" must be.

Palin is no intellectual heavyweight by any means, but she has enough street smarts to stay far, far away from "opportunities" such as this.
