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.

16. 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.

17. Palin and DH would be a horrible match.

I think that Sarah Palin would do much better on a show like "Celebrity Nude Bowling" or "Mud Wrestling with the Stars".

18. HOW TO BE JUST LIKE TMZ
A primer in 6 easy steps

1. Find a totally unsubstantiated rumor, or make one up yourself.

2. Offer to give an iPhone to a third grader in a Remedial English class in return for writing a blurb about this rumor.

3. Publish this blurb on a web site along with an ugly-looking photo of one of the people that the rumor concerns.

4. Put a misleading headline on top of the blurb.

5. Put the following text at the end of the blurb: "ONE-OF-THE-PEOPLE-NAMED-IN-THE-BLURB declined to comment, and ANOTHER-OF-THE-PEOPLE-NAMED-IN-THE-BLURB says there's 'no truth' to the rumor."

6. Repeat these steps over and over and over ...

19. 19. CHERRY IS A F*G COWARD !!! NOW he comes out and confesses his love and respect of Gov. Palin??!!!?? Where the f*ck was he during the campaign??? Oh, let me guess...too wimpy to speak out in defense of Palin for fear he'd never work again in Hollyweird, just like the rest of the cowards who said one thing to the press and voted the opposite way once they were in the voting booth!!!!!!

SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, Cherry just admired Palin as a scuzzy creature who could help enhance the ratings of the TV show. I doubt he admired her as anyone who would make a good Vice President.

There must not have been that much vote changing in the booth. The polls taken right before the election showed the exact, same margin as in the ultimate results of the popular vote.

In any case, just like the person wrote above, Cherry doesn't like Palin's capacity to lead our country. He's just "enamored" of her potential for attracting more idiotic viewers to his trashy show.

He's still a slime ball ... just not in the way you're accusing him of being.

And besides, why would someone who is gay be in favor of electing someone who literally demonizes his own sexual preferences?

I think you are so accustomed to spewing out knee-jerk slurs and smears that your capacity to think and reason has been seriously impaired.

21. Hey, just out of curiosity: does anyone know when Briston Palin is getting married to Levi Johnson?

Wasn't that originally going to take place before the election? If indeed the wedding hasn't occurred yet, it had better take place soon, as she is supposedly due in December.

The last I heard, they packed Levi off to the Alaska oil fields to do some heavy labor. When are they going to bring him home for the wedding?

22. That would boost their sagging ratings. I don't think Sarah would do it, but she may surprise us.

23. Someone ELSE will write her lines, & she'll say them over & over....

24. Palin is a joke and such a dumbass like her probably couldn't even read the script. Palin is the reason why McCain lost (not that I wanted him as prez). Please please please don't let that dumb slutty bitch be on Desperate Housewives!
