The Z List - This Week's Biggest Losers for 7/2 - 7/8

You might think that when a week has only three workdays instead of the usual five, that it would be difficult for denizens of the Zone to find ways to trip over the velvet rope. But you'd be wrong. It's the dog days of summer all right, and as we head into a monstrous "Pirates of the Caribbean" opening weekend, here's a look at some of the temporarily grounded VIP's. Savvy?

Marc CherryMarc Cherry: Just a year ago, the "Desperate Housewives" creator was the toast of Hollywood, basking in the glow of 15 Primetime Emmy Award nominations (the show would go on to win six), nods for three of his four lead actresses, and universal critical praise. But after TV reviewers generally thumbed their noses at the second season, the show yesterday collected only seven Primetime Emmy Award nominations, mostly of the hairstyling and costumes variety. The Emmy's are a strange beast, with shows and individual actors judged solely on the merits of a single submitted episode. For some unknown reason, Cherry sent in for Outstanding Comedy Series consideration the Season Two opener - clearly not one of the better episodes - and now, he's paying for that error in judgment.

'Desperate Housewives' creator says Bree will hit the bottle

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK -- Pour another glass of wine for Bree on "Desperate Housewives." Better yet, just hand over the bottle.

The ABC show's creator, Marc Cherry, says Marcia Cross' character -- who became a widow following her husband's poisoning and then watched her flipped-out fiance die of an overdose -- isn't reacting well to changes.

"We're starting her descent into alcoholism," Cherry tells TV Guide in its Jan. 2 issue, on newsstands Thursday. He says there are some alcohol-fueled moments with her fellow housewives where "it gets pretty ugly."

It shouldn't entirely be a surprise for fans of the show, since Cherry says he's been hinting about Bree's future ever since "Desperate Housewives" began a year ago.

"When Bree has tension, she grabs a glass," he says. "Chart it back and you'll see so many moments where she just goes for the wine."

"Desperate Housewives" airs on Sunday nights (9 p.m. EST).
