Actress TERI HATCHER has been baking tasty treats for her pal FELICITY HUFFMAN on the set of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.
The 43-year-old star recalls how Huffman persuaded her to bake a cake - but cheekily took the credit it for it after presenting it to her husband, actor William H. Macy.
She says, "I made Felicity a pie. For some reason, she had to have a pie. And I was like, ‘I’ll make it’.
"She e-mailed me afterwards and said, ‘Bill loved it. I didn’t’ tell him who made it - I took credit, and the brownie points are going to last me a year.
Thank you very much.’

Hollywood hardman-turned-politician ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has fired fellow actor CLINT EASTWOOD from the California’s parks commission - after he tried to block the construction of a controversial toll road.
The Terminator star also sacked his brother-in-law Bobby Shriver after they publicly disagreed with Schwarzenegger over plans for a toll road through a park in southern California. Shriver says he and Eastwood are shocked by the decision.
He says, "I had hoped to continue to do this work and to protect the park system from developers. It shows you how strong these developers were that were able to arm-wrestle the governor into firing us." A spokesman for the California governor says the pair’s terms had expired.

The widow of JOHN RITTER has spoken for the first time since two doctors were cleared of misdiagnosing the tragic actor’s fatal heart condition.
Amy Yasbeck and the couple’s eldest children had launched a $67 million (£33.5 million) wrongful death case against cardiologist Joseph Lee and radiologist Matthew Lotysch at Glendale’s Superior Court, following the actor’s sudden demise in September 2003.
But the case found neither professional was guilty of misconduct.
However, Yasbeck admits she was disappointed by the decision. She tells talk show host Larry King, "I was shocked because I know - I know the truth of what happened and I know because I was there.
"I was there for a good long time with John. He was sitting up and joking and laughing - and flirting. Without getting too specific, there was time and I think that what everybody learned from this trial is you don’t have to play the odds just because a heart attack is way more prevalent than an aortic dissection would be." She adds, "He was a brilliant husband. Absolutely brilliant. The most supportive person in everything I did. He was a wonderful partner.
"He was so funny. And you know, it’s like, you say, well, this, you always use humour to do - but when John Ritter decided to use humour on your, you couldn’t be sad, you couldn’t be anything but deeply in love."

THE TUBES frontman FEE WAYBILL brought a colourful gig in Agoura Hills, California to a standstill on Friday night (21Mar08) by paying a twisted tribute to late bandmate VINCE WELNICK.

Waybill explained, "He didn’t come to us for help. I don’t know whether to be p**sed off or sad." He then dedicated I Don’t Wanna Wait Anymore - a song Welnick wrote for The Tubes - as a tribute to the keyboard player.

U.S. rockers the DEAD KENNEDYS are searching for a new frontman - after their new lead singer quit.
Original frontman Jello Biafra failed to rejoin the group when they reformed in 2001, with the band recruiting Dr Know’s Brandon Cruz, with Cruz replaced by Jeff Penalty two years later in 2003.
But Penalty has now left the band, citing "a tediously long story involving… money and creative differences" for the split - and slammed his Dead Kennedys bandmates for allegedly recruiting a new singer behind his back.
He says, "It’s likely that, if asked, the band will attribute my departure to scheduling conflicts brought about by my documentary work, but in reality it’s a tediously long story involving personality conflicts, creative differences, arguments about splitting money equally, arguments about how the band should be run, arguments about the wisdom of hiring a band manager whose other star client was a Christian folk artist, arguments about whether we should or shouldn’t go on MTV, and arguments about many other wretched things.
"I thought about quitting numerous times over the past year, but I officially did so on Thanksgiving when I found out that the band had been recruiting a new singer behind my back and had even played a secret show with one at a bar in my neighbourhood."

Actress JAMIE LEE CURTIS has posed topless on the cover of a U.S. magazine in a bid to persuade older women they can remain beautiful if they take care of themselves.

She tells the publication, "I want to be older. I actually think there’s an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.
"I feel way better now than I did when I was 20. I’m stronger, I’m smarter in every way, I’m so much less crazy than I was then… Getting older means paring yourself down to an essential version of yourself." Curtis also refuses to dye her hair.
She adds, "I’ve let my hair go gray. I wear only black and white. Every year I buy three or four black dresses that I just keep in rotation."
