Writers’ Strike Costing Housewife Star $26,000–a Day!?

11/06/2007 at 12:00 AM EST

UPDATE: Desperate Housewives star James Denton tells Arizona radio station KISS FM Phoenix that one of his costars might have been a bit too blasé about the Hollywood writers' strike–until he brought up one little detail she'd overlooked . . .

"I felt the need to point out to her that it was going to cost her $26,000 a day," says Denton, whose costar failed to realize that no writers will eventually mean a total work stoppage, meaning no one on the show would get paid."



Though Denton goes on to talk about Eva Longoria in the interview, we've learned from sources that he wasn't referring Longoria as the unnamed actress. So who do you think it is? –Kimberly Potts
