Movie beauty Cameron Diaz is such a huge fan of TV show "Desperate Housewives," she's reportedly signed up for a cameo role.
The "Charlie's Angels" actress is an avid viewer of the drama -- focusing on the lives of five suburban women -- scoring millions of fans across America. And now Diaz has managed to secure a small role in the hit series.
An insider says, "Cameron is one of 20 million fans of the show and thought it would be quite cool to play herself. She thinks it will be a ratings smash of the year."
schmiggens said this in post #1 : Britney Spears snubbed by makers of Desperate Housewives
Britney Spears has been snubbed by the makers of 'Desperate Housewives'.
The blonde singer had reportedly been begging producers for a cameo role in the hit show for months. But the 23-year-old star was turned down by show bosses who say guest appearances would ruin the series' appeal.
James Denton - who plays Teri Hatcher's hunky plumber boyfriend Mike Delfino - said a galaxy of stars had put their names forward for a part. He said: "Everyone in town wants to be a guest star. "Britney is my favourite. Her people have been trying to get her on the show but I can promise you that will never happen."
Earlier this month, Britney's acting ambitions were tarnished by news she was being sued for $30million after allegedly stealing the idea for her debut movie 'Crossroads'.
Christopher Merrill says the pop babe, along with Paramount Pictures and MTV - who produced the movie and are also being sued - copied the script he wrote, called 'Dream Alive', which was submitted long before 'Crossroads'. His lawyer says there's no doubt the script was copied, saying: "There's no question that they took his material."
Britney was universally panned by critics for the box office flop, in which she played lead role.
Christian Slater is set to star in 'Desperate Housewives'.
It is not yet known whether the role will be a one-off cameo or permanent, but it is believed the producers are keen to sign up the 'True Romance' actor for a number of episodes.
The part was allegedly initially created for 'James Bond' star Pierce Brosnan, but the Irish actor reportedly scuppered his chances after criticising the show's main star Teri Hatcher
Bronsan recently criticised the beautiful brunette for constantly keeping him waiting when she played a Bond girl in 1997's 'Tomorrow Never Dies'
He said at the time: "I got very upset with her. She was always keeping me waiting for hours. I must admit I let slip a few words which weren't very nice"
