Former ‘Desperate Housewives’ Actor Fired for Turning Down Sex Scene

I hope Virgiinia Madsen didn’t take this personally.  Contact Music reports that Neal McDonough refused to do a sex scene with her on their new show, ‘Scoundrels,’ and has since been replaced.  He is catholic and allegedly called the scene “inappropriate.”  I think he and Kirk Cameron should have a conversation about transitioning to religious based roles.  I predict that’s where he’s headed if this story is true.

Desperate Housewives: New Lesbian Relationship

Dana Delany and Julie Benz are set to have a lesbian love affair on Desperate Housewives, and the rumor mill says it’s going to be steamy! The Desperate Housewives cast is certainly no stranger to straight actors playing gay roles. Remember when Melrose Place’s Doug Savant (“Tom Scavo”) had the first gay male kiss on television? At the time, the camera cut away from the actual kiss because Fox was threatened by advertiser boycotts. We have certainly come a long way.

This picture is my personal ode to Nicolette. I miss her on the show. Anyways, check out Julie Benz on Chelsea Lately discussing her guest role.
