Teri Hatcher’s Daughter Meets Justin Bieber!

Teri Hatcher “scored big points” with her daughter by introducing her to Justin Bieber. The Desperate Housewives actress’ made 12-year-old Emerson’s day when she set up a photo with the teen pop superstar at the Digital Content Newfront Conference launch of her new website GetHatched in New York on Wednesday.

““I got her a chance to get a picture with Justin Bieber,” Terri told People magazine. “That was a highlight, and I scored some big points with her.” Teri always makes time for her daughter, but admits she sometimes finds it tough to balance her work with her family life.

“There are times when I really need to separate those things — just be the worker or just be the mom,” she said. “Too often, I think, women try to do everything at the same time. I have friends that are technically driving their kids to school but also looking at their BlackBerry and trying to deal with office messages.

“The stress on the kids and yourself is a disservice to us, and I think we are better off compartmentalizing. It’s hard, but it does work for me.”

Actress Eva Longoria Parker has been banned by producers of her hit show Desperate Housewives from getting pregnant this year. 

The actress is longing to raise kids with her basketball star husband Tony Parker, but TV bosses have asked her to postpone baby plans, following her co-star Marcia Cross’ pregnancy in 2006, Contactmusic reported.

“Tony and I are working on expanding our family. But the producer has forbidden me from getting pregnant this year. Seriously! Marcia’s pregnancy came as a big surprise and posed a big problem for the script writers. Even so, I love being a real housewife. I cook, I clean up, I do Tony’s washing,” Longoria said.

The actress admits her busy work schedule may also delay plans of motherhood. “I work three to four days a week (in Los Angeles) and then fly to Texas to spend a long weekend with Tony. This means we can only have sex on the weekends,” Longoria said.

The 35-year-old actress was recently sued by two of her ex-partners at her Beso Las Vegas restaurant.

Her rep Liza Anderson confirmed to RadarOnline.com: 'All allegations against Longoria Parker and the restaurant are absolutely false, untrue, and without merit.

'Longoria Parker plans to countersue the couple in a court of law in order to protect the integrity of the restaurant, its brand, and the welfare and well-being of her employees, as well as her own reputation.'

The actress was recently sued by former partners Ronen and Mali Nachim.

The pair had been brought in to manage the restaurant and had a small equity investment in the Las Vegas branch.

They recently filed a breach-of-contract suit against the actress following concerns from Longoria Parker and other partners about their management style.

Last February Marcia Cross' husband, Tom Mahoney looked gaunt and frail but fast forward one year and the cancer striken stock broker looks back to health again.

Showing the side effects from his gruelling chemotherapy treatments Mahoney lost significant amounts of weight, as well as his hair, but thankfully he's gained both back.

And it's not just Mahoney that's thriving, the couple's 3-year-old twin daughters, Eden and Savannagh are growing into quite the little ladies!

The happy family were snapped Thursday as Marcia and Tom picked their daughters up from school in Santa Monica, California.

Despite the Desperate Housewives star's hectic filming schedule she still makes the time to be a hands on mum and doting wife.

On January 20th 2009 it was announced that Mahoney had been diagnosed with cancer, but by the look of things he seems to be winning the battle appearing the picture of health nowadays.

The 48-year-old actress, who plays Bree Hodge in Desperate Housewives, married Mahoney in June 2006 after dating for just six months.

Marcia has suffered her share of tragedy in her life -her long-term partner, actor Richard Jordan, died of a brain tumor in 1993.

Talking about his tragic death several years ago, Marcia said : "I thought life was passing me by and I was really just devastated about it. So the fact that my life sort of turned in the last two years is just a miracle to me."

Looks like that miracle is going to continue for many more years!

“I’m not a desperate housewife; I only play one on TV.”

The raven haired veteran actress is best known for her most recent role as Susan Mayer, the sexpot mom you’d totally want to befriend if you lived in her cul-de-sac, on ABC’s long-running dramedy Desperate Housewives. In real life, Hatcher is a single mom on a mission. She’s hoping her latest Web endeavor, Get Hatched, will provide moms with an opportunity to be reborn (hatched if you will) and regain familiarity with their pre-diaper identities. Babble sat down with Hatcher to get the scoop on her newest project, mothering 13-year-old daughter Emerson and the secret to her fabulous — though couldn’t be more than a size-two — figure. — Melissa Chapman

What inspired you to team up with Disney’s Family.com to create an online portal for women?

Women do a lot these days; we make money, take care of our children, spouses, and communities, we carpool, we bake-sale, but sometimes we forget about ourselves. And for some strange reason, we often still confront feelings of not being good enough, and its high time there's a shift in that attitude. Other strong women have inspired me, and I wanted to build a community where we could all learn from each other.

What do you hope Gethatched.com will impart to women?

Women are a force to be reckoned. Collectively, we have a lot of know-how, and we can share that. But we've created patterns and habits that often have us spending more time feeling less than our ourselves, and being competitive instead of sharing and laughing about the commonalities of aging or homework and feeling lonely. [Women] often nurture everyone else, but when it comes to ourselves, we find faults rather than rejoicing in our beauty. And as moms, wives and breadwinners, many of us are overwhelmed by daily to-do lists and forget how to find the fun in a day. The site will offer straightforward and hopefully funny insights on everything a woman might struggle with, from laundry to cooking to style to relationships. All of our content will be wisdom wrapped up in humor, sort of like cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto — laugh while you learn something.

What’s it like being a desperate housewife, and how has it changed your life?

Well, I'm not a desperate housewife; I just play one on TV. I've been blessed by a job filled with new friendships and memories and the freedom to not worry — quite so much — about college tuition and mortgages. As a single mom, there’s always a nagging feeling that this celebrity [status] could go away in a poof. You have to be conservative and smart; no Ferrari for me.

You’ve given moms a reason to feel like they can be sexy and seductive over 40. What’s your secret?

Well, thank you! I want to do everything I can to make women feel good about themselves and the unique, powerful qualities they have. Everyone is sexy and beautiful — the biggest challenge is feeling that way when you’re bloated and exhausted. I try to give myself a break and encourage other women to be kind to themselves — not just everyone else. My biggest piece of advice: Eat right and do eat, breakfast especially. I also drink lots of water and eliminate processed food.

What's your parenting philosophy?

Don't try to be perfect. Life isn't; no one is. Use mistakes and mishaps as opportunities to grow tolerance and to teach. There is such a thing as happy accidents. And love, love, love and listen, listen, listen.



[Women] often nurture everyone else, but when it comes to ourselves, we find faults rather than rejoicing in our beauty.


How have you dealt with public tantrums?

 Fortunately, I’ve never had to. I know, hate me. But seriously, [tantrums] happen because we put our children in situations we have no right to. We push them when they are tired; we create a behavior reward system with everything from food to stickers to toys. That will always backfire. Children need to behave appropriately because it’s the right thing to do, not out of fear of time-outs or cookie rewards. My advice: Deal in the boundaries of expectations of what a three-year-old should be able to do without a tantrum.


What's been your biggest parenting challenge?

 Having a social life of my own. I'm not sorry for it, but I have sort of let that go. My daughter’s old enough now that it’s easier, more guilt-free [to have a social life], but there have been some lonely nights. I wouldn’t change that, nor do I regret it.



What's your favorite meal to make for your daughter?



Green beans, broccoli, mushrooms, and diced chicken in olive oil over a little linguini.


What do you do for "me" time?


Not enough! I hit golf balls at the range. Kills a lot of birds with one stone — but I don't mean literally!


If you could teach your daughter one life lesson, what would it be?

Life’s short — don't waste time on things that are trivial. Get off your cell phone, travel, laugh.

 What's the last great book your kids read?

We just finished Alice in Wonderland again and Elsewhere and The Book Thief


What shocked you the most about parenting?

That there's an endless, tireless well of love in me.
