DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES 'ANY MOMENT'

View the Desperate Housewives preview for Sunday March 25th episode ‘Any Moment’.

It looks like the Lynette, Renee, Gaby and Bree are making some changes that can send this Season into a new direction! It’s nice to see that the comedy is coming back to the series and the lovely ladies of Wisteria Lane. What are you looking forward to in the next episode?

DESPERATE DEADLOCK

The courtroom battle between former Desperate Housewives cast member Nicollette Sheridan (who played Edie Britt from 2004 to 2009) and her former studio bosses has ended without a verdict. After jurors said they were “hopelessly deadlocked,” the judge on Monday declared a mistrial. The jurors reportedly were split 8-4 in favor of the actress – at least nine jurors had to agree to render a definitive verdict. Attorneys for both sides indicated a desire to try the wrongful-termination case again. “You’d think we’d be disappointed, but … we’re not,” Mark Baute, Sheridan’s attorney, told reporters. “We got the story out. We told the truth. Twelve of our fellow citizens made a judgment. We came up one short. We’ll do the dance again.” Early in the trial, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed Sheridan’s battery complaint against Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry. Check out the array of Desperate Housewives wardrobe items worn on-screen by Sheridan – as well as Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria – at VIP Fan Auctions today!

GET YOUR PIECE OF THE 'GATE

“Many talented people work together to build the various things that go into a set,” Stargate Universe‘s head of construction Scott Wellenbring told VIP Fan Auctions. “Lighting, set dec, paint, special fx and more all need to work together.” One of the crew’s finest pieces is the Stargate itself, with its ornate glyphs, massive size and intangible place in sci-fi history. VIP Fan Auctions is making a segment of an actual screen-used Stargate available to fans. The front of the ‘gate features a chevron at the top and four unique glyphs panels (click here for more details – including dimensions) – and it has been mounted ona piece of black plywood for display purposes. Don’t let this rare opportunity get away. Place your bid and you could own your piece of the Stargate today!

THE FINAL KINO COUNTDOWN

The Destiny’s Kino balls – those remote-control floating orbs created by the Ancients to record visuals and examine atmospheric conditions – are amazing pieces of technology. Dr. Rush called them “marvelous” and Stargate prop master Kenny Gibbs calls them the favorite prop he created. And now at the Stargate page at VIP Fan Auctions, fans now have an opportunity to see – and own – this amazing piece of technology for themselves. The FINAL Kino ball and remote received from the Stargate Universe production team is now on the auction block, but place your bid today. Unlike the supply of Kino balls on the Destiny, there is a limited supply on earth – and this auction for THE LAST Kino ball available from VIP Fan Auctions ends March 22. Do not miss your chance to own this piece of television history! Click here for more information.

COMIC BOOK HEROES

While the “Hiro in the Future” issue of Isaac Mendez’s 9^th Wonders comic book probably isn’t going to fetch the $2.1 million that actor Nicolas Cage’s copy of Action Comics #1 (the first appearance of Superman) was sold for at an online auction last November, but it’s still an amazing piece of pop culture history! Created by the Heroes props department for use in multiple episodes of the groundbreaking first season of the NBC series, this rare comic is now available (along with a bunch of other cool Heroes props and wardrobe items worn on-screen by Hiro Nakamura, Claire Bennett, Peter Petrelli, Sylar and more) at VIP Fan Auctions to the lucky fan who places the winning bid.

DESPERATE STUNNER

Love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Desperate Housewives siren Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) provided plenty of style, attitude and controversy during her tenure on Wisteria Lane. Now at VIP Fan Auctions, several the character’s most stunning designer dresses are now available to the highest bidder. Available outfits include a cream Dolce & Gabbana dress (click here for photos and more details) she wore in the fifth-season episode “Connect! Connect!” (in which she and Susan (Teri Hatcher) were locked in a basement together) and a Michael Kors designer dress worn by Edie on-screen in the fifth-season episode “Back in Business.” Check out these and other Desperate Housewives wardrobe items worn on-screen by Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman at the Desperate Housewives auction page. Bid today!

ATTACK OF THE WRAITH DRONES

The nameless, faceless Wraith drones – foot soldiers designed to carry out Wraith commands – are walking nightmares. These brutal warriors are built for battle and seemingly impossible to injure. It’s a shame they’re too mindless to appreciate how truly exceptional their armor really is – a fact that is not wasted on Stargate Atlantis fans! VIP Fan Auctions is offering a Wraith drone costume worn on-screen in multiple episodes of Atlantis to the fan who wants it most. Best of all, this armor is guaranteed not to self-destruct. Don’t let this rare opportunity pass you by – take a look at the details and additional photos of this item and place your bid now.  This auction is in its FINAL HOURS so click here for more information or to get in on the bidding before it’s too late!

Death on Wisteria Lane

Even though it was revealed last week that the character Mike Delfino (James Denton) would die in Sunday March 11 episode, it was still difficult to accept. What was your reaction to this powerful episode and witnessing the death of one of Desperate Housewives most beloved characters?

WEAPONS CACHE

When it comes to the science fiction realm, everyone appreciates a creative storyline and good acting, but whether you’re setting your phaser to stun or getting clocked with a gaderffii stick – it’s the weapons that help set the stage for any sci-fi or fantasy film or series.  Several notable prop weapons from TV series including Heroes and the Stargate franchise are currently available at VIP Fan Auctions. For hand-to-hand combat, the Black Bear sword featured on Heroes as well as a screen-used Unas spear featured in the seventh-season SG-1 episode “Enemy Mine” are on the auction block. A screen-used Bolakai cudgel created by the props department for the fourth-season Stargate Atlantis episode “Missing” is also available.

And, of course, if you’re not careful with these props, bids are also being accepted for Lt. Tamara Johansen’s (Alaina Huffman) screen-used medical bag and supplies from Stargate Universe. Click here for all of the amazing props and wardrobe items available now at VIP Fan Auctions.

AMERICAN HERO STORY

Heroes star Zachary Quinto will reportedly return to the FX series American Horror Story next season – but as a completely different character. Quinto appeared briefly last season as one of the past owners of the cursed – and very haunted – house at the center of the hit series. While little is known about his new character, Deadline.com reports that he will play the nemesis of fellow returning cast member Jessica Lange (who is also playing a different character). Fans of Quinto and/or his Heroes alter ego, Sylar, can reconnect with the actor without waiting for the return of American Horror Story – VIP Fan Auctions is currently offering a designer John Varvatos shirt as well as a Martin & Osa shirt worn on-screen by the Quinto in separate Heroes episodes.
