She’s been a success on film and in the recording studio – and has played one of the ultimate divas, Wilhelmina Slater on ABC’s recently cancelled Ugly Betty. Now Vanessa Williams is moving to Fairview’s infamous Wisteria Lane for the seventh season of Desperate Housewives.

What kind of havoc/mischief/mayhem will she wreak as the newest housewife on the block? Only series creator Marc Cherry knows for sure – but you can count the new woman on the block to be something other than restrained and genteel [at least, beneath the surface…].
