London: Halle Berry has had her dreams of starring in the US TV drama ‘Desperate Housewives’ shattered by its cast — who reportedly claimed she would “cheapen” the show. A source said: “The girls are protective of the show and feel it would be easy for someone like Halle to cheapen what they are trying to achieve — that and she’s too beautiful!” The rejection came just days after the Oscar winner publicly confessed she was desperate for a cameo as one of the show’s baddies. She revealed: “I want to be on the show. I’d have to be a villain. I want to stir up something naughty with Nicolette.” — HNS
