"Desperate Housewife" Sheridan makes Vienna ball host desperate =
Vienna - Nicollette Sheridan, one of the stars in the TV series Desperate Housewives, is driving Austrian shopping mall owner Richard Lugner to the brink of despair as he tries to manage his guest's visit for the Vienna Opera Ball.
Besides attending the ball on February 19, British-born Sheridan, 45, has asked to meet Austrian President Heinz Fischer, Lugner told Austrian press agency APA on Wednesday.
During her short stay in Vienna, the actress also wants to attend a performance of the Lipizzaner horses at the Spanish Riding School, see sights such as the Schoenbrunn Palace, and, last but not least, eat Sacher chocolate cake.
"I don't know how we will be able to do all that," 76-year-old Lugner said.
Meanwhile, APA reported that Eva Longoria Parker, another star in the US TV series Desperate Housewives, would not attend the ball, contrary to earlier media rumours. (dpa)
