Desperate Housewives star engaged (News.com.au, 20 Aug 2005)

Desperate Housewives star engaged ACTRESS Marcia Cross, a star of the hit TV show Desperate Housewives, is headed for real-life matrimony with her stockbroker boyfriend Tom Mahoney.

Her publicist, Heidi Slan, was quoted on the Us Weekly magazine website as saying Cross, 43, and Mahoney, 47, became engaged last weekend, but she added, "the happy couple have not set a date for the wedding yet".
The red-haired actress, who earned an Emmy nomination for her role as the perfectionist homemaker Bree Van de Kamp on Desperate Housewives, began dating Mahoney about six months ago. They recently holidayed together in Europe and Aspen, Colorado, the magazine said.

Neither has been married before.

Desperate Housewives ranks as the most watched new series on television this year. The show has garnered 15 Emmy nominations in all, including a bid for best comedy.

Cross's character - Wisteria Lane's newly widowed Bree Van de Kamp - has been described in a TV network news releases as "Martha Stewart on steroids".

Meanwhile, in other celebrity news, Us Weekly also reported that actress and former Playboy magazine centrefold Jenny McCarthy and her husband of six years, director John Asher, have filed for divorce.
The magazine quoted a representative for McCarthy as saying the couple cited "irreconcilable differences" in seeking to end their marriage. They have a three-year-old son.

McCarthy, 32, star of a US sitcom called The Bad Girl's Guide, married Asher, 34, in September 1999 after he had directed her in the feature film comedy Diamonds, co-starring Kirk Douglas and Dan Aykroyd.

The actress will next be seen in theatres starring in the romantic comedy Dirty Love, also directed by Asher.
