Felicity Huffman's Book Launch

Desperate Housewives actress Felicity Huffman released her book “A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend” last night at Iconology in Los Angeles, Calif.

Says Felicity: “We started writing the book because we wanted it to help guys figure women out. We weren’t presenting ourselves as experts. The book is a little bit of advice and a lot of funny. We thought women would read the book, and hopefully they’ll give it to their guys.”

Her Desperate co-stars were on hand to celebrate including Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, Nicollette Sheridan, Andrea Bowen, and Brenda Strong.

Noticeably missing was Marcia Cross, who’s still on bed rest until she gives birth to her twins (rumored to be girls) in April. Check out more pictures from Felicity‘s book launch here!

As for Wisteria Lane, Nicollette‘s scheming character will take the lead in season three, while Marcia (Bree) is on maternity leave.

Says executive producer Marc Cherry: “Nicollette has been bumped up to front and center. There was a line in the pilot episode two years ago about how Edie had a son and he’s finally going to come and stay with her.”
