So Teri Hatcher doesn't have sex with random dudes in a van outside her house

Sad, sad news.....but at least there is no conclusive proof that Eva Longoria doesn't have a "Sex Van" outside her home in Hollywood.....ahh my dream is still alive. Folks if you happen to come upon a van outside of Eva Longoria's house, and its like, you know, "a'rockin'" please don't come a'knockin, cause there is at least an infintesimal chance that it could be me or some other wide-eyed dreamer in there.

Teri Hatcher'has made her point--she's not that desperate for sex.

The Desperate Housewives star won substantial libel damages on Friday from British tabloid the Daily Sport, after it published a story alleging that she had sex with a series of men in a VW van parked outside of her Los Angeles home.
The offending story was published on July 25 under the headline "Teri's Passion Wagon," and featured a picture of Hatcher next to a camper van with the caption: "Tasty Teri's old VW helps her with her sex drive." The article suggested that Hatcher used the van for her sexual encounters so that she would not be caught by her 7-year-old daughter, Emerson.
Hatcher's lawyer, Simon Smith told the court that the story contained "grossly defamatory allegations" that are "entirely false, deeply offensive and utterly without foundation." He said that the actress does own a camper van, but that she uses it to take her daughter on vacation.
The Daily Sport's attorney, David Hirst, said the paper was sorry for publishing the article "which they fully accept was entirely false." He told the court the story had come from a "trusted" source, whom the paper's editors no longer believe.
In addition to the libel damages, the Daily Sport agreed to pay for Hatcher's legal costs and to publish a prominent front page apology.
"Anyone who has ever entered a legal proceeding knows that when you are totally in the right, it still takes a lot of energy to move forward this kind of proceeding," the Golden-Globe winning actress said in a statement after the case was settled at London's High Court.
"This is probably why more celebrities do not fight back against every made-up story...But when a story appeared about me, insinuating that I am an irresponsible and neglectful parent, I had to draw the line.
"I will never allow any tabloid to so egregiously attack the area of my life which I give top priority, and that is my parenting."
Now that her legal battle is behind her, Hatcher can focus on better and brighter things--such as her recent Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Television Series of the musical or comical variety. The actress is up against Housewives costars
Marcia Cross Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria for the honor. Their show also received a nomination for Best TV Series.
The Golden Globes will be awarded Jan. 16 in Beverly Hills.
The woman of Wisteria Lane--Hatcher, Cross, Huffman, Longoria and
Nicollette Sheridan--as well as the show's creator, Marc Cherry, were also recently named the recipients of E! Entertainment Television's 16th annual Entertainer of the Year award. (E! Entertainment Television and E! Online are divisions of E! Networks.)
