It appears that big trouble is brewing on Wisteria Lane.

According to "Access Hollywood," tensions were high between some of the stars of the hit series "Desperate Housewives" during a recent cover shoot for "Vanity Fair."

The show interviewed one of the magazine's editors, Ned Zeman, who said Marcia Cross became agitated over the treatment of her co-star Teri Hatcher.

Zeman said the incident was sparked by "mandatory stipulations" given by an ABC employee, referred to as an "enabler," for the shoot.

The first stipulation was that Hatcher not be allowed to go into wardrobe first: "None of the other women wanted her to get to wardrobe first," Zeman told "Access Hollywood." "I think they felt that Teri always shows up earlier and gets the best clothes so there was some anxiety praying that she'd not get there first which of course she did."

The second, according to Zelman, was that Hatcher not be in the middle of any group shot. But apparently she was, standing smack dab in the middle of Nicolette Sheridan and Cross.

And this is where nerves reportedly started to fray.

"Eventually Marcia Cross refused to stand next to her and started screaming to her publicist in this kind of profanity-laced tirade saying, 'Get over here and do your bleeping job or you're going to be in bleeping trouble,'" Zeman told "Access Hollywood."

After publicists exchanged heated words off-set, Cross was moved to the other side of Hatcher, while Hatcher was asked to sit in a chair.

"I have never experienced anything like this in my entire life. I've never seen publicists essentially try to grab the camera away from a photographer. (But) I've never seen them use profanity and threaten people and I've never seen people cry and storm off like that," Zeman said.

Zeman claimed that Hatcher burst into tears during a break in the shoot.

"I think Teri was upset for a number of reasons," Zeman said. "She is, out of all the women, oddly, the most sensitive and maybe the most high-strung. She cries easily and I think it was a big surprise to her that not only had a rule been laid down that she wasn't going to be in the center, but that one of her co-stars was that upset about it. I think it was a little humiliating to her."

Fortunately, not all of the show's stars behaved badly on the set of the photo shoot, Zeman said.

"I would say Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan both were extremely consistently professional," Zeman told the show. "Nobody really crossed the line except for Marcia Cross, who really crossed the line and was humiliating people and generally making it difficult for everyone."

In a separate interview with the show, Cross had a different take on the day's events.

"It was fun, oh my God! It was just like fantasy day, you know," Cross told "Access Hollywood."

The magazine featuring the "Desperate Housewives" hits newsstands April 12.

Bar Finds Solution To Attract Viewers

Meanwhile, The Associated Press reports that a trendy bar and restaurant in West Hollywood, Calif., is taking a novel approach in boosting their business during the time the show airs.

Lola's is showing "Housewives" on a big screen TV every Sunday night.

But, beer doesn't seem appropriate for that show. So, the bar is featuring cocktails such as a peach martini called the Pool Boy, an apple martini called the Gardener's Delight and the Wisteria Lane, which is a watermelon martini.

The last thing a bar or restaurant wants is for people to stay home and watch their favorite television show, since it's generally bad for business.

For years, sports bars with big screen TVs have been enticing fans to watch, hoot, holler and buy beer.
