Vanessa Williams, who's no longer vamping it up as Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty, is taking up residence alongside the even shriller vamps of Desperate Housewives. Creator Marc Cherry says Williams will be a regular on the ABC primetime soap. If anyone can outsnark Teri Hatcher or outstare Marcia Cross, it's got to be this gray-eyed dame. Anyone else suddenly feel like tuning in? [EW]
