A Thin Blue Whine: Hi! Nicollette Sheridan here. You probably know me from
"Desperate Housewives," but 25 years ago, there was a
role I desperately wanted but didn't get. I thought I was long over it, but as
soon as I slipped on this ocean-blue mermaid-at-Studio-54 caftan, all ... moremy
disappointment and crushed dreams came rushing back, not unlike how I felt after
my second breakup with Michael Bolton. I may be smiling on the outside, but inside
I'm seething once more at the thought of Daryl Hannah swimming around with Tom Hanks in "Splash." That fishtail should have been mine. Mine, I
tell you! I prepared until my skin pruned only to be passed over. Now, here I
am, posing at the SAG Awards in a pale imitation of what could have been my
aquatic cinematic triumph. Where's David Spade? I'm feeling vulnerable,
and he always makes me feel better when I'm feeling vulnerable (and by "me," I
mean "my lips"). Close
