I’ll start off by saying I don’t blame her! DH sucks so bad!!

Desperate Housewives‘ Nicollette Sheridan isn’t sad about moving off Wisteria Lane.

“When the show started it was such a different beast,” she tells the new issue of TV Guide. “It was exciting and dangerous and funny and edgy and bizarre. It started feeling a little complacent, and that was very frustrating.”

When told of her character Edie Britt’s demise, “I said, ‘OK, sayonara. It’s been a great ride. Thank you,’” she tells the magazine.

She says she would’ve left sooner, but all the women were “contractually bound, so there was no way out on your own terms.”

Still, “[Killing off Edie] was a risky decision that could have devastating ramifications,” she warns creator Marc Cherry.

But, she adds, “Somebody up there really wanted her dead. I think whoever Edie represented in Marc’s life was somebody he didn’t like. And he had a very difficult time distinguishing between fact and fiction.”

Sheridan also takes aim at Cherry for ignoring her, never adding her face to the opening credits and rarely speaking about her in interviews.

Says Sheridan, “When you have a jewel, why not polish it and put it out there for all to see?”

But Cherry insists Sheridan’s character was no longer relevant on the show.

“Edie’s already slept with most of the guys on the street and has caused about as many problems as she could,” he says.

Plus, “There has been tremendous pressure put on me to cut costs … the network is saying to all the shows, ‘The company is really hurting financially. You must find a way to produce these shows more cheaply,’” he says.

With Sheridan gone, the show will save an estimated $100-200,000 per episode, according to TV Guide.

Asked about Sheridan’s replacement, Cherry says, “We will find a new kind of sexiness coming through Wisteria Lane.”

“What I won’t do is cast another fortysomething sexy blonde,” he adds. “[Sheridan] performed the aging, neighborhood tramp better than anyone has ever done before.”

Sheridan’s last episode airs Sunday.

That bracelet is hideous!!  Actually, the whole outfit is pretty dang bad.

Nicollette Sheridan and David Spade were spotting smooching Friday night at Beverly Hills restaurant Luau.

There to celebrate Sheridan’s 45th birthday, the pair — who arrived separately and began dinner at separate booths — “couldn’t resist each other for long,” a source tells Usmagazine.com.

Sheridan’s Desperate Housewives cast mates Felicity Huffman, Neal McDonough and Kyle MacLachlan were also in attendance.

According to the source, Spade winked at Sheridan and was by her side as she blew out the candles on her birthday cake. Later, the pair reportedly holed up in a booth where they “cuddled and kissed.”

Despite their public hookup, a source close to Sheridan tells Usmagazine.com “they are not dating.”

Sheridan, who plays Edie Brit on ABC’s Desperate Housewives, called off her engagement to singer Michael Bolton last August. Spade, 45, who famously dated Heather Locklear, has an infant daughter with Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace.
