Vanessa Williams 47, will be heading to Wisteria Lane next season as a regular on the show.
TV Guide reports that the show's creator, Marc Cherry, confirmed that Williams, who is best known for playing Wilhemina Slater on Ugly Betty, has already signed a deal to join the show.
Cherry said: 'I'm a big fan of Vanessa's work and I'm so excited that she'll be moving into the neighbourhood next season to cause trouble in all the ladies' lives.'
Now this is a good example of casting done RIGHT. I haven't watched "Desperate Housewives" in a couple seasons, but this new development might just draw me back.
