Nicollette Sheridan, whose character was killed off ABC’s Desperate Housewives last year, has filed a $20 million suit against the show’s creator and producer, Marc Cherry, claiming he assaulted and fired her wrongly. In the lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Nicollette claims Marc hit her in the face on the Wisteria Lane set in September 2008 after Nicollette had asked Marc about a line in the script. When she reported the incident to ABC, Marc retaliated by killing off her character, according to the suit. The suit contains another bombshell allegation: Nicollette says that after co-star Teri Hatcher complained to ABC execs about Marc, the producer told Nicollette, “I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies.”

Cynical, jealous haters will continue to conjure up arguments against her.

Tabloids will continue to quote anonymous sources and paint her as a mega bitch.

But THG will continue to look at actual facts and hammer home one simple point: Angelina Jolie is a true role model.

The actress recently spent time in Haiti and opened a school for refugee returnees in Afghanistan. Her latest act of charity and good will? Touring Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Jolie and Brad Pitt sat with people that have been struggling since that area’s civil war ended in 1995.

“[I am] so inspired by these families,” Angelina said. “Despite the grim realities of their unsettled existence, they have an incredible determination to make a better future for their children.”

Approximately 117,000 people are still displaced by the aforementioned war, including the women seen below, who reside in a collective center in Rogatica, Bosnia.

Jolie, a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador since 2001, spoke with staffers from the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to help assist with plans of action for those suffering from a lack of basic needs.

“I hope we can find solutions for the remaining tens of thousands of displaced people… only then can we really close one of the most tragic chapters in modern history,” she said. “[I hope] to return to this beautiful country soon and meet with political representatives to further discuss the solutions that are so badly required.”

Go ahead and hate, cynics. We’ll go ahead and admire a celebrity that does more than eat at Katsuya every night in front of the paparazzi.

Below, you can actually watch a brief video of Jolie and Pitt exploring the region.

He may think fondly of his friend and former Celebrity Apprentice contestant Jesse James, but Donald Trump is convinced that Sandra Bullock will leave the bad boy biker in the dust. “He’s a nice guy, he’s a tough guy, but I don’t think he can get Sandra back,” the NBC hit show’s host Donald told In Touch about the philandering West Coast Chopper CEO at the Glenfiddich Presents “Dressed to Kilt” Charity Fashion Show in New York on April 5. The famous entrepreneur, who reportedly cheated on then-wife Ivana Trump with Marla Maples in 1990, doesn’t think Jesse’s Oscar-winning spouse could possibly stick around after the public humiliation she has endured over the past month. “I would imagine that Sandra has had it with everything that’s happened. He blew it with Sandra,” Donald added. As In Touch exclusively revealed in mid-March, Jesse had a steamy affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee while his actress wife was away from home filming The Blind Side. Since the shocking news, other mistresses have come forward.

Not our words, or Jon Gosselin’s. That’s how Kate was described by judge Bruno Tonioli on Dancing with the Stars. Sadly, that was as good as their critiques got.

While her Paso Doble set to “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga wasn’t a travesty on par with her previous two efforts, it was scored similarly. And badly. Kate can’t cut it.

She can, however, take out her frustrations on a punching bag pretty well. The stoic mom wasn’t acting there, but her attempt to play a character on the floor?

“That was odd,” Carrie Ann Inaba opined. “It was very hard to watch.”

Indeed. Here’s Kate’s segment on Monday’s Dancing with the Stars:

The judges stopped just shy of overtly telling America not to vote for Kate Gosselin again this week, although Buzz Aldrin actually recevied slightly lower scores.

We’ll see if she survives tonight. Another performer who set off fireworks before even taking the stage Monday? Jake Pavelka, for feuding with a certain blonde.

No, not airhead fiancee Vienna Girardi. Jake and partner Chelsie Hightower butted heads before doing the quickstep and racking up a not-shabby score of 21.

Follow the jump for a look at The Bachelor and So You Think You Can Dance alum struggling in rehearsal, but ultimately pulling it together fairly nicely …

Who are you rooting for on Dancing with the Stars? Jake? Kate? Anyone but Jake and Kate? Vote in our poll and tell us who you want to win:

It was already a series of novel.

Then, it became one of the most popular shows on TV.

Now, True Blood is taking another step toward its goal of dominating the world of pop culture and entertaining: the graphic novel.

Look for a set of comic books to be released this July, each featuring the same characters on the HBO drama, but each focusing on different storylines. Says True Blood creator Alan Ball, the man behind the project:

“I’m really looking forward to exploring this new format. Comics have no limitations, things that we could never do on the show because of time and budgetary constraints we can do in a comic. The writers of the show and I are closely involved in the creative aspects of the comic, plotting art stories, characters.

“They exist in the same world, but it’s a completely different story than what you will see on TV.”

In True Blood spoiler news, meanwhile: check out the first photo of Joe Manganiello as the character of Alcide. He’ll play a major role on the show, whose third season kicks off on June 12.

Two of the dozen or so women Tiger Woods nailed while he’s been married to Elin Nordegren say he hurt them badly, and they want an apology too dammit!

“It still hurts every time some girl comes out and claims that they had this relationship that I had,” poor Jaimee Grubbs whiled in an interview with E! News.

“He hasn’t even tried to call to explain or to see how I’m feeling.”

LOL. You’re upset the world-famous athlete who was just using you for no-strings sex while cheating on his wife hasn’t sent you a Hallmark card? Really, J?

Jamie Jungers also identifies herself as collateral damage from the actions of the sex-crazed madman, even saying she “fell for” the 14-time major winner.

“When you fall in love with somebody, they’re always going to be in your heart,” she said, “especially when I hear people bashing him and saying the things they do. Even though he did me wrong, to hear all the hurtful things, it tears me up inside.”

Wow, did it just get really dusty in here, or is it just us?

Jamie Jungers (left) and Jaimee Grubbs just can’t let go.

“I do still have a place in my heart for him. I always will, but I could never trust him again,” Jungers continued. “The more I was with him, the more I fell in love with him. Thinking about it now, I definitely wanted him to leave his wife.”

Well, at least she’s honest. Jamie Jungers also said that Woods even had a nickname for her – “his little coffee cup” – which she doesn’t know the origin of.

Probably because his relationship with her was like grabbing a cup of coffee (in this case a quickie) on the road to something better. Hey, just one theory.

In any case, at Tiger Woods’ press conference Monday, he confirmed that his wife would not be at The Masters this week. Some people wanted more info.

Among them? Joslyn James, Tiger’s porn star mistress who recently leaked his vile text messages and says he owes apologies to the women he’s wronged.

“He is not truthful, not honest and he should be repairing relationships,” James said. “He was not sincere. He’s a big, fat liar and we deserve the truth.”

And money and fame. They’d settle for those too.

Rielle Hunter’s 15 minutes of fame are going for some kind of record.

Her story will simply never die, with Oprah Winfrey the latest to help her milk it. She’s shown John Edwards a big o-face. Now she’s coming face-to-face with the Big O.

It was revealed last night that Oprah scored the first TV interview with John Edwards’ weird mistress, a report confirmed Tuesday by the Big O’s production company.

The date for the interview has not yet been announced, nor has her wardrobe for the sit-down. We’re hoping for that pearl necklace from those hot GQ pictures again.

She’s a classy one, that Rielle.

Rielle Hunter and Oprah: An interview not to be missed.

For whatever reason, Rielle Hunter was apparently courted by both Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer as well, but ultimately went with Oprah, reportedly because she felt O “was more spiritual and would get her.” She’s a spiritual one, that Rielle.

It’s unclear whether she will discuss the details of the John Edwards sex tape, how she slept with a famous married politician and pulled the goalie to cash in, whether he provided her with campaign hush money, or what her future holds.

Regardless, we’re waiting for Elizabeth Edwards to kill her.

Dr. Conrad Murray must feel pretty good about his defense strategy of blaming the victim, because dude is not interested in any plea bargain, thankyouverymuch.

Michael Jackson’s embattled personal physician, who faces involuntary manslaughter charges stemming from the icon’s death last June, is not looking for a deal.

Sources say Dr. Murray is adamant that he did nothing wrong and that Michael Jackson killed himself. Thus, he will not plead to manslaughter or a lesser offense.

The doc’s defense team plans to contend that Jackson did himself in by self-injecting a fatal dose of Propofol into his bloodstream while Murray had left the room.

Will Dr. Conrad Murray beat the rap?

Murray, insiders report, is “completely confident” that he will be found not guilty on all charges, despite the inconsistencies in his story and rumors of a cover-up.

He is less certain that medical boards in Texas, Nevada and California will reach a similar result, though a judge did not pull his California medical license Monday.

Murray intends to fight to keep practicing, as he needs the cash money to pay for his defense and child support, but realizes the medical boards will go after him.

Also going after him with a wrongful death lawsuit? Joe Jackson. But Conrad shouldn’t take that personally, since that guy will sue anything that comes along.

Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon was in a giving mood last night.

The reality TV mainstay walked the runway of “Dressed To Kilt,” a charity fashion show held in The Big Apple. It benefited The Wounded Warrior Project, The Paralyzed Veterans of America and The Erskine Hospital in Scotland.

All good causes, no doubt.

But Bensimon also gave those in attendance a mini show, as her right nipple sneaked its way out of her top. Heck, it was almost more revealing than Kelly’s lame Playboy spread.

See what we mean below.

From left to right, Kelly Bensimon’s nipple grew more and more exposed. Click on each photo to enlarge it, and get a closer look at the top half of this private part.

Lindsay Lohan is a bit of a mess these days.

That’s a point even Michael Lohan will agree with us on, even if we disagree with that nut job’s methods of reaching out to his troubled daughter.

So disturbed is Lindsay that she can’t find consistent work in film anymore and has had to resort to making a living off of personal appearances.

Which is all good if you’re Kim Kardashian and commanding more than your own TV show is willing to pay you. But Lohan is no Kim Kardashian.

Wow, how sad is that statement?

Not as sad as the fact that even clubs think she’s so much of a liability that they would rather shell out the big bucks for Heidi Montag or even Snooki.

Linds, you spilled a kilo in your shoes. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

A source says that “When Lindsay does get paid for attending events, she now gets less than Snooki makes. It is sad and it is only getting worse.”

“The few people that care about Lindsay want her to get help, but she is scared to trust, thanks to her father, and she doesn’t want to hear this.”

“We are worried for Lindsay and where her life is going. She will open up to assistants that are dropping something off or helping her for an event.”

“She needs good friends and she has none. Lindsay is in crisis. Lindsay is really going through a lot right now. She feels like everyone leaves her.”

“If she does get work, which is rare, someone has to basically be by her side to get her ready for the event or meeting and make sure she shows.”

Very reliable sources also reveal that you can get LiLo to show up for an event in Los Angeles for $2,500 these days – 2-4 times less than Snooki.

What’s more, the transactions are supposedly done through Lohan’s assistant and she gets paid in cash. Convenient for her white powder habits.
