Drea de Matteo to join the cast of 'Desperate Housewives'!!

20853pcn_loveyou24

Hard-edged tough chick Drea de Matteo — you know her from “The Sopranos” (and maybe “Friends” spin-off “Joey”…Anyone? Anyone?) — will be the next woman in desperation to take up residence on Wisteria Lane as a series regular, Entertainment Weekly is reporting.

Not moving far from her “Sopranos” roots, de Matteo will be the head of an Italian household, and will be married to a landscaper and have a “tightly wound” son, according to EW.com’s Michael Ausiello. Both of those roles have yet to be cast, but as long as they’re good actors, I don’t care who they are. I just can’t wait to get some “Sopranos” gangsta action to the ‘burbs.

I am SO excited for this move, and here’s why: Every town has its village idiot, right? Wisteria Lane is no different — except they need the village slut. Edie’s dead, so who’s going to take on that title? I’m thinking Drea’s character is going to take a lot from Edie role, but will be stronger and bring a rougher, more masculine housewife to the show.

Yay!

P.S. I’m calling it right now: She and Susan are NOT going to get along.

    She’s going to lure some “Sopranos” fans to the shows’ viewership. Wait for it…

    Yes ! I actually remember her from “Joey” :)
    I can’t wait for the new season, I don’t know how she’ll fit in, so I can’t wait to see and find out !

    p.s.: I’m calling it: With Karl’s new effect on Bree’s character, I think they are gonna get along GREAT.

    She is ok but it will be difficult to keep up with the skinny cast.
