I just added to the gallery new photos to the arrivals album and also created the one with inside photos, which we didn’t get until now.

So two updates in one! A new photoshoot which in truth is old as for Dana’s hair I’d say it was taken while she was filming Pasadena. And Dana was out last night at The Cool Comedy-Hot Cuisine Fundraiser To Benefit The Scleroderma Research Foundation, like usual even if we didn’t see her in the past two SRF events, bet she went ninja haha. Also, if you notice, it’s the very same dress she wore to the Third Academy Honors earlier this month but with a different pattern/print, the design is the same even if she pulled it up some more to show more skin. If anyone’s interested both dresses are Dolce & Gabbana.

Two years ago, our historic September 5, 2008 fundraising telecast brought all three major networks – CBS, ABC and NBC – together in an unprecedented collaboration. Today we are very excited to announce that we’re returning to primetime on September 10th to continue broadening public support for our mission of funding groundbreaking, collaborative cancer research. This morning, network evening news anchors Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Brian Williams appeared on CBS’ “The Early Show,” ABC’s “Good Morning America,” and NBC’s “Today Show” to talk about the upcoming telecast and the progress SU2C has made in the two years since our launch. Check out the clips below.

If you wonder why we’re posting this is simple:

1) If you check the right sidebar, it’s one of the orgs we support.

2) Also Dana supports this one, she was at the telecast 2 years ago (mamogram moment anyone?) and she’s one of the ambassadors/spokesperson.

So my guess is that Dana will be there this year again. And I’ve been thinking about buying one of the shirts for a long time, maybe now I do it.

We’re not really sure but it looks like Dana may be bidding on her own dress..

Bid here!

I think you should go try a turn at a bid, if you lose and it is her bidding you can proudly say you got PWNED by Dana Delany. I would. I would proudly say it. I would even make a shirt declaring that proudness..

I am such a DORK..

It’s just further proof as to why we love her, she bids on things she’s worn for charity. How cool. Plus, we know she looks great in it and she knows that she looks faboo in that dress. Let us see…

BOOM BABY.

I think the jury agrees that she looks good in it yes?

The cast of ABC’s ” Desperate Housewives” forgot about Russian gold diggers, stripper Robin’s adventures and the identity of the Fairview Strangler last week to focus on real life.

Dana Delany, who portrays Katherine on the show, is spokeswoman for the Child Hunger Ends Here Neighborhood Rally campaign, sponsored by the food company ConAgra and the hunger relief organization Feeding America. She and other cast members held a rally on the show’s set to publicize the effort to eradicate childhood hunger.

“No matter what the ladies go through on (Wisteria) Lane, they always come together at the end to help each other out,” Delany said by phone from California last week.

Delany talked about the problem of childhood hunger and several other topics (the interview was conducted before news broke about former “Housewives” actress Nicolette Sheridan’s lawsuit against show creator Marc Cherry and ABC, and we were unable to reach Delany for a follow-up question). First, we discussed dolphins.

Q: The first thing I have to ask: A recent magazine story said you swam with 400 dolphins.

A:Oh, that stupid article. Yes, yes I did. It was pretty amazing. I was visiting a friend in Hawaii and we decided to go swimming. She’s kind of a spiritual person and we went to swim with the dolphins, and it turned out they had all congregated at the end of the runway on the big island, of all places. Right next to the airport. It was great. They were very playful.

Q: You’ve been busy — “Desperate Housewives,” a TV pilot (“Body of Evidence”), a film (“Multiple Sarcasms,” coming out in May). We sometimes hear that Hollywood just wants fresh young faces, but for an actress who has — and I want to be very careful here — been around for a number of years, you seem to have no trouble finding work.

A: I feel very grateful. First of all, I love what I do, which I think makes a difference. I love to act. I don’t really care what the venue is as long as the writing’s good. And I do believe in the end it’s sort of a matter of the last man standing. If I just hang in there long enough I’ll keep working.

Q: Talk about Child Hunger Ends Here. How did you get involved?

A: They came to me. I don’t do anything unless I really research it and find out whether it’s worthy. When I was shooting the pilot in Rhode Island recently, I went to a food bank there that Feeding America has. And it’s really remarkable. They told me that last year Feeding America fed 37 million people in America. And they think because of the economy it’s going to be 50 million this year. That’s the scary thing, when parents can’t feed their kids. You hear stories about parents going hungry rather than their kids going hungry. It’s kind of this silent stalker that people don’t want to talk about because it’s embarrassing.

Q: When you take up a cause, do you ever worry about possibly alienating people? Some entertainers and athletes avoid taking a stand on anything. You seem fine with speaking your mind.

A: I have no problem with speaking my mind. I feel it’s my life and it’s going to be over soon, so I’d better be authentic.

Q: It’s going to be over soon?

A: You never know (laughs).

Q: Explain how people can help.

A: If people go to ChildHungerEndsHere.com, they can see … ways they can get involved. They can go to the Web site and get all the information to get a free package of stuff (so they can) host their own rally to raise money. Or they can go shopping.

One question I often get asked is what makes for a good (and memorable) drama series. I’ve always believed that the heavily character-driven shows usually stand the best chance because viewers want to identify with one or more of the characters, they want to care and get invested in that character. In addition to the characters, I also believe that the shows that have defined a generation make for the most memorable of the bunch.

In a business where people seek the fountain of youth above all else, women from all walks of life were relieved when Desperate Housewives made it cool to be in your thirties, forties and fifties. Gone were the stereotypical housewives who “obey” their husbands and were barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

Three years ago, Katherine Mayfair arrived on Wisteria Lane to give the neighborhood a much-needed makeover. Her character has escaped an abusive husband, dated the neighborhood hottie, spent time in a mental institution and reexamined her sexuality by entering into a lesbian relationship with an ex-stripper.

Dana Delany, who plays Katherine on the hit series, became a household name back in the ’80s when she starred in the popular drama China Beach, and has kept us entertained ever since with that captivating and charismatic personality. I had the good fortune to speak with Dana about her days on China Beach, her role on Desperate Housewives, and a cause that is very close to her heart…

Tada! Here’s finally what I was personally waiting for to lighten up my day, it has been just a bad one. So new pics of our beloved lady is always nice!
