Sheridan Goes to the Ball... Departing Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan was the belle of the ball in Vienna, Austria on Thursday night (19Feb09) after she was named the guest of honour at the annual Opera Ball.

After 10, 11 years of playing a mum, starting with (1997 biopic) Selena and then to the George Lopez show, I think I finally decided that I wanted to be one in real life!

Every year businessman Richard Lugner invites a leading lady to be his date to the glitzy event, and this year he chose Sheridan, who recently learned she would be getting the axe from her hit TV show. Lugner's past invitees have included Paris Hilton, former Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell, Pamela Anderson, Andie MacDowell, Sophia Loren and Dita Von Teese, who accompanied him in 2008.
