HATCHER THE PAY

Teri Hatcher, once described as "the most unpleasant American actress in the world" by anyone who has worked with her, is facing a lawsuit from a skincare company and the entire population of Hollywood has declared a national holiday to vent their mirth at her misfortune.

A company called Hydroderm paid the brittle actress $2.4m to exclusively endorse their product, a lip enhancing product that plumps up the lips (though perhaps Hatcher should be using it across those saggy old lils).

Teri, it appears, doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'exclusively', so promptly pocketed the dosh, went out and began endorsing a product from Hydroderm's biggest market rivals, City Cosmetics.

The product was... A lip plumper. Doh! Silly old Teri and her contract-breaking madness.

Actually I'm amazed that this dusty old crone was even paid ten dollars by a cosmetics firm. I thought I saw her on the TV news the other week but realised it was the craggy, crumbly old face of Tutankhamun being revealed to the public for the first time. And compared to Teri, he looked fabulous, darling!

Here's the lawsuit, obtained by the good folks at TMZ.
