Teri Hatcher's abuser has died in jail. Richard Hayes Stone - the "Desperate Housewives" actress' former uncle who she helped put in prison for molesting two girls - was six years into a 14-year sentence when he passed away from colon cancer at the age of 70.

Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Chuck Gillingham, who prosecuted Stone, said: "It closes the book on a very, very sad tragedy. Unfortunately those who are still alive will always suffer from his actions."

"American Idol" presenter Ryan Seacrest claims Simon Cowell is jealous of his success.

Ryan - who insists he enjoys a healthy, competitive relationship with head judge Simon - believes the music mogul is unhappy with his ever-expanding career.

'Desperate Housewives' star Teri Hatcher had a close call one morning last week while out jogging early in the morning in the hills by her Los Angeles home.

Hatcher came face to face with the mountain lion that has been terrifying the residents in the Hollywood Hills for the last couple of weeks. The actress says that she became aware of something or somebody lurking behind her.
