Producers of ABC’s ‘Desperate Housewives’ will be adding a gay couple to the antics on Wisteria Lane this Fall. Celebrity informants now claim, soccer great David Beckham and actor Robbie Williams will be stepping into the homoerotic role.

DH writer Marc Cherry says, “David and Robbie are perfect to star as the new neighbors’ best friends; the gorgeous, eccentric couple flown over from Blighty (Britain).

“We haven’t had that kind of wow for the wives since Jesse Metcalfe left and we want it to cause such a stir when they turn out to be together.

“David’s keen, but though the obvious choice was to work with Tom Cruise, we wanted someone who matches him in height and well, Britishness, so Robbie is the one. They’re both funny, game for a laugh and ridiculously macho, so it should work wonderfully… the English are pitch-perfect for sending themselves up.”
