Teri Hatcher: "I Live a Normal Life"  1/7/07

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher refuses to fall victim to the trappings of a celebrity lifestyle, and insists on carrying out her own daily chores.

The 42-year-old hasn't moved house or upgraded her car since finding fame in the hit US TV show.

She says, "I think I live a very under-the-radar life. I still live in the same house. I still drive the same car. I get up, take my daughter to school, come home, have a shower, and go to work. Then I try to be home to cook dinner.

"That doesn't change, no matter what magazine cover I'm on or what country the show is on in around the world."
