Teri Hatcher Wins Her Battle With the Paparazzi  5/21/07

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher is convinced a guest editing stint for British magazine Glamour has turned the paparazzi against her.

But the actress isn't complaining - she's delighted she can shop in peace at last.

For her stint as a journalist, Hatcher decided it would be fun to photograph the snappers who follow her and daughter Emerson everywhere - in a bid to show fans that she's always hounded.

She explains, "We'd pull up at an ATM machine or something and they all

(paparazzi) surround us in cars and start shooting us and I hand her (Emerson) the camera and she just starts walking towards the cars and she's just shooting.

"Since this article came out they have really laid off. I don't know if it's because of that or if it's just I'm simply not hot anymore."

As well as turning the paparazzi off her, Hatcher is convinced the article was very important for her pre-teen daughter.

She adds, "It was very empowering for her."
