Still panicking that Desperate Houswives is losing Nicolette Sheridan? Fret no further! Ew.com's scoop-meister Michael Ausiello is reporting that Drea De Matteo will be joining the show as a regular this season. Boffo.
In case you didn't watch Sopranos: what the f**k are you? Stupid? Drea played the ballbuster Adriana La Cerva on the mob show, a wise girl with some moxie, y'know what I mean? This chick some hard core edge to her and I say step aside Nicolette, Drea will not only fill your shoes but she'll shake things up in the process.
As for Drea's character, Ausiello has a few details in that department as well. "De Matteo, who will be a series regular, will play the matriarch of a new Italian family. Casting is underway for her landscape designer husband and their tightly wound son."
