The Desperate Housewives alum shared that she was thrilled to learn that a new series following a new group of residents is in the works. In fact, a big draw for her is that Kerry Washington is set to executive produce the spinoff, titled Wisteria Lane. "I'm completely 100 percent behind it," Felicity told E! News in an exclusive interview that aired May 29. "Kerry Washington—it's so great that she's doing it with women of color. It's exactly what's needed." And Felicity isn't only amped about the show's premise, which focuses on an eclectic group of neighbors hiding secrets beneath the surface of their picture-perfect, Instagram-friendly lives. The 62-year-old also expressed feeling hopeful that original creator Marc Cherry will return to help bring the story to life in some capacity. "I think Marc Cherry, who created it and is brilliant, is involved," she said. "So, it's going to be a great ride." More from E! Online Cardi B Breaks Down Cost of Her Kids' Nanny, Private Chef, Driver and More Machine Gun Kelly's New Photo With His and Megan Fox's Baby Girl Deserves All the Flowers Cardi B Reveals Name of Baby No. 3 With Offset After all, Felicity believes the screenwriter crafted such a unique tone with the original series, which ran from 2004 to 2012 and also starred , , and . "Marc Cherry has a very specific voice, and that singular voice resonated with people," Felicity explained. "And the way he created those women's friendships—the friendship is key." Another project the Good Lawyer star is looking forward to seeing on screen? Her two-part Lifetime movie The Thirteenth Wife: Escaping Polygamy, which premieres May 31 and June 1 on the channel at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

"It's really important to watch it," she shared. "A cult from the outside, you look and you go, 'Oh, I'd never believe that.' But from the inside, when you're indoctrinated by your community and by your family, you start to believe outlandish, crazy things." Felicity added, "So, it's engaging, but I think we need to hear these stories as well."

Elon Musk Dodges Alleged Drug Use Question During Press Conference
Originally appeared on E! Online Elon Musk is reporting from the Oval Office one last time. During the tech mogul and President Donald Trump's press conference May 30, Musk—who is exiting the White House—dodged a question about The New York Times report of his alleged drug use during Trump's campaign. 'Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate?' Musk responded when a reporter brought up the article. 'Is it the same organization? I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax and that they might have to give back that Pulitzer Prize.' (Though Trump has challenged the award and filed a defamation lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board, the title has not been revoked from The New York Times.) Though neither outright addressed the May 30 New York Times article, Trump did say that the businessman had weathered 'outrageous abuse and slander, lies and attacks.' During Trump's presidential election, the New York Times, citing people familiar with Musk's activities, alleged that Musk told people ketamine—which he's previously said he used to treat depressive episodes—had begun to affect his bladder. He also reportedly used Ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and traveled around with a daily medication box holding about 20 pills, according to a photo of the box and witnesses, per the NYT. E! News has not independently verified the New York Times' claims. The outlet reports it is unclear if Musk's alleged drug use continued during his four-month tenure at the White House. The White House as well as reps for Musk did not respond to E! News' request for comment. E! News has also reached out to The New York Times regarding Trump and Musk's claims during the press conference but has not yet heard back. More from E!

News has also reached out to The New York Times regarding Trump and Musk's claims during the press conference but has not yet heard back. To Trump, however, Musk was an MVP on his team. 'He's one of the greatest business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced,' Trump said during the press conference. 'He stepped forward to put his very great talents into the service of our nation, and we appreciate it. And just want to say that Elon has worked tirelessly, helping lead the most sweeping and consequential government reform program in generations.' Musk, meanwhile, spoke to the future of DOGE, noting the 'team will only grow stronger over time.' He continued, 'I liken it to a sort of Buddhism. It's like a way of life. So it is permeating throughout the government, and I'm confident that over time, we'll see a trillion dollars of savings.' The press conference came just two days after Musk announced the end of his four months with the administration. "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending," he wrote on X. "The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."

'We can't rebuild as of right now,' she explained. 'I don't know what we're gonna do. We still have to pay a mortgage on it every month.'

Todd Chrisley Reveals Why He Has No Remorse After Tax Fraud Conviction
Originally appeared on E! Online Todd Chrisley is standing by his and Julie Chrisley's innocence. After the Growing Up Chrisley patriarch and his wife were pardoned by President Donald Trump, he vehemently denied committing tax evasion and wire fraud. 'I would have remorse if it was something that I did,' Todd—who, along with his wife, was convicted at trial in 2022 after pleading not guilty—explained during a May 30 press conference. 'The corruption that went on in our case is going to continue to unfold.' While he didn't provide further details about their future legal plans, he did address Julie's September 2024 apology from her resentencing hearing, in which the judge ultimately upheld her seven-year prison sentence. (Todd and Julie were set to be released in 2032 and 2028, respectively.) 'You're placed in a position as a defendant to bow down and kiss the ass of the Department of Justice,' Todd told reporters, 'and accept responsibility for things that you did not do in order to avoid a stronger sentence.' E! News has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment and has not yet heard back. More from E! Online How Julie Chrisley Feels About Ditching Her Blonde Hair After Prison Taylor Swift Officially Buys Album Masters After Years-Long Music Battle TikToker Emilie Kiser's Lawyer Speaks Out on "Worst Nightmare" After Son's Drowning Death After being incarcerated for over two years, the reality star praised their daughter Savannah Chrisley—who took legal guardianship of her younger siblings Grayson, 18, and Chloe, 11, after their arrest—for advocating on their behalf. "She has fought a long fight, and for any parent to see their child fight this hard, it's a double-edged sword,' he reflected. 'It's a blessing, and then your heart breaks because your child has been placed in that position to fight for you, when, as a parent, you're supposed to fight for your children." It was a sentiment that the White House Pardon Czar Alice Marie Johnson, who helped facilitate their release, echoed. 'The celebrity part really didn't play a role in this,' she explained on NewsNation Live. 'I'm going to say that if they did not have a daughter like Savannah who was out there fighting for them, they would not have been pardoned.' 'This woman has worked relentlessly for her parents,' Alice—whose sentence was commuted by Trump in 2018 after Kim Kardashian's criminal justice reform campaign—said. 'I know that everyone in prison wishes they had an advocate like Savannah Chrisley.' For Savannah's part, she emphasized that she had 'done everything' in her 'power to fight' for Julie and Todd—who are also parents to son Chase Chrisley, 28, as well as Todd and ex-wife Teresa Terry's kids Lindsie Chrisley, 35, and Kyle Chrisley, 33—to come home. 'This moment is the answer to countless prayers, and I am beyond grateful to President Trump for seeing the truth and restoring my family,' she continued in her statement to E! News. 'Today is a victory for our family, but the fight against wrongful convictions and injustice within our prison system is far from over. I will continue to use my voice and platform to advocate for those who do not have one.'
