The 'Desperate Housewives' star Teri Hatcher was so upset over the divorce settlement from the point of view of financial terms that she plans to take drastic measures for the future.

She broke up with husband Jon Tenney in 2003, after being married for almost nine years, and she confessed that the alimony left her sore.

So men who are to invite her to dinner should know that she won't ever offer to pay the bill:

"Let's put it this way, I will never pay for dinner again. I will never pull out my credit card on a date again."

Maybe the actress will balance herself from a financial point of view if she wins the trial she has just filed a British tabloid for publishing an offensive article.

It was about her never offering to pay for the hotel room. No, that was a very bad joke. The article claimed Teri was using a Volkswagen van as the location for 'sex romps' with men. The vehicle was allegedly parked outside her L.A. home for this purpose.
