I want to dislike Teri Hatcher, I really do. In fact before I read the synopsis of her interview on the Oprah site I had the opinion that the woman can’t snap out of her crybaby routine. After reading what she said and getting an idea of what she went through, I have to say that it kind of touched me. I hope that she can get some therapy and realize that she has it pretty good now and that the past is behind her.

She talked a lot about her childhood abuse and how painful the situation was. She also said that Ryan Seacrest dumped her after a couple of dates, and made it sound like she actually bought into the situation:

She denied dating Clooney at all, and said that she only went on one date with him. She also said she doesn’t use botox and talked about the fake hair and boob tape that everyone uses to look better on the red carpet.

She looks pretty bad in recent pictures so maybe she doesn’t use botox and that’s the problem. As for her relationship with Clooney, I really doubt that they only had one date. There were all sorts of rumors about that. Still, now that I discovered quotes from a personal trainer about Katie Holmes that were completely made up, I have a lot less faith in the gossip industry.

Hatcher has a new memoir out, called “Burnt Toast,” in which she chronicles her sad love life. She reveals that she didn’t have sex with her second husband on her honeymoon, and they only had sex once in the year her daughter was conceived.

Hatcher says she’s now looking for love and wants lots of sex. As we pointed out earlier, this is not the way to go about it, but at least it will sell books.

Here she is on Oprah. There’s a short video clip for the show on the Oprah website. (This is up as of today, May 3rd, and may be removed shortly)

Update: Video segment where Teri discusses the Ryan Seacrest situation.
