Desperate Housewives

Let's hope John Barrowman didn't just jinx himself.

The Torchwood star says he's in negotiations to play a role on the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives. He sounds quite confident about his prospects to appear on the ABC hit.

During a radio interview last week, Barrowman said he was about to meet up with series writers/producers in Los Angeles to discuss the role. He later posted on his Twitter account:

"Can you believe it, I'm going to be a Desperate Housewife!"

The Scottish actor didn't say what character he'd play. But we're guessing it won't actually be a housewife.
