"Nicolette Sheridan has lost her appeal against the producers of Desperate Housewives, it has been reported.  The 48-year-old actress, who played Edie Britt on the ABC show between 2004 and 2009, launched a $20 million lawsuit against producer Marc Cherry in April 2010.    In the lawsuit, Sheridan argued that she had been wrongfully terminated from her role on the show, and also made claims of assault and sexual harassment.  A Los Angeles judge rejected the battery charge in March 2012 due to lack of evidence, and in August 2012 the entire case was dismissed.  Sheridan then filed an appeal with California&amp;#039;s Supreme Court, which was again dismissed by a judge on Friday (November 16), according to WENN.  Since her alleged termination from Desperate Housewives, Sheridan has starred in several TV movies.  She most recently starred opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt in the romantic comedy Jewtopia.
