Man Finds Nude Photos Of 'Desperate Housewife' Actress In Trash (Marcia Cross)

<snip>

NEW YORK -- Actress Marcia Cross is apparently desperate to get back nude photos of her that were thrown in the trash.

According to the New York Daily News, a man who works for the carting firm hired to remove trash from Cross' home in Los Angeles discovered the photos when he got to the dump.

An agent hired by the company, David Hans Schmidt, told the News that he has more than 200 photos of the "Desperate Housewives" actress -- some where she is purportedly showering outside.

Schmidt told the paper that Cross, who is nude in the photos, "looks absolutely gorgeous."

Cross' attorneys said that no matter where the photos were found, they're still her property.

But Schmidt claimed otherwise.

"The pictures were not stolen," Schmidt told the News. "When you throw something away, you forfeit that property."

Cross, 44, and her husband, Tom Mahoney, 48, were married last June. The couple is expecting their first child in April.

1. More on this, from a couple days ago...

Desperate Housewives actress Marcia Cross is battling to keep naked pictures of her from being published. Two hundred sexy snaps were reportedly discovered by a catering company hired to removed rubbish from redhead Cross' home in Los Angeles. The firm's owner is being represented by agent David Hans Schmidt, who plans to sell the pictures. Schmidt tells the New York Daily News, "There are some pictures of her showering outside. She looks absolutely gorgeous. And yes, the carpet does match the curtains."

But 44-year-old Cross' legal team claim the photos were thrown away by mistake and insist they still belong to her and husband Tom Mahoney. She is demanding their return. But Schmidt is confident he has the law behind him and hints he plans to sell them abroad: "The pictures were not stolen. When you throw something away, you forfeit that property. We recognize the copyright issue, but US copyright law stops at the border." But he has given Cross the opportunity to buy the photos back, claiming he knows how wealthy she is after discovering her tax return in the trash as well. Schmidt adds, "I'm not looking to mortify Ms. Cross. I just want the most money for my client. I know how much she made, but out of respect for Ms. Cross, I won't discuss it."

3. What a jerk. Are people so desperate for money they would intentionally

go against someone's wishes? I'd return the pictures, but I guess I'm just nice that way.

4. Once it's in the trash, it's public property

That's why the cops can search your trash without worry about your Constitutional rights (well, the ones we used to have).

8. Who keeps that many nude photos of herself?

:eyes:

I keep two, maybe three tops.:evilgrin:

Word of advice Famous People: if you don't want nude pix found in the trash, then don't take nude pix and throw them in the trash.

Better yet -- get a shredder.

What a :dunce: !
