THE TRUTH ABOUT TERI:
Lois & Clark Star Teri Hatcher Separates Fact From Tabloid Rumor
(New York, N.Y.) -- The [tabloid] press has been picking on me, and I don't
really understand why, Teri Hatcher tells IN STYLE. There's never been any
controversy about me. So it was time to make some stuff up. Some of the stuff
Hatcher says the tabloids invented about the co-star of ABC's Lois & Clark: The
New Adventures of Superman are debunked in this month's issue:
Rumor: Teri Hatcher is anorexic. Fact: The anorexia thing is worse than stupid,
says Hatcher, who is a small but unscrawny 5-foot-6, 106 pounds. I have never
had any kind of eating disorder; I've always been way too athletic and way too
in love with food to have an eating disorder. What I find most offensive about
all this is its potential effect on young girls, adds Hatcher, citing letters
she's received from young fans who say they've stopped eating because she's
anorexic. People can say what they want about me. It may hurt, but you know
what? I'll get up the next day. I'll be fine. Some 14- or 15-year-old girl stops
eating that's not fine.
Rumor: Hatcher and husband Jon Tenney are on the outs: she went house-hunting on
her own. Fact: Jon and I have been looking for a new house together for a long
time, she says. Jon is just a tremendous human being, and I can't imagine not
being with him, and I know he feels the same way. In fact, she adds, Jon wants
three or four children.
Part of the paparazzi problem, Hatcher admits, is that she just doesn't make for
good tabloid copy. I don't go to clubs; I don't go shopping. I am not motivated
by money, she says. The one thing I do like to do that costs money is to take
unbelievably exotic trips. For their honeymoon, IN STYLE reports, Hatcher and
Tenney chartered a 70-foot yacht and went sailing and scuba diving through the
uninhibited islands of Fiji. And that's a fact.
