Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher finds European paparazzi frightening - after her friend was aggressively threatened by photographers in France. The 43-year-old was visiting Paris to celebrate her co-star Eva Longoria Parker's lavish wedding to NBA star Tony Parker last July when she was surrounded by a "swarm" of photographer taking pictures of the wedding's celebrity guests.

However, the star insists the media intrusion went too far after photographers turned on her friend who had politely asked them to stop - prompting a torrent of undeserved expletives and threats on his life. She explains, "I had a kind of scary time when I was in France for Eva's (Longoria Parker) wedding. I was out with a French friend and my daughter Emerson, and we were kind of swarmed by papas."

"My friend said to them, nicely, 'Would you please stop now? She's with her daughter. This is too much.' They swore at him in French and told him the would punch him in the face and kill him. That's not so great but that's not the norm."
