MARCIA CROSS KNOWS WAY TO MANS HEART

Marcia Cross is determined to become the perfect housewife like her uptight character Bree Van De Kamp in 'Desperate Housewives'.The red-haired actress - who is expecting twins with her stockbroker husband Tom Mahoney - admits she is useless in the kitchen but is determined to learn because she thinks food is the way to a man's heart. She said: "I think men instinctively look to their women for food, so I'm starting to learn to cook. I never did it before because I was just too busy. But now... well, I'm starting to think ahead a little and to shop."I can steam vegetables and make chicken, and last week I made some pasta. And sure enough I saw Tom was gobbling it up, and I thought, 'Aha - that's the way to their heart - you've got to keep them fed!' So I better buck up then."
