Nicollette Sheridan’s manager has sued her for more than $500,000 E! Online reports today.

Rob Lee is claiming the “Desperate Housewives” star failed to keep her end of a deal made between the two when they first partnered. At the time the two began their partnership, Sheridan was not a well known actress and got very little work, but she paid him 10 per cent of whatever she made. She stopped paying him in 2004 after she fired him.

Lee’s claim also says that he convinced the actress to attend the second audition for the hit ABC show, which originally Sheridan didn’t plan on doing. The suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior District Court yesterday. Sheridan has not commented on the current lawsuit yet.

For the second year in a row, Eva Longoria, star of ABC’s hit “Desperate Housewives,” has topped Maxim Magazine’s “Hot 100″ women list, the Associated Press reports.

The women are among the most successful in television, film, music, sports and fashion.

According to the AP, Longoria was shocked to hear of her win for a second consecutive year.

“I was actually really shocked last year when I made the list,” Longoria told the news service, because the year before she ranked No. 91.

“So 91 to No. 1 was a big jump, and then to get it a second time in a row, I just couldn’t believe it. I was like, ‘Surely there are more beautiful women in the world.’ I can name 10.”

This is the first time the number one spot has been occupied by the same woman for two consecutive years.

The number two spot went to Jessica Alba. Lindsay Lohan, Angelina Jolie, Stacy Keibler, Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz, Kate Bosworth, Keira Knightley and singer-actress Christina Milian round out the top 10.

The only other two Housewives to make the list were Nicolette Sheridan (number 48) and Teri Hatcher (number 73).
