Marcia Cross in legal battle over nude photos

Mom-to-be Marcia Cross is trying to stop naked pictures of herself from being sold and published. Two hundred clothes-less pics of Cross were reportedly discovered by a catering company hired to remove garbage from the Desperate Housewives star's LA home. The company has hired an agent who plans to sell the shots, and told 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." Attorneys for Cross say the photos were thrown out by mistake and insist they still belong to the star and her husband, but the catering company's rep disagrees. "The pictures were not stolen," he said. "When you throw something away, you forfeit that property. We recognize the copyright issue, but U.S. copyright law stops at the border." The agent went on to say Cross's tax returns were also found in the trash. "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." Yeah, you sound like a real class act there buddy.
