The one-time star of the ludicrous television series Lois And Clark walked onto stage with Brandon Routh, leading man in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns, and made an obvious joke about how Clark Kent forgot his glasses. We didn't laugh.

But her sense of humour isn't why we like this Desperate Housewives actress. Neither -- ignore the Globe nomination -- is her acting talent.

Teri's special quite simply because she is superquotable, and possibly the hottest 41-year-old currently on television.

Oh, and her dress was nice.
