Feb. 7, 2007 — -- Despite rumors to the contrary, "Desperate Housewives" actress Teri Hatcher says she doesn't use Botox.

"I don't use Botox or Restylane, and I've never had any surgery, no matter what you've read," Hatcher said in the March issue of the British edition of Glamour.

According to Hatcher, the rumors go with being a celebrity.

"That's the one downside to fame -- on any one day you can find loads of hideously mean things said about you online," she told Glamour magazine, according to People.com. "[My friend] keeps threatening to put these computer child locks on my computer so I can't torture myself. It hurts, you know?"

Over the years, Hatcher has struggled with self-esteem, which leaves her more mellow about wrinkles.

"The appearance of a few more lines doesn't really worry me so much," she told the magazine.

Hatcher recently was in Park City, Utah, at the Sundance Film Festival to promote her new film, "Resurrecting the Champ," which also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Hartnett. The film premiered there and was generally well received.

Accompanying her to the film festival was her new boyfriend, Stephen Kay, an actor, screenwriter and director.

During an interview with the syndicated TV show "Extra" before the Golden Globe Awards last month, an enthusiastic Hatcher raved about her new beau.

"I'm not single anymore," she said. "I'm totally in love and it's fabulous. I will just say that he's the most beautiful human being on the planet."

She smooched him for the camera and added, "He doesn't want to be here!"

The actress wouldn't speculate on whether their romance would bring them to the altar. "Oh please. I'm just happy to be happy. I'm always the last one!" she said.

Last year, Hatcher revealed to Vanity Fair magazine that she was sexually molested by an uncle when she was 5 years old.

The interview, with Leslie Bennetts, was the first time Hatcher had talked publicly about the abuse, which she said took place 35 years ago. Hatcher, 42, later helped put the man -- her uncle -- behind bars.
