SHE’S touching down in Oz to shoot a mini-series next month, but sitcom star Debra Messing has issued a warning to the film’s producers – she won’t be going anywhere near the ocean. The Will and Grace star admitted the death of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin has left her terrified of swimming in Australian waters. While Messing (pictured) said she was "very much’’ looking forward to coming to Australia to film mini series The Starter’s Wife, she has revealed her demands for a body double to stand in for any ocean-related scenes. "I told them I am not going in the ocean. I told them I need a stunt double,’’ she said from LA this week Messing, who will be accompanied by her husband Daniel and their toddler Roman during her stay, stars as a Hollywood wife who has been ditched on the Gold Coast by her movie mogul husband. In addition to her swimming ban, Messing also announced to producers that her famous flaming red locks wouldn’t be making it to Australia. Celebrity spotters will want to keep their eyes keenly peeled – because after decades of being a bloodnut, Messing has told producers "enough is enough’’. "We were just talking and I was really pushing for dark brown,’’ she said. "They (producers) were like, `We like the red’ – I was like ‘I bet you do’.’’

What a freaking Diva. Wait until the movie bombs at the box office if it actually makes it to the big screen.
