Eva Longoria and Tony Parker discussing babies

2008-01-12T19:41:00.000+01:00

Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria Parker admits that she's enjoying the newlywed phase with new husband Tony Parker, so much so that she's reluctant to add the pitter-patter of little feet to the equation. Tony, on the other hand, feels like it's time to start a family.

"Tony really wants to have a baby, but I’m scared it's going to change the chemistry. Tony is young, but he really wants his child to be able to go to a game and remember that his dad was an NBA star and to see him play," said Eva.

'Desperate Housewives' Star Chairs Halloween Fundraiser

2007-10-30T22:10:00.000+01:00

Teri Hatcher went trick or treating with her nine-year old daughter last weekend at a Halloween party for the benefit of the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation. Hatcher came home with a necklace but daughter Emerson was outbid for her mom's look-alike Barbie.

Meanwhile, fellow Wisteria lane resident, Eva Longoria, also took part in another charity event, contributing sexy undergarment designs to the Frederick's of Hollywood Lingerie Fashion Show last Wednesday.

First up, Teri Hatcher was all dolled up – literally and figuratively – as the queen of hearts during last Saturday's Dream Halloween's Under the Big Top party at Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar. The costume party cum fundraising event featured an auction whose proceeds were intended for the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation. Aside from Hatcher, the affair also saw other stars like Marlee Matlin, Doris Roberts and Jason Priestley in attendance.

Hatcher, who was chairwoman of the event, auctioned off a unique Barbie doll bearing her likeness and clad in the same Badgley Mischka gown the actress came dressed in. A Desperate Housewives fan coughed up the winning bid of $20,000 for the one of a kind miniature mannequin. Emerson, Hatcher's young daughter, was quite put off that they failed to bring home her mommy's look-alike, saying having the real thing at home still wasn't enough.

"No, the doll's better," said the disappointed nine-year old.

Aside from the Teri Hatcher-like Barbie, the Desperate Housewives actress' own dress also went on sale, fetching $25,000 complete with a dinner date package for the winning bidder. As for Ms. Hatcher, who also had her eye on a few of the pieces up for grabs, the Desperate Housewives co-star managed to snare a necklace which she won the bidding for at $3,000.

Nadine Coyle Dates Jesse's Friend

2007-10-13T15:10:00.000+02:00

Nadine Coyle has reportedly dumped Jesse Metcalfe for his best friend.

The 22-year-old Girls Aloud beauty - who was recently spotted house-hunting in Los Angeles with ‘Desperate Housewives’ actor Jesse - is alleged to have hooked up with English musician Oli Trevena in exclusive Hollywood club Crimson.

A source said: “Jesse was at the club at the same time as Nadine and Oli, and he really wasn’t pleased when he saw them. He marched over and said to Oli, ‘What’s going on? She’s my ex!’ “

Nadine - who is planning to relocate to Los Angeles in December - told 28-year-old Jesse to leave them alone, but the hunky actor refused and forced Nadine to talk to him.

The source added to Britain’s Star magazine: “Jesse just wouldn’t let it go. He kept bugging Nadine, saying he needed to talk to her. She eventually gave in and dragged him to the bar, where they chatted for 20 minutes.

“After she got fed up talking to him, he followed Oli into the toilets and had words with him instead. It hasn’t stopped anything though - Oli has even met Nadine’s mother Lillian.”

Oli, 26, who has lived in Los Angeles for the last four years, has previously been linked to British TV presenter Denise Van Outen and former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens.

Eva Says There is No Sex Tape

2007-10-04T17:35:00.001+02:00

Eva Longoria is laughing about a rumored sex-tape scandal.

It was rumored that Eva and Tony’s lovemaking tape was out and there was much hype created about it.

But Eva says that She and Tony have never filmed themselves in the bedroom and they never made any kind of tape, she said they both are very boring people and also too ‘square’ to film their lovemaking.

The Desperate Housewives star claims that British tabloids, which broke the story overnight, have missed the joke in a spoof sex tape she filmed with comedian Perry Hilton for Web site FunnyOrDie.com.

Eva loves the online spoof film. She says, ‘It’s like the non-sex video because we don’t have sex… It’s so funny… Tony thought it was so freakin’ hilarious… But it’s a skit.’

Looks like rumors have no affect on Eva.

Eva Longoria Sex Tape

Eva Longoria is reportedly the latest celebrity to have a sex tape circulating the Internet.

Rumors have been rife on the web that the saucy video exists and contains intimate scenes featuring the Desperate Housewives beauty and her NBA star hubby Tony Parker.

If the tape is genuine, it is tipped to become the biggest sex tape unearthed since Paris Hilton’s One Night In Paris.

Latest reports from the States suggest the video HAS made its way online, but only on paid for sites.

Last year Longoria was rumored to have featured in a sex tape which also made it online, but it was found out to be fake.

Eva Excited About Gay Neighbors on "Desperate Housewives"

2007-09-24T11:03:00.000+02:00

Desperate Housewives is welcoming its first gay couple this season, and no one seems more excited about the new neighbors than 32-year-old actress, Eva Longoria.

“I am really excited about the gay neighbors, it is about time,” Longoria, who plays Gabrielle Lang on Desperate Housewives, told Access Hollywood during her Emmy red carpet interview on Sunday night. “I am surprised we haven't had them before.

As previously reported, Desperate Housewives' first gay couple, Bob and Lee, will be played by Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm, respectively. The pair relocates from New York City to the small suburban town for the chance to lead a quieter life, but upon installing a large fountain in their new home, find themselves clashing with Katherine Mayfair, a new character played by Dana Delaney.

However, according to Eva Longoria, Katherine is not the only character with whom Bob and Lee will come into conflict.

“They're funny, oh god they're funny,” Longoria said of Watkins and Rahm in their new roles. “[They] have a lot with Teri Hatcher [who plays Susan Mayer] – they are like, catty with her and they don't like her and it is so fun.”

On the other hand, Eva Longoria is hoping her character will form a bond with the new couple, although there hasn't been much interaction between Gabriella and Bob and Lee since filming for Desperate Housewives' fourth season began.

“They're my neighbors. They are actually the house right next to me and I haven't really interacted with them too much,” Longoria told Access Hollywood with a sigh. “I would love [a script involving my character and their characters]. Gabrielle should be friends with the gays.”

Eva Longoria Doesn't LikeKissing Other Men

2007-09-15T12:08:00.000+02:00

Believe it or not Eva Longoria hates doing kissing scenes. She admits that kissing other men is probably the hardest part of the job.

"I hate the kissing. Kissing is the most intimate thing," Longoria says. "It was weird for me before I was married." She also tells Extra TV that her hubby isn't too pleased about it either.

"I'm not sure he's happy with it, but he's not the crazy husband about it," the Desperate Housewives star says. "We don't talk about it because it's just not a comfortable thing to talk about."

The funny thing is that she plays a really promiscuous woman on her TV show. So, Tony must be very jealous and unhappy with that. But, Eva is only doing her job. I suppose...

Eva is back at home in the States and back at work on “Desperate Housewives”. She and newly-minted husband Tony Parker took a week-long honeymoon, alone, on the Turks and Caicos island in the Caribbean. But, as of Monday, Longoria was back on the set of “Desperate Housewives”. Oh, and in case you were wondering, don’t expect to see her name changed in the credits. At least, not yet.

“It will say Longoria for a while, but I love the tradition of taking the name Parker,” the actress told OK! “Legally everything is changed.”

Parker Feels Weird Wearing a Ring

2007-07-19T17:48:00.000+02:00

With all the hardware Tony Parker has racked up over the past several years playing for the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, it’s the latest addition to his collection - his wedding ring - that’s on his mind.

Parker, just back from a honeymoon with actress-wife Eva Longoria, said the band will take some getting used to.

“It’s weird, it’s weird,” Parker said Tuesday night. “I don’t wear rings. … The only ring that I was wearing is our championship rings, but you only wear that maybe two times, three times maybe. So I have to get used to it.”

Parker, 25, and Longoria, 32, married in a civil ceremony July 6 in Paris. The next day, a priest married them in a church across from the Louvre Museum, followed by an exclusive bash at a storied French chateau.

Parker said it was only on his recent honeymoon that he was able to reflect on what has been a banner year. Parker won his third championship with the Spurs, was named MVP of the finals and then exchanged vows with “Desperate Housewives” star Longoria.

“I can’t complain. I feel very blessed. It was an unbelievable year for me and for the team. And it was just great. It’s hard for me to put (in) words and explain,” said Parker, who was at a premiere party for a DVD chronicling the Spurs’ run to their fourth championship in nine seasons.

“When I was on the honeymoon I finally sat down and tried to realize what we accomplished, and me personally. But it’s still hard. I just think I’m going to realize that later on. When you look at your career, I’m going to say, ‘Man, 2007, it was a great year,’” Parker added.

Parker said Longoria - in a silk wool and silk gazar scoop-back mermaid gown embroidered with silver metallic designed by Angel Sanchez - looked “amazing” and “beautiful” on their wedding day and that the event was unbelievable.

Besides his ring, Parker is also getting accustomed to the ever-present paparazzi.

“It’s not like Brad Pitt, or Britney Spears. It’s not that bad. And when we’re in San Antonio it’s OK,” he said. “It’s more for Eva, it’s not me. I’m just there holding hands, they take pictures. It’s her world.”

And as for his ring, Parker said he’ll do his best to keep track of it before and after games.

“A lot of my teammates told me they lost it like five or six times,” Parker said. “So I’m going to try to lose it only one or two times.”

Longoria and Parker Marryin Religious Ceremony

2007-07-08T13:10:00.000+02:00

One day after officially tying the knot in a small civil ceremony in Paris, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker have said their vows again—this time in front of over 250 friends and family in a lavish church ceremony.

The festivities were held on Saturday at the Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, which was decorated with more than 1,000 flowers. Celebrity guests including Ryan Seacrest, Mario Lopez, Sheryl Crow, Jessica Alba, William H. Macy, and Longoria's co-stars Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan were on hand to witness the Desperate Housewife and her basketball champion, 25, say, “I do.”

Longoria, 32, walked down the aisle in a couture Angel Sanchez mermaid gown made of silk wool with silk metallic embroidery, a scoop back and a long train.

The hour-long service was officiated by Father Dominic Schubert, who exclusively tells Usmagazine.com, "The couple wanted a quiet church wedding and now they have been married by God.” He continued, “"They wanted proceedings to be low-key and dignified and they are extremely happy with how everything went.  We were delighted that they were able to celebrate their love in front of so many family and friends.”

After the wedding ceremony guests were driven off in buses to the reception at the Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte, a 17th century chateau outside Paris. VIP guests and family members left in grey Mercedes vans, while Eva and Tony were chauffeured in a black Rolls Royce Phantom. "The crowds of hundreds of fans outside went wild and shouted, ‘congratulations’ to them in chorus as they drove out," an onlooker tells Us.

Longoria and Parker were engaged in November of 2006, after 2 years of dating. Since their engagement, they've been plagued with rumors of a split, and even a sex-strike. Today, those rumors were squashed once and for all.

Longoria-Parker Wedding Day is Near

2007-07-05T19:25:00.000+02:00

According to France24.com Eva Longoria’s wedding ceremony will take place this Saturday at Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois church in Paris which is really close to the Louvre.

Then the guests and husband and wife will be shuttled off to Vaux-le-Vicomte for the rest of the festivities.

The two locations are actually about 54 minutes away by car. I wonder if these rumors are true? Will Eva’s wedding day be split up with an almost hour long drive? I guess this could give Eva and Tony time alone as husband and wife before seeing all their guests. Also it would give them the chance to take pictures along the French countryside on the way.

Claire Forlani and Dougray ScottGet Married

2007-06-09T23:05:00.000+02:00

Dougray Scott who played Ian (Susan Mayer’s ex-fiance)on Desperate Housewives has tied the knot with actress Claire Forlani.

Desperate Housewives actor Dougray Scott and actress Claire Forlani wed in a private civil ceremony in Italy on Friday, PEOPLE has learned.

"They’re both very excited," a source says about the newlyweds.

Forlani wore a custom-made strapless gown with a "classic, Old Hollywood feel" by designer Junko Yoshioka for Bonaparte-NY, says the source. She completed her look with a crystal hair pin by Swarovski and Jimmy Choo heels.

The bride’s father, Pierluigi, is Italian and helped his daughter plan the festivities for more than 100 guests. He told Italian newspaper Il Resto del Carlino that, at the reception at the family’s country home in Pievebovigliana, "I will be the official cook of the event."

The couple met a year and a half ago through a mutual friend. Scott, 41, proposed to Forlani, 35, in Los Angeles in September. "It was very romantic," Scott, who presented Forlani with a ring he designed, told PEOPLE. "I feel so lucky to have met her. She’s an amazing actress and human being. I’m very happy."

Scott recently played Teri Hatcher’s love interest on Housewives. Next up for the Scottish actor, who also starred in Mission: Impossible II, is the World War II movie The Cone Gatherer with Emily Watson.

Forlani has a recurring role on CSI: New York. She’s also appeared in films including Mallrats and Meet Joe Black.

You know, I actually do feel pressure to be back … looking the way I did before I left. But I don’t think it’s just for TV, because I would feel that way regardless, because I just want to be at my best. Maybe I wouldn’t worry about being quite so thin because the camera adds those pounds.

Teri Hatcher and James Denton Talk AboutTheir Desperate Housewives Wedding

2007-05-19T16:29:00.000+02:00

Teri Hatcher and James Denton, cast members on Desperate Housewives who play Susan Mayer and Mike Delfino, reveal their sentiments about their onscreen wedding, which will be featured on Sunday’s episode at 9/8C on ABC.

In the previous episode of Desperate Housewives, viewers learned that Susan decided to marry Mike instead of Ian, played by Dougray Scott. However, Gabby, played by Eva Longoria, took the opportunity to use Susan’s wedding to get married to Victor, played by John Slattery. Gabby offered $10,000 when Susan objected to the idea. After much arguing, the two girls eventually made up.

The question is what will now happen to Susan’s wedding? According Hatcher, Susan will get married in the forest on Sunday. "I think it is a scene that is really sweet and very simple," Hatcher has told ET Online. "After three years of waiting, I feel the audience will be satisfied. When we did the read-through of the script, Felicity [Huffman] was at the other end of the table and she went, 'Ah.' I thought, if you can make Felicity Huffman, go 'ah,' you're good."

As for Denton, he is a little worried about what will be next for Susan and Mike. He has told ET, "Unlike my marriage where the flame never died, in this TV marriage, it is something that I am concerned about. I think the writers are concerned, too, because you don't want to jump the shark. You want people to still be really fascinated with them."

On the other hand, Denton is aware that this TV marriage will bring forth a new saga to the drama. "Mike is going to be such a fish out of water with Julie [Susan’s daughter], I think there is going to be a lot of comedy from that. Plus, Mike still has a lot of stuff in his past that may come back to be a little difficult for them," he has added.

Felicity Huffman's Movie Bombs

2007-05-14T18:46:00.000+02:00

Perhaps TV stars should stay away from the big screen. Following disastrous box office results for Matthew Fox's "We Are Marshall," "Desperate Housewives" co-star Nicolette Sheridan's "Code Name: The Cleaner" and Adam Brody's "In the Land of Women," Felicity Huffman's new movie "Georgia Rule" bombed at the weekend box office collecting a scant $5,9 million.

Veteran actress Jane Fonda and scandal-prone starlet Lindsay Lohan could not save the movie that had a reported budget of $60 million, which means it will have to earn over $100 million if the studio "Universal Pictures" is to reach the break-even point.

International distribution, DVD rentals and TV rights can help, but with initial box office so low, this movie will go down as a bomb.

The honchos at the studio who could not have been very happy to see the initial figures on Sunday morning, had already been at the end of their tether when they issued an unusual written reproach to Lohan during the production of the movie.

They called her conduct "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional" and said it had "endangered the quality of the picture."

A furious Eva accused Tony of getting cold feet, reminding him that the plans are already in place for a July 7 wedding deadline in Paris.

Tony, in the meantime, countered with the ever-so-sensible: "I didn’t say we weren’t getting married -- I just wanted to postpone it to promote my album."

Kirkland Baker, famed for her work on Frasier, will come on board on ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning comedy-drama series, Desperate Housewives, as a co-executive producer. She will be joining fellow Frasier alums Anne Flett-Giordano and Chuck Ranberg, who also will work as co-executive producers on Desperate Housewives on the upcoming season.

Desperate Housewives has gained much critical acclaim since it premiered in October 2004, evident in its numerous awards and nominations such as Golden Globe’s Best TV Series: Musical or Comedy, and Screen Actors Guild’s Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Whether it’s the talented actors, the dramatic plot or the artistic direction, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly just what has caused the success of Desperate Housewives.

At any rate, it would be interesting to see what the combined efforts of Kirkland, Flett-Giordano and Ranberg, could do. Will they be able to bring the same kind of comedic tone and success to Desperate Housewives that garnered 39 Emmy awards for Frasier? Fans will just have to wait for season four to find out.

Polly Bergen Cast As Lynnette's Momon Desperate Housewives

2007-04-24T19:41:00.000+02:00

May sweeps are just around the corner and that means stunt casting in TV land. Polly Bergen who played Gina Davis' Madame President's mom on ABC's "Commander In Chief" last season is coming to "Desperate Housewives" as a very, very different kind of mom.

According to TV Guide, Bergen who makes her first appearance in the May 20 season finale episode, will come to "help Lynette deal with a life-threatening health crisis" (so perhaps Susan isn't the one who gets cancer after all).

According to the actress "She shows up smoking and drinking; it should be a really fun character."

Meanwhile, as previously announced, M*A*S*H veteran Mike Farrell has been tapped to play Victor's billionaire dad (and Gaby's soon-to-be father-in-law).

stint in rehab, decided she would not tolerate his actions and called off
their romance.

She told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “It’s over between me and Jesse.
I’m not the kind of girl to put up with nonsense like that.

“I’m disappointed, but what can I do? There’s no point hanging on when it
gets to this stage.”

Last month, it was claimed Jesse was ready to propose to Nadine, after
dating her for just over a year.

Bride-to-be Eva Longoria celebrated her wedding shower alongside her Desperate Housewives co-stars, with Teri Hatcher making a surprise appearance in a toilet paper frock to honour the occasion.

It appears that Longoria and Hatcher, 42, have buried the hatchet - the stars were rumoured to be feuding after Hatcher began dating Longoria’s ex-boyfriend, director Stephen Kay in November.

The star-studded party was held at Felicity Huffman’s pad in the Hollywood Hills, with the guest list also featuring Longoria’s other onscreen pals Nicollette Sheridan and new mum Marcia Cross.

Henderson: "Desperate HousewivesNeed To Socialize More"

2007-04-11T09:51:00.000+02:00

Josh Henderson believes tension among his female co-stars may have arisen because they never socialize off-set.

The actor, who plays Austin McCan in the hit show, says his co-stars, including Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria, only ever interact during filming or at work-related events.

He says, "I get asked about the tensions a lot. I've really never seen any problems or trauma. You know, the girls all have their own lives. They have boyfriends or families, so I suppose they don't hang out much as friends. But they're always going to parties and work-related nights out with the rest of the cast and they get on fine."

Eva Longoria (Gabrielle Solis) has signed up to host and produce The 2007 ALMA Awards, marking her second year of involvement with the ceremony that recognizes Latino artistic achievement in American film, television and music.

"It is an honor to return as host of the ALMA Awards and to also be working with NCLR to contribute creatively to the production of the show," said Longoria (from a press release at The Futon Critic). "This year we are going to have an action packed telecast filled with surprises, as we celebrate the achievements of the Latino community."

The event is organized by The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), "the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.", and will take place on Friday June 1 2007. A two-hour broadcast of the event will air on ABC will on Tuesday June 5.

"With our stellar production team and support from the Latino community, we are confident that this year's telecast will be one of the most memorable television events of the year."

Meanwhile in other news, Longoria said that she's now being taken too seriously in the acting world reported The Gossip Girls.

"Probably 80 percent of the scripts I get are dramatic," said Longoria. "I've had very few sexy offers, to the point that I'm getting annoyed and going 'Hey! Where's the sexy stuff?' I'm going with the sexy roles for a long as I can, because women have an expiration date in this business.'"

Desperate Housewives Cast Members Play Golf for Charity

2007-03-19T22:39:00.000+01:00

The Desperate Housewives cast, as well as the crewmembers donated a hundred to a thousand dollars each in an effort to help the Casa Pacifica children’s charity.
Among the cast members of Desperate Housewives, Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan Mayer, Dougray Scott, who plays Ian Kavanaugh, Brenda Strong, who acts as Mary Alice Young, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, who portrays Carlos Solis, and Doug Savant, who plays Tom Scavo, all took part in the generous act by playing golf for charity.

Among the notable participants, Dougray Scott came out as the most experienced, having previous experience in golf when he was a child. In fact, his dad introduced him to the game since he was just six years old. He said, “I was brought up playing [golf]."

As for the rest of the bunch, they did nearly average. And although most of them were novices on the field, they were still eager to compete as they were motivated by their good intentions just like Brenda Strong who has not picked up a club in the past twelve years, and Ricardo Antonio Chavira who has only played golf the first time two days before the competition. In fact, Chavira enjoyed the tournament with John Slattery. He said, "I'm going to kick his butt."

Overall the friendly tournament brought the Desperate Housewives gang in more light and benevolent atmosphere with their aim to aid the needy.
