Latina beauty EVA LONGORIA has an idea to help spice up the ratings of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES – introduce a lesbian affair between NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN and MARCIA CROSS’ characters. The 31-year-old actress believes Sheridan’s EDIE BRITT and Cross’ uptight BREE VAN DE KAMP would be an ideal lesbian couple on the hit ABC show, but would be happy to volunteer her own character GABRIELLE SOLIS to get up close and personal with Britt instead. Longoria says, “They’d be a pair to reckon with. They would cause quite a ruckus.”

Jessica & Eva: Friendship Over?
Whatever daddy wants… daddy gets – and after dissing daughter JESSICA SIMPSON’s marriage to ex NICK LACHEY, Papa Svengali/manager JOE SIMPSON wants His Little Girl to deep-six her friendship with “Desperate Housewives” co-star EVA LONGORIA – because every time they’re out in public, he claims, Eva hogs the limelight! Insiders say that Jessica tried to ignore her daddy’s dictator routine, but he stepped up his anti-Eva offensive with behind-the-scenes sabotage when Jessica and her girlfriends – Eva included – set up a dinner to celebrate her birthday at a Gollywood eatery. Sneaky Joe had an assistant phone Eva and tell her Jessica had to cancel because she was ill. Then he arranged for a private plane to whisk Jess and galpals to Vegas, where they partied hearty at a post birthday bash… without Eva, who had “mysteriously” neglected to RSVP! When Eva realized she’d been duped, she was furious – and Jessica was left holding the bag and apologizing profusely for the snub… but Longoria’s livid! Stay tuned.

Designers now desperate for Longoria
Eva Longoria loves getting revenge on fashion designers who snubbed her.
The Desperate Housewives actress has revealed one top designer refused to dress her before she starred in the hit US show – but is now desperate for her to wear his clothes.
She said: “There is that one fashion designer who said, ‘We’re not dressing her,’ because he thought I was such a nobody. When he sends clothes for free now, I send them right back.”
The 31-year-old brunette admits she was frustrated after being rejected for several acting roles before getting her big break playing feisty housewife Gabrielle Solis.
She said in an interview with Playboy magazine: “I was turned down for the starring role in Dark Angel – which went to Jessica Alba. And I was snubbed for the lead in Spanglish. I auditioned to be one of the girls who escorted the wrestlers on Battle Dome and didn’t get it and I was fired from The Young and the Restless. But I’m not bitter at all.”
