Julie Mayer to return next season!
July 8, 2009 by Amy Bartner
After we spent most of last season NOT seeing Julie Mayer (played by Andrea Bowen), I’m hearing from multiple sources that she’ll be back when the season resumes on Sept. 27. (yay!!)
Hollywood Reporter is also saying that Andrea’s working on her first album of pop-rock songs she wrote. I can’t wait to have Julie back AND to hear Andrea’s music.
How do we think it’ll be?

Teri Hatcher’s got leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegs!
July 7, 2009 by Amy Bartner
….and I think she knows how to use them? Teri Hatcher’s looking GREAT here after eating at STK on Monday night. I don’t know that I can think of a time when I saw her wearing orange? She’s tan and summery looking, and just relaxed.
But she obviously didn’t eat enough at STK. Too skinny, Teri!

We want Sarah Palin to move to Wisteria Lane
July 6, 2009 by Amy Bartner
With Sarah Palin’s recent announcement that she’ll be stepping down early as governor of Alaska, we’re going back to some old rumors that swirled late last year: that she could become the newest desperate housewife. Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly has the same idea.
It was sort of mentioned lightly last year, what with her hot career in politics and all….but now? This is seriously a viable option for the conservative pro-abstinence parent of an unwed teenage mother. Ken’s reasoning is that we need a replacement for Edie. I disagree — we need someone to take over the NRA-badge-totin role on this show. Bree’s gotten far too moderate these days, don’t you think?
So I’m using this blog as a political platform. Post a comment if you want to see the former VP candidate as an actress on “Desperate Housewives.” Maybe she and Marc will see it and listen to us. You, American Desperate Housewives Fans, can have your voice heard!
Who’s with me??

Only Eva Longoria Parker does it in heels
July 4, 2009 by Amy Bartner
I love Eva Longoria Parker.
OK, now that I have that out of the way, can I talk about how ridiculous(ly awesome??) she looks riding on the back of Tony’s scooter (??) as they zip around France on Thursday. Seriously? Snakeskin platform pumps are ALWAYS a good idea, but maybe not while on the back of a moped?
Hey, at least they’re wearing helmets.

Eva Longoria spills her cookies
July 4, 2009 by Amy Bartner
Eva Longoria Parker has said over and over again how she’s actually a lot less desperate and a lot more housewife to husband Tony Parker in real life. So I can imagine that her recipe for pan de polvo — Mexican wedding cookies — is phenomenal.
Here’s her recipe, from InStyle magazine:
2 whole sticks of Mexican cinnamon
1 teaspoon of anise seed (ooh, spicy!)
1 and 1/2 cups of water
1/3 cup of unsalted butter
1/3 cup of butter-flavored shortening
One half a cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of almond extract (mmm…if I had my way, everything would be flavored with almond).
2 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 of a teaspoon of salt
Sugary cookie topping:
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons of sugar
Keep reading for the rest of the recipe!
Eva Longoria visits the hair god(s)
July 3, 2009 by Amy Bartner
Here’s Eva Longoria Parker leaving Ken Paves’ salon this week. Can you take a guess how much her Valentino Petale handbag is?
Is it:
$450
$700
$1,200
$2,500
$10,000
The answer? $2,500. It’s more than I’ll ever have to spend on a bag, but this one’s so gorgeous it’s worth it. Sometimes those overpriced purses are nothing more than a vehicle for the company’s logo, you know? This one’s managed to combine classic and modern (and metallic, yay!) all in one bag. Want!
P.S. What’s going on with your lips, girl?? Please don’t tell me you’ve started down this road….

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker try to sneak out of her own restaurant
July 1, 2009 by Amy Bartner
Paparazzi caught Eva Longoria Parker and her husband Tony Parker last night, sneaking out of Beso — the restaurant she owns.
I think this is the perfect time to play “What Are Eva and Tony Saying?” Yes?
Tony: Here, baby, lemme open this door for you. …while I laugh at this dude sayin’ something funny behind you. You can’t see him, though, because I’m four feet taller than you.
Eva: It’s cool. My eye level only goes to this fake bling on your shirt. And this graphic pattern at your waist. Wait. What? Why am I married to someone who wears a fake blinged-out skull and cross bones on his shirt? Why are you squeezing my hand so hard? Tony? Tooonnnyy??
Tony: Don’t worry ’bout it, baby. I’m just holding on tight because, you know, I don’t want you to go anywhere. Because daaaang, you look good.
Eva: Oh, thank god! Paparazzi will save me! Never thought I’d be happy to see them! Guys? Tony’s got my hand. He’s not letting go. Anyone?
Tony: I totally can’t hear a word you’re sayin down there, Itsy Bit.
Eva: What’s wrong with me? Toolish shirt or not, you’re still hot. And you’re right about me. Look at the good job Ken Paves did on my hair. Daaaaaang I look good.

Does Jesse Metcalfe look OK to drive??
June 30, 2009 by Amy Bartner
I think the title of this post sums up this photo of Jesse Metcalfe leaving Hyde last night quite well.
Do we think the former underage gardener and rehabber looks like he’s sober enough to drive himself home after a night at the favorite spot of celebrity club-goers?

L’Oreal found guilty of racial discrimination
June 27, 2009 by Amy Bartner
The giant makeup empire that uses the multi-racial faces of Beyonce, Kerry Washington and, of course, our very own Eva Longoria Parker, has been accused of pushing for an all-white staff of people to hawk their shampoos.
The Paris Appeal Court in France found L’Oreal and the recruiting company they used (Adecco) guilty of discrimination after they allegedly told recruiters not to hire any “BBR” hosts to sell Fructis shampoo in French supermarkets, according to the London Times.
“BBR” means “bleu, blanc, rouge” — “blue, white, red” — the colors of the French flag and a code for “white people.”
L’Oreal and Adecco were fined 30,000 euros.
What company will use the beautiful faces of these women to sell the products, but acts differently about those same faces working behind the scenes?

Perez Hilton regrets making light of fight involving Jesse Metcalfe
June 24, 2009 by Amy Bartner
If you’re a pop culture-head (like me?) you can’t get away from the train wreck that is this bizarre fight between Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas and Perez Hilton at the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto on Sunday. Perez was hit in the face — he says by the Black Eyed Peas’ manager. Both sides have since taken to all forms of social media in an exhausting war of text.
In the most recent statement from Perez, as posted on his Web site yesterday, he (sorta) apologizes for poking fun at an altercation Jesse Metcalfe (who used to play Gaby’s underage gardener and love interest, John Rowland) had with a bachelor party last May. In all the years I’ve been reading Perez, I’ve yet to see the man apologize. Well, there’s a first for everything, right? Here’s what Perez had to say:
“I leave this traumatic experience as a person with more compassion. Specifically, there was an instance last year when actor Jesse Metcalfe was attacked outside of a Hollywood nightclub by a fellow entertainer. I did not condone the violence, but I did make light of that situation. I regret that. Sincerely.”
Too little, too late?
