No buttons to pop open here! Eva Longoria avoids another wardrobe malfunction in skin-tight dress

By Daily Mail Reporter


Minimalist: Eva Longoria looked elegant in a strapless black dress at the museum opening in Los Angeles


She may have experienced a wardrobe malfunction earlier in the week when her jacket popped open on David Letterman’s chat show, but last night Eva Longoria made sure her dress fitted like a glove.

The actress wore a well-fitting black strapless LBD while attending the opening party for an LA museum that recognises Mexican-American’s contribution to Southern Californian culture.

It was a far more modest look for the 36-year-old than the micro shorts and gaping jacket that she wore on Letterman’s show while promoting her new cookbook.


But despite her elegant ensemble at the the Inaugural Gala of La Plaza De Cultura Y Artes in Los Angeles yesterday, the museum opening still sparked controversy.

As glamorous stars such as Eva paid between $1,000 and $100,000 to attend, demonstrators stood outside protesting over the treatment of human remains found during the facility’s construction.

Native American protesters gathered with drums outside the gala following a statement that accused Los Angeles County officials of allowing the desecration of a historic cemetery where hundreds of people are believe to be buried.

A secretary for the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians said tribe members had pleaded with museum and county officials to delay the opening until an agreement could be reached on the restoration of the cemetery.

Modest outfit: Eva made sure she didn't experience another wardrobe malfunction by wearing the skin-tight dress


But museum representative Manuael Valencia said in an email that the celebration went well.

He said: ‘Everyone is celebrating the opening of LA Plaza. There have been no disruptions.’

Mexican American actress Longoria was also busy with another book signing at South Coast Plaza before last night's event.

After promoting Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking With Love For Family & Friends, she wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Thank you Orange County and everyone at South Coast Plaza! Most successful book signing yet!’

Earlier in the week she was discussing her cookbook on David Letterman’s Late Show when her jacket button popped open, almost exposing her chest.

The wardrobe mishap led to over four million views on YouTube.

'It was heartbreaking': Tearful Eva Longoria opens up about her divorce from Tony Parker for the first time

By Chris Johnson


Welling up: Eva Longoria became tearful as she spoke for the first time about her divorce from Tony Parker


Eva Longoria was reduced to tears last night as she talked publicly for the first time about her failed marriage to Tony Parker.

The Desperate Housewives actress and basketball player Parker's divorce was finalised in January - bringing to an end their four year marriage.

Speaking on the Piers Morgan Tonight show the 36-year-old said she wished the sportsman nothing but the best in life.

Tears and Piers: Eva was chatting to Piers Morgan on his U.S. show on the CNN network


But she conceded it had been a humiliating experience, especially as it has been played out so publicly.

Eva and Tony split in November last year amid allegations he had been unfaithful with the now ex-wife of his teammate Brent Barry, Erin.

Longoria didn't comment specifically on these claims during her hour-long chat with Morgan.

However, she did admit: 'So many people want me to hate him and destroy him, but I don't want to. I want him to be happy. He's not a bad person.

'I do believe in forgiving and forgetting. There was a reason we were together. I just want to hold on to the good times.'

She confessed the split was 'heartbreaking' saying one of the hardest things was trying to discover her new identity after the break-up.

'I had such an identity in being Mrs Parker and when that's taken away from you it's hard.'

As Piers probed her on the matter, she became tearful and immediately started to apologise, saying: 'This is the first time I've spoken about this [publicly].'

Asked if she had any regrets, she said: 'I do not regret getting married nor do I regret getting divorced.'

Eva has since been romantically linked to the brother of Penelope Cruz, Eduardo, who she was first spotted with in December, just weeks after her split from Parker was announced.

Elsewhere during the interview, Eva revealed she was keen to continue with Desperate Housewives for 'as long as it keeps going'.

And she also talked lovingly of her family and friends and how she has been inspired by her sister Lisa, 43, who is mentally disabled.

It was her sister's condition, which Eva described as in the same spectrum as Down Syndrome, that encouraged her to set up the charity Eva's Heroes, which supports people living with the disability.

'She lives a very vivid life,' said Eva of her sibling, describing how she lives life to the full.

'She's doing well - she's 43 and when you constantly stimulate people they progress, when you stop they regress.

'Lisa thinks she's the star. We go to events together and she does autographs.'

The actress is currently studying for a masters in Chicano (Mexican studies) and political science, saying she had got to a stage in her life where she has a 'thirst' to learn more.

Whoops! Eva Longoria pops out of her jacket while promoting her cookbook on David Letterman's chat show

By Jessica Satherley


Whoops! Eva Longoria's jacket button pops open while she's chatting to David Letterman on his Late Show


Even David Letterman asked where she was going when Eva Longoria walked onto his chat show set in a barely-there tuxedo, which ended up popping open.

‘That’s only part of a tuxedo’, the talk show host joked when the star arrived in hot pants and a low-cut jacket without anything underneath.

And she left Letterman almost speechless when the 36-year-old’s jacket button popped open, almost revealing her modesty.

Embarrassed: Eva grabbed her chest and then giggled after the wardrobe malfunction


She first shrieked ‘Oh my button!’ and then quickly covered her chest before turning to Letterman and saying: ‘I’m sorry… but you didn’t see anything.’

Letterman, 63, then joked: ‘Oh lord, we’re going to lose our liquor licence.'

But Eva wasn’t in New York City just to wow viewers with her killer legs and flawless figure, she was actually promoting her new cookbook.

Gasp! At least Eva saw the funny side of the incident as she was promoting her cookbook Eva's Kitchen: Cooking With Love For Family & Friends


The Desperate Housewives actress was talking about her book, titled Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking With Love For Family & Friends.

‘I could fillet a fish before I was seven,’ she boasted as she chatted to Letterman about her favourite dishes and culinary skills.

‘Yes, I cook. Half [of the recipes] are from my family, I grew up eating Mexican food and then American food, so there’s a mixture in the book.’

When asked what she loves to cook the most, she said: ‘Tortilla soup and I make really good guacamole.

‘You have to have good avocados [to make guacamole] and I put in onion, cilantro, and lemon and salt – but don’t add garlic or mayonnaise!’

After playing Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives for the past seven years, Longoria also revealed that they are planning at least another two years on the show.

‘We’ve almost finished negotiating so we’ll be coming back with season eight and nine hopefully soon’, she said.

After filming her slot on the Late Show, the star wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Watch me tonight on Letterman at 11:35pm/10:30pm c! I am so excited.’

Eva Longoria maybe newly divorced but she is showing off her domestic goddess skills in her new cookbook.

The Desperate Housewives star looked delicious in pink as she arrived for an appearance on The Early Show this morning in New York.

The 36-year-old wore a capped sleeve shift dress that showed off her slender legs.

Eva made the visit to the breakfast show to promote her new book Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family & Friends.

Eager to promote her book, friends of Eva have been tweeting about the book.

Her friend Victoria Beckham sent a Twitpic of Eva today and wrote: 'I can't cook, but my friend can! Now even I can learn xvb'.

Kim Kardashian went one step further and tweeted a picture of her holding Eva's book.

Later in the day she changed outfits and went for another simple ensemble of a black fitted mini dress and purple peep-toe shoes.

She arrived for another television appearance - this time at the Late Show with Letterman.

But it appears Eva's food enterprise is not going as well as she hoped and matters have reached boiling point.

Records filed last week show that Eva's restaurant Beso LL lost about $137,000 in February since filing for bankruptcy on January 6.

A hearing has been set this month to try to resolve matters.

Another issue that Eva has apparently resolved recently is the laser removal of her tattoo that commemorated her wedding to ex-husband Tony Parker.

The roman numerals tattoo showing the date 07/07/07 appears to have been taken off of her wrist going by recent pictures of her hand.


Kitchen delightful: Eva looked stunning during her promotional blitz in the Big Apple


Her new boyfriend Eduardo Cruz, 25, who Eva has been dating since January has shown his love for his girlfriend with a new tattoo. He's had 'Eva' enscribed on his arm alongside the tattoo of a ship.

The couple appear to be smitten, and spent her birthday last month together at Disneyland, where they kissed and cuddled as they waited to go on the rides.

Longoria and her ex-husband Parker split suddenly in November amid allegations that San Antonio Spurs stars Parker had cheated on her with his team mate's wife. They divorced earlier this year.
