David Beckham and Robbie Williams on Desperate Housewives

David Beckham and Robbie Williams on Desperate Housewives - PIC

If this is true, I will succumb like the rest of the world and start watching ‘Desperate Housewives.’ Hollyscoop is reporting the gay couple that moves onto Wysteria Lane next season in ‘Desperate Housewives’ will be played by David Beckham and Robbie Williams.

They are quoting Housewives creator, Marc Cherry, as saying:

quote-pic “David and Robbie are perfect to star as the new neighbors’ best friends; the gorgeous, eccentric couple flown over from Blighty (Britain).”

“We haven’t had that kind of wow for the wives since Jesse Metcalfe left and we want it to cause such a stir when they turn out to be together.

“David’s keen, but though the obvious choice was to work with Tom Cruise, we wanted someone who matches him in height and well, Britishness, so Robbie is the one. They’re both funny, game for a laugh and ridiculously macho, so it should work wonderfully… the English are pitch-perfect for sending themselves up.”

For the time being, at least I can dream this might be true.

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Are Married!

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker

Friday Eva Longoria and Tony Parker married in a civil ceremony in a Paris City Hall in accordance with French law, but the couple wanted a religious ceremony as well. Yesterday, in front of 250 friends and family, the two wed at the Church of Saint Germain l’Auxerrois across from the Louvre.

OK! will have the exclusive pics, but here’s a sketch of the wedding dress, a couture Angel Sanchez mermaid gown made of silk wool, with silk gazar metallic embroidery, a scoop back and a long train.

Wedding presents for the pair included personalized Oceanaut watches engraved with “Eve & Tony 07-07-07″, and $200 Fendi travel pillows. Eva’s bridesmaids received $395 Rafe Swarovski snakeskin clutches and female guests got a custom shade of L’Oreal Paris lipstick called Pink Romance.

Here are some pictures of the guests:

Gays Demand Isaiah Washington Return

Now, here’s a headline you weren’t expecting: GAYS WANT AXED ISAIAH BACK. Page 6 has it, though.

quote-picISAIAH Washington is getting some unexpected support in his bid to return to "Grey's Anatomy" – a petition drive spearheaded by a prominent lesbian and gay activist who insists he shouldn't have been axed for his homophobic remarks against co-star T.R. Knight.

Jasmyne Cannick, who worked with Washington on the Pan African Arts Festival, said she's infuriated ABC booted Washington from the show's upcoming fourth season for calling Knight a "faggot" during a scuffle on the set and believes it smacks of racism. So she's launched a petition – which had 1,233 signatures as of last night – to get the actor his job back.

The petition says Washington's firing "further adds to a disturbing new trend at ABC wherein Isaiah Washington Gay Petition Photo minority actors have been dismissed at an alarming rate over the past two years. Blacks, including . . . Star Jones ('The View'), Harold Perrineau ('Lost'), Alfre Woodard, Mehcad Brooks and Page Kennedy ('Desperate Housewives') have been let go . . . One must ask themselves, what is going on? . . . While we don't approve of [Washington's] use of the F-word at the Golden Globes, Washington has since apologized and gone on to perform community service by way of a public service announcement for the very organizations that have been orchestrating his dismissal. But it seems it wasn't enough."

The actor came under fire last fall after getting into an altercation with Patrick Dempsey, during which he slurred Knight. He later repeated the word at the Golden Globes. Washington later apologized, checked into rehab and met with gay leaders.

Cannick told us: "Isaiah has done more for the gay and lesbian community than T.R. Knight did in or out of the closet. He did what they asked him to do, and now they want to make sure he will never work again. At what point is enough enough?"

A rep for Washington denied the actor was behind the petition but added, "We appreciate [Cannick's] support."

Last week, Washington, 43, said he was "mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" regarding his dismissal. "I did everything that the producers and the network asked me to do," he told Entertainment Weekly.

Washington’s actions certainly don’t merit his firing from the show in and of themselves. Now, if he has become such a pariah among his castmates that they are having trouble producing the show, that’s a different issue. But you’d think they’d have known that before forcing him to undergo the humiliation of counseling for something that isn’t a disease.

Aside from the politics, Washington’s character is arguably the most interesting on the show. Frankly, I find not only Knight’s character (the wussified George) but Ellen Pompeo’s title character (Meredith Grey) much less compelling than that of Preston Burke. It’d be a shame to lose him from the cast.

Eva Longoria Latina Magazine Photo and Story

Eva Longoria is on the cover of the current LATINA magazine.

Eva Longoria Latina Magazine Cover

quote-pic
“Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria opens up about hosting the 2007 ALMA Awards and her summer wedding to NBA star/rapper Tony Parker for the June/July issue of Latina magazine.

Longoria praises her future husband Tony Parker (reportedly getting married July 7, 2007) and downplays their seven year age difference. “I don’t know if it’s because he’s French or what, but he’s actually far ahead of me in years with a lot of things – he’s so disciplined and way more intelligent about money and investments,” she says. “Then there’s things in which I’m ahead of him, but we balance each other out really nice, as it should be.” The couple is reportedly getting married in Paris at the Chateau de Chantilly, a castle just north of the city. “It will be a very traditional wedding…the Mexicans take over Paris!”

Regarding her family’s take on interracial dating issues, Longoria says, “I thought it would be an issue, because of our community, but not once has it ever come up with anyone in my family, even with my real traditional Mexican grandma…They love him for who he is.”

Could the couple be following in Brangelina’s footsteps by adopting? “We both have big hearts and the finances to do it, and we want to be able to provide an environment of love and stability to a child who otherwise wouldn’t have that,” Longoria says.

As Longoria prepares for the upcoming ALMA Awards (airing June 5th on ABC), she tells Latina magazine, “I actually didn’t want to do it at first.” But with significant creative control, Longoria was reviving the awards for a second time after a 2-year hiatus. “We had to make it reflect our community now, which is very integrated and complex. There are so many colors within our culture, and I found it really important to make the show all-inclusive from white to Hispanic to black, whatever it may be, and just celebrate our culture by showing other cultures.”

On a more serious note, the star says that education is the key to empowering more Latinas in America. “We need to increase the number of women who go to college. We still have high pregnancy rates and high percentages of high school dropouts. Everything is intertwined…it’s up to us to lay the groundwork for future generations.”

For more information, pick up the June/July issue of Latina magazine, on newsstands May 22nd, or visit Latina.com.
