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.

Eva Longoria Wedding Dress

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:

Edie Britt Kills Self on Desperate Housewives

Apparently, Edie Britt, Nicolle Sheridan’s character on “Desperate Housewives,” killed herself in the third season-ending cliffhanger. My wife and I don’t watch the show, but my mother-in-law loves it.

Anyway, popbytes has the recap:

quote-pici literally leapt out of my seat at the very end of desperate housewives’s season three finale - did edie britt (played by nicollette sherdian) really hang herself after carlos (sexy ricardo chavira) found out her scheme to make him love her?!?

craziness!

oh my gosh - i still totally love this show and the return of bree (oh my marcia cross) on tonight’s episode totally set the stage for season four - poor gabby (ms. eva longoria) she found out that her new hubby was only interested in securing the latino vote in his race for governor - meanhwile susan (oh teri hatcher) finally found happiness with mike (hunky james denton) - last but not least lynnette’s (the incredible felicity huffman) mom joined in on the action & her daughter’s current marital problems - portrayed by the always awesome polly bergin!

I’m so excited, I can’t stand it.

Go read the rest of his thoughts at the link. He also fills you in on “Grey’s Anatomy,” which my wife and I actually do watch, although we’re one episode behind on the TiVo.

America Ferrera W Mag Photos and Video

America Ferrera, star of the popular show (which I’ve never actually seen) “Ugly Betty” gets the cover and a photo shoot in something called “W” magazine, which I’ve never heard of.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

quote-pic America Ferrera W Magazine Cover Photo America Ferrera’s first real showbiz experience was something of a letdown. At 16, after a decade of acting in school plays and drifting off each night to Hollywood dreams, she was cast in a Disney Channel movie about a junior high school dance team with the somewhat hilarious name of Gotta Kick It Up. At first, she was thrilled. “I love to dance, so I couldn’t believe I was getting paid to just dance all day. And there were four other girls in the cast, so that was fun. And you know the way you think when you’re a teenager: Disney Channel today, Oscars tomorrow!” she says with a laugh. But a few weeks into filming, she had what she describes as “a mini nervous breakdown.” “I just felt really empty,” she says. “I had achieved my dream, and it wasn’t totally fulfilling. I still had school problems, and I still had boy problems. My life was still my life. I guess I had been waiting to be turned into a swan.”

***

Betty Suarez—the lead character in television’s Ugly Betty—is a style-challenged young Latina from Queens who lands a job as assistant to the editor in chief of a fashion magazine. The show is based on a Colombian telenovela called Yo Soy Betty, la Fea, which was a cultural phenomenon in Latin America and was adapted for markets around the world—everywhere from Israel to India—before being imported to the U.S. for the fall 2006 season. American audiences fell for the series almost immediately. Drawing roughly 14 million viewers a week, the show dominates its competitive Thursday night time slot and ranks as the most watched newcomer of the season. In January Ugly Betty won the Golden Globe for best TV comedy or musical series, and Ferrera herself—who dons a wig, fake brows and snap-on faux braces for her role—walked away with the statuette for best actress, beating out such veterans as Felicity Huffman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Two weeks later she took home a SAG award.

According to critics and those who work with Ferrera on Ugly Betty, such accolades were well deserved. “She’s one of the most charismatic people I’ve ever met,” says Salma Hayek, an executive producer of the show. “She’s also authentic. That’s a rare characteristic nowadays, and that’s why people are falling in love with her. I knew the minute that I saw her that she was a superstar.”

***

What’s most interesting about America-as-Betty is the breadth of her appeal. The character has struck a chord with a remarkably diverse collection of fans— 12-year-old girls, gay men, Latinas, the fashion crowd—all of whom seem to want to adopt her as their mascot. The day after the Globes, for example, California Congresswoman Hilda Solis took to the floor of the House to, in her words, “commend America and everyone involved in Ugly Betty for helping to break down stereotypes and provide a role model for young Latinas.” A few months later, Out magazine put the cast on its cover under a headline that read, HOW UGLY BETTY BECAME THE GAYEST, BEST SHOW ON TV. In the accompanying story, Ferrera recounted the surreal experience of attending the West Hollywood Halloween parade—a big night for L.A.’s gay community—and seeing scores of guys dressed up as Betty. “Anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider can see themselves in her and feel represented,” she says. “And who hasn’t, at some point in their life, felt like they didn’t belong?”

Some more photos from the shoot:

A behind-the-scenes video

The article and photo spread is called “Hot Betty” as a play on “Ugly Betty.” I’d say it was more like “Not All That Bad Looking Betty” or “Kinda Fugly for Hollywood But She’d Do in a Pinch Betty.”

MollyGood disagrees saying it should be “Slightly Chubby but Still Strikingly Beautiful Betty.” Usually, the gossip blogs are way too hard on really hot babes. Here, though, I think they’re grading on a curve because of the name of the show.

58th annual Emmy Nominations announced

The 56th annual Emmy Award Nominations were announced this morning. And quite a few surprises I might add! Desperate Housewives was snubbed! EVERY one of them. (well, except for the creepy Betty - but not one of the main ladies!) And I can’t say I am just a slight bit giddy with delight. The show sucks. But am very upset by the fail to mention LOST as a contender in the Drama category. (Helloooo..they won last year!) And I might have myself a little cry over the fact that Veronica Mars was outed again, and the only Entourage hottie that made the list was Jeremy Piven. *sigh*

Keira Knightley Oscar Night Style Winner

Even though I run at Hollywood-dedicated blog, I didn’t watch the Oscars. Frankly, I don’t care what movies insiders think are good. I seldom agree.

Now, if you want to talk about how the hotties looked on the red carpet, that’s a whole ‘nother matter. AP Fashion Writer Samantha Critchell has a great roundup of who wore what and who shoulda worn something different. She thiinks Keira Knightley stole the show:

Keira Knightley proved to be fashion royalty at the Academy Awards. She wore a wine-colored, one-shoulder gown by Vera Wang that hit the right balance between youthful funkiness and movie-star glamour. The 20-year-old wore her strawberry blond hair in a loose ponytail, and she had on a one-of-a-kind necklace with emeralds, rubies and diamonds from the 1960s she chose from the Bulgari archives.

Knightley looks good, to be sure:

So do Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek. But then, what else is new?

One suspects Helena Bonham Carter was trying to distract attention from her escort:
