Why go to a club and give someone money for drinks and entertainment when you can own one and make it all for yourself? That's exactly what Eva Longoria is thinking at the moment according to OK! Magazine. The Desperate Housewife is in talks to open up her very own Las Vegas nightclub so she can have a place to call her own in Sin City.

"She’s really excited to have a place to party in Vegas with all her friends."

Eva Longoria was photographed enjoying a lunch at Toast and later shopping for art supplies at Blick in Los Angeles yesterday.  As we all know Eva cut her hair for the upcoming season of, "Desperate Houswives". Doesn't it seem we are seeing more of her ever since she did?

The nomination ceremony occurred for the 2008 ALMA Awards and Eva Longoria was front and center. What do you think about the white lace dress she decided to wear to the event?

White and lace makes me think wedding. But did Eva pull it off?

Well, the first snip at least. Tony Parker got the ball rolling for Eva Longoria since she needed to snip her hair off for Desperate Housewives.The actress tried to wear a wig for the part, but couldn't commit to doing so for an entire season.

Tony cut my hair! I had to cut my hair for the show because Gabrielle has short hair. I wore a wig in the last episode, but I didn't want to wear a wig this whole season, so I was like, 'I'm going to cut it!'"

She says her hairstylist Ken Paves forced Parker to make the first move.

"He said, 'Tony, you're going to do the first cut, so she can't be mad at me,'" she says. "Tony did the first snip. He did more and then he did more and then Kenny cleaned it up.

Eva Longoria's charachter on Desperate Housewives has let herself go. That explains the weight gain and shorter do says Eva's rep.

“She’s making herself look like that as her character has let herself go. Gabrielle has gained weight and cut her hair.She’s a worn out mother with two kids.”

Off set, Eva is putting on the pounds for the role but it's not enough. While filming the actress is wearing padding to make her look heavier.

“And even that was not enough. She’s also wearing butt pads and a stomach pad to play the part.”

Is this the best pregnancy rumor cover up EVER? Or is Eva really do this for Gabby?

Eva Mendes used to carry around a "little blade" for protection when she first started out. The actress recalls when she was "young and stupid" during her "Angelina Jolie phase". Guess she meant Angelina 5 years ago because it completely means something different these days. 

"That was my controversial stage where I’d just started acting. I went through my little Angelina Jolie phase, like I was really tough. I had just come out in Training Day and I was nude in it, so I was getting a certain kind of attention. And I did carry a little blade. My God, with obviously no intention to ever use it. I had Mace as well. But the blade sounded cooler in interviews. I was young and stupid."

UPDATE: WOOPS!!! I must have Longoria on the brain because of her new haircut! Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, isn't this the trend of the season!

Tony Parker and Eva Longoria were photographed leaving Toast and if I'm not mistaken Eva has a new hair do. I really, really like this hair cut on the petite Eva and maybe it's just me, but pairing it with the simple sundress makes it look even better. What do you guys think of it?

So many celebrities were in Italy over the weekend! Tony Parker and Eva Longoria caught some sun on a boat while visiting La Spezia. Oprah unwinded in Portofino walking the streets and taking a ride on the water. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony continued their long vacation also in Portofino, doing some shopping with Jen's sister and enjoying a lovely outdoor lunch with friends and family.

I went bowling with the kids... :)

I barely want to bring my children to the hair salon (oh wait, I don't)... forget about a DOG! But I am sure Eva Longoria's pooch gets some special treatment while her owner is getting pampered and styled. Here they both are on Robertson Blvd.

Dressed in comfy clothing and sipping on a soda with lemon, Eva Longoria has a lot to say. "I Want More Privacy"

What a shirt! I wonder if she purchased it or if the company sent it to her. Either way, it's a perfect fit. For $48, you can have your very own in either pink or blue.

Here she is with Tony Parker dining at LA's trendy and popular hot spot, Toast.
