Thursday night, Eva Longoria participated in a charity auction to help raise money for the New York Rescue Workers Detox Project - an organization which benefits emergency workers injured during the World Trade Center attacks.

She started off by giving away a dinner for 12 at her restaurant Beso. As if that wasn't enough, the actress offered a personal appearance... while wearing an apron. LOL! And she better get practicing in the kitchen because Eva said she would make Beso's signature table side guacamole for the winner as well.

As a result, bidding on the item soared to $37,500.

The auction winner will also get a pair of tickets
to watch the star’s husband, Tony Parker, play basketball with the San Antonio Spurs.

How wonderful!

And in other news, Eva must have a secret deal with Gustto because I get emails from them almost every week sending me pics of Eva rocking another one of their bags. And here she is AGAIN with ANOTHER Gustto bag? How many can one person own from one company??? I don't always post the information, but at my count Eva's up to about 7 or 8 at this point.
