Eva Longoria Parker Dishing Up Guacamole for Charity

Eva Longoria Parker may play a desperate housewife on TV, but the actress is not afraid to put on an apron for a good cause in real life.

Longoria Parker donated a catered dinner – and some tableside service of her own – for an auction to raise money for the New York Rescue Workers Detox Project at her restaurant Beso in Hollywood on Thursday.

During the live auction, she hopped up onstage to encourage the audience, including stars such as Bradley Cooper, to bid on her donated in-home dinner for 12 courtesy of Beso. Then she decided to throw in a personal appearance, in which she'll wear an apron and make tableside guacamole. As if it needed anything more, she sweetened the deal by including two tickets to a Spurs/Lakers playoff game, and a Tony Parker jersey. The package sold for $37,500.

Tony Parker Buys French Basketball Club

Originally posted 02/04/2009 11:30AM

In these hard economic times, it's never too early to begin thinking about your retirement.

Take Tony Parker, for example, age 26.

The NBA All-Star has just bought himself a nice little retirement package: a French basketball team. In an interview aired on France's Infosport cable network, Parker announced his purchase of the second largest share of ASVEL, France's most titled professional basketball team, and he will, he says, begin serving immediately as the club's Director of Operations.

Not to mention long-range plans to return to his native country with wife Eva Longoria.

"Why not, why not ?" Parker answered, when asked if playing for the French club itself was in his plans. "When I'm 36, 37 years old, who knows how my NBA will go. Why not play one more farewell year in France afterwards? I've raised the subject with Eva, and she has nothing against living in France."
