What really happened to the Desperate Housewives: From an explosive photoshoot row to 'racism' claims and the 'difficult' star left dating her cat... ANTONIA HOYLE reveals fallout after the show - and who wants a reunion
Affairs, murders, a faked pregnancy and a freak tornado that left Gabrielle's husband impaled on a flying fence post. For eight seasons, from 2004 to 2012, who wasn't glued to their TV screen watching the ever-weirder goings-on among the Desperate Housewives of Wisteria Lane? The female stars became household names. Their larger-than-life characters skewered our own aspirations and foibles, whether we liked to admit it or not, yet the show never took itself too seriously. Which is perhaps why the series, now streaming on Disney, has become an unexpected hit with Gen Z, with over two billion views of the #desperatehousewives hashtag on TikTok.

Eva Longoria, 50, goes bra-free in a nude tank top and micro shorts during a power walk in Spain
TV star Eva Longoria looked sensational in a nude crop top and micro shorts as she went out in Spain on Monday. The 50-year-old brunette was dressed for a workout as she added a beige visor and black sunglasses with a black fanny pack around her waist. The Land Of Women star had on her chunky sneakers as she went on a power walk with a group of female friends. Their exercise session took place on the scenic streets of Puerto Banus in Marbella, Spain, where the star has been living in recent months. The group took a break to explore the vibrant artisanal market, browsing through handmade goods, local delicacies, and boutique treasures. She is married to José Antonio Bastón and they have a son named Santiago but they were not seen on Monday. Eva has managed to stay an impressive size two even into her 50s. The Desperate Housewives actress showed off her toned form during the walk. The star, who has been seen on her CNN docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching For Spain, showed off her sculpted arms while wearing gold bracelets. The Texas native a flashed a fresh pale pink manicure. Eva had her long brown hair with flirty highlights in a high ponytail. At one of the booths, Eva looked at beaded jewelry while with her three friends. Eva has been spending time in the Mediterranean sun in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, a place she has called home for the past year. This comes after the mother-of-one shared her top three diet hacks last year. Longoria's three diet tips are intermittent fasting, clean eating, and moderation. She follows a 16:8 fasting window (eating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and focuses on protein, leafy greens, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. The Hollywood veteran's three friends were all dressed in leggings The red carpet fixture also avoids processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, particularly during the early postpartum stage. She generally eats within an eight-hour window, typically between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., according to Women's Health. Longoria prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods like lean protein (chicken, fish, eggs), leafy greens, healthy fats (avocados, olive oil), and complex carbohydrates (quinoa, brown rice). The workout enthusiast cuts out processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, especially after pregnancy, and incorporates protein into every meal and snack. She uses healthy fats like avocado in her meals and chooses complex carbs like quinoa and brown rice over refined grains. The cover girl believes in moderation and avoids restrictive diets, according to Celebwell, but generally gravitates towards healthy options. Eva emphasizes staying hydrated, says Prevention, which is a crucial part of any healthy lifestyle. Snacking includes almonds, yogurt, and fruit. Eva's travel docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain continues to perform strongly for CNN. After the success of Searching for Mexico, the Spanish edition led to yet another installment—this time taking the actress to France. 'France has long been a cornerstone of global cuisine, and I'm thrilled to be partnering with CNN for this next chapter in our culinary and cultural journey,' Longoria said in a statement, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. In May Longoria said she always thought she'd become a success in Hollywood. The versatile actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in shows such as Only Murders in the Building, and Eva has now revealed that she never doubted her own talent. Eva has managed to stay an impressive size two even into her 50s. The Desperate Housewives actress showed off her toned form while on the beach in Marbella, Spain The actress told Byrdie: 'When I look at the longevity I've had in this industry, it makes sense to me. 'Of course, I'm going to work as hard as I can at whatever I do, and it just happens to be in this industry. 'I knew I'd be successful because I was surrounded by successful women - my mother, sisters, and aunts were independent, strong, smart, and charitable. 'They were everything I wanted to be.' Eva's self-belief has helped her to navigate the pitfalls of Hollywood. She explained: 'I remember the first time I was on a billboard and somebody said to me, "Oh my god, who would have thought?" 'And I said, "Me. I thought it. I dreamt it." If you don't champion yourself, who else is going to? That unwavering belief in yourself will take you so far.' Despite this, Eva admits that her priorities have changed in recent years. Eva had her long brown hair with flirty highlights in a high ponytail The brunette beauty shared: 'When you're young, you should say yes to every opportunity, so you can decide what you want to do in life. 'Now that I'm 50, I'm prioritizing differently,' explained the close friend of ER star George Clooney. 'I'm curating my life to be very specific to what I want the next 50 years to look like. I'm spending more time with my family, working less, and doing more of what I love. 'Being financially secure helps with those decisions, but I feel I've worked hard enough to say 'no' now.' Eva has also confessed to becoming more health-conscious in recent years. The actress said: 'I don't mind ageing. I just want to age well. I'm grateful to be able to move my body and work out, hike up a mountain, and play with my son. I'm trying to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible.'

Actor Neal McDonough Breaks No-Sex-Scene Rule
Neal McDonough just broke one of his major acting rules, but the way he went about it might surprise you. There's a reason you've never seen Neal in any intimate scenes on the big and small screen. The 59-year-old actor, who also happens to be a devout Catholic, swore to only kiss the lips of his wife, and he's upheld that commitment throughout his 30+ years working in Hollywood. Neal married South African model, Ruvé Robertson, back in December 2003 after the two met in the United Kingdom while he was filming Band of Brothers. The couple celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary last year, and together they have five children — Morgan, Catherine, London, Clover, and James. 'I won't kiss any other woman because these lips are meant for one woman,' Neal said of his wife. Thankfully, Neal has been able to play some amazing roles despite the restriction, like when he landed a spot on the hit soapy drama Desperate Housewives. 'When [creator] Marc Cherry signed me, I said, 'I'm sure you know, but I won't kiss anybody,'' Neal said. 'He was like, 'But this is Desperate Housewives!' I said, 'I know.' He paused for about five seconds and said, 'All right, I'm just going to have to write better.' And we had a great time.' But not everyone in the business was willing to be so accommodating. Neal recalled getting fired from a show due to his refusal to shoot those scenes. He also felt like he was being blacklisted in the industry for a while because of it. 'I was [surprised], and it was a horrible situation for me,' Neal said of being "fired from Scoundrels" for not filming sex scenes with costar Virginia Madsen. 'After that, I couldn't get a job because everybody thought I was this religious zealot. I am very religious. I put God and family first and me second." "That's what I live by. It was hard for a few years. Then [Band of Brothers producer] Graham Yost called me and said, 'Hey, I want you to be the bad guy on Justified. I knew that was my shot back at the title.' And he's been on a roll ever since, starring in popular projects like Captain America: The First Avenger, Minority Report, Star Trek: First Contact, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Flash, and more. Well, it looks like Neal finally made an exception to his no on-screen kissing there's a twist. He revealed on TikTok that he convinced Ruvé to play the leading lady he'd smooch in his latest film The Last Rodeo, and it worked out perfectly. "Many people out there have asked me what it's like to have your first screen kiss, which I did in The Last Rodeo," Neal said on TikTok. "The reason it's so special to me, as everyone knows, I won't kiss another woman on screen, but now I get to kiss the one, the only, my best friend, and the love of my life — my wife Rose, in The Last Rodeo." He was referring to the name of Ruvé's character in the movie, Rose Wainright. "She was amazing. The film is amazing. But to have my first screen kiss and to actually play the hero, and kiss the girl in the end, is something that I've never done, but something I've always wanted to do my whole career. Now I get to do it. Comments were filled with people applauding him for staying true to his morals: The Last Rodeo is currently available to stream on select platforms.
