Eva Longoria Shares Spring Cleaning and Fashion Picks for a Calm and Stylish Season Eva Longoria, the actress and director, has shared her curated list of spring must-haves, blending practicality with personal style. She describes herself as a “monthly spring cleaner,” emphasizing the importance of tackling tasks in small increments to avoid overwhelm. This approach aligns with her partnership with Bissell, where she endorses the PowerClean DualBrush Cordless Stick Vacuum as a tool that helps her maintain a “sense of calm” amid her busy schedule. The vacuum, priced at $260 (originally $360), is highlighted as a key part of her weekly routine, allowing her to efficiently clean spills, crumbs, and pet hair without repeating tasks. Longoria’s recommendations extend beyond cleaning. For her spring wardrobe, she prioritizes versatile, easy-to-style pieces. Her go-to white sneakers, the Løci Origin Sneakers ($120), are described as a low-key alternative to high-profile brands, offering comfort without flashy branding. She also favors Nike Vomero Plus Road Running Shoes ($180) for “15-hour days” on set, praising their support and durability. Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Running Shoes ($110) are another staple, balancing sporty functionality with everyday wear. In her fashion choices, Longoria emphasizes simplicity and practicality. The Frank & Eileen Eileen Relaxed Button-Up Shirt ($258) is her “office uniform,” adaptable to various outfits with jeans, heels, or tennies. She also relies on the Naked Cashmere Azalea Cashmere Boatneck Sweater ($195) as a “security blanket,” noting its warmth and versatility in Los Angeles’ climate. For relaxed yet stylish pants, Levi’s Cinch Baggy Jeans ($59) are a favorite, praised for their comfort and casual appeal. Accessories play a role in her spring aesthetic.#eva_longoria #bissell #lci_origin_sneakers #nike_vomero_plus #frank_eileen
Eva Longoria Refused to Be a Struggling Actor, Built Headhunting Empire from Soap Opera Dressing Room Eva Longoria’s journey from a struggling actor to a multimillionaire television star is marked by a relentless determination to avoid financial instability. Before her breakthrough role on Desperate Housewives, the actress worked as a headhunter from her soap opera dressing room, balancing acting gigs with corporate work. This dual life, which she maintained for years, became a defining aspect of her career, showcasing her strategic mindset and refusal to compromise her financial security. Longoria’s approach to her early Hollywood years was unconventional. While many actors arrived in Los Angeles with little more than a headshot and a tolerance for instant noodles, she set a clear rule: her dreams would not come at the expense of her bank account. Even before landing her first major role on The Young and the Restless, she secured a position at a temp agency as a headhunter. This decision was rooted in her belief that success in Hollywood required more than talent—it demanded resourcefulness and financial acumen. “I’m not going to be a struggling actor,” she told Fortune exclusively. “I’m going to figure this out.” This mindset led her to take on a role as a headhunter, where she negotiated salaries, screened candidates, and closed placement deals from her dressing room. Despite her growing fame, she continued this dual life, often hanging up mid-call to return to set and resuming her work as soon as possible. Her headhunting career was lucrative, often outpacing the income from her acting roles. Even after landing a steady gig on The Young and the Restless, she remained deeply involved in corporate work.#eva_longoria #desperate_housewives #lenovo #the_young_and_the_restless #angel_city_fc
Eva Longoria: Role model women meant ‘I always knew I’d be successful’ Eva Longoria, the Hollywood actress, producer, and businesswoman, has reflected on how growing up around successful women shaped her confidence in her own future. Speaking to the Press Association, she emphasized that the presence of strong female role models in her life—such as her mother and aunt—instilled in her a belief that she would achieve success, regardless of the path she chose. “I always knew I’d be successful because every woman around me was successful,” she said. While she admitted uncertainty about her specific career trajectory, she maintained a steadfast belief in her ability to succeed. Longoria’s remarks come amid her involvement in a global initiative led by tech companies Lenovo and Intel. The campaign, named Backing Every Business, aims to connect entrepreneurs through mentorship, AI-powered tools, and financial support. As part of the program, selected founders will receive guidance from Longoria, access to advanced technology, and a $10,000 grant. The initiative underscores her long-standing commitment to supporting female entrepreneurs, particularly within Latino communities, through her Eva Longoria Foundation. The actress also addressed the growing impact of artificial intelligence on the media and creative industries. She acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding AI’s role, noting that its influence could either enhance or disrupt content creation. “AI is definitely at the forefront of everybody’s mind in the media landscape,” she said. She expressed concerns about the potential for AI to replace jobs and distort information, particularly in the production of news and public discourse. “Where AI makes me nervous is in the manufacturing of news and information—not truth, but information,” she warned.#eva_longoria #lenovo #intel #press_association #backing_every_business
Lenovo and Eva Longoria Launch Global Mentorship Program to Support Small Businesses Lenovo is addressing the challenges faced by small businesses through its new global initiative, Backing Every Business, in collaboration with actress and entrepreneur Eva Longoria. At the core of the campaign is the Twining mentorship program, which connects entrepreneurs facing similar obstacles, transforming isolation into collaboration. A select group of participants will even have the opportunity to be paired directly with Longoria herself. The initiative includes a creative campaign led by Arts & Sciences director Nat Prisco, featuring a tongue-in-cheek anthem film that highlights Longoria’s multifaceted roles in entertainment, business, and philanthropy. The film uses cinematic tropes to symbolize success, depicting Longoria as she walks down a long hallway, eventually reaching a massive desk. Along the way, she interacts with totems representing her entrepreneurial achievements, delivering key messages about the program’s offerings. The video showcases Lenovo’s ThinkPad X9 laptop, emphasizing its sleek design and functionality, while also promoting grant funding and AI-powered tools provided by Lenovo and Intel. The Twining program is built on the principle that sharing challenges can halve their impact. By pairing business owners with similar struggles, Lenovo aims to foster collaboration, momentum, and a global network of support for small business founders. The initiative reflects a broader effort to bridge the gap in resources and guidance that many small enterprises face, particularly in an increasingly competitive market. The campaign’s creative team includes Zeno as the agency, with Stu Yeardsley as ECD, Josh Cunningham and Vicky Lench as senior creatives, and Monica Walsh as head of integrated communications.#eva_longoria #lenovo #twining_program #arts_sciences #thinkpad_x9
Jesse Metcalfe reveals he was fired from 'Desperate Housewives' after Season 1 Jesse Metcalfe, who played the role of John Rowland, the hunky gardener in the first season of the ABC series, disclosed on Tuesday’s episode of Amanda Hirsch’s podcast that he was let go from the show after its initial season. During the episode, Metcalfe explained that the creators of the show, including showrunner Marc Cherry, did not have a clear direction for his storyline beyond the first season. “After the first season they didn’t really know where else to take my storyline,” he said. Metcalfe’s character, John Rowland, was a teenager involved in an affair with Gabrielle Solis, portrayed by Eva Longoria. The role quickly established Metcalfe as a heartthrob and earned him three Teen Choice Award nominations in 2005. He won the breakout star category, marking a significant turning point in his career. However, Metcalfe revealed that the pressure to maintain his physique due to the show’s sexualized portrayal of his character became overwhelming. Despite being removed as a series regular, Metcalfe returned as a guest star in several later seasons. He also secured a lead role in the 2005 film “John Tucker Must Die,” which was released by 20th Century Fox. At the time, Metcalfe expressed confidence in his transition to film, stating, “I was just kind of riding the wave… I was going to be a movie star.” The show, which aired from 2004 to 2012, became a cultural phenomenon and ran for eight seasons. Metcalfe’s performance as the young gardener was instrumental in launching his career, though the role also brought scrutiny over his physical appearance. In an interview with Vice’s i-D magazine in 2021, he reflected on the challenges of maintaining his image.#eva_longoria #jesse_metcalfe #desperate_housewives #marc_cherry #20th_century_fox
Jesse Metcalfe reveals he maintains friendships with members of the "Desperate Housewives" cast despite being fired from the series Jesse Metcalfe, who portrayed John Rowland on "Desperate Housewives," expressed his continued admiration for the cast following his departure from the show. During an interview with Page Six at the Clarins Night of Extra event on March 20, Metcalfe shared that he still communicates with Eva Longoria, whom he described as a close friend. He also praised Marcia Cross, stating he “absolutely love[s]” her and recalled seeing her in a Broadway production in New York City. Metcalfe, 47, highlighted his respect for Cross, noting that she was “really touched” by his support during her career. He emphasized his longstanding admiration for her acting talent. Similarly, he expressed enthusiasm for Felicity Huffman’s recent work, calling her an “incredible talent” and noting her increased presence on television after her involvement in the 2019 college admissions scandal. Huffman, who portrayed Lynette Scavo on the series, had served a two-week prison sentence and paid a $30,000 fine for her role in the scandal, which involved paying $15,000 to boost her daughter’s SAT scores. Metcalfe explained that he was let go from "Desperate Housewives" after the first season because the writers struggled to develop his storyline. He recounted the situation on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, quoting the show’s creator, Marc Cherry, who clarified that the series was not about “Desperate House Gardeners” but rather “Desperate Housewives.” This decision led to Metcalfe’s reduction to a recurring character. Despite the exit, Metcalfe described the firing as not a major setback, as he had already booked the film “John Tucker Must Die” at the time.#eva_longoria #jesse_metcalfe #desperate_housewives #marcia_cross #felicity_huffman
