Eva Longoria in double-page L'Oreal ad

IMTA alum Eva Longoria is the spokesperson for L'Oreal Paris and a brand new gorgeous ad featuring her is appearing in several magazines! Eva signed the exclusive worldwide contract with L'Oreal Paris in the spring of 2005.

Eva was honored to be selected saying,"To have L'Oreal select me as a spokesperson is a wonderful honor,” said Eva, “L'Oreal is one of the few companies that really reflect my values. Their company philosophy and their legendary phrase, ‘Because I'm Worth It,’ go hand in hand with who I am as a person. It's exciting to be a part of such a diverse group of spokespeople, from all-American Heather Locklear to African-American Beyonce, and now me, a Latina. This is it, the best, the culmination of an amazing year."

The youngest of four sisters who grew up on a ranch in Corpus Christi, Texas, Eva's talent and persistence with her acting have paid off. Eva competed at IMTA in Los Angeles in 1998. She received 38 callbacks and signed with theatrical agent who encouraged her to move to L.A. and the rest is Hollywood history! She starred on the daytime dramas as The Young and the Restless and General Hospital, and she currently stars on the ABC mega hit Desperate Housewives, where she portrays Latin sex symbol Gabrielle Solis.

Eva is the second IMTA alum to serve as spokesperson for L’Oreal Paris. Jessica Biel represented the company in commercials, print ads and on their website beginning in 2002.

Her other recent projects include Lucky McKee’s thriller The Wood, opposite Patricia Clarkson; Haven, with Bill Paxton and Orlando Bloom; and Stateside, with Val Kilmer. She has also starred in Rick, with Bill Pullman and Aaron Stanford, which debuted at the 2003 Toronto Film Festival.

Before she accomplished all of that...she was an IMTA contestant! Agnes competed at IMTA in 1995 when she was nine years old. She won Child Model of the Year and signed with a manager and an agent.

Be sure and catch Agnes' film in theaters now!

Jennifer Hudson wins again!

She deserved to win a SAG for her role in Dreamgirls. Beyonce must want to die- since she was telling everyone that she wanted to win an Oscar. Jennifer Hudson looked great at the SAGs and is poised to win the Oscar next month. Sorry Beyonce- you have to be a good singer AND a good actress to win an Oscar.

World's luckiest woman

Eric Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayheart look cute together- they also make us sick.

Oh my God Ryan Gossling is so hot!!

He and Rachel McAdams are a great couple.

Katie Holmes should of stayed with Pacey

Who knows if Joshua Jackson has a career, but he's definitely cuter than Tom Cruise- and not as mentally unstable.

Forest Whitaker's wife looks a little hungry

Much to Leo's chagrin, it looks like it is Forest Whitaker's year to win the Oscar for his role of Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland.

Chad Michael Murry couldn't get a babysitter

Here he is with his barely legal fiance, Kenzie Dalton. We have no idea why he was invited to this thing.

Is Leo tired of losing?

It looks like it's not going to be Leo's year, again.

The Ladies Arrive

Pretty ho-hum. Most of them look great.

Reese shines again in the same dress, different color

She almost pulled it off twice, but nothing can top the yellow cocktail dress she wore to the Golden Globes. This number is a little bit more drab.

Sandra Oh wow!

Great dress! She must get tired of her name used that way.

The Desperate Housewives don't look so busted here

We think that they're both great but they're usually better from afar. Teri, in particular is looking better than normal.

Pretty!

Kate Walsh looked beautiful in canary yellow, a color that Michelle Williams should never wear (in addition to mustard yellow).

Bada Bing!

Jamie Lynn Sigler/DiScala/Sigler is looking great! Who knows if she'll have a career after the Sopranos is over?

Whoa! Hot pregnant chick!

Pregnancy seems to be suiting Jaime Pressley well.

Where the hell has Helen Hunt been?

No offense, but she looks about 50.

Heather Graham is still holding up alright

She is still a bombshell, although we don't know when she's going to hit a wall.

Eva Longoria is shorter than a 4th grader

This dress is too long and boring. Not a good choice.

Yuck!

Ellen Pompeo is not cute. We don't understand her appeal at all.

Beautiful

She looks great. We love Anne Hathaway. The Devil Wears Prada, on the other hand, was only so-so.

Cute!

America Ferrara's adorable. We loved her in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It sounds like the worst chick flick, but it's a must-see.

Australian Open Men's Final: It's gonna be a battle

We are really torn about who to root for tomorrow. On the one hand, Roger Federer is probably our favorite player after Marat Safin. On the other hand, Fernando Gonzalez has been really amazing this tournament and he is f---ing hot. For the doctors, the outcome will basically be a win-win situation.

Serena kicks butt at the Australian Open

Serena Williams proved last night that she's the best thing there is in women's tennis. Williams, who was unseeded, routed #1 seed Maria Sharapova in the finals last night 6-1, 6-2. Serena dedicated the win to her sister who was murdered.

Beauty and the Beast spotted again

We actually kinda like this couple. Jessica Simpson struts her stuff in Miami, while accompanying John Mayer on his Florida tour.

Creep alert

Chad Michael Murray and fiance Kenzie Dalton are spotted at LAX. Murray is so sleazy.

Jeremy Piven continues to morph into Ari Gold

We love Ari Gold on Entourage. In fact, he's our favorite character. But Jeremy Piven should stop acting like Ari. First, Piven accuses ex-pal John Cusack of being jealous of him. Now, even more reports have surfaced detailing Piven's bizarre and Ari-like behavior.

How on earth did this woman snag Johnny Depp???

Vanessa Paradis must have a great personality.

Mary Kate's publicist says being blonde makes her look thinner

Unfortunately, that theory is easily refuted by exhibit a.

In case you were wondering...

... Joshua Jackson and Diane Krueger are still together.

We love Rachel McAdams but...

... we don't love this dress. McAdams showed up in this unflattering dress at the Paris fashion shows. Good thing she's got such a great face.

We would've loved to be in Hamburg, Germany

We'd go anywhere to see Shakira.

The love train continues

Jessica Simpson continues to tag along with John Mayer on his Florida tour. Here are the duo in Jacksonville.

Someone's trying to look very dark and brooding

When did Jared Leto become such a poseur??? This is all very disturbing. Rumors are abuzz that Leto got into yet another barfight and acted like a drunk idiot. Elijah Wood has also spoken out for the first time about his infamous encounter with the wanna-be musician.

It all started when Wood, in the January/February 2003 issue of Blender, told an interviewer, "I would never try to be like other actors and attempt to make (music) myself. I mean, have you heard 30 Seconds to Mars? ... F---ing awful, man!"

"He was basically upset at the fact that I said I didn't like his band," Wood says. "He said that initially and then walked away. I guess he thought I was laughing at him, but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, 'Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.' And that's when he came back and grabbed me. I told Jared it wasn't personal. He acted like I'd been disrespecting him or speaking about his family. Things like that don't generally happen to me. I'm very non-confrontational. The whole thing was kind of ridiculous."

Cameron and Kelly hit the links

Cameron Diaz continues her vacation with "friend" Kelly Slater in Oahu. Our opinion of this whole escapade? Diaz was very pissed off when Justin Timberlake started hooking up with Scarlett Johansson, and then Jessica Biel (with whom he also holed up with at the Sundance Film Festival.) Diaz was also very embarrassed about how she behaved at the Golden Globes Awards, during which she publicly lashed out at Biel and made a fool of herself. We all know how much Diaz likes to be portrayed in the media as care-free and independent. What better way to keep up the ruse than an impromptu (and very public) getaway with a pro surfer?

Madonna tries to dispel rumors of marital woes

Madonna and the Richies attended the London premiere of her animated film Arthur and the Invisibles. Noticeably absent was new baby, David, who was probably too young to go. Is it us or are both of Madonna's kids looking cute here?

The world's poster child for why you should never get cheap hair extensions

Sienna Miller thinks her relationship with Jude Law overshadowed her acting career

Miller told reporters at the Sundance Film Festival, "I was probably perceived for a long time as someone who was just famous for...well, for a reason, but wasn't taken seriously as an actress. People didn't want to pay attention to the fact that I actually took my work quite seriously.'' Hmmm. We actually don't think Miller is that bad of an actress. However, it doesn't help her case that nearly every movie she's been in, she's taken part in some sort of gratuitous nudity scene.

This is how Paris Hilton likes it

Sorry, that was a tad inappropriate. Paris was full of poses for the paparazzi on the Santa Monica set of her new film Hottie and Nottie. Apparently, she spent so much time posing for the photogs that some scenes had to be re-shot because she wasn't looking at the movie camera. Those acting lessons she's been taking must really be paying off.

Penelope and Salma celebrate together

We should have mentioned this on Tuesday after the Oscar nominations were announced, but Salma Hayek was so cute when she yelled out "yes" after Penelope Cruz's name was called out. They celebrated by going out to dinner. They are adorable!

Have they gotten married or are they on the outs?

Some reports are surfacing that Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have gotten married and other reports are claiming that their relationship is in trouble. Our thoughts.... we could care less. They are more boring than Jessica Alba and that guy she's dating.

Black Snake Moan premieres at Sundance

We've been talking about this movie for awhile because it sounds really nuts. The movie has Christina Ricci chained to a bed and walking around constantly in her underwear. We're women, so we don't really find the plot to be that appealing.
