Even though Tony couldn't be there, Eva Longoria Parker had plenty of love from her friends last night at the launch party for her new restaurant Beso in LA. Some of Wisteria Lane's finest Desperate Housewives came out to celebrate, and Bella wants to know how you feel about Nicollette Sheridan's red lipstick. Eva was looking very smiley in her summery white dress, but she did admit that she wasn't feeling one hundred percent calm, saying,

"Everything is painted, every candle is lit, every glass has arrived. So we’re not like, 'The chairs are not in!' So far there has not been a catastrophic emergency happening. So I am very excited. I'm a little nervous too. But at least I don’t have to cook."

Even if Eva had to handle the kitchen, she's never been shy about discussing her cooking skills. Speaking of which, Yum's got the recipe for Eva's tortilla soup so you can have a little Eva in your kitchen even if you can't make it to Beso just yet.

Eva Longoria Parker was out last night with one of her costars, Lake Bell, but still no Paul Rudd (too good for his own movie?) at the LA premiere of Over Her Dead Body. Eva stopped by Ken Paves' salon in Manhattan and paired her pretty vanilla hair with an equally lackluster dress. She brought the bling earlier this week though, so I guess she wanted to play this one more low key. Eva was joined by some of her fellow Housewives, Felicity Huffman and Nicollette Sheridan, who couldn't keep her hands off fiancé Michael Bolton on the red carpet. As for Eva's hubby, he was off playing and winning a basketball game, so she had her BFF Mario Lopez and her parents for dates. Kinda sweet. I may not be running off to be first in line for Eva's new movie, but there's gotta be some people excited to see it, right?

Paris and Nicky Hilton were out on the town in LA last night (no surprises here), but lots of other stars came out of the woodwork as well. Benicio del Toro and Russell Crowe were among the A-listers who headed to Mr. Chow for a dinner hosted by filmmaker Julian Schnabel. Somehow we can't imagine that Tim Robbins and Oliver Stone had tons to talk about with Paris, but maybe former bad boy Colin still has a soft spot for socialites. Even though it was a big night out in Hollywood, it seems like everyone managed to behave themselves.

I mean, I probably don't know it by heart, either, but you don't see me standing up in front of a bazillion people looking at a cheat-sheet. Embarrassing.
