Longoria's Deep in the Heart of Texas
Filed under: Comedy, Romance, Casting, Newsstand
According to Variety, Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria is set to take her
first starring film role in Touchstone's romantic comedy, Deep in the Heart of Texas. [My head is so full of
Tony Parker/San Antonio Spurs jokes right now that I can hardly type. Give me a second.] In the film, Longoria will
play "a spoiled Beverly Hills diva who becomes a fish out of water when she is relocated to San Antonio to run the
new Latin division of her ad agency." Hmm. Eva Longoria as a spoiled diva? Why, that just might work! The film was just recently pitched to Touchstone, so it'll be awhile before it gets anywhere near production; the Desperate Housewives break in the summer of 2007 is likely the earliest it could shoot. The script is currently being written by pitchers Pamela Buchignani and Lynnette Ramirez.

So funny...how that happens...hmmm...maybe it's a coincidence. I wonder if the film will be shot in San Antonio that way Eva Longoria will be close to her beau. LOL

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. WHY NOT? SAN ANTONIO IS A GREAT CITY (I'VE BEEN THERE ON VACATION) AND I THINK EVA LONGORIA IS GREAT. PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE HER MORE CREDIT.

She maybe a diva ,but she is hot, no tattos or piercings ,no drugs. She has great body and brains and compared to that "Top Gun" guy( Tom C ), I'm tired of his antics and ego, she is refreshing and down to earth. Tom C couldn't carry her or Teri Hatcher's water. I'm personally boycotting his movies

Why is it so hard to accept a young, beautiful, and nice Latina, or Mexican American for those in the SW. Jennifer Aniston, Anjelina Jolie, even Paris Hilton get more respect if not oozing, praising articles.
Give la muchacha a break. Texas women simply stand out. Don't hate her because she has gained attention on a sexy racy show (big news on TV). As for her dating a Spur, what's the big deal? She is not the first nor the last to go with a super athlete and why should the headline not be "Lucky Spur Player dating Super Latina Star".
By the way she is from Corpus Christi, Texas birthplace of Selena and the two oldest and most honored Hispanic organizations in the country, LULAC and the American GI Forum.
As for the movie, she would be great. The idea of a Latina playing a Latina is way overdue. There are few parts for Latinas and kudos to Hollywood for developing a role for her. Who knows where this will lead. Having a beautiful talented Latina playing a maid as in "Spanglish" is too much what audiences have learned to expect.
Viva Eva and more power to her and other Latinas.

No one is embarrassed of Eva in her hometown. There are just some big haters around and they like to hate on her because they didn't do anything with their lives and she is a huge sucess. People stop hating on people and actually do something with your lives!!!! Andrew(san antonio/Corpus Christi) muah eva!

I am from Texas and I do not like her. She thinks she is hot and all of sudden thinks she is a movie star. She has a long way to go.

I love Eva, she is adorable. She is one of my two favorites on DH. Why call her a diva? How people are on a show...is not their real life. Get over the jealousy. I heard she was going to quit DH...hope they just kill off her character, because I won't like a replacement. Better yet, call me...I'd love to move to Wisteria Ln. :)

Eva is known as a total snob here in San Antonio...SHE IS SO STUCK UP!!!!! She shops here at the malls and never acknowledges fans. I predict her career will be short lived....She better "reel" Tony in quick because she will not be "all that" for much longer.

She is darling and will be perfect for the part. It is such a shame that the people who are so jealous of her have to send in the shameless e-mails. I wish her the best of luck!!

She is not as great as SHE thinks she is. Yes,she does have a nice body but a little flat chested.She is still a Soap actress and should go to acting school. Remember her first marriage?.

It sounds like some people here are a little ignorant and a little racist. Its unbelieveable that people carry hate in their hearts for no legitamate reason.

FIRST OF ALL, EVA IS NOT NOT NOT LATINA OR HISPANIC. SHE IS FROM M-E-X-I-C-O AND THAT MAKES HER MEXICAN OR CHICANO. WHAT PART OF THAT DO PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS REMEMBERING? SECONDLY, BEING A SPOILED WOMAN IS EXACTLY THE PART SHE PLAYS ON DH, SO I GUESS THIS IS TYPECASTING AT ITS BEST. LATINAS COME FROM ITALY, SPAIN AND FRANCE....WHERE THE ROMANCE LANGUAGES FLOURISH.

She's all right. There are a lot of beautiful Latina women and beautiful European/Anglo women. I don't see her having BIG talent like JLo, though.
She's not all that, to me.
Not hate; just don't think she's that great. Just all right.
