Eva Longoria Locks In Dating Show And 'Devious Maids' Post Housewives

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Eva Longoria’s unfortunate attempts at love aren’t making the gorgeous actress jaded. The Desperate Housewives’ star is developing a series with NBC helping everyday women find their dating mojo after love-gone-bad, according to The New York Post’s Page Six.

The petite actress has joined forces with celebrity matchmakers Steve Ward (VH1’s Tough Love) and Amber Kelleher, who owns an elite dating company, to give “All About Love” a different angle dating wise.

“It’s a concept she created,” a source said. “It’s designed to help real women get back into the dating pool. They’ve chosen single women and single mothers—women who have been through a series of heartaches and battles in life and have all but given up on finding one true love.”

Longoria, who withstood a painful divorce from NBA player Tony Parker, a two year relationship with Penelope Cruz’s younger brother Eduardo Cruz, and most recently enjoyed a rumored date with Prison Break actor Amaury Nolasco, doesn’t have the best love life, but that isn’t keeping her from helping others and herself find love. ‘All About Love’ goes into production next month.

Though the long-running drama Desperate Housewives will be coming to an end, Eva is ensuring her plate will be full. Besides her dating show in works, the gorgeous brunette is set to co-produce an ABC pilot, “Devious Maids” with Marc Cherry according to Deadline.

Based on a Mexican television format, “Devious Maids” follows four maids with ambition and dreams beyond working for the rich and famous in Beverly Hills. This show also goes into production next month.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
