Eva Longoria's New Job: Restaurateur
Now that the WGA picket lines have been going strong almost two weeks and production on current series is stopping, stars beholden to their shows' writers might need to get into another line of work. That's why Eva Longoria is following in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake and spending her hours off the "Desperate Housewives" set to open a Mexican restaurant in L.A. called Beso.
Longoria told People magazine, "I'm a big, big cooker in my family, so this is kind of an extension of my house. I feel like everybody's going to be in my living room." Unlike most vanity projects, though, she's not going it alone; instead, she got Boston chef and "Top Chef" finale guest Todd English to collaborate with her on Beso.
Despite Wednesday's preview party, the restaurant isn't quite ready to open yet (it's missing a liquor license, for one), but when it does open maybe Eva can create a half-priced strikers' special. Tacos for everyone!
