Eva Longoria

From her soapy start as a mentally unstable wife on The Young and the Restless to the sudsy prime-time series that skyrocketed her to fame, this Desperate Housewives actress knows how to play camp and glam to the hilt. Known for her sexy style and persona both on camera and off, Longoria Parker has been the face of L'Oreal Paris, graced magazine covers and was named Maxim magazine's hottest female star of 2005 and 2006. Her high-profile relationship with basketball star Tony Parker resulted in a lavish 2007 wedding in his home country of France. But her business and charitable interests quiet those who see her as simply a Latina bombshell. She opened Beso, a Latin-fusion steakhouse, in 2008 with chef Todd English, and she serves as spokesperson for PADRES, an organization aiding Latino children with cancer.  Also, in 2006---inspired by her sister Elizabeth, who was born with Down syndrome---she helped create Eva's Heroes, a foundation offering enrichment opportunities for developmentally challenged youth.
