Eva Longoria says she's 'slept with everyone on the street': does that mean no Desperate Housewives comeback?
may have been in Paris for fashion, but her words made a much louder statement than her outfit. As she greeted fans outside a luxury hotel in a beige co-ord and her signature effortless charm, Longoria reignited talk about a
Desperate Housewives
reboot
only to pour cold water on the idea herself.

The

actress looked radiant and relaxed in the French capital, waving to admirers in a cream wool pencil skirt and matching long cardigan layered over a crisp white shirt. Paired with casual white sneakers and tousled waves, Longoria exuded the polished yet approachable elegance she's known for. But behind the Parisian glow lies a reality that's less glamorous for fans still clinging to hope for a
Desperate Housewives
return.
Eva Longoria hints at dead-end for Desperate Housewives reunion
While interacting with fans during an appearance on
Watch What Happens Live
, Longoria dropped a revelation that surprised even host Andy Cohen. Responding to a question about what's keeping a reboot from happening, she placed the blame squarely on series creator
Marc Cherry

'Marc Cherry, our creator. Yeah. He feels like we've exhausted the characters,' she said, dashing the hopes of many who dreamed of revisiting the drama-filled
Wisteria Lane
. Longoria explained the intensity of the original show's production 24 episodes a season for eight seasons made it difficult to imagine where the story could go next.
"It's unlike
Sex and the City
, which was only, like, six episodes, eight episodes a year," she added, joking, "I can't sleep with any more people on that, right? Like I have slept with every single person on the street."
Could Wisteria Lane be closed forever?
Fans weren't the only ones entertained by Longoria's cheeky comments. Comedy icon Sandra Bernhard, a fellow guest, asked whether Gabrielle ever explored a same-sex storyline. 'No, I didn't... wait, did I?' Longoria laughed. Bernhard playfully pitched a 'half season' on that premise, prompting Longoria to reply, 'We got to convince Marc Cherry.'
Live Events
When Cohen asked if Longoria still receives 'healthy residual checks' from the show, she didn't miss a beat. 'I do well,' she said with a grin.
Desperate Housewives
was once the most-watched TV show globally, inspiring international remakes and even Bravo's
Real Housewives
franchise. But with the creator unwilling to revisit the material, even its biggest stars seem ready to move on albeit with a wink.

The Weeknd and Shakira will headline Global Citizen Festival supporting energy access and the Amazon
Global Citizen announced Tuesday that the pop stars behind such hits as 'Blinding Lights' and 'Hips Don't Lie' will be joined by Tyla, Ayra Starr and Mariah the Scientist at the concert on Sept. 27 read more The Weeknd and Shakira — two of the world's biggest touring artists — will headline this fall's Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park, supporting campaigns to improve energy access across Africa and defend the Amazon against deforestation. Global Citizen announced Tuesday that the pop stars behind such hits as 'Blinding Lights' and 'Hips Don't Lie' will be joined by Tyla, Ayra Starr and Mariah the Scientist at the concert on Sept. 27. Hosted by actor Hugh Jackman, the annual event highlights the anti-poverty nonprofit's selected humanitarian priorities and urges attendees to collectively tackle those issues through direct support. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The fact that these artists have immediate proximity to communities that have either recently emerged out of extreme poverty, or are emerging out of extreme poverty, gives them amazing perspective,' Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans told The Associated Press. 'And they bring that perspective into Central Park at this moment where I think the world needs a moment of unity now more than ever.' The festival's goals involve securing commitments to bring clean, reliable energy to 1 million people in Africa; mobilizing $200 million for indigenous and local entrepreneurs to protect an Italy-sized chunk of the Amazon rainforest; and raising at least $30 million to help community-based education programs improve children's literacy. Tickets to the festival are free, but fans must earn them by taking actions through the Global Citizen app. Opportunities include uploading videos calling on German and French leaders to back the Amazon protection plan and volunteering to mentor young people worldwide in career development. This year's calls to action reflect the changing nature of online advocacy campaigns. Organizers find that social media posts and email-driven appeals don't carry the same weight as they did when Global Citizen first started rallying concertgoers. Evans said user-generated content such as a self-recorded clip creates 'quality engagement' and makes it almost impossible to game the system. In The Weeknd and Shakira, Global Citizen is reuniting with previous artistic supporters at a time when they are packing stadiums. The Weeknd, who this month wrapped a four-night run of sold-out performances at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium, is donating $1 from every ticket sale to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Shakira, who recently completed seven consecutive sold-out shows in Mexico City, joined Coldplay onstage during a 2017 edition of the festival in Germany. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world,' Shakira said in a statement. 'I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.'

Acting is what I do for work; it's not my identity: Regena Cassandrra
The actress, who has now been roped in to play one of the leads in Madhur Bhandarkar's new film, The Wives, talks to us about her evolution as an actress over the years, the need for PR, being part of Mookuthi Amman 2 and why she's changed the way she spells her name. Regena Cassandrra, who made her feature film debut with the 2005 film Kanda Naal Mudhal, completes 20 years in cinema this year. Talking to us about it, she says, 'I see why people would look at it as a milestone, but I'm not very over the top when it comes to these things. Although, over the years, you may feel like you've not been so consistent with your work, but looking back, 20 years is a pretty long time. So, while I don't consider it a milestone, it makes me feel nice that I have been able to do this for as long as I have, and I still get to do work that people find commendable.' The actress, who has now been roped in to play one of the leads in Madhur Bhandarkar 's new film, The Wives, talks to us about her evolution as an actress over the years, the need for PR, being part of Mookuthi Amman 2 and why she's changed the way she spells her name. Excerpts: 'Most of my great work has been from 2018 onwards' Describing her career as quite a roller coaster ride, Regena states, 'Around 2015-16, I didn't feel like working anymore. But I sailed through it. In fact, I feel like most of my great work has been from 2018 onwards. I've understood that I shouldn't fall into any mould and restrict myself. When I was predominantly working in the Telugu industry in the early 2010s, we'd get our dialogues at 6.30am in the morning when I reached the set to do hair and makeup. Telugu was an alien language to me back then, and I can't do prompting. So, I used to by heart my dialogues, understand the emotion, and put in enough energy into learning my lines so much so that I learnt the language. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Crypto CFDs May Suit Your Portfolio IC Markets Learn More Undo It was my way of picking up the language.' 'When I thought that acting could be a career option, I didn't know what it entailed' Taking us through how she has evolved over the years, she states, 'I don't come from a film background, and neither did I have anyone around who's been in the industry. So, when I thought that acting could be a career option, I didn't know what it entailed. I thought I had to just go to shoot, act, and come back. As the years went by, I understood what PR and social media, etc., are. And I've grown, too. I was initially very against all of it. I was like, 'This can't be what gives me more opportunities than the others. My skill should be what speaks for me.' I learnt very early, but I accepted very late that I also need to get on the bandwagon and do all of it. I like my job, and I want to be given more offers where I can showcase why I like doing what I'm doing. To get those opportunities, I need to put my best foot forward. I need to be networking and have a social media team so that my social media is more aesthetic and managed well. I guess it's been a wonderful learning of a lot of things, and especially of myself.' 'My roles in Mookuthi Amman 2 and The Wives are worlds apart' Referring to Mookuthi Amman 2 as a 'crazy fantasy film', Regena shares, 'It's going to be amazing. I love my look in it. This is the first time I'm doing something like this. I like that even after being in this industry for 20 years, I can still say, 'Oh my god, I've not done this before'. After Vidaamuyarchi, I wanted to pick and choose my movies because I don't want to be typecast, and I got a call from Sundar C sir's office at that point. Now, I know I won't be typecast because I'm currently doing Mookuthi Amman 2 in Tamil and The Wives in Hindi. My roles in both these films are worlds apart, and that's also what excites me. It's been quite a juggle because I finished four days of shooting over here for Mookuthi Amman 2, and I'm off to Bombay for The Wives. Then, I'm back here in Chennai to shoot for Mookuthi Amman 2.' 'I didn't want to write an open letter that said, 'Hey, now my spelling is Regena'' The actress now spells her name differently — from Regina Cassandra to Regena Cassandrra. She admits it's "numerology" that's the basic reason. "Just like how we say Om has a vibration, I believe every word and letter has a vibration. It's not like I believed in numerology before. I probably believed in the person who was trying to help me in the form of numerology. I went to a numerologist and he gave me an understanding of what is what, and I pretty much related to it. I have no hard and fast rules. And, if something needs to be done, I don't mind doing it. I didn't want to write an open letter or share on my social media that said, 'Hey, now my spelling is Regena.' I wanted it to be organic, just like everything else in my life,' she says. 'Madhur Bhandarkar knows when to be a friend and when to be a director' Talking about her experience working with Madhur Bhandarkar, Regena says, 'It's fun working with him. He knows when to be a friend and when to be a director. He doesn't cram in three or four scenes in a day. He plans the scenes perfectly, so much so that as an actor, you don't feel tired by the end of the day.' On playing a negative character in Vidaamuyarchi Regena says, "Magizh (Thirumeni) sir is a perfectionist and is frank about what he thinks. I really like his way of working. I loved the character he wrote for me in Vidaamuyarchi. Throughout my career, I've wanted to play someone with a psychological issue, and Deepika in Vidaamuyarchi was so well written that it gave me the confidence to perform.'
