The event’s chief head-turners were First Lady Michele Obama, resplendent in a shimmering, cobalt blue, one-strap gown by Peter Soronen; as well as Gayle King and Eva Longoria Parker decked out in orange toga-syle affairs.

Best accessories – at least to New York eyes – appeared to be New York Jets pins worn by quarterback Mark Sanchez and tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson.

By all accounts, the White House kept its promise to tighten security after Obama’s first state dinner was overshadowed by Michaele Salahi and her husband, Tareq, who somehow slipped in and got close enough to the president to shake his hand.

Asked about security, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, said with a shrug, “We came in on the west side. We didn’t come the way other people did. But I’d say things are pretty secure around here.”

About 200 guests enjoyed the four-course dinner the President and First Lady hosted for President Felipe Calderón of Mexico and his wife, Margarita Zavala.

Drawing on the immigration controversy, comic George Lopez got some laughs between courses, quipping, “I’m sitting with the president. But they didn’t tell me of which country.”

Earlier Obama and Calderon took turns whacking Arizona’s immigration law like a piñata.

“In the United States of America, no law-abiding person – be they an American citizen, a legal immigrant or a visitor or tourist from Mexico – should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like,” Obama said during a joint Rose Garden press conference.

Obama repeated that he understands the frustrations fueling the controversial border-state law, but said he cannot enact comprehensive immigration reform without Republican support.

The Desperate Housewives actress cheered on her husband’s team, the San Antonio Spurs, as they took on the LA Lakers at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

Longoria, 35, took a seat in the stands from where she gave her support to husband Tony Parker and his team – although Parker, 27, is currently out of action with a broken hand.

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Eva Longoria was spotted paying a visit to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last night (April 1).

The “Desperate Housewives” babe looked beautiful as she waved to fans and paparazzi outside ABC Studios in Los Angeles prior to her appearance.

In related news, Eva is asking her fans to help Padres Contra El Cancer win a $250,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Everything initiative.

Via Facebook, Longoria pleaded, “OK guys, I need your support in helping kids with cancer! We are competing for a grant from Pepsi for the Padres kids. Tell your friends and family to vote and share my link with everyone through your Facebook and Twitter accounts! You can also add a daily reminder to your Outlook Calendar or Phone and vote. Thank you for your support!”

Eva wore the outfit to the opening of the new Gap 1969 jeans shop in West Hollywood. And perhaps unsurprisingly, her clothes came from the chain’s upcoming collection. Also at the star-studded launch were Gap fans Sarah Michelle Gellar, Debra Messing and Kate Beckinsale.

She said: “I am a big eater, but I do watch what I eat. I love to cook and just love Mexican food. It’s my weakness and any red meat, I just love it. So I’d say Mexican food is my secret indulgence. I also love New York pizza and I just love Indian cuisine — the spicier the better.”

The 34-year-old actress, who is married to her basketball player Tony Parker, owns Mexican eatery Beso in Hollywood and has another restaurant in Las Vegas.

Eva also revealed she doesn’t do a lot of exercise to retain her sexy trim physique. She added: “It’s mostly weight training or kick boxing. I have this amazing high for adrenaline. It agrees with me. Your body is a vehicle and you have to take care of that vehicle.”

Here we show you the video created by Eva Longoria and Tony Parker. The song is Summer Lovin!

There for a swanky Lionsgate Golden Globe party, the “Desperate Housewives” beauty was all smiles as she spent time chatting with up-and-coming star Bailee Madison.

Eva Longoria & Tony Parker released a video with them singing and dancing to an old hit song. The video can be found on Tony’s website @ TP
