Los Angeles police Sgt. Kara Silverstein of the department’s West Traffic Division says the actress was heading eastbound on Hollywood Boulevard at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when another driver made an unsafe left turn into a parking lot and hit Longoria Parker’s car.

Silverstein says the actress complained of pain but was not seriously hurt.

Longoria Parker plays the role of Gabrielle on the ABC show.

Tony Parker and Eva Longoria Parker

The ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress – who is married to basketball star Tony Parker – loves nothing more than to invite all her friends and family to her house to mark occasions such as Christmas and Thanksgiving.

She said: “The hustle and bustle of the holidays is my break. I actually enjoy running around doing all of the shopping, preparing the food and all of that stuff. People get so stressed around the holidays, and I’m the exact opposite. My husband does a really good job of figuring out flights for everyone.”

Though the 35-year-old beauty – who has her own chain of restaurants, Beso – loves to cook, she enjoys inviting her family to share in the catering duties.

She told Latina magazine: “I fry the turkey because I love the way it tastes and it’s easy. He’s Tony adapted to the Mexican culture rather easily because it’s all around him. Every year we have a tamaleria which involves all of the cousins, aunts, my mom and my sisters doing an assembly line to make tamales.”

Eva is often left alone in her house because of Tony’s career, but she always tries to make sure she still has people around her.

She explained: “With Tony travelling, it’s great to have friends around. I love a house filled with people and the energy that comes. I relish when people come into town and visit and share new experience

Eva Longoria Parker thinks her husband is a “big kid”

The brunette actress – who is married to professional basketball player Tony Parker – has revealed she would “love” to have children with the sports star, but thinks he would be too easy-going on their offspring as he is a “big kid”.

She said: “Tony and I would love to have a family eventually. I’m very close to my own family and I have three sisters so I’d like that for us.

“He’d be a wonderful dad. He wouldn’t be a strict father because Tony’s like a big kid, so he’d be great fun.”

Despite the ‘Desperate Housewives’ star believing her husband – who is seven years her junior – is childish, she admitted he is more mature than her.

Eva explained: “I always say Tony’s more mature than me so we kind of balance out. I don’t think of myself as a cougar, but it is an awesome title.”
