Eva
Longoria Parker's Paparazzi Taco Decoy
4/6/08
Actress Eva Longoria Parker helped an A-list friend avoid the paparazzi
at the opening of her new Hollywood restaurant last month (Mar08) - by
offering the photographers gathered outside free tacos.
The Desperate
Housewives star was joined by celebrities including singer Sheryl Crow
at the launch of Beso - but one famous female friend would only attend if
she didn't have to contend with the paparazzi.
So Longoria Parker took out a tray of tacos to the snappers, while her
celebrity pal sneaked into the restaurant via a back door.
Longoria Parker says, "This was an evil plan. A friend of mine
wanted to go to the restaurant (opening). She said, 'I want to go, I just
don't feel the paparazzi tonight.' I'm not saying who it was.
"I said, 'You go in the back and I'll go out front and distract
them.' I was like, 'What do I do?... I'll take them tacos.' Sure enough, I
go out the front door... and she went right in the back and nobody saw
her. Then we did the same thing on the way out. I brought out the dessert
instead."
