Did you know...?

Care of allheadlinenews.com. Found this very interesting in light of Dark Angel coming back to TV on Sci-Fi recently. I love Eva but it wouldn't have enhanced the multi-genetic character of Max's history if she'd gotten the role instead of her. Interesting, though, as I never heard this before. Hope I'm not being redundant for those that knew this already...

Eva Longoria Snubs Designers And Claims She's Not Bitter At All

July 28, 2006 7:27 a.m. EST

Svjetlana Mlinarevic - All Headline News Contributor
Hollywood, CA (BANG) - Eva Longoria loves getting revenge on fashion designers who snubbed her.

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress has revealed one top designer refused to dress her before she starred in the hit US show - but is now desperate for her to wear his clothes.

She said, "There is that one fashion designer who said, 'We're not dressing her,' because he thought I was such a nobody. When he sends clothes for free now, I send them right back."

The 31-year-old brunette admits she was frustrated after being rejected for several acting roles before getting her big break playing feisty housewife Gabrielle Solis.

She said in an interview with Playboy magazine, "I was turned down for the starring role in 'Dark Angel' - which went to Jessica Alba. And I was snubbed for the lead in 'Spanglish'. I auditioned to be one of the girls who escorted the wrestlers on 'Battle Dome' and didn't get it and I was fired from 'The Young and the Restless.' But I'm not bitter at all."

wow I can't picture Eva doing Max. I haven't seen her in that action flick with Kiefer Sutherland but I don't think she can do the tough stuff... Alba at least did some of her own stunts and actually looked the part making the moves... I don't know about Eva.. she's pretty frail-looking.

Interesting. That's something I never heard before. Now imagine if Jess got the role of Gabrielle on "Housewives".

yeah it is.

oh one can wonder.

wouldn't it be cool if Jess guest starred on Desperate Housewifes since shes
such good friends with eva?

buyt thanks for that info c-man i really did not know that at all.

Also, the girl that played Tainga was the second in line to play Max.

Also, the guy that plays Leonard in the Fantastic Four was the second in line to play Logan.

yeah i already knew that.

I remember Battle Dome. Good thing she DIDN'T get that role because I doubt she'd be where she is today if she had.

cheers

Jessica Alba's Lover · 08-03-2006, 01:23 AM

i don't even remember that show.

08-03-2006, 12:38 PM

I'd still love to see her in a Season of 24 or Lost. Maybe in the next few years. One season would get her some big TV show exposure again while not tying her down to something long term, especially given how quickly the special guest stars on those shows are killed off.

Jess had a guest appearance on "Entourage" in 2004.

she's not gonna become any kind of regular on a tv show. she dopn't need to shes doing just fine in the movies. like i said maybe a guest shot hear and then but thats about it.

08-06-2006, 01:41 PM

That's what I mean: one guest star role on a season of Lost or 24. Maybe even Eva inviting her onto Desperate Housewives'd be good, although I've never watched the show so I'm not sure if that'd be a longer commitment than a temporary character on the other shows'd be. Maybe the "young thing tempting Gabrielle's husband Carlos" role. That'd be a good catfight role, lol.

Jessica Alba's Lover · 08-06-2006, 04:59 PM

i don't think 24 is so great. yeah i said it.

She has said in several interviews that she does not want to go back to TV, she doesn't believe that studios respect their shows enough.

Who's to say that couldn't change if the right offer popped up on a show that wouldn't be committed to a long term TV show role a year or two from now. Remember, both Lost and 24 have been re-upped by CBS for several more years, that's a lot of guest star potentials. I know you live and die by only what the stars say themselves but we're going to have an incredibly boring forum if you don't want to explore any ideas or conjecture or allow any tangents to happen.

Um, I simply quoted what she said. damn you took alot from that.

Jessica Alba's Lover · 08-07-2006, 08:01 PM

why do you keep bring up lost and 24?

that type of show would take to much of her time. its not one of those shows where you do one spot. its where your atleast on there 4 or 5 times.

i don't blame her. tv now a days is shotty. you never know if your gonna get axed or not. hell look at angel the highest rated show on the wb at the time and the cancelled it.

08-08-2006, 12:56 AM

Angel was at the end of its rope IMO. I liked the show personally but eventually it had to end. Same thing with Smallville, I love it so much but I know they can't keep filming it forever. I have a funny feeling this might be the last season or next to last of that show.

I could see Jess on Desperate Houswives but not on 24 or Lost. Those shows are perfect with the cast that they both have and in 24 major players in the show get offed every other episode. Kinda like Sean Astin this season.

And JAL, I've heard you say you don't like 24 before. Thats not new. And you are missing out if you don't watch it because 24 is the best show on TV next to Lost and my favorite IASIP.

cheers

Jessica Alba's Lover · 08-08-2006, 03:08 AM

sorry but all i see him doing is terrorism.

shes better to stick to movies. with the every now and then comedy tv guest spot for one episode.
