Michael Douglas described her as “a great actress with a fantastic body ¨C what more could a man ask for?”, while Jack Nicholson advised any man to “steer clear or lose his head.”

The Latina actress, who is planning her July wedding to her boyfriend of two years Tony Parker, admits she doesn’t mind a bit of light bondage.

She enthuses, “I’m not averse to being tied up - I like a man to take charge.

“There’s something very sexy about being submissive.”

“It’s all about clothes, confidence and being adventurous,” she says. “I’ve done a lot of dating in my life and it¡¯s only now that I’ve really got to be as confident as I am.

Expect a Desperate Housewife to be well-prepared for a wedding? Well, Eva Longoria certainly is.

Longoria, who is due to marry basketball player Tony Parker, 24, in Paris on July 7, presented an award at the event, dubbed the Oscars of sports.

Despite having to battle stormy weather in Barcelona and a cold, Longoria said she was having a great time in Spain.

Her Desperate Housewives co-star Kyle MacLachlan was also on hand to present an award. An avid golfer, he felt right at home among the athletes in attendance. “I played golf in London on the way here,” he told PEOPLE. “The weather in Barcelona hasn’t been so good for golf though.” (People.com)
