The plot of Dead Guy kicks off when an abrasive old man suddenly dies in the apartment of one of his neighbors, and his not-so-dearly departed, from neighbors to building workers, pass the body along because they don’t want to be associated with his demise.

In addition to the two-time Oscar nominee Michael Shannon and the Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, Dead Guy will also star Judy Greer (Reboot), Luis Guzman (Wednesday), Amaury Nolasco (Prison Break), Rory Culkin (Black Mirror), and Curtis Armstrong (Supernatural).

Courtney J. Camerota was in charge of directing and writing this promising dark comedy, and she can’t wait for the world to see it.

“I wrote this script years ago and to finally see it come to life is a dream come true. The opportunity to work with such an incredible cast, crew and producing team for my directorial debut has been an absolute honor,” said Camerota in a statement.

Dead Guy already wrapped up production and it will be presented to potential buyers at the American Film Market by CAA Media Finance.

Eva Longoria’s UnbeliEVAble Entertainment is teaming up with Mediawan and Elefantec Global to produce this series. She’ll also direct the first two episodes of the show, shortly after making her feature directorial debut with Flamin’ Hot at SXSW.

Longoria said she’s been a huge fan of the original series since it first premiered, and she can’t wait to bring it to an even larger audience.

“I’m so excited to partner with Mediawan and Elefantec Global to bring one of the greatest properties that gives a witty and satirical look behind the curtain of the entertainment industry for the Spanish-speaking American market,” said Longoria in a statement.

The original version of Call My Agent! (Dix pour cent) premiered on France 2 in 2015 and became an international hit after Netflix picked it up. It depicts the relationship between talent agents and French celebrities, with many famous actors making cameos. The series spawned several international spinoffs in Turkey, the UK, Italy, and beyond.

In an official statement announcing her casting, the Desperate Housewives star said it’s truly an honor to bring one of Isabel Allende’s iconic works to the screen for audiences worldwide.

“This is a story rich in themes of family, love, and magic. I am excited to show the world the beauty, creativity, and masterclass talent that our community continues to produce,” said Longoria.

Francisca Alegría, who is writing the adaptation alongside Fernanda Urrejola, echoed her statement and said she’s honored to bring “such a fundamental piece of Latin American culture” to the small screen because she believes that the novel and its female protagonists were ahead of their time.

The House of the Spirits is set in a remote South American country and it chronicles the extraordinary lives of three generations of women in the Trueba family. The iconic novel has previously been adapted into a 1993 movie starring Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Winona Ryder, and Antonio Banderas.

Flamin’ Hot Cheetos is the brainchild of Richard Montanez, who came from humble beginnings and worked as a janitor at Frito-Lay before coming up with the idea for this tasty snack. His idea eventually revitalized this company and helped him accomplish the American Dream.

Fox Searchlight will be in charge of distributing this project, with DeVon Franklin producing it under his Franklin Entertainment label. The script was panned by Lewis Colick, who previously worked on Charlie St. Cloud and October Sky.

Eva Longoria is no stranger to directing and already has a series of TV credits under her belt. She helmed episodes of several popular shows, including Jane the Virgin and Black-ish, and is set to make her feature debut with comedy 24-7.

Lucky for us, they decided to include their fans, too!

Reese Witherspoon shared a snap of herself, her husband Jim Toth, and her kids in a Christmas wish to her fans. The Big Little Lies actress also sent out extra special light and love to anyone who needs it.

Ryan Seacrest shared a snap of his niece’s first Christmas, while Eva Longoria and Mindy Kaling posted pics of their own babies.

Taylor Swift spent some time with her cat, and John Legend hung out with his favorite girls.

Sofia Vergara did the family thing, as did Jessica Simpson:

And somehow antlers made David Beckham even more attractive!

Happy holidays!

Longoria won’t limit her involvement to simply sitting in the director’s chair. She’ll also be a member of the ensemble cast, led by the Scandal actress Kerry Washington. Both stars will serve as producers through their respective banners UnbeliEVAble Entertainment and Simpson Street.

24-7 is based on a script by Sarah Rothschild. It tells the story of a group of female accountants who band together against a group of male co-workers to solve a fraud case that will save their jobs. If you think this synopsis sounds a bit familiar, it’s not a coincidence. Classic female-centric workplace comedy Nine to Five serves as main inspiration for this project.

Before taking a leap of faith with 24-7, Eva Longoria helmed numerous episodes of television shows such as Black-ish, Jane the Virgin and Telenovela. She also directed the upcoming environmental documentary Sanctuary, which highlights the future of the Arctic Ocean.

The happy news was confirmed by HOLA! USA. The outlet also shared a picture of the 43-year-old actress looking absolutely in love with her newborn. The proud parents also told HOLA! USA that they are “grateful for this beautiful blessing.”

The couple, who tied the knot in May 2016, announced that they were expecting in December 2017 with a sweet Instagram post that revealed a burgeoning baby bump.

Longoria celebrated baby Bastón with a beautiful baby shower in early May, which she shared on social media. 

Congratulations to the happy family!

The Overboard actress is in the final trimester of her first pregnancy. Over the weekend, Longoria threw a stunning baby shower that we’re sure even her yet-to-be-born son wishes he could have attended.

Those who were present included Working Girl actress, Melanie Griffith, celebrity hairstylist, Ken Paves, Jane the Virgin star, Andrea Navedo. Eva looked absolutely glowing in a white summer dress.

The first-time mom admits that she was not that clued up when it came to baby prep.

“Honestly, I didn’t register. My girlfriends registered for me,” she said. “I don’t know any of these things. My girlfriends and I, we sat in bed one night and they were like, ‘You need five of these,’ and I was like, ‘I do? What is that?’ I mean, there’s a lot of little tchotchkes that you need.”

With just a few weeks to go until Eva and husband José Antonio Baston welcome their little one, the 43-year-old recently said, “Every day it gets more and more real. I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s going to have to come out eventually, right? It’s not just like, ‘Oh, pregnancy is so great’… He’s eventually gonna be here.”

We can’t wait!

The Desperate Housewives actress is in her third trimester and is now the proud recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The 2,634th star was awarded to 43-year-old Longoria whose acting career began in 2000 and now includes several turns as producer.

Some of Eva’s dearest friends — and biggest names in Hollywood — were present at the ceremony, including musician Ricky Martin and Mom actress Anna Faris who both spoke.
Fashion designer, Victoria Beckham, was also part of the festivities, as well as Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Melanie Griffiths, TV host Mario Lopez, and Eva’s former Desperate Housewives co-star, Felicity Huffman.

A visibly moved Eva declared during her speech, “It’s just been a surreal journey. I feel like I’m still a little girl from Corpus Christi, Texas, who had a really big dream and big hair. As a woman and as a Latina, I represent a lot of communities and I want to tell all those communities that this isn’t my star, this is our star.”

You can see her next in the romantic comedy Overboard, set for release next month.

The actress previously spoke about the possibility of having children, saying that it would be a blessing.

“If it happens, it happens, if it’s meant to be it would be a blessing.” she said while speaking to Ocean Drive back in 2016.

Eva Longoria started dating Jose Bastón, who serves as the president of Televisa, the largest media company in Latin America, in 2013. After getting engaged in December 2015, the couple got married in May 2016 in Mexico.

“[Our wedding] was so magical,” said Longoria to E! News at the time. “We had so much fun as you can see from all the posts from everybody. It was the funnest wedding I had ever been to. I’m glad it was mine.”

After Desperate Housewives ended its run in 2012, Longoria went on to work on a handful of projects. She had a role in NBC’s sitcom Telenovela from 2015 to 2016. Although the sitcom started really strong, it failed to attract viewers on the long run and ended up being canceled after 11 episodes. She also made appearances on the TV shows Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Empire. Besides acting, Longoria is also known for her philanthropic work. She founded Eva’s Heroes foundation in 2006 with a goal to help disabled kids, while her other charity Eva Longoria Foundation aims to fight Latin poverty.
