Eva Longoria, whose husband of less than three months has been suspiciously absent ever since her garish wedding, has an entire room in her home dedicated to her achievements. Not only has she collected and displayed every magazine cover she’s appeared on, something that is understandable and might be motivated more by pride than all-consuming vanity, she’s had them blown up to poster size. To compliment the Eva-themed decor she’s put out Desperate Housewives promotional pamphlets all around the room.

What’s more is that Eva is said to spend ten minutes a day just cleaning her 5 carat engagement ring:

Just call her “Me-va!” Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is so into herself, she’s dedicated an entire room in the home she shares with hubby Tony Parker to her favorite actress – Eva Longoria! “It’s like a shrine to herself,” a source tells Star. “She showcases all her accomplishments over the years in her L.A. mansion’s screening room.” The star has put up poster-sized blowups of all her magazine covers on the walls and laid out Desperate Housewives promo materials everywhere…

“You won’t see that girl leaving her house looking like a mess,” another insider confides. “She takes it ver seriously and spends 30 minutes every day figuring out what outfit to wear. She’s kind of high school that way.” Eva even “grooms” her enormous 5-carat engagement ring her 25-year-old husband gave her. “she spends 10 minutes cleaning it every day with special solutions she ordered,” says the source. “It’s an obsessive ritual.”

Some people were calling bullshit on the “Beyonce is a Diva” story that we covered yesterday, which was also in this issue of Star Magazine. Maybe they decided to work the female celebrity diva angle last week, an threw Eva Longoria in there for good measure. I bet this is true though, you know that pint-sized girl is always talking about how great she is and bragging that she’s moving on to better things in life. Well she definitely landed a rich guy and managed to do it without a prenup. If her movie career doesn’t take off she can always divorce the sucker.

Eva Longoria was recently talking about the new gay male couple that is moving into Wisteria Lane and joining the cast of Desperate Housewives. She says that Teri Hatcher’s character, Susan, fights with them, but she wants her character, Gabrielle, to be BFF with them and have them help her with hair and fashion choices:

Eva says, “I am really excited about the gay neighbours, it is about time. I am surprised we haven’t had them before. They’re my neighbours and I haven’t really interacted with them too much. I would love to see that in the script. Gabrielle should be friends with the gays.”

The 32-year-old star also revealed Bob and Lee don’t get on with Teri Hatcher’s character Susan. She added, “They have a lot with Teri Hatcher — they are like, catty with her and they don’t like her and it is so fun.”

Oh Eva, if anyone could be more of a diva than stereotypical gay characters , it’s you.
