On Sunday night, August 17, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) held the annual ALMA Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, which celebrates the artistic achievements and excellence of Latinos in the entertainment industry.

The word of the night was ’sexy.’ “ Fashion critic Steve Cojocaru told Variety: “[The Alma Awards is] absolutely glamorous. The Latin stars really know how to dress up. They’re not afraid of their sexuality. And they’ve got the perfect host in Eva. That’s glamour.”

New mommy Jessica Alba looked classically stunning in her long pale pink cleavage-baring dress; in fact, I think she looked better in her one dress than host Eva Longoria did in all her eleven wardrobe changes throughout the night.

The star of the night was America Ferrera who won the ‘Chevy Entertainer of the Year’ award for her on-screen work as Betty Suarez on ‘Ugly Betty,’ as well as her off-screen efforts to encourage young people to get involved in the political process. Not only did she receive top recognition at the show, she looked fabulous doing it, wearing a Diane von Furstenberg dress, Christian Louboutin peep-toes and Fred Leighton jewelry.

Special honors were also presented to Linda Ronstadt, Shakira, and Narciso Rodriguez.

Yea, Eva Longoria definitely looks pregnant. She is seen here showing off her baby bump on the set of Desperate Housewives.

In a recent interview she confessed that she was packing on some weight as a requirement for her role as Gabrielle Solis on D.H. and she also expressed her desire to have children with husband Tony Parker.

“Longoria, who plays the usually glamorous, slim, sexpot Gabrielle Solis, has been wolfing down pizza and pasta - and it shows. Her figure - still waif-like by ordinary standards - is, by Hollywood’s rather more rigorous criteria, a little rounder than usual.
‘I’ve been cooking and eating, cooking and eating,’ admits the actress, who is married to basketball player Tony Parker. ‘I’ve eaten pretty much everything in sight.’
So, as indelicate as it seems to ask the beautiful Ms. Longoria the ‘fat or pregnant’ question, she clearly has some explaining to do. ‘I’d love to have a family,’ she begins tentatively.
‘I’ve always wanted to be married with kids. I almost had a checklist in my head: Career? Check. Marriage? Check. Kids? Check. I can’t wait!’
She refuses to say whether she is pregnant or not. ‘There’s always something people are asking you,’ she says. ‘When you’re dating someone, it’s, “When are you going to get married?”
Then you get married and it’s, “When’s the baby?” Then you have a baby and it’s, “When’s the divorce?” So I guess I should count myself lucky we’re still at the “When’s the baby?” stage.’

There’s no doubt a baby is on the way. I think that the change of plot in Desperate Housewives is supposed to fool us. But maybe the change is to help her hide her baby bump, perfect timing, it wouldn’t effect her work at all.

Desperate Housewife’s, Eva Longoria, celebrated her 33rd birthday last night at her new restaurant, Beso. Some of her famous friends were there to celebrate with her including Mario Lopez, Sheryl Crow, Eve, Ken Paves, America Ferrera, and Marcia Cross; but, Eva’s husband, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs, was not in attendance.  Eva’s official birthday isn’t until Saturday and it doesn’t look like hubby Tony will be making that day either due to his hectic basketball schedule. Eva doesn’t even seem to care. She has enough friends to have a good time and she is probably way used to Tony being gone all the time.
