The gorgeous Eva Longoria is to return to our shores next week.
The former Desperate Housewife will be the guest of honour at a Specsavers launch on Thursday being held at a private apartment at the Hilton on Princes Wharf.

Longoria was underwhelming last time she visited New Zealand when she helped launch the Shopping Channel in 2012.
Earlier, the Spy team broke the news she was coming our way. We were herded on to a media bus and instructed not to ask about her friendship with Victoria and David Beckham and told to avoid other "rude" questions unsuitable to be asked of a star of her stature.
The subsequent media conference had her and the media rolling eyes at some of the conversational dross.
Longoria won't be the only soap star making a fleeting visit to Auckland in the coming week.
Daytime soap fans may want to hang around Britomart tomorrow to spot The Bold and the Beautiful veteran Katherine Kelly Lang, who has played Brooke Logan on the soap since 1987. Lang is promoting her range of kaftans and will tuck into Josh Emett's hors d'oeuvres from 11am at Ostro.
