Stepping out in the name of charity, Eva Longoria attended the Noble Gift Gala in London on Saturday (December 8).

Ravishing in a cream-colored gown with silver accents, the 37-year-old actress is the honorary chair of the annual fundraising event.

As part of her duties, Ms. Longoria will present will.i.am with a special humanitarian award.

The Noble Gift Gala is a unique international fundraising initiative that brings together the worlds of business, celebrity, and philanthropy to raise funds and awareness to fiscally responsible foundations locally and internationally.

Here is Eva leaving the party:

As campaign co-chairs go, Eva Longoria is not exactly, you know, John Sununu. But the Desperate Housewives star is no less dedicated, utterly biased, or occasionally controversial — her re-tweet of a follower calling Mitt Romney “a racist/misogynistic twat” during the second debate caused exactly the stir you would expect in this, the Twitter election. And as President Obama’s cavalcade of celebrities goes — this weekend alone featured Bruce, Stevie Wonder, Katy Perry, Pitbull, and, uh, Dave Matthews on the trail, plus dozens more on the airwaves (Will Ferrell included) — Longoria is certainly more than a (very) pretty face. She knows what she is talking about, and she is desperate for an Obama win, and she will do anything in her considerable power (or at least follower count) to get more people talking about it (or at least voting). So we caught up with the Woman We Love by phone on Friday to talk about the candidates and the issues and the human vagina, which is an issue now, too, apparently, as issues go. Oh, and sports.

ESQUIRE.COM: You were on the trail with the president in Vegas just now. How does he seem to you? Tired? Motivated? Some combination therein?

EVA LONGORIA: No, he’s not tired at all. He looks better now than he did about a year ago. He looked energized and really feeding off the energy of this amazing crowd that’s just fired-up and ready to go. That’s the kind of mode we’re in right now is voter turnout.

ESQ: Right. I noticed I’ve been getting fewer of those e-mails from the campaign, with the vague subject lines, about donations. Was that because of Sandy, or is there a point when fundraising efforts kind of shut down and give way to the full get-out-the-vote thing?

EL: Yeah, this is a different aspect of the campaign from fundraising and voter persuasion. We’re fully engaged in voter turnout and making sure everybody shows up. You know, we don’t want a repeat of the year 2000, when 537 votes determined the national election.

ESQ: I don’t think anybody does.

EL: Yeah, a clear winner in every state would be nice.

ESQ: How do you think Latino turnout will end up? That’s obviously a key demographic for both candidates, and a complicated factor this year — especially if you consider Romney’s positions as opposed to the hard-and-fast breakdown of Bush supporters in that community from 2000.

EL: Bush had a lot more Latino supporters, not only coming from a state with such a large population, but his administration was very close to immigration reform — he got, so far, the farthest. [Laughs.] You know, immigration’s not the number-one issue for Latinos, but Romney has had a strong stance on what he would do about it, from self-deportation to calling the SB1070 law in Arizona a model for the nation.

ESQ: And he seems to have backed off —

EL: Oh, totally!

ESQ: At first he was a big advocate of the DREAM Act — and I know you are, too — then he hedges a bit, and most recently he’s just sort of re-affirming that he would also uphold the president’s executive order on young illegal immigrants. Do you see a lot of that, as this has wound down to the end here, where Romney’s backing down on certain things?

EL: On everything. I don’t know who he is. The guy who ran in the primaries is different from the guy who’s running now. And that’s dangerous, because then you don’t know where that candidate stands, or who he’s going to fight for, and how he’s gonna fight for you. Because, day-to-day, he can change that opinion. For us, it’s great that we’ve had a president who’s had a great track record for women, for Latinos, and for all Americans.

ESQ: Never before in an election have we seen this kind of politicizing of a woman’s body. Since when did vaginas become something we voted on?

EL: I know. I actually agree with you. I don’t think that’s — the number-one concern for women is the economy. Now, the economy overlaps with a lot of issues — health care, and access to birth control, because that does affect your pocketbook.

ESQ: But it just seems strange that the conversation keeps coming back to the definition of rape and things like that — as if women were some interest group or voting bloc. Of course they’re interested in the economy, because women are the biggest voting bloc there is.

EL: Yeah. I think a lot of the “war on women” — quote-unquote — has originated from these fringe candidates on the down ballot who continue to make these preposterous claims. So that’s what keeps it in the zeitgeist, because you have to address some of the things that these candidates are saying.

ESQ: God forbid we actually talk about climate change or something.

EL: I know, but you hit a really good point. Politics need to stop treating women as a special-interest group.

ESQ: Your MoveOn ad with Scarlett Johansson and Kerry Williams kind of centers on Romney’s positions on abortion and invasive procedures and these issues we’ve been talking about. Obviously the three of you are important role models for women and bring a lot of attention to anything you say, but do you think it’s ultimately that effective? Do you think voters actually listen to what celebrities tell them to do?

EL: Well I don’t do what I do as a celebrity. I do what I do as a citizen. People say, Oh, why should I listen to you? You’re an actress. But you could have the same argument of, Well, why are you listening to a dentist? We’re Americans, and what we do isn’t who we are. I know Scarlett has a very specific history with the way she grew up — and Kerry has her American journey as well. And when it came to MoveOn or anything regarding Planned Parenthood, they do this, and I do it, because we’re women and we care about women’s issues. We don’t do it because we’re celebrities.

ESQ: So how do you react when the right-wing bloggers of the world freak out over these MoveOn ads or Lena Dunham sitting in her bedroom endorsing the president? What do you think when you hear this kind of howling from the right as soon as these things go out?

EL: I don’t want to give them the platform.

ESQ: You know, we were looking for — I don’t want to call you a celebrity — higher-profile supporters from the Romney camp to speak with us as a kind of flip-side to your take, and we couldn’t really find any. I mean there’s Kid Rock, I guess, but what do you think it is about this president as opposed to even, say, Bill Clinton that draws everyone from you and Scarlett to Jay-Z and Bruce?

EL: Everybody’s engaged, sure, but everybody, I think, cares deeply about this country, whether you’re a celebrity or a dentist or a lawyer. And when I — I can only speak for myself, I can’t speak for all of Hollywood — I see in the president a president who’s progressive, who wants to move this country forward —

ESQ: So what do you think’s gonna happen? Is this an endless week we’ve got ahead here, or is Tuesday gonna be an early night?

EL: I’m hoping it’s an early night! [Laughs.] Many of the swing states are on the east coast, so I’m hoping we’ll know fairly quickly and we’ll be celebrating.

ESQ: I think we’re all hoping for a little sleep. Gotta ask you before you go: Are you doing to get into basketball a little more now that the season’s started? The Jets, I can say both metaphorically and not, are suddenly a lot less interesting….

EL: [Laughs.] I always watch basketball. I’m still a big Spurs fan.

ESQ: That’s good. It would be kind of a sell-out move for you to all of a sudden become a Lakers fan… now that they’ve got Dwight Howard and Steve Nash.

EL: No, no, no. Never.

President Obama arrived at McCarran International Airport Thursday afternoon for a campaign stop in Southern Nevada just five days before the votes are counted in Campaign 2012.

Once on the ground, the President headed to a rally at the Cheyenne Sports Complex near the College of Southern Nevada’s Cheyenne campus. There he was joined by actress Eva Longoria and others. It’s estimated about 4,500 people showed up to hear Obama speak.

“We made real progress in the past four years, but Nevada, you know our work is not done,” Obama said.

Obama returned to the campaign trail Thursday after suspending events due to the massive storm that devastated the East Coast earlier in the week. The President is on a three-state swing of battleground states.

The candidates, their wives, and the vice presidential candidates are making stops in seven swing states Thursday. Early voting in Nevada ends Friday.

And here is the video:

Eva Longoria went from being a Desperate Housewife to being someone desperate for President Obamas reelection, and we are loving every bit of it.

Despite her recent breakup from footballer Mark Sanchez, the starlet made an appearance on Saturday at the It’s On You Canvass Kickoff in South Florida to encourage Floridians to early vote for Obama in their state.

Eva looked every part the presidential campaigner in a blue blazer as she addressed the crowd and urged voters to re-elect President Obama.

The 37-year-old star showed no sign of upset over her recent split from her 25-year-old boyfriend, but who has time to sulk over relationships when there is an election to campaign for?

Check out the photos of Eva making her presidential rounds in Florida in the gallery above.

Dear Ms. Longoria: You and The VAR Guy are set to attend the same technology event next week: McAfee Focus 2012. Our resident blogger typically writes about the high-tech market, but he also focuses on human interest stories from time to time. With that thought in mind: Can we meet for coffee and discuss your work as a philanthropist? Indeed, The VAR Guy promises to stay “on topic” and he’ll avoid nonsensical, TMZ-inspired questions that make your eyes roll. In fact, here are five questions he’ll skip and five questions he’ll ask.

Five Questions He’ll Skip…

5. What’s the deal with Mark Sanchez?: Actually, The VAR Guy is a lifelong New York Jets fan. So we do have a common interest there. But The VAR Guy won’t ask.
4. What is Teri Hatcher really like?: Here again, The VAR Guy is a low-key fan who has tracked Hatcher’s career (off and on) since the old Lois & Clark TV show. But again, The VAR Guy won’t ask.
3. You Shudda Won: You were nominated for a 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Desperate Housewives. You should have won. Really. But The VAR Guy won’t dwell on that.
2. The Big Screen: Will you be returning to it soon? Frankly, that’s between you and your agent. The VAR Guy will simply be standing by for the official word instead of asking about it.
1. Anything Involving the NBA: The VAR Guy is an NFL fan. No NBA interest. Really. Honestly.

Five Questions He’ll Ask…
5. Why Here, Why Now?: What made you accept the invitation to speak at McAfee Focus 2012?
4. Philanthropy: You launched Eva’s Heroes, a charity that helps developmentally disabled children. You are the national spokesperson for PADRES Contra El Cancer. You support the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, OmniPeace, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the National Stroke Association, Project HOME and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, according to WikiPedia.
Now, the question: What was your very first philanthropic move and what sparked that move?
3. Business and Philanthropy: The VAR Guy has a lot of readers who run fast-growing businesses. For those entrepreneurs who may want to develop some philanthropic strategies, what first steps would you recommend? And what moves would you avoid?
2. Building Trusted Business Relationships: You’re famous. How do you know who you can trust in business? What are the clear signs of a true business partner vs. freeloaders?
1. What’s Next?: In business, that is.

That’s all for now. If time permits at McAfee Focus 2012, you can track The VAR Guy down through his alleged manager — Joe Panettieri, joe [dot] panettieri [at] penton [dot] com. Or course, you can always have your people contact The VAR Guy’s people. Coffee date and location to be determined.

Will be funny, right?

The Hollywood stars have shot a 30-second film, unveiled by liberal action group MoveOn.org, attacking Romney’s policies towards women.

In the clip, directed by Rob Reiner, the actresses raise issues such as abortion and rape, and urge viewers to vote for Romney’s rival, incumbent President Barack Obama.

Johansson, already an active supporter of Obama’s re-election campaign, ends the film with the chilling line, “If you think this election won’t affect you and your life, think again.”

MoveOn.org’s creative director Laura Dawn says, “MoveOn is releasing this ad to help ensure that women voters know just how backward and extreme Mitt Romney is when it comes to issues affecting women.”

The U.S. goes to the polls next month (Nov12).

Zynga, the world’s leading provider of social game services, today announced its partnership with American Express to launch the first-ever Words With Friends Celebrity Challenge. Beginning today, players can join in on the action simply by playing Words With Friends for their favorite celebrity team. The challenge features Kristen Bell, Sophia Bush, Jonah Hill, John Legend, Snoop Lion, Eva Longoria, Edward Norton and Paul Pierce all competing against one another — with help from their team — for a chance to grab a piece of a $500,000 winnings cache for their charity of choice.

Players can join a team starting today and celebrity gameplay kickoffs off on Thursday, September 27, and run through October 3. Players can play for free by downloading Words With Friends on iOS or Android, and follow the celebrity matchups at www.WordsCelebrityChallenge.com. As part of the experience, players can also donate directly to a celebrity’s charity of choice thanks to a partnership with fundraising site CrowdRise.

“We hope that everyone joins in and plays with their favorite celebrity. When it comes to charity, every word counts, and there is no easier way to donate to a good cause then by simply playing a few rounds of Words With Friends,” said Travis Boatman, senior vice president of mobile at Zynga. “We are excited to be working with our founding sponsor American Express for the Words With Friends Celebrity Challenge, and want to thank our celebrities for having fun with our players to raise awareness for their charities.”

Every word played in a game during the length of the tournament will help boost the team’s ranking. The higher the rank, the more money the team wins for charity.

Give — You can still get involved, even if you’re not a wordsmith. By making donations, fans will be able to compete for cool prizes, including autographed items, like basketballs from Paul Pierce and posters from Kristin Bell and Jonah Hill.

American Express wants to help players make every word count by giving away free Word-O-Meters. The Word-O-Meter measures the strength of your word to help you make the best possible moves. When players join a celebrity’s team and play their first word in any Words With Friends game, they immediately receive 50 free Word-O-Meters.

“We are all about making fundraising fun through competition and games at CrowdRise, so this couldn’t be a better partnership for us,” said Edward Norton, who in addition to competing in the tournament is also the founder of CrowdRise. “Zynga knows a thing or two about social gaming, and it’s awesome to see them using that knowledge to engineer impact.”

The charities each celebrity will be playing for:

Eva Longoria — The Eva Longoria Foundation: The Eva Longoria Foundation helps Latinas build better futures for themselves and their families through education and entrepreneurship. The Eva Longoria Foundation supports programs which help Latinas excel in school and attend college, and works to provide Latina entrepreneurs with career training, mentorship, capital and opportunity.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria will address at the Democratic National Convention next month, according to a release — the first celebrity to be selected to address Democratic delegates.
Longoria, a co-chair of President Barack Obama’s reelection effort, has taken on a significant fundraising role for Obama, and has worked on Hispanic and women’s outreach for the campaign.
Particularly in light of Rep. Todd Akin’s comments on rape this week, the Obama campaign has readied another push on women’s rights and women’s health, and is planning on using the convention to highlight the “War on Women.”
