Housewives star to race husband
Tuesday 25 May 2010
The Press Association reports that while speaking to reporters in Hollywood the actress said she would win.
"My husband will be in the rally and he's going down, I just wanted to make that public," she joked.
The Rally For Kids With Cancer will take place in July, and Gene Simmons, William Baldwin and Longoria Parker's new 'Desperate Housewives' co-star Vanessa Williams will be among the stars taking part.
"Basically anybody can enter a car and you raise money," said Longoria Parker.
"The person that raises the most money gets to draft their celebrity first. If they're smart they'll pick me. They get to spend the entire day with that celebrity and figure out clues, run all over Los Angeles trying to complete tasks and answer riddles."
She continued: "I love this event. Every time we have celebrity navigators we literally have a surplus, because every celebrity wants to participate in such a fun weekend and at the same time raise funds for kids with cancer.
"It's really, really competitive and it just ends up being a really fun day.
"Of course, I'm reigning champion of LA and Miami."

- House
Can you believe it? It's the last ever episode of House. Eight seasons of medical conundrums, acerbic wit, questionable managerial style, drug addictions, psychiatric help, ill-fated romances, plus a prison sentence to boot, resulted in Dr Gregory House becoming one of TV's most memorable characters. The role nabbed Hugh Laurie a brace of Golden Globes plus a slate of Emmy nominations, catapulting the former Blackadder star to meteoric fame. At its peak, House was watched by 81.8 million people in 66 countries. Fittingly titled 'Everybody Dies' to bookend the 2004 pilot 'Everybody Lies', this emotional final prescription sees House examine his life and personal demons as he treats a drug-addicted patient (guest star James LeGros). Plus, former stars Jennifer Morrison, Olivia Wilde and Amber Tamblyn return; as does Kal Penn, who resumes his role as Kutner, the man who took his own life in Season Five. Dr Greg, we salute you!
