Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has said she is a big fan of US President Barack Obama, no matter what he’s been through. In an appearance on US chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, the brunette beauty discussed her recent dinner with Obama at a fundraiser, and how she feels about what he’s done over the past two-and-a-half years. She said: “It’s a special privilege to meet our commander-in-chief, I’m a big Obama supporter no matter what he’s been through – he’s been beaten up the past couple of years.” Eva said he has always been receptive to her as she’s been ‘a big advocate for Latino issues.’ Longoria added that he: “keeps getting beat up lately because there’s such an extremist movement happening, and for me, it’s very dangerous because its not the character of America.” The actress continued to say that he has been governing in a state of emergency since he took office and she believes that we haven’t really seen him get a chance to show what he can do.

The Office star Mindy Kaling says that she is so against one-night stands that even Bond actor Daniel Craig couldn’t tempt her into bed that quickly. In an interview with US magazine Bust, the 32-year-old actress and comedy writer says: “It’s impossible to charm me to sleep with you, based on one evening’s worth of conversation.” She adds: “Even if Daniel Craig himself was talking to me at the Four Seasons bar for an hour-and-a-half about playing James Bond, I wouldn’t think, ‘I just have to sleep with this man’.” Kaling, who appears on the cover of the October/November issue of the magazine, also revealed that she scoffs a McDonald’s for breakfast at least three times a week. “I like to sleep until 1 or 2pm, the same as when I was 13,” she says. “Every morning is as painful as if I’m being ripped out of a coma. I try and wake up by 8am and go for a very slow jog for 45 minutes. Then I try and eat a healthful [sic] breakfast. “But three out of seven mornings in the week I’ll get a McDonald’s.” Kaling, who plays customer service rep Kelly Kapoor in the US TV sitcom, has written 22 episodes of the comedy series and has also directed four of them.

January Jones told Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner her baby had his fingers crossed for the show at the Emmys. The show picked up the Emmy for the Best Drama Series at the recent ceremony in Los Angeles but lost out to Friday Night Lights in the writing category. Speaking in the press room after the show, Weiner said Jones, who recently gave birth to son Xander, was there in spirit. According to PopEater, he said: “She’s home with her baby, John Slattery says. Her baby had his fingers crossed, she told me that. And she said it was really weird that we were going to be here without her, and we miss her terribly. “And I had a horrible superstition that her not coming was bad for us and told her she should come anyway, but she didn’t. We miss her tonight and we’re super happy for her, all of us are. “It’s a great addition to our work family; we’re very close here.”

I Don’t Know How She Does It star Olivia Munn has revealed how she has managed to lose 16lb in two months. The 31-year-old actress shares her weight-loss secrets in the latest issue of Shape magazine. Munn tells the US fitness magazine how she first came up with her own unique diet plan a couple of years ago. “I made up a diet I called, ‘If I can’t see it, I don’t eat it’,” she says. “For example, if you buy a roast chicken at the store, it sounds healthy, right? But those brown juices in the pan are made of what? Sugar? Soy sauce? “If I don’t know for sure, it’s not going in my mouth.” And the Date Night star — who says that she loves fellow actress Halle Berry’s “strong, feminine” curves — has also invented her own exercise routine that she does with her female friends. “We make up funny dances about guys,” she says. “I came up with dance aerobic routines that we do a few times a week to a 45-minute play-list. They have funny names like, the One-Night-Stand and the Ex-Boyfriend. “We all have that ex with the stupid dance who we love to hate, right? Mine did the jumping-up-and-down-fist-pump-in-the-air-with-an-overexcited-smile-plastered-on-his-face dance.” She adds: “It’s so much more fun than the alternative workouts my friends plan. They always ask me if I want to go for a hike. And I’m like, ‘No, why would I do that when I’ve got TiVo [digital TV recorder]?’”

Jolie, Zahara, six, and Shiloh, five, went to King’s Road in Chelsea where The Tourist star splashed out on clothes in French Connection. A customer told British newspaper the Daily Mail: “She was really friendly and humble. She signed an autograph for some young girls in the shop, and wouldn’t let any of the staff help her to the car with her bags, joking that she ‘had people to do that’ for her. “She seemed happy to talk to people and sign autographs for them. I was in the store at the same time and couldn’t believe it when I saw she’d managed to spend £1,300 in such a short time. Still, she earns such a lot of money, so why not?”
