Vanessa Williams Says Longoria is a Survivor
If you were ever wondering, “Desperate Housewives” co-star Eva Longoria is doing fine.
Vanessa Williams, co-star of the TV drama, told reporters that her friend and peer is doing well with the divorce, calling her a survivor.
Williams sat down with chat show, “The Talk” and revealed that Longoria will recover soon.
“We just spent the whole day shooting and you know, she’s really doing well. She thanks you for all your prayers. She’s a survivor and she’s a beautiful, talented, wonderful woman and she will find someone else when she’s ready. She’s gonna be fine, we love her.”
Williams added to the conversation that she was quite intrigued with the public’s reaction to the divorce, explaining that despite Longoria’s tremendous success, beauty, and apparent fame, she still is human and flawed.
“It’s fascinating to see how people say she’s got it all: she’s gorgeous, she’s an entrepreneur, she has her own restaurant, she can cook, she’s a mogul, and then there’s a component to her life that is normal and flawed and unhappy, you know, so the grass isn’t always greener.”
Williams herself attempts to live as normal of a life she can. Before going to the studio for the interview, she cheered on her 10-year-old daughter Sasha at a swim meet. She said Sasha claimed two first place ribbons.

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
The National Conversation set out to a great start last week with coverage by several media houses which got the Turks and Caicos Islands on a buzz to talk.
The first Official event on Program was the appearance of the Lead Coordinator, Mrs Sharlene Cartwright Robinson on the popular Talk Show, “Expressions” with its host Mr Robert Hall. Mrs Robinson used the opportunity to encourage the public to join The National Conversation and to present the Program of Events over the next three weeks. During the interview, a number of issues surrounding the economy and the rising crime were addressed. Callers were invited and the following issues were raised: the lack of fort coming information (openness) and transparency on the part of the Interim Government, unemployment, difficulty with former convicts being re-employed, need for education and dialogue on vital Bills for passage.
Mr Derek Taylor, longest serving Chief Minister followed on Friday. He was able to identify decisions made over the past year that may have compromised or eroded the revenue of these Islands and he also offered possible new ways of revenue generation for the Government. He called for a change in our attitude as a people and he also called on the British Government to look at the New Zealand’s Model on Public Sector Reform which allowed for persons who were laid off by the Government to be absorbed by the Private Sector in a pre arrangement.
The National Conversation continues in its second week with the following Program:
This morning, Monday, December 6th, 2010, Former Chief Minister Norman Saunders appeared on the Talk Show “Expressions” and with great wisdom outlined among other things, the need to involve the people of these Islands in the rebuilding efforts as we are the ones who would have to take over the reins eventually. He also identified the challenges we face as a people, the need for good and wholesome leaders and the absolute necessity for new development to help the country rebound economically.

Obama reaches deal with Republicans over tax cuts
US President Barack Obama has announced a bipartisan agreement has been reached to extend soon-to-expire Bush era tax cuts to all Americans.
Referring to the bitter wrangling over the issue, Mr Obama said he would not "let working families become collateral damage for political warfare".
Some Democrats have reportedly objected to the deal, saying it is too generous to the wealthy.
Unemployment benefits will also be renewed under the agreement.
The announcement comes two days after the US Senate rejected President Obama's preferred tax plan.
Mr Obama said there were elements of the deal that he opposed - including an extension of tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans.
But he said striking a deal with Republicans was more important than allowing the tax cuts to expire on 1 January 2011 amid a political stalemate.
He said it would be a "grave injustice to let taxes increase" for ordinary Americans.
"Make no mistake, allowing taxes to go up on all Americans would have raised taxes by $3,000 for a typical American family and that could cost our economy well over a million jobs," he said at the White House.
Other elements of the deal include a cut in Social Security taxes and tax breaks for businesses.
News of the agreement comes a week after the government reported that joblessness in the US had risen in November to 9.8%.
With the agreement on tax cuts finalised, analysts say Congress may now focus its attention on holding a debate over whether to ratify the New Start Treaty, which seeks to reduce the nuclear arsenals of both the US and Russia and allow each to inspect the other's facilities.
Wikileaks: Swiss bank freezes Julian Assange's account
The Swiss post office's bank, PostFinance, has frozen the accounts of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
The whistle-blowing website says the freeze includes a defence fund and personal assets worth 31,000 euros.
Wikileaks has published hundreds of secret US diplomatic cables, angering the US government and triggering moves by several companies including PayPal and Amazon to end their services.
Meanwhile, a warrant for Mr Assange's arrest has reached the UK authorities.
Sources have told the BBC that the European Arrest Warrant for Mr Assange arrived on Monday afternoon.
Swedish prosecutors want to question Mr Assange in connection with allegations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion, which he denies.
He is believed to be in hiding somewhere in south-east England. Once the police have located him, he would be expected to appear at a magistrate's court within 24 hours, pending extradition to Sweden, says the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner.
Mr Assange's UK lawyer, Mark Stephens, told the BBC: "We are in the process of making arrangements to meet with the police by consent in order to facilitate the taking of the question and answer that is needed."
Sweden first issued an arrest warrant for Mr Assange on 18 November but it was invalidated by a procedural error. A new warrant was issued on 2 December.
Julian Assange's lawyer, Mark Stephens, said he was making arrangements to meet with police "by consent"
The move by Switzerland's PostFinance to freeze the Wikileaks accounts is the latest setback to hit the whistle-blowing website since it began publishing the US cables last week.
Minister of Justice Angry at Police -- Detective plans to fight back.
A detective working at the Philipsburg Police station is looking at ways to redress a situation he considered to be unfit and improper.
SMN News learnt that the detective met with union representatives on Monday as well as the Chief of Police to inform them of an incident that involves the Minister of Justice Roland Duncan. According to information reaching SMN News, the Minister went to the Police station late Sunday night after a French citizen got injured and refused treatment from the local paramedics. Sources say when the Minister reached the police station he insulted the detective instead of dealing directly with the chief of police.
The Minister of Justice met on Monday for about four hours where he discussed with the police management team.
In an invited comment Chief of Police Peter de Witte said he discussed the matter with the Minister on Monday and the outcome was positive.
Efforts made to contact Minister Duncan on Monday evening proved futile as he did not answer his cellular telephone.
