Laurent Puons, Director of the Festival and Vice President of Monaco Mediax, excitedly wrote this morning on the festival's official facebook page: "It is our immense pleasure to announce that the festival will be this year welcoming Eva Longaria." 

The last minute announcement has stirred up great excitement for Monegasque fans of Wisteria Lane.

Eva will be representing the last series of Desperate Housewives at the Grimaldi forum and will also be attending one of the sumptuous soirées. 

During the festival all television programmes will compete to win a Nymphe d’Or award – it is guaranteed to be one of the most glamorous rendez-vous of the Principality!
