Longoria on Parker: "He's the best!"

[spurssheriff]

Desperate Housewives got all decked out for a block party Saturday night on Wisteria Lane to celebrate the ABC show's Season 2 DVD. Out Aug. 29, the "extra juicy edition" (Disney/Touchstone, $42) features the housewives and show creator Marc Cherry sharing the season's juiciest scenes. Juicy apples carried the party theme. Cherry held court on the set near an apple tree, bowls of apples were placed on tables, and apple-shaped pillows were strewn on sofas set up outside each of the housewives' homes.

Almost all the Housewives showed up: Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria and Nicollette Sheridan. Marcia Cross couldn't make it, so naturally she was among party topics.

Cherry chatted about the romance that blossoms between Cross' Bree and Kyle MacLachlan's mysterious Orson early in the third season. (It premieres Sept. 24.) It's no secret that wedding vows are exchanged, and Cherry said he asked Cross whether she would wear her real-life wedding gown for the nuptials. The actress vetoed the idea, as well as a suggestion that her TV wedding take place in the church where she wed stockbroker Tom Mahoney on June 24. "She thought about it for two seconds," Cherry said. "But then thought it would be too weird."

While Cross was basking in newlywed bliss this summer, her co-stars enjoyed their own summer escapades.

Longoria (Gabrielle) was treated to a private dinner on a Mexico beach by her boyfriend, Tony Parker of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. "At night, the wind calmed, and the moon was full. It was like a movie." For another getaway, Parker rented a private island in Tahiti for a dinner with fire dancers. "He's the best."


Sheridan (Edie) and her fianc�, Michael Bolton, took her dog, Oliver, to Mexico. "It was really all about Oliver � watching him run in the water and jump in the pool."

Huffman (Lynette) has been working, shooting the movie Georgia Rule, which got media attention when an exec complained about Lindsay Lohan's absences from the set. Huffman praised her movie daughter: "Lindsay's been fantastic to work with. I love her."

Hatcher (Susan) took daughter Emerson, 8, to Alaska. "I went kayaking by myself and encountered some cute seals and passed a moose," Hatcher said. No nose rubbing with Eskimo men? "No," she sighed. "No dates for me."
