Fashion Police

It was beginning to look as if Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker was starting to become a wife in desperate need of attention from her hubby. 

After all, Tony Parker has missed out on some big events over the last few months, including the opening of Eva's restaurant, Beso, as well as her birthday party.

Yeah, we know, he's a big-time basketball player, so we'll cut him a little slack for being on the road. 

Fortunately for Eva, though, the Spurs' season has come to an end, and her man was able to escort her to the 2008 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City Monday night, where Victoria Beckham, Eva Mendes and Maggie Gyllenhaal were on hand to honor Marc Jacobs, Francisco Costa and Proenza Schouler, respectively.

E! News caught up with Eva and Tony at the big event, where they playfully revealed that, while this definitely is a date night for them, the date won't actually start until after the awards—at which time they'll be able to go back to the hotel room, order up room service, kick back and watch TV.

Sounds like distance makes the heart grow fonder...for a syndicated rerun of King of Queens.
