Eva Longoria: Searching For Her Chicano Roots

Our Latina representative on ABC's Desperate Housewives is sharpening her pencils porque está de regreso a la escuela! That's right, Eva Longoria Parker announced that she will be going back to school for a Masters' Degree in Chicano Studies y Ciencias Políticas. The Texas native has said that she is anxious to learn more about her roots and reconnect with the Spanish language.

Though la actriz has not yet revealed which university she'll be attending, we're sure we'll be able to find her by the crowd of paparazzi sneaking pictures por las ventanas de las aulas!

As if going back to school wasn't enough, Eva is also currently taking on her first ever Spanish-speaking role in the film 'Días De Gracia,' with director Everardo Gout en la Ciudad de México. The film, due out in 2010, is a story about kidnappings surrounding three World Cup tournaments.  Acting alongside Ms. Longoria Parker will be our other favorite Eva, actríz Ameri-Cubana, Eva Mendes.
