Celebs Come Out To Support 'PADRES Contra El Cancer'

By Michael Lopez

Yes, we're a little bummed that Hispanic Heritage Month has now wound down. But with the end of one 30-day commemoration, comes 30 more days of another. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is now in full swing and several high-profile Latinos showed their support for the cause at Las Vegas' PADRES Contra El Cancer event this past weekend.

Hosted by the very charitable Eva Longoria, PADRES brought out stars like George Lopez and Edward James Olmos (just to name a few). Make It Or Break It lead Josie Loren caught the eye of quite a few fashion blogs with her sexy red dress.

Tweeting about the gala, she said,

"Boarding my flight 2 vegas 4 a special trip 2 attend the PADRES annual gala! We work tirelessly to fight childhood cancer and now we get to have some fun and raise lots of money for this wonderful cause!"

The event actually had some huge corporations behind it. Companies like Verizon and AEG contributed to the evening's festivities, which included the opportunity to play Texas Hold 'Em with some big name celebs.

But it was Eva who proved to be the true belle of the ball. She hosted an exclusive afterparty at the Tropicana's Club Nikki. The night reportedly included top Vegas DJs and free-flowing cocktails (though sadly, no burlesque transvestites).
