DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES - LONGORIA OFFERS TROUBLED METCALFE HER SUPPORT

Troubled DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star JESSE METCALFE has won the support of his one-time TV mistress as he battles alcoholism in rehab. Actress EVA LONGORIA admits she was shocked when she discovered her TV toyboy had checked himself into a Los Angeles rehab facility for alcohol abuse earlier this week (19MAR07). But she has become the first of Metcalfe's castmates to offer her support as he struggles with his drink demons. Longoria says, "I was really surprised. I worked with Jesse for a long time and he is the most put together young actor you'll ever meet. "He wants to be responsible and do the right thing. That's a brave thing and I support him 100 per cent."
