THE GOSSIP

WHAT EVA LONGORIA SAID
Longoria has told : “I’m texting the captain. I’m texting the coach. I’m just like, ‘Great job, or sorry for the loss.’ It is like a new family for me. That’s how we started with Angel City. Before we sold, we called ourselves the ‘soccer moms’ because we would go to the games. We would be like, ‘Do we hand out oranges?’ It was Jennifer Garner, Natalie Portman and myself.”
