You wear all black and cool boots and your hair's always a bit messy. You've been a star for three decades, but would rather hit a baseball game than a red carpet. It doesn't get more refreshing. All we can say is: Keep it up.When it comes to good causes, Eva Longoria Parker is all business. The Desperate Housewives star, 34, was just named Philanthropist of the Year by The Hollywood Reporter and she's spreading goodwill in Miami Beach Saturday for the Rally for Children With Cancer.
