Longoria loves "cute" Lily Allen

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has revealed that she is a big fan of British singer Lily Allen.

The actress admitted that she had never heard of Smile singer Lily until a friend played one of the 21-year-old's songs to her.

"I love her to death. She was on YouTube and my friend was like, 'You've got to hear this song', and it was the cutest little song and she was so cute, but nobody knows her here," Eva explained.

Longoria added that she has no plans to quit Desperate Housewives because she thinks it would be foolish to leave such a successful show.

"I definitely want to do more films but I'm never leaving Desperate Housewives," she said. "You never leave a hit show - that's just the rule."
