After two divorces -- once from General Hospital actor Tyler Christopher in 2004 and most recently from NBA player Tony Parker in 2011 -- Eva Longoria isn't interested in remarrying ... ever. The former Desperate Housewives star confessed to Access Hollywood Live recently, "I've been married twice. Been there, done that!" when asked if she feels pressure to wed as she gets older.

First off, it's all sorts of obnoxious to even ask her in the first place if her age makes her feel feels "pressured" to get married. Really, what kind of question is that?! Are all women incomplete or something unless they have a spouse ... or kids? Yeah, Eva doesn't necessarily seem desperate to become a mom anytime soon either.

She said:

I'm not one of those women who are like, 'I must procreate!' I think kids are a product of love. So if you find the right person and you want to have a family with that person, then that's when the time is right. But...if I'm 50 and single, I'm not going to go do it myself.

Aww. I admire that she's standing up for what she believes is right for her. Still, I'd never say never. After all, you don't know who you'll meet and how your heart could end up changing your mind when it comes to remarriage. The fact of the matter is that falling in love can make you rethink just about anything and everything you thought you were deadset on.

For all her talk, I get the impression that Eva's really a romantic at heart. I hope she finds the right guy. Whether or not that could lead her to a third walk down the aisle, who knows? But something tells me she shouldn't write off the possibility altogether. No one should.

How do you feel about writing off remarriage completely?

Daryl Hannah Reveals Autism Diagnosis That She's Tried to Hide Her Whole Life

Here's some surprising news coming out of Hollywood today: Daryl Hannah revealed she was diagnosed with autism as a child. She also had struggles with "debilitating shyness" as a result of the disorder. Kind of unexpected, right?

Known for her iconic roles in Kill Bill: Volume 1 & 2, Splash, Blade Runner, and Wall Street, she said that she's been able to stay under the radar when it comes to her diagnosis and quietly manage her symptoms. Considering no one has any kind of privacy in Hollywood anymore, the fact she has kept this a secret so long is quite a feat.

Also once making headlines for dating John Kennedy Jr., she admitted to People magazine, "I’ve never been comfortable being the center of attention." You can see the interview in Friday's issue, when she also said, "It’s always freaked me out."

At times that she'd become so shy, she'd rock back and forth constantly. As a teenager, when she started to become famous, she had to hide her autism diagnosis in her professional life and couldn't do promotional appearances or talk shows. She said it was "not because I was above it, but because I was terrified."

Wow, what a brave thing to finally admit after all these years! Especially for someone who confesses that she is petrified of the spotlight. She went on to say, "I’m a grown up now. I’ve learned a couple of things that really would’ve made my life easier if I’d known them 20 years ago .... I wasted so much time scared, self-conscious, and insecure."

It's rather inspiring that woman who enjoyed so much success in Hollywood was once diagnosed with autism and couldn't even go around promoting her own work as a result, which is such a major factor when it comes to a movie's success nowadays. The 52-year-old beauty should also serve as an example that people who are diagnosed with autism or fighting chronic shyness can go on to have amazing careers and fulfilling lives. Good for her for coming out with her autism and opening up about how she was able to overcome her symptoms while still being able to let her guard down and perform in front of a camera and crew.

Now she's enjoying life with her boyfriend of three years, a pig they rescued name Molly, and a farm she's living in near LA. She's also an environmental activist who's been arrested a couple times during protests. Regardless, she's a true inspiration for anyone with autism or battling shyness, and we wish her even more continued success in both her private and public lives.

Are you surprised to hear that Daryl Hannah was diagnosed with autism?

‘RHOM’ Wedding Madness Reveals How Ridiculous and Desperate These Women Can Get (VIDEO)

Having been on any Reality TV, let alone the Real Housewives specifically, I'm always looking at these shows with double vision. I'm seeing the action just as all the viewers do, and also looking behind the scenes at how everything is put together, which always fascinates me.

This week we go deep into wedding planning with Joanna Krupa and Adriana de Moura, lots of gorgeous Birkin bags, kittens, and puppies. And did you HEAR the gossip? Someone revealed a Housewives contract! Are they for real?

I had to laugh when Lisa Hochstein cried over a Birkin bag. I don't know anyone, ever in my life, who has done that. And I know a lot of characters.

As the bridal party casting heats up, I go into reality TV weddings versus real weddings…should you have to choose cast members as bridesmaids and if you do, are you allowed to give them ultimatums? Perhaps Joanna is secretly the Gawker Bridezilla? 

Alexia Echevarria and her son are breaking my heart – what do you do when your son’s father is an ex-convict?? In this week’s video we learn what to do, and what NOT to do when you and your child have problems surrounding your divorce.

Finally….did you see that story where the reporter supposedly got hold of a New Jersey Housewives contract?  I saw it, I read it, and I give you MY take on it.

Who is the most annoying bride -- Adriana or Joanna?

Also, tell me in the comments or on twitter what you want know about I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding as tomorrow I’ll have a brand new episode covering the first two shows!

Ian Somerhalder Reveals How He Really Feels About Not Being Cast as Christian Grey

Ever since Ian Somerhalder was left in the dust by confirmation that Charlie Hunnam is going to be the big screen incarnation of Christian Grey, the Vampire Diaries' star's fans have been livid. Feeling downright brokenhearted and disappointed, they feel like they want justice to be served. Well, they may finally be able to cool their jets now that Ian has spoken out about how he truly feels about losing the coveted role ...

Speaking to HuffPost Live, Ian clarified that while he is "unbelievably grateful for all the support and all the cheering and the love" from fans who were campaigning for him to play Christian Grey, he's got enough on his plate already.

Ian elaborated, "I'm on a TV show that shoots 10 months a year." Furthermore, he says:

It's so funny, you read these blogs: 'Ian Somerhalder angry, livid he's not Christian Grey' -- I mean, no, no, no, there's none of that.

Whew! I don't know about you, but an enraged Ian Somerhalder is not someone I'd ever want to cross paths with! Eek! No, but seriously, good for him for setting the record straight -- and handling the situation in a mature, chill, professional way. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy's a bit bummed, but he gets major points -- from fans and Hollywood insiders alike -- for taking the disappointment like a man!

What's more, he's reminding fans they can see him as much as they want thanks to his existing gig with the CW! Plus, if rumors are true that he could end up cast as Gideon Cross in the upcoming small screen version of Sylvia Day's Crossfire novels, we'll get to see much, much more of him. Even more than if he had been cast as Christian Grey! And really, what could be better than that?

How do you feel about Ian's reaction to the post-Fifty Shades casting buzz?

Kanye West Reveals the Real Reason Why He Loves Kim Kardashian

This rumored split between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom has us seriously bummed. Thank goodness for Mr. Positivity, Kanye West! No, I'm serious. Nori's papa has been caught saying nice things again, and I love it. In a BBC interview, Kanye gushed about Kim Kardashian and their beautiful family time. This is happening: Kanye Grumpypants West is going soft right before our very eyes.

Okay, fine, he did a lot of complaining in the interview before he got to the happy stuff. He's still Kanye, after all. But let's skip ahead to the part where he starts talking about how Kim gave him "everything."

"Family time -- it's what Kim gave me. She gave me everything. She gave me a family. She gave me a support system." So sweet! Who knew Kanye had this inside of him? I did! Kanye lost his mother a few years ago, and then he lost a beloved grandfather this summer. Of course he's looking for a surrogate family. The Kardashians may be kind of crazy, but that's all the more reason why Kanye would feel at home with them.

Plus it's just exhausting being Kanye. I think he needs a warm, safe spot to land (or a big, soft bosom to bury his head into) after a gruelling day of making art and attacking the paparazzi.

Isn't it funny how it's Kim and Kanye, Kourtney and Scott who are the happy, functional couples now? And the married people, Khloe and Lamar, not to mention Kris and Bruce (if the rumors are to be believed), are the ones supposedly having relationship issues.

Ooh, but check out why it's working between Kim and Kanye: "She was in a powerful enough situation where she could love me without asking me for money, which is really hard for me to find." Poor guy, just looking for someone to love him for who he is on the inside, and not for his fame and fortune.

Do you think Kim and Kanye have what it takes to make their relationship last a long time?
