Just good friends: Eva's pals, singer Sheryl Crow and Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross, showed up to wish their friend a happy birthday

A source said: "Eva's actual birthday is on Saturday, so hopefully the rest of her co-stars will make up for it then."

But there was one person missing who she would no doubt loved to have been there - her basketball star husband Tony Parker who unfortunately spent last night on the losing end of a game with the New Orleans Hornets.

The popular television star who made her name playing Gabrielle Solis on the US television show looked stunning in a strapless floral print Gucci dress, which she appeared to be having some trouble keeping in place.

However, showbiz pals Mario Lopez, rapper Eve, Ugly Betty star America Ferrera, and her favorite singer - and long-time friend - singer Sheryl Crow were among those who pitched up to wish Mrs Parker a 'Happy Birthday'.

Eva later left with a car full of flowers and presents, and had to wade through a throng of well-wishers - with a little help from her ever-present friend, hairdresser Ken Paves.
