‘Housewife’ confesses to steamy sex life

Eva Longoria’s private life sounds like one of the steamier episodes of “Desperate Housewives.”

The actress who plays Gabrielle Solis — a housewife who has everything, yet nothing — has admitted that she likes to get kinky.

“I have been tied up with silk scarves,” Longoria is quoted as saying by several sources, including London’s Daily Star. “There’s something very sexy about being submissive because your guard is down, you have to totally surrender to something like that.”

Longoria also said that she tutors all her boyfriends in various techniques — but says she’s the victim of their education because the guys leave her and use the techniques on someone else.

“I wish men knew how women wanted to be touched,” she reportedly said. “I’ve schooled all the boyfriends I’ve ever had, though every time I do, we end up breaking up and he goes off primed and ready to go for the next one.”

Swedish Tiger

Tiger Woods might be spending a lot more time in Sweden. The golfing sensation, who recently wed Swedish model Elin Nordegren, has bought a large apartment in Stockholm, Sweden, according to a source there.

“It’s in the most exclusive area of Stockholm — right in the heart of the city, overlooking the water,” says the source. “It’s more than 3,000 square feet — the entire floor of a building from the 1920s.”

Woods may be looking to spend more time abroad now that his wife’s family is under pressure. “Elin’s mom isn’t so popular right now,” according to the insider. “She is in charge of immigrant issues for the government. They have serious problems regarding immigration and integration lately.” 

Notes from all over

Looks like Usher is trying to out-diva his girlfriend Naomi Campbell. The rapper startled partiers when he insisted that a limo drive him 200 yards from a movie screening to a club, rather than walking the distance. What’s worse, “he kept a shocked VIP audience waiting as his entourage ordered the red carpet to be ‘cleared’ for his entrance,” according to the London Mirror, which reports that Usher “doesn’t ‘do’ pavement.”  . . . Carmen Electra feels that baring her private parts in Playboy is downright historic. “It’s a part of history,” said the “Starsky & Hutch” star, who stripped for the girlie mag three times. “When I’m older and look back at it, I’ll probably think, ‘Wow, that’s cool, being in Playboy.” . . . . Lindsay Lohan admires racecar drivers — because those suits are, like, stuffy. “I have so much respect for these NASCAR drivers because they’re walking around in these suits all day,” says Lohan — who has to don a racing suit for her role in “Herbie: Fully Loaded” — “and they’re really, really hot. I’m, like, dripping sweat.”
