Eva Longoria of "Desperate Housewives" had a celebrity-laden crowd purring when she helped open a new lounge featuring the famous Pussycat Dolls at Caesars Palace hotel-casino.
Armed with a riding crop, wearing knee-high leather boots and a zebra-striped mini skirt, Longoria introduced the sexy song-and-dance group to Las Vegas with a provocative meow on Saturday night.
The Pussycat Dolls have long performed their cabaret-style shows around Los Angeles, and often feature celebrity guest performers.
The invited guests, which included Dr. Dre, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graff, Mary J. Blige, lapped it up, especially when rapper Busta Rhymes jumped on stage and performed with the dancers.
The shows, which include no nudity, have long attracted Hollywood's A-list crowd.
