Beauty and brains! Eva Longoria had a whirlwind week in Cannes and has now topped it off with a big accomplishment: graduating with a master's degree at California State University.

"Big day today!!!" the former Desperate Housewives star tweeted on Wednesday, May 22. "Very excited to graduate for my Master's degree in Chicano Studies! You're never too old or too busy to continue your education!"

Longoria's former costars and friends quickly congratulated her on the news.

Marcia Cross tweeted, "Huge congratulations on your graduation today!!!! From Canne to Cap and Gown. You are really something. Xoxo m." Bill Rancic wrote, "Congrats Eva!"

Jane Fonda, who attended Longoria's charity event at the Cannes Film Festival wrote of how inspired she is by the actress on a blogpost.

"She does these things with such ease and grace," Fonda wrote, noting that Longoria left Cannes early Wednesday morning to return to California for her graduation.

Longoria, 38, also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology from Texas A&M University.

According to California State University's website, Chicano Studies is a "field that advances a critical understanding of the Chicana/o and Latina/o experience in the United States. Courses reflect a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of Chicana/o and Latina/o histories, politics, culture, language and education."

While her exact class schedule isn't known -- Longoria seems to have been treated just like any other student in the program. In an interview at the beginning of May with E! News, Longoria said that she was hard at work on her thesis.

La Raza, La Raza, La Raza

All that nonsense started about my senior year in high school. My favorite thing was to sit there an listen while someone went on and on about “La Raza.”

When they finally stopped for air, my favorite comment was always, “you do understand that Mexican is not a race don’t you.”

Good thing she is already rich and famous because she’d never find a real job with that degree.

Unless there are "Johns" who have a fetish for getting bored to death in Spanish...

Well.

One of these two "entertainers" has good looks.

One of these two has a semblance of a brain.

And one of them has neither.

Well, I guess one of them played a big boobed, empty headed spacewoman, and in real life betrayed her country, so that has to count for something.

Hedy Lamarr (pron.: /ˈhɛdi/; 9 November 1913 – 19 January 2000) was an Austro-American actress and mathematician, celebrated for her great beauty, who was a major contract star of MGM's "Golden Age."[1]

Mathematically talented,[2] Lamarr and composer George Antheil invented an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping, necessary for wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.[3][4]

When she worked with Max Reinhardt in Berlin, he called her the "most beautiful woman in Europe" due to her "strikingly dark exotic looks," a sentiment widely shared by her audiences and critics.[5][6][7] She gained fame after starring in Gustav Machatý's Ecstasy, a film which featured closeups of her character during orgasm in one scene, as well as full frontal nude shots of her in another scene, both very unusual for the socially conservative period in which the bulk of her career took place.

Taggart: I got it! I know how we can run everyone out of Rock Ridge.
Hedley Lamarr: How?
Taggart: We’ll kill the first born male child in every household.
Hedley Lamarr: [after some consideration] Too Jewish.

Any degree with “studies” in its name basically qualifies you to work as a barista. Maybe a Chicano Studies degree leads to a lifetime working at a taqueria?

Must be tedia/ous ha/oving to consta/ontly spea/ok in sla/oshes. And why always "a" before "o?" Isn't that sexist? Shouldn't half the examples by o/a?

Chicano Studies = Hispanic Ku Klux Klan Racism

She has a degree in Aztlan and Reconquista.

I don’t blame Tony Parker for fooling around on this racist puta. Chicano Studies/La Raza is anti-black as well
