Eva Longoria-Parker is turning waitress for a night, after donating her services for a charity auction.

The actress was the host at an event in Hollywood on Thursday, held to raise money for the New York Rescue Workers Detox Project - which benefits emergency workers injured during the World Trade Center attracts.

And she stepped in to boost the bidding on a catered meal for 12 - donated by her restaurant Beso - by throwing in a personal appearance.

Longoria-Parker promised to wear an apron and make her signature "tableside guacamole" - a favorite menu item at Beso - at the lucky bidder's dinner party. As a result, bidding on the item soared to $37,500.

The auction winner will also get a pair of tickets to watch the star's husband, Tony Parker, hit the basketball court with his team the San Antonio Spurs.

The actress was joined at the charity event by co-hosts Danny Masterson, Leah Remini and guests Simon Cowell and Wilmer Valderrama.
