Eva Longoria auctions lunch date

Actress Eva Longoria is auctioning herself off to raise money for charity.

The brunette beauty is inviting the winning bidder and a guest to the Los Angeles set of her hit show "Desperate Housewives" for a lunch date.

The CharityBuzz auction is expected to pull in as much as $5,000.

Proceeds from the sale will benefit Variety magazine's Variety Foundation, which focuses on philanthropic initiatives for a range of good causes.

Longoria was honored for her Eva's Heroes non-profit organization at Variety's third annual Power of Women event in September (2011).
