Eva Longoria is developing a new dating show.

The Desperate Housewives actress - who is currently single, after splitting from Eduardo Cruz earlier this month - has been working on a new series, provisionally titled All About Love, which will see single people set up by top matchmakers.Among those set to be included in the show are Amber Kelleher - who heads elite dating company Kelleher International - and Steve Ward, who appeared on VH1 show Tough Love, which saw him and mother JoAnn send women struggling to find a partner through a boot camp.

A source told The New York Post newspaper that the show - developed by Eva's UnbeliEVAble Entertainment company - goes into production next month, with network NBC ordering a full series.

Eva, 37, has had a turbulent few years in her private life, after she split from basketball player Tony Parker after three-and-a-half years of marriage in November 2010, but she recently insisted she has not given up on love: "You know what, every day I strive to be happy. So yeah, I think every day is another victory. The truth is, I should be angry, resentful and disillusioned about relationships. But I'm not."

If the thought of being compared to Size 0s has kept you from finding your own Bachelor, there may be an alternate solution.

Earlier this year, Tyra Banks announced that women 5’7” and under would finally get their chance at the America’s Next Top Model crown. Now FOX is embracing another overlooked category for its newest reality show.

Executive producer Mike Fleiss (The Bachelor) will be teaming up with the network for More to Love, a dating program “that reflects what most real single men and women look like.” The central figure, who has been described as a “Kevin James-type,” will be paired with “several confident and secure plus-size women” during the series.

This isn’t, of course, the first “romance”-related program to hit FOX. Previous entries include My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance and The Littlest Groom. No start date has yet been set for More to Love.

ABC has announced the newest Bachelor, the eleventh hunk to hand out roses. Born in Atlanta and raised in Texas, dark-haired Brad Womack is an entrepreneur – a blue-collar hunk on a show that has heretofore featured much more pedigreed studs. Thirty-four years old, Womack left Texas State University to work in oil fields around Texas, Louisiana, California, and North Dakota. He learned bartending and started to save money, with his brothers, to open his own bar at the age of twenty-eight. Today, Womack owns four bars in the Texas area. But evidently, he hasn’t been so lucky in love. Enter reality TV opportunities.
