Eva Longoria Parker Shows Her Sexy Side

Is this really Eva Longoria Parker?

Recently, depending on which tabloid you pick up, the star has either gained seven pounds (gasp!) or is pregnant. Spoiler alert: She’s neither fat nor pregnant.

As it turns out, Longoria Parker is a bit of a paradox. She runs her own production company, is a tireless charity worker and political campaigner and gets all the razor-sharp lines on ABC’s still-popular Sunday night dramedy. Yet this brunette, who once told a reporter she didn’t enjoy sex until she started masturbating, insists she’s just a sweet, old-fashioned housewife who cooks dinner, makes sure her husband’s shirts are ironed and loves to sew.

Ironically, Wisteria Lane is the set once used for the TV show Leave It to Beaver, which ran from 1957 to 1963. Could the ghost of iconic homemaker June Cleaver be haunting this Desperate Housewife?

OK, exactly how much weight have you gained?

Eva Longoria Parker: [Laughs.] I’m wearing a fat suit! It’s suffocating. [She shows me the extensive padding hidden under her clothes and pulls out huge foam chicken cutlets from her bra.]

But the tabloids all said you got fat! There are “before” and “after” pictures of you looking thin and, uh, thin.

ELP: [Laughs.] I know. Unfortunately, we live our life in public, so any weight gain or pimple is a national story. I don’t get this obsession with weight. It’s not only Hollywood; it’s our society.

But you’re pregnant, right?

ELP: I’ve been pregnant since last spring with triplets. [Laughs.] No, if I were pregnant [when the tabloids said I was], I’d have had the child many times over.

So you’re not pregnant, and you’re definitely not fat—I’m glad we cleared that up. Let’s talk about your Desperate Housewives costars. You can’t have an ensemble of women who aren’t jealous of one another. Be honest: You all hate each other offscreen.

ELP: [Laughs.] No! If this were a show about four men, it wouldn’t even be an issue, but…

People love a catfight.

ELP: Yeah. The women on the show are dear friends of mine. It’s been such a gift for me to be in their presence and learn not only from their acting abilities but from their life experiences.

And you started out this season wearing frumpy housedresses and bad hair. What’s up with that?

ELP: Gabrielle let herself go because she was overwhelmed with her kids and her blind husband, Carlos.

Don’t you think if all husbands were blind, we would all look like crap?

ELP: Exactly! Gabrielle is like, Who cares?
