DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES - LONGORIA AND CHASEZ 'JUST FRIENDS'

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES stunner EVA LONGORIA has silenced reports she is dating 'N SYNC hunk JC CHASEZ, by bringing basketball star TONY PARKER to the SCREEN ACTOR'S GUILD AWARDS.

The Latina actress, 29, has been linked to the boy band singer for several months, as well as the SAN ANTONIO SPURS player, 22, in recent weeks, with her spokesperson confirming the actress is "happily dating".

Longoria, who plays unfaithful trophy wife GABRIELLE SOLIS in the hit ABC show, spoke to REFORMA newspaper during a trip to Monterrey, Mexico last week (ends04FEB05), and set the record straight on her relationship with Chasez.

When asked about Chasez, Longoria replied, "He is only my friend."

And on the red carpet at Saturday's (05FEB05) SAGs, Longoria proudly showed off her younger companion Parker to the paparazzi.
