LONGORIA GAINS WEIGHT FOR TV ROLE

EVA LONGORIA PARKER has laughed off rumours she is pregnant, insisting her recent weight gain is for her role in TV series DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.
The actress claims her new bob-style haircut and slightly fuller figure are a reflection of changes in the life of her on-screen character Gabrielle Solis, who becomes a mother-of-two in the forthcoming fifth season.
The star's representative, Liza Anderson, tells People.com, "She's a worn out mother with two kids. And even that (the weight gain) was not enough. She's also wearing butt pads and a stomach pad to play the part."
Longoria Parker, 33, has been dodging rumours she is expecting her first child after she was photographed in a bikini with an apparent baby bump while on a European vacation last week (07Jul08).
