On the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria Parker’s character will turn into an exhausted homemaker with two kids. In real life, the actress is looking forward to having her own children with husband Tony Parker.

“I can’t wait!” Longoria Parker, 33, told People Monday after a press conference announcing the 2008 Alma Awards.

Pregnancy rumors began anew after she was photographed off the coast of Italy in a bikini looking slightly fuller than normal in early July. But her rep has said the actress put on weight to play the part of Gabrielle this season.

The 2008 Alma Awards air on ABC on Sept. 12 and highlight the work of Latino actors in film and television. Longoria Parker, the host and executive producer of the show, attended Monday’s Alma announcement with actor Cristián de la Fuente.

Eva Longoria has said she is piling on the pounds to prepare for her role in next season’s Desperate Housewives.

The Sentinel star was seen in a flashforward in last season’s finale looking much larger than her usual svelte figure, with two children around her.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight about her preparation for the role, she said: “I ate everything in sight – Pasta pappardelle and pizza. Oh, Tony [Longoria's husband] and I went crazy this summer.”

Longoria, who plays the fashionable high-maintenance Gabrielle on the popular show, also said she would be sporting butt, thigh and stomach pads to pull off the look of a mother with two children.

The actress, who married basketball start Tony Parker last year, also revealed that her spouse was helping her maintain her famous good looks.

Speaking about her new bob, she told Entertainment Tonight: “I had to cut my hair for the show because Gabrielle has short hair. I wore a wig in the last episode, but I didn’t want to wear a wig this whole season, so I was like, ‘I’m going to cut it.’”

However, her hairstylist was reluctant to start the cut and urged her husband to start crafting the new look.

“He said, ‘Tony, you’re going to do the first cut, so she can’t be mad at me. Tony did the first snip. He did more and then he did more and then Kenny cleaned it up,” she added.

What do you think?

I think it looks terrible, to be honest.  She’s much prettier with longer hair.  Wonder what the people over at Desperate Housewives will think?

Eva Longoria is not pregnant, her husband Tony Parker tells OK!.

“She’s not pregnant now if that’s your question,” the basketball star tells OK!.

Rumors swirled for the umpteenth time earlier this month when the Desperate Housewives actress was captured sporting a loose-fitting dress, but Tony says that’s nothing to get worked up over. In fact, fatherhood is the furthest thing from his mind at the moment.

“I’m not thinking like that right now,” he says.

For her part, Eva, 33, hasn’t been shy about her maternal desires, but has stated she doesn’t want to start a family just yet — a sentiment her San Antonio Spur echoes.

“Maybe one day [we'll have kids],” Tony says.

And when they do, there may be another NBA MVP in the future. The 26-year-old, who’s the cover boy for EA Sports’ NBA Live 2009 on Xbox, says he would definitely encourage his children to pick up sports.

“Of course. It has been great,” he says. “I don’t think it’s a lot of people you can say having a job and earning money and being happy with what you do. I’m very, very lucky.”

Now that the NBA season is over, Tony is looking forward to some quality time with his wife. The couple will celebrate their first wedding anniversary on July 7, and while Tony doesn’t have any plans or gifts for Eva yet, he is certain about one thing — married life.

“It’s been great,” he says.
