Last week I posted some pictures of Mario Lopez giving friend Eva Longoria a “Love” necklace, designed by Cartier. Turns out – it was all part of an elaborately staged prank.

It’s true that Eva Longoria-Parker and Mario Lopez are friends, but the Cartier necklace he gave her on March 6 is fake! In Touch can exclusively reveal that the pair were setting up a skit for Ashton Kutcher’s new reality show with a twist, Pop Fiction. In fact, a video crew even followed the friends to the Hornitos tequila-sponsored opening of Eva’s restaurant Beso later that night. The show picks up where Punk’d left off, with celebrities acting out fake scenes in front of paparazzi.

Eva will be 33 on March 15.  A few of her fellow Desperate Housewives costars came out, including Marcia Cross and Dana Delany.  Sheryl Crow, Mario Lopez and her trusty hair stylist Ken Paves were also spotted.

Hmmm….

See the necklace close up after the jump! (more…)

With the screenwriters’ strike over, Eva Longoria-Parker is returning to Wisteria Lane – and getting back in shape.

“We’re back and it’s like we never left,” Longoria-Parker told PEOPLE Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles while accepting a donation for the children’s cancer charity, Padres Contra El Cancer. “We were such a well-oiled machine before we broke so stop was jolting.”

Having dismissed pregnancy rumors in January by pointing to her strike-induced indulging, the Desperate Housewives star is back to her work health regiment.

“I’m working out, I’m eating my healthy food I get prepared,” she said with a sigh. “It is so much easier being in shape when you’re on the show because you have a chef and the gym is right there, so you really have no excuse.”

Fresh off a plane from San Antonio, and heading to catch a place to New York, quality time with husband Tony Parker may be limited, but the actress is still in honeymoon mode.

“We’ve only been married seven months so I hope the spice is alive on it’s own!” she laughed.

Along with her work on the show, Longoria-Parker has another project: her new Latin restaurant Beso opens in Los Angeles on Thursday.
