Actress Eva Longoria Parker has fuelled reports she is expecting her first child with husband Tony Parker - after she was photographed with a protruding stomach.

The Desperate Housewives beauty married French basketball star Parker in July last year and the couple has been the subject of pregnancy rumours ever since.

And paparazzi pictures taken of Longoria Parker with her husband on Tuesday night - revealing the actress' suspicious-looking swollen belly - have sent gossips into a spin.

The snaps emerged just a week after Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry revealed the couple were "desperately trying to get pregnant".

Longoria Parker recently admitted she would want to keep her pregnancy a secret, insisting: "I agree with Jennifer Lopez. Somebody asked her, 'Why did you hide your pregnancy for so long?' She said, 'I didn't hide it from the people who needed to know.'"

Actress Felicity Huffman landed her role in hit U.S. TV series Desperate Housewives in a shocking audition when she complained about the pitfalls of motherhood.

The mum-of-three stunned casting directors when she stumbled into her audition for the show, looking distressed.

She then told the agents "I'm losing my mind" in reference to raising her brood - and believes she got the job as a result of the comment.

Huffman says, "The women pulled back from me as if I'd said, 'I eat babies.' I felt such shame and remorse and humiliation. And I guess that's exactly what they wanted for (my character) Lynette.

"I'd just left two screaming kids in the bathtub and it was raining. I thought I pulled myself together well. Later on, one of the producers said, 'It was so great because you were such a mess and so frazzled, and your pants were filthy!'"

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman knew she had found the perfect personal trainer when her new fitness guru told her to eat more.

The actress admits to having "a lot of trainers through the years," and was discouraged when they each tried to keep her below her ideal weight of 125 pounds (56.6 kilograms).

She recalls, "They (were) always like, 'Oh my god, you ate a muffin?' and 'What do you mean you weigh 125? You can't shoot at that weight.'"

And Huffman tells More magazine her new trainer, Kirsten Holtgreen, is a godsend: "She's the first trainer who's said, 'You're not eating enough.'"

The Desperate Housewives star worked at a Wendy's in her native Texas for six years and still has fond memories of her pre-fame job.

She tells Latina magazine, "I loved it. And I still love them. They are an amazing organisation. I still keep in touch with my manager from when I was 14. They are just great to me.

"I wanted to have a quinceanera (15th birthday party), so I went to Wendy's to work to pay for my own quinceanera. I stayed.

"I paid for my cheerleading and everything through that. It was like whatever you want to do outside of school, you have to pay for it. I never had a car because I was always trying to save."

Actress Eva Longoria Parker attempts to convince directors her characters should hug instead of kiss, because she hates smooching with anyone who isn't her husband.

The Desperate Housewives actress has just celebrated her first wedding anniversary with basketball star Tony Parker and she can't get used to the idea she has to lock lips with strange men on the big and small screen.

She tells Latina magazine, "I always try to talk my way out of kissing scenes: 'Do they really need to kiss in this part? Can't they just hug?' The directors are like, 'No!'"

And she isn't the only member of the Desperate Housewives cast who shudders at the thought of a kissing scene - her onscreen husband would prefer not to have to kiss her.

She adds, "Ricardo (Chavira) hates kissing me. We are both not really fond of the kissing scenes."

Eva Longoria was back on the set of Desperate Housewives yesterday showing off more of that hot wardrobe she sounded so excited about. While we know what to expect from her character's look this season, everyone's still wondering about Eva's real life family including Dh creator Mark Cherry who says she's "desperately trying to get pregnant." Eva is busy enough as is — for example this week alone she already hosted an event in Vegas with Tony Saturday, a charity dinner at Beso on Sunday, and then her celebrity BFFs the Beckhams and the Beckinsale Wisemans on Monday — sounds like her plate may be even more full with what's to come.

Victoria Beckham and best pal Eva Longoria Parker's plans to open a Las Vegas club could be in jeopardy, thanks to the singer's husband David.

According to reports, the former Spice Girl and the Desperate Housewives star are going into business together by opening a fancy new club, which will incorporate Longoria Parker's restaurant Beso and a high-rollers casino.

But the soccer ace is said to be concerned that his wife is taking on too much and doesn't want her to become too involved with the venture.

A source tells Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper, "She (Eva) asked Victoria to come on board and help.

"Victoria was thrilled and talked it through with her husband David, but he thought she was spreading herself a bit thin and should concentrate on what she was good at . running a successful fashion line and looking after the family."

The publication alleges that Beckham will be involved - but only to oversee the guest list for the launch party.

Desperate Housewives actor James Denton has ruled out having more children - because he is "too old".

The 45-year-old is already father to children Sheppard, five, and three-year-old Malin.

And Denton is adamant he and his wife Erin O'Brien will not be expanding their family.

He says, "We started too late. Would we like to? Absolutely, but we've had that conversation. There was a moment when we thought about it but it doesn't make sense, outside of the possibility of adopting which right now doesn't really appeal to us.

"We're finished. What we have now is perfect."

The following contains Moderate Spoilers for the third season of NBC's "Heroes." Death is not a permanent state of being in science fiction or in television, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Arthur Petrelli, presumed to have passed away on "Heroes," will likely be making a comeback in the show's upcoming third year, according to Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly. Sources tell Ausiello that the Father Petrelli will be played by Robert Forster, who has appeared in genre films including "Spawn 3: Ultimate Battle" and a variety of television shows including "Desperate Housewives" and "Numb3rs." Of course, with "Heroes"' penchant for time travel and flashbacks, it is uncertain whether or not Papa Petrelli will still be alive. And if he is alive, will he use his powers? ...
