Desperate Housewives Episodes

London, Aug 19 (IANS) Actress Felicity Huffman got the role in the hit TV show “Desperate Housewives” after an audition where she complained about the troubles of motherhood.Huffman has three children and she walked into the audition all distressed, reports contactmusic.com. She then told the agents, “I’m losing my mind.”

The actress added: “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!’”

We’ve talked about Eva Longoria and her numerous pregnancy rumors (some, perhaps, started by, *cough*, us), but her boss, Marc Cherry, creator and executive producer of Desperate Housewives, has some news about Eva and it concerns - you guessed it - babies!

Cherry told Us Weekly, “Eva is desperately trying to get pregnant with [husband] Tony Parker.

“After they phone their doctor, she promised me I will be the next call.”

Eva, 33, is going to play a mom on the new season of Desperate Housewives, so she was asked to gain a bit of weight and she has to wear padding to help achieve a ‘frumpy mom and housewife’ look.  Although, if you look at this photo, you’d swear she was really pregnant.  Sure, it could be my over-active imagination or my medication not working, either, or.

Marc adds, explaining about the ‘five year advance’ of the show, “Gaby is having a very tough time being the mother of two overweight, hyperactive children.  But Eva is having a marvelous time playing her!”

And Eva’s hubby Tony said in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper, that he was anxious to start a family.  “That would be even better than my NBA titles, even if I don’t compare private life and sports.  Eva talks to me about it all the time.

“I’d like to have girls, because I come from a world of boys.”

See?  One of these days, one of those bump rumors will be true!

Eva Longoria Parker is planning to follow in the footsteps of pal Victoria Beckham and bring out her own designer range. Beckham currently designs her own range of jeans and Longoria Parker is considering taking some time out from acting to launch her own collection.

“I would love to design one day. I do not have the time right now but I would love to develop a home line or a clothing line. So we will see what comes first,” Contactmusic quoted Eva, as saying. “I am thinking about it,” she added.

The Desperate Housewives star is already compiling ideas for a possible style venture. She said: “My definition of style is comfort. I have to be comfortable, so that would most likely the line I would take.”

If reports are to be believed, it was fate that had Desperate Housewives‘ Eva Longoria and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham teaming up to open a special restaurant in Las Vegas.  It was said that Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore introduced the two wives to the game.

Longoria will supposedly handle the food aspect of things, as the second branch of her Beso eatery franchise, while Beckham will take care of the casino, which will be the nightspot’s other attraction.  According to a source, the two are very excited at the business venture.

“Eva owns a restaurant called Beso in Hollywood and is set to launch another in Vegas,” confirms a source.  “She 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 would good at - running and successful fashion line and looking after the family.’

The star of Desperate Housewives, 33, is married to basketball star Tony Parker, while Beckham, 34, is married to international football sensation David Beckham.

“Eva and Victoria are obsessed with the game and spend most of their evenings going out for a civilized meal and then getting stuck into a meaty tournament.  But they realized there are no venues which provide dinner and focus on this new Hollywood craze.

“So when Eva said she was opening a new branch of Beso in the gambling capital of the world, Victoria had the brainwave of turning it into a place which specializes in food and their favorite game.  Eva will oversee the restaurant, while Victoria channels her energies into the casino.”

The second installment of Beso will serve food by celebrity chef Todd English.

Desperate Housewives returns on ABC on September 28.
