Eva Longoria banned from getting pregnant

Actress Eva Longoria Parker has been banned by producers of her hit show Desperate Housewives from getting pregnant this year.

The actress is longing to raise kids with her basketball star husband Tony Parker but TV bosses have asked her to postpone baby plans, following her co-star Marcia Cross' pregnancy in 2006, Contactmusic reported.

"Tony and I are working on expanding our family. But the producer has forbidden me from getting pregnant this year. Seriously! Marcia's pregnancy came as a big surprise and posed a big problem for the script writers. Even so, I love being a real housewife. I cook, I clean up, I do Tony's washing," Longoria said.

The 35-year-old actress admits her busy work schedule may also delay plans of motherhood.

"I work three to four days a week (in Los Angeles) and then fly to Texas to spend a long weekend with Tony. This means we can only have sex on the weekends," Longoria said.
