FELICITY HUFFMAN has put an end to rumours her Despertae Housewives co-star EVA LONGORIA PARKER is pregnant - insisting she is "just fat".

Pint-sized Evan has issued a string of public denials she is expecting her first child with husband TONY PARKER since putting on the pounds for her role in the hit US TV series.

Now Felicity, who plays Lynette Scavo in the show, has backed her pal's claims she is not pregnant, saying she’s just piled on the pounds.

She says: "She's just fat, that's all there is to it!"

Nice.

Meanwhile Eva has asked that the media back off in their relentless pursuit of ‘the truth’ and is begging all journos to “chill out”

She says, "I wish people would just chill out. You'll know when it happens...

“It's funny because bloggers are like, 'Oh, Eva is wearing baggy clothes.' It's not like I dressed like a hoochie mama before!"

And though she continues to deny the pregnancy, Eva admits she will still keep the public waiting months after she discovers she's expecting.

She adds, "You just don't say anything for health reasons. You just want to make sure everything's okay.”
