Eva’s New Look: All About Being One of the “Housewives”

Ramey

The new hair cut, the slightly fuller figure. Eva Longoria Parker is citing her Desperate Housewives character needs as the reason for her new look. According to her personal rep, Eva is reflecting a change in her on-screen character Gabrielle — who goes from her usual sex kitten to an over-worked housewife with kids in season five. “She’s making herself look like that as her character has let herself go. Gabrielle has gained weight and cut her hair,” Liza Anderson tells PEOPLE of Longoria Parker’s character. “She’s a worn out mother with two kids.” Longoria Parker was pictured on a European vacation — notably on a yacht off the coast of Italty — looking minutely larger than normal, prompting the usual rounds of pregnancy rumors. Anderson chalked this slight gain to Gabrielle’s woes. “And even that was not enough. She’s also wearing butt pads and a stomach pad to play the part.” And did Longoria Parker enjoy the method-eating? “This is a lot of fun,” says Anderson, “but as an actress.”

I think if you see her picture in a bikini (on this website) you’ll see why they are saying that she gained weight. Its all relative… I think its funny how only the heavy people have a problem with the comments. No thin person will say “its okay to gain 10 lbs…love your heavier and fuller figure…” Nobody who cares about their body would actually say that! LOL.

Whatever

Everyone looks better when they are in shape and on the thinner side (not skinny or anorexic, but trim). If not, then for some reason in our society, you are “not good enough”. Ridiculous.

This story makes me sick to my stomach. First of all Eva looks like she gained about 10 extra pounds and this “look” is supposed to represent letting yourself go? Short hair is supposed to represent letting yourself go?

As women we should all just commit suicide because if this is considered the “letting yourself go” look we are all doomed.

oh no eva, long hair is the way to go, looks much better with the typ of nose you have

Kittty

So ugly as always! What does the media see in her?

Give me a brake… the person that wrote a woman let’s herself go after kids had to be written by a man is absolutely right..let us not look in the mirror boys, most of you middle aged fathers with beer guts still think you can get the babes. Who cares about this crap anyway. I get sick of hearing how these poor bony actors HAVE to put on weight for a role.10 lbs OMG can she still walk with all that fat???? Get a grip bodies are beautiful in all sizes.

I like her new hair cut. She’s gorgeous.

Eva looks so much better now that she’s put on a little weight. When are people going to learn that super skinny is NOT sexy? Women were meant to have a little meat on their bones. I think Eva should be happy with the way she looks now. She certainly looks healthier.

Gee, if size 2 is considered FAT then at size 12 I must be MORBIDLY OBESE!!!!!!
