Actress Eva Longoria Parker has called out to the press - begging journalists to "chill out" about reports she is expecting her first child with husband Tony Parker.

Longoria has issued a string of public denials since putting on the pounds for her role in hit U.S. Tv series Desperate Housewives sparked rumours of her alleged pregnancy.

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, Longoria admits she will 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." (c) WENN
