Eva Longoria claims she is not pregnant - just greedy.

The 'Desperate Housewives' star - who is not currently filming the show because of the Hollywood writers' strike - insists her bulging stomach is full of food.

Eva said: "No pregnancy, not yet. I've been cooking and eating, cooking and eating. I keep telling everyone that I've gained 10 pounds just being on strike."

Despite her denial, the 32-year-old actress - who married basketball star Tony Parker in Paris last July - arrived to a Santa Monica press conference for her new movie 'Over Her Dead Body' wrapped in a pink baby blanket.

She explained: "I know if this isn't going to spawn pregnancy rumors, I don't know.

"I was freezing, so I had to run down to the gift shop, and they didn't have any wraps. I grabbed this and was like, 'It's so soft, but why is it so small?!' And they said, 'It's for a baby.' "

Eva insists she and Tony are hoping to start a family together in the near future.

She said: "We're not really on a time clock, and going, 'OK, this month, this day.'

"We're kind of just going, 'We would be so happy if we get pregnant, and if we don't we're OK.' We're just letting God decide it."
