Forget those rumors about
Eva Longoria Parker
being pregnant.
Her
Desperate Housewives
costar
Felicity Huffman
says Longoria isn't showing a baby bump.
"She's just fat, that's all there is to it!" the actress told People magazine.
When ABC's dizzy soap returns on Sept. 28, the plot has been advanced five years and Longoria Parker has put on weight to portray Gabrielle as a harried housewife and mom. She will also wear a fat suit for some episodes.
"She looks cute," Huffman said of the padding. "But she's always like, 'Feel my ass! Feel my ass!' All the jokes [on the set] are about Eva and her fat suit."

Saturday Night Live
bowed this week to great fanfare thanks to its opening sketch featuring two prominent political femmes. But it may be hard to duplicate.
Tina Fey
won't commit to returning as
Sarah Palin
. And the show will soon be losing its
Hillary Clinton
. A pregnant
Amy Poehler
says she'll leave the show in a few months to focus on maternity. As she told Men's Vogue, she has no plans to return: The comedian, wife of comic actor
Will Arnett
, already has signed on to star in an NBC series from the producers of
The Office
.
After seven years on
SNL
, Poehler says, "it's going be really hard -
Boyz II Men
hard - to say goodbye to yesterday.
SNL
was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down."
Now she's Smiley
Miley Cyrus
has got herself a new beau. There have been recent sightings of the teen megastar with
Justin Gaston
. Gaston, 20, was a contestant on
Nashville Star
, hosted by Miley's dad,
Billy Ray Cyrus
. But you may know the Louisiana model from his underwear ads for Kenneth Cole and Guest. And he plays the hunky boyfriend in
Taylor Swift
's music video "Love Story."
Miley, 15, was first seen with Gaston at church services in Pasadena, Calif., on Sunday. That night he was at Disney's Concert for Hope, where Miley performed with the
Jonas Brothers
. (Ooh, awkward. Miley used to date
Nick Jonas
.) And Monday they held hands at L.A.'s Century City mall.
Make it worth his while
We've always been told that the LL in
LL Cool J
stand for "Ladies Love." But we think they really signify "Lavish Lagniappes." The rapper agreed to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards this month, but he had conditions: 14 hotel-room reservations, 14 cross-country airline tickets, a black super-stretch limo, and 24 long-stem roses, dethorned, with individual plastic stem tips. We're guessing he expected company. A whole lot.

"One date, I just left before we even ordered food because the guy was just so deeply boring that it was like, 'I'm going to just save us from all of this and just leave,' " said Hudson, 29. In case you were wondering, he "was in banking. I'm not kidding."
