Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker has blamed Victoria Beckham for putting her at the centre of a recent flurry of pregnancy rumors.

The actress was last month forced to deny reports she is expecting her first child with her basketball star husband Tony Parker after she was spotted with a suspicious-looking swollen belly.

But Longoria Parker blames the rumors on a pair of jeans given to her by the Spice Girls singer from her dVb fashion range.

She says, "Victoria gave me a couple of pairs and I love them. They were so tight, my gut was hanging over the top before dinner.

"Then, we came out of the restaurant and I was totally bloated. And now, apparently I have a baby bump!"
