Glamourous Eva Longoria Parker and Teri Hatcher look really desperate as a grey-haired old lady and a tubby binge-eater in the latest episode of Desperate Housewives.

Eva’s character Gabrielle Solis stepped 20 years into the future in a dream sequence where she imagined herself as an interfering stage mum hell-bent on making her daughter a famous actress.

The wrinkly Gabrielle shuffled around in a dressing gown as she pleaded with a casting agent to give her reluctant daughter Celia a job.

Teri hid her perfect figure under a fat suit with a couple of extra chins in another fantasy sequence in the episode, screened in America on Sunday night.

Her character Susan considered how her life could have turned out if she had given cheating ex-husband Karl another chance.

And she wondered if she would have ended up piling on the pounds by comfort-eating to cope with Karl’s serial philandering.

Feisty Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria Parker does not gloss over the trials of a working actress.

The 34-year-old said that between her stints on the hit television drama she struggles to find movie roles.

She said: “Even now that I’m on Housewives, it’s not like roles are pouring in. You’re constantly struggling until the end of your career. There are still so many things I want to do.”

Parker was linked to Mario Lopez, before she married basketballer Tony Parker in 2007, but the actor moved to staunch the rumour.

Lopez said: “We get asked that a lot but I’ve known her for a long time and it would seem incestuous. We’re both the same culture, same age, our families both know each other, so we go back. It would be weird. It would never happen.”

Actress Marcia Cross of Desperate Housewives fame says her tiny twins have mirrored her own boring dress sense.

Just two-and-a-half, the twin girls, Eden and Savannah, were given free reign over their clothes. But they have chosen to stick to rigid and understated codes, Cross marvels.

She told Ellen DeGeneres on her show: “I thought maybe these girls will have a little something going on. So I was like, ‘Whatever you want to wear’.”

She went on: “I have one who will only wear navy blue from head to toe – that’s Savannah, who we call Savvy. Socks, underwear, leggings, shirt and navy blue ties in her hair. Eden will only wear a green shirt and black pants. It looks like I’m a really boring dresser and now I dress my kids that way, but truthfully it was [their] choice!”

The girls are Cross’s daughters with Tom Mahoney. Cross, despite her words, cuts a very glamorous flame-haired figure on Housewives.

Jesse Metcalfe has said he’s too old to play roles such as the gardener in Desperate Housewives any more.

The actor said: “I don’t have a problem with comedy, I love comedy.

“I’m not really sure if I can play those roles any more now that I’m 30.

“The character’s not dead so there’s always a door open you know.

“I came back for, I think, two episodes in the third season, but that was the last time I appeared on the show.

“But you know that was a lot of fun, it gave me my start and you know I have everyone involved in Desperate Housewives to thank for where I’m at right now.”

He also said that he still finds it hard to find work in Hollywood: “You know I’m not really in the place where I get to pick and choose the work that I get just yet.

“You know I’m still emerging, the last three films I’ve done I got offered to me, which was definitely a privilege, but I’ve been auditioning.

“You know the climate right now in Hollywood is very competitive with the recession and the couple of strikes that we’ve had, fewer films are being made.”
