Longoria: "When The Lights Are Out, He's The Teacher!"

BURBANK, Calif. - March 22, 2006- Eva Longoria sets the record straight with "Access Hollywood's" Billy Bush about her relationship with Tony Parker and what she hoped would come across in Allure magazine's April cover story. The interview airs on "Access Hollywood," Wednesday, March 22, 2006 (Log on to AccessHollywood.com to check local time and station).

In response to Allure magazine's April 2006 cover story Longoria said, "It is actually a very beautiful article and the pictures are great. I was really upset about the domestic and international press. They kind of tore it apart and latched on to things that that really weren't in the article and it really misconstrued a lot of what was said in there and it kind of upset me."

While reports have taken her quote, "I'm the teacher, especially about love" into a sexual context, the "Desperate Housewives" star said, "I never meant that in a sexual way and nor is it a sexual way in the article." 

To set the record straight she added, "When the lights are out, he's the teacher!" Longoria also said that there are many other things her basketball boyfriend teaches her about, "Tony is so good with money he teaches me so much about money management. He teaches me so much about responsibility and time management...He is the teacher of all things to me."

Longoria also gave a direct message to the Parker's basketball locker room: "Everybody in the locker room, quit teasing Tony."

"Access Hollywood" is produced by NBC and distributed by NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution. Rob K Silverstein is the executive producer.
