Desperate Housewives Creator Bans More Babies  9/24/06

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry has banned any more female cast members from getting pregnant this season.

Marcia Cross recently announced that she was pregnant, leaving producers scrambling to decide whether or not to write her pregnancy into the show.

Eva Longoria made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Friday (22SEPT06), where she said Cherry had pleaded with his other leading ladies not to get pregnant.

When DeGeneres asked Longoria if she was willing to postpone getting married to boyfriend Tony Parker and having a family she said, "It's just difficult because our work schedule is so crazy.

"And you know Marcia Cross is pregnant and so Marc Cherry came on the set and he was like, 'No more pregnancies this year! They're really hard to write in!'"

Longoria claims her and her basketball beau are happy to put their family plans on hold saying when the time is right she'll have "as many (children) as God will give me - two, three, four, five...."
