Eva Longoria Parker’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad kiss

Wow, I'm glad she emphasized how much she HATED it.  Like they had to pull her arm to do it, a simple "no" to the idea would have been okay.  It's okay she didn't like it, I don't like kissing guys but I certainly didn't put it that way.

*Sigh* Not that she's my favorite actress, but that just disappoints me.  She's lost my respect.

Kiss a girl on screen and it's "a personal invasion."

Kiss a boy, and that's called 'acting'

Funny, since she's played a lesbian before. Also, maybe if she's not willing to play roles that are versitile (whether it be different personalities, attitudes, or sexualities) then maybe she should rethink her job. In fact, most actresses say that sex scenes are uncomfortable, but you don't hear all of them going on and on about how awful it was and how they will never do it again. Some do say that they hate sex scenes, but they actually have a reason to if they are completely naked and moaning in front of the crew and cameras. But actresses and actors alike still do sex scenes when they are vital to the story, because they are professional and it can add to the story if done right. I think it is especially irresponsible of her since she is a public figure, and a well known one at that. Eva, if you weren't comfortable with it, fine, it's not for everyone. However, please, have some decency and don't go around publicly declaring your disgust at kissing someone of the same sex. It clear that you're straight without you spelling it out for us. We're gay, not stupid. We know you're married and one liplock is not going to change that. Apart from that, it's a slap in the face to the lesbian community when you go around saying that you "hate" kissing someone of the same sex and that it is a "personal invasion". Now, if Teri Hatcher deviated from the script by jumping you all of the sudden (which, contrary to common belief, is not the style of most lesbians) then yes, it would be a significant breach of your personal space. But you agreed to this 2 second kiss. Stop complaining about it and act like an adult.

*stretches and rubs sleep out of eyes*

Sorry, did Eva Longoria Parker just say something?

I really don't give a shit.  Honestly, I feel sorry for Tony.  Anyone that uptight can't be too much fun in the bedroom.

Oh wow...At first I thought she meant kissing in general when doing her job...but she's OK with kissing men but not women. Had she meant in general I wouldn't think anything of it. But way to basically diss your boss and the majority (?) of your audience if we are gonna play the gay card. Not cool. Then again I'm sure we all would have "enjoyed" the "lesbian" kiss just as much had it been between Susan and Lynette instead of Gaby -> at least Felicity doesn't a personal problem with kissing women (re: the Felicity/Marcia kiss) :)

I was in a good mood but now I'm angry :(

In a funny way, I'm glad she said this. It shows that kissing women isn't just a non-event, an air-meets-air piece of frivolity. Not any random straight woman can kiss another woman and like it, whether that's for a TV show, a boyfriend, or a dare. The same as with lesbians kissing men, or straight men kissing each other. It's possible to dislike it, and it's therefore also possible to truly like it. You can't just randomly kiss a woman because it's no big deal. It is a big deal. It may be stupid of her to make such a fuss over it - it's not like she had to get at all down and dirty with a woman, and it is her job to be a "desperate housewife" - but at least she's being honest. And I prefer that to Katy Perry style "Ooooh, look, all of us girls just kiss each other all the time for fun! Maybe we're sexy lesbians! Are you watching, boys? - Boys?"-ness.

What A Silly Wabbit.

Interesting how she made that movie Carlita's Secret where kissed a girl, and she was the executive prouducer.  Plus she went on and teased about being curious about women in Maxim, but now she hates it.

Well, at least we got her a couple of times, plenty of fish in the sea.

I know this story's got the slant of "I hated kissing a girl" but she actually says "it doesn't matter who" and in the past, for a few years at least, she has said in interviews how she hates kissing her male costar. She's spoken about the privacy aspect, too physical. So... I think it's just kissing and intimacy with co-stars she doesn't like. Maybe it being a woman just added another level to that, but I just don't think she enjoys it, full stop.

The lady doth protest too much.

You're getting your panties in twist over nothing Linster! Why do you need Eva's approval? You like kissing girls she doesn't. Jeez some people see homophobia everywhere. 

I wish she would have added that these stupid "lesbian" storylines are dumb and insulting to everyone.

I saw her give an interview a while back, could have been this morning, and she actually said that she disliked any kissing scenes, be it man or woman. I think someones been misinformed here about what she said. Chinese whispers maybe??

 Don't know about the foxnews comment but could be out of context or omitted something, like "Definitely no more kissing girls, after they've eaten a clove of garlic" but i doubt it.

 or maybe i saw T4......

I just doesn't make sense... I recall her saying something about wanting to play a lesbian somewhere. So I don't think the woman part is the point she's making, just that she doesn't like kissing on screen in gerenal. Because she sees it as something very private...

Not that I really care, since I'm not a huge fan... but I still I think she's a nice person, and she probably didn't mean it that way!

I've never thought her to be like that. Plus, the creator of DH is gay, so how insulting is that?!? Hmmm, maybe she just doesn't like Teri Hatcher?? 

Or like someone said above...the lady doth protest too much :) oh well, who cares...it's not like there aren't haters, I just hope she doesn't have an upcoming appearance on Ellen...awkward.

I'll be honest here, I don't find this offensive at all. I would feel the same way if I were kissing a man onscreen. Isn't it possible that she's not homophobic or anti gay, but that she's just straight and therefore was uncomfortable? 

I wouldn't want to be called heterophobic or anti straight if I didn't enjoy kissing a man.  

we all know what they say about people that scream HATE the loudest.....

it's okay Eva. when you're ready, we'll be there to embrace you ;)

well...if she doesn't enjoy kissing anyone on screen....not just women...why is she playing this type of role?  i would ask why is she an actress at all...but there are several types of roles out there that don't require her to kiss and do adult things.  any movie or show on Disney or Nick for example.  the christian broadcasting network also does tv shows.  and then, there's Noggin...the list goes on and on.

and it's the way she said she didn't like kissing females that has people upset.  it just smells a little homophobic.  like, she's trying so hard to prove that she doesn't like other women in any shape or form and is very straight.

~I am bisexual.  You are confused.~

I just can't handle her... anything I've ever read that has her as a topic she is always talking about how incredible she is...even in a post a few weeks ago talking about that kiss she says she is an amazing kisser and Hatcher should def. feel something. Always how much her and tony love eachother and... argh... just can't stand her...

oh well. had to get that off my chest and thankful this topic was here.

who cares really? is not as if she is the oh-so-bright-actress  the only thing that helps her is being married to that football player..is she even the one?. I cant stand her, if she cannot adapt to her roles then she has just proven what she is, a bad actress. She kissed a girl and didnt like it, thats good is just the deeming it horrible part that is not PC , she could have said NO straight out..or maybe she did want to try it? o_O

Let it Rock,Let it roll

Sorry but did you follow up the sources you got those quotes from? (In relation to the first quote).  I'm not even a fan of her but it took me a few seconds to do so: Eva Longoria on British Show 'This Morning' 10/03/09 (although I live in the UK I didn't see or know of the interview until I googled it a few moments ago)

I typed out part of the interview, it's after the interviewer asks her about the lesbian storyline and Eva explains it. Then the interviewer asks

Interviewer: "You've said before in the past that you don't like to kiss on screen and when you go back you don't talk to the hubby about it.  Has that got easier for you?"

Eva: "No I still hate kissing, I still hate it, I still think it's really intimate. Even if it's Teri Hatcher I hate it. It doesn't matter who, I just think it's such a personal invasion, I find it really difficult."

So you see its not women, it's everyone, and in fact she makes it sound like she prefers kissing Teri to others if she has to kiss anybody, so that's something. Perhaps she's in the wrong profession but she doesn't seem homophobic and this article is unfair. I'm sure I even read something a while ago (on here? not sure) where she said she loved gays but the article said unfortunately the feeling was not mutual. Seems unfair on her tbh. I don't think she's all that but I have nothing against her!!

However, I don't know about the Fox quote “Definitely no more kissing girls.”  Perhaps you are right to write this afterall, I don't know..  But I don't know how I'd trust just one quote which might be quite out of context..  The comments from people about her being insulting when she says kissing a girl is an invasion of intimacy are not fair because she was talking about kisses in general, so even if she was out of order in the Fox source, its not as bad as this article made it seem and I don't think its fair that all these people will get the wrong idea about somebody because I know they won't all read my comment. It makes me feel bad for her, is all :(

edit: 'Kay so I chased up the other interview since I bothered writing all this, with the help of trusty google; and it seems like the quote about never kissing a girl again was some kind of joke to make guys feel better or something.  Here's a longer version of the quote which the article linked to on here got their short and somewhat out of context quote from.  (From here)

"...headlines have been buzzing about Longoria’s lesbian lip-lock with co-star Teri Hatcher -- but apologies to the millions of men out there, it will never happen again.

'Definitely no more kissing girls,' she said sternly, adding that she and her co-stars have literally been sitting on-set waiting for the script of their next scene to hopefully avoid the leaking of any secrets surrounding the last three episodes."

Come on, the fact they added 'sternly' make sme think it was anything but!  She just wants to jokingly reassure the guys that she is obtainable (fantasywise, clearly she wouldn't be in their real lives even if she was single) or whichever.  You might say thats a bad thing but I bet if Leisha Hailey or someone did a mainstream guy kiss and it looked like there might be more we'd like to be jokingly reassured she'd be kissing girls onscreen sometime soon. Thats how I take it anyways!

Man, all this searching and linking etc etc must be what its like to work on the site! (Except smaller scale!)  So yeah, not meaning to be harsh to the author but I wanted to get a fairer view across; I usually don't spend this much time on comments but I'm pretty sure that somehow absolutely nobody bothered to check out the sources or comment them, which is unusual, so I did! Man, if only I'd had this enthusiasm for my source-heavy Independant University Study..

For A second I had the thought maybe she's calling it awful because it was delightful?

Just a thought lol

Kissing men. It makes me feel a little dirty. Does that make me a heterophobe?

How can it? Some of my best friends are straight?

Really, I even have a straight brother....

I even think my parents might be heterosexual...

I never even thought...I guess...well maybe I should start kissing men, just to be unbiased...

*kisses straight friend*

*throws up a little in mouth*

You know what, I'm ok with the label, I'll be a heterophobe. Hopefully my friends will accept me despite my faults.
