Eva Longoria, 31, is a beauty, but she wants people to know that she is smart, too.

No wonder Eva Longoria, who plays sexy Gabrielle Soliz at "Desperate Housewives," is bugged by all the gossip about her sex life. When the media focuses on her intimate details with boyfriend Tony Parker, Eva Longoria seems to feel sorry for certain things that slip off her toungue.

 

"It's annoying, absolutely," she told Reuters ahead of Friday's release of her new movie, thriller "The Sentinel," in which she portrays a rookie U.S. Secret Service agent.

Eva Longoria, whose bikini-clad body is featured on a mega-sized MAXIM cover spread out in the Nevada desert so that it can be seen from outer space, claims she is as comfortable talking about U.S. immigration policy and the plight of migrant farm workers.

"I respect good journalism. I respect certain newspapers and certain publications, and they are just watered down by the bounty for gossip and pictures and information that is irrelevant and uninteresting," Eva Longoria said.

Eva Longoria was among People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" and was No. 1 on Maxim magazine's "Hot 100" list of sexy women.
