Eva Longoria is still not pregnant

Her stylist explains the photo that sparked the most recent gossip

Eva Longoria is NOT pregnant

Eva Longoria-Parker just can't stop the baby talk!

The most recent game of bumpwatch began Monday, after the Desperate Housewives star was photographed shopping at N.Y.C.'s Ferragamo boutique wearing a loose-fitting sundress - while salespeople seemingly pointed to her belly.

So is she ready to start a family with husband Tony Parker? The answer, it seems, is an emphatic no.

"Eva is not pregnant," her stylist Robert Verdi told PEOPLE during a viewing party for his new show, She's Got the Look.

And Verdi insists he has first-hand knowledge. "I'm not her gynecologist, but I am her stylist," he explained. "I see her naked. I see her boobs! That's the first place it would show, and it's not showing!"

As for the Ferragamo photos, Verdi - who was with Longoria during the shopping expedition - said the shots are simply misleading. "Eva was holding a handbag that she bought in the crook of her arm," he said. "The manager came over and said to her, 'I love that bag.' But in the photos, it looks like the woman is gesturing to her midsection. It's too funny."

Of course, this is not the first time pregnancy rumors have swirled around the 33-year-old star. Earlier this year, she denied similar reports - saying she just gained weight during the writers' strike. "I've been cooking and eating, cooking and eating," she said at the time. "I keep telling everyone that I've gained 10 pounds just being on strike."
