Eva Longoria ‘doesn’t want to be sugar mama’ to her debt-ridden, jobless boyfriend

It was one week ago that we were discussing whether or not George Clooney and Eva Longoria had been fooling around while he was still officially “with” Stacy Keibler. We were also discussing whether or not Eva Longoria really wanted us to know that Clooney might have been trying to slip her Lil’ Clooney. Shortly after Us Weekly’s story – that Eva and George had talked about fooling around but that Eva wouldn’t mess around with a dude who had a girlfriend – both Eva and George denied the story. Blah. So, with that in mind, these are some new photos of Eva and her boyfriend Ernesto Arguello.

Eva and Ernesto have been together a few months. There’s a theory floating around that Eva picked up Ernesto (who was a contestant on her failed dating-reality show) when Clooney wouldn’t dump Stacy, and Eva has been “flaunting” Ernesto all over the place so Clooney would get jealous. Granted, I’m no Clooney-defender, but does anyone think George would take one look at Ernesto and get jealous? Really? Ernesto isn’t even D-list. He’s $4 million in debt. And personally, he pings on my gaydar.

But Eva is committed to making this relationship work – WTF? – so she’s having a part written for Ernesto on the show she’s producing, Devious Maids.

Eva Longoria is putting her man to work: a source says Eva has cast her boyfriend, Ernesto Arguello, on her new Lifetime series, Devious Maids, so he can start contributing financially to their budding union.

Eva, 38, who is a producer on the show, met Ernesto when he was a contestant on her failed reality dating show, Ready for Love.

“She doesn’t want to be his sugar mama,” admits a pal. “So she’s having the writers create a character specifically for him.”

This feels like Jennifer Lopez-Casper Smart, right? A diva-type gets some do-nothing guy (a back-up dancer, a contestant on a dating reality show) to be her boyfriend and then she finagles some “job” for him (choreographer, “actor”) and now suddenly they’re even more legit? Eva, we need to talk. Girl… this is embarrassing. When Jennifer Lopez has better K-Fed-grifter-dating game than you, you know you have issues.

    Oh god. The boyfriends shirt. The pecs (moobs). Tapered cream pants. Not a good look. He looks like Kris “uhh Basketball” Humphries here.

  2. Alexandria says:

    Girrrrl….get yo mind right! *snaps fingers*

    • Liv says:

      Haha, right! They make a odd couple.

      I would love to see her with Clooney by the way, they’d be hot together! And it would be fun for us too 😉

  3. GiGi says:

    Is this story paving the way to an “Eva cries on George’s shoulder – romance blossoms” story???

    • CL says:

      That was the first thing I thought!

    • gogoGorilla says:

      Yes! That was exactly what I thought, too. I really think she’s setting this up nicely. I wonder if Clooney is part of the conversation, as this makes a nice twist to his two-year contract storyline and squashes many of the gay rumors.

    • emmie_a says:

      Yep. In a few weeks her and George will go public.

  4. Lucy2 says:

    Her PR is working overtime- first it was that Clooney wanted her but she said no, and now she’s so wealthy she could be a sugar mama? Come on. One tv role and some minor show producing does not an empire make. JLo would scoff at the comparison.

    • blue marie says:

      doesn’t she own a few restaurants though, or am I thinking of some one else? did she get any money from Parker? I’m not saying she’s rolling in it, but she’s not hurting either.

      But I think this story is being put out there in hopes of Clooney, seems PR-ish.

      • claire says:

        Yeah and because of those restaurants and what-have-you, she was a guest judge on Master Chef the other week. She was awful. During the tasting, she seemed to not want to actually swallow any of the food, she just kept chewing and thereby talking with her mouth full of food. It was really annoying.

        Sorry. I’ve been wanting to get that off my chest. 😛

    • Nikita says:

      Eva has some lucrative beautycontracts, i see her in tv spots for Loreal in Europe all the time. Even JLo earns more Money with her Perfumes and Loreal then with her bad Music. As if this woman can sing or act.
      Most stars earn more Money with Advertising then their normal Jobs. I mean, how much earned Beyonce with Pepsi? J.Aniston with Smart Water? They are vey high paid Models and the real models are not amused about this 😉
      And if These stars are smart engough, they make a riskfree good Investment and can live the rest of their live very good in their mansions without ever working again.

      According to celebritynetworth.com, last year she was worth $35 million. She was getting 400,000 per episode from Housewives when it was on the air, she’s got a few restaurants, and several endorsements. I’d actually be surprised if it wasn’t more than $35 million by now.

  5. bsh says:

    I do think she earned quite a lot from her DH days. It was a hit show when it started (not so much after season 4-5)

  6. Katie says:

    Too late. George doesn’t want your US Weekly on speed dial self.

    I can smell her desperation through my computer monitor.

  7. matia says:

    How do u get to be 4 million in debt? I’m 8k with credit cards and that took undergrad and grad school to accomplish. He needs to get a real job and live modestly and if she wants himbon her level she’s going to end up paying

  8. Talie says:

    How much could he possibly make for one episode on a basic cable network? Certainly not $4 million.

  9. Nikita says:

    kaiser, when a woman wants to make the guy of her desire jeulous, its not that important if hes rich or whatever. hes banging her, he got her, thats the Point AND hes Young and Looks hot. look at his Body!!! She will dump him after some month together. I guess shes just having a good time with him, let her be and enjoy this hot Piece of a guy 😉

  10. Bridget says:

    Do I think that George Clooney would be jealous of Eva parading a guy like this around? Um, no. But do I think this is the move that Eva would make to try to make someone jealous? TOTALLY. Eva has terrible PR game and she’s not exactly known for her subtlety.

  11. Helvetica says:

    Eva, get with Clooney. He is employed and has money to spare.

  12. kim says:

    Eva is a needy desperate chick pretending her life is a romcom…trying to get Georgie? Ya like anyone would keep him? It’s what he does. Wonder if he has rec’d HPV? yet?

  13. taxi says:

    This guy is so much better looking than Caspar.

  14. truthful says:

    LOL!!

    I can smell the desperation!!

    seems like as soon as her EX, announced he’s engaged–she digs up Ernesto.

    pathetic

  15. Poink517 says:

    I don’t think George is jealous. Honestly, I’m not too sure he swings that way. He may be more interested in the boy toy than interested in her.

  16. mata says:

    I don’t think she’s George’s type at all. She’s too smart (seriously, she’s no dummy), has enough of a career of her own, and there are too many “leaks” about her and her personal life.

    He seems to like fame hungry bimbos that will go along with whatever he says and don’t talk to the press unless he tells them what to say.

    • Mar says:

      She looks pregnant!!

      • anon33 says:

        In what alternate universe does she look pregnant????

        Trust me, that is “short girl trying to make her maxi fit” by rolling it up at the waist…been there.

  17. coolio says:

    Omg why do men insist on wearing flip flops?

  18. Meg says:

    this is just like jennifer love hewitt with her guy-but at least he was working when they met and we haven’t heard of tons of debt from him

  19. Onyx XV says:

    Eva Longoria is so addicted to having a man – & any man will do! She needs to learn how to be okay with herself, BY herself.

  20. Michele says:

    She’s having a mid life crisis, she needs to get to therapy fast.
