Eva's annoying gong

Eva Longoria is making her neighbours lives a misery by banging a gong at 5.30am every morning.

The 'Desperate Housewives' star, who is dating US basketball star Tony Parker, reportedly performs the act as part of her new morning ritual.

It is believed Eva carries out the ritual to help her "spiritually connect" with Tony on a daily basis.

A friend of the actress said: "She's driving her neighbours nuts."

It seems Eva has a reputation for odd behaviour.

Earlier this year, the Latin star revealed she won't eat egg yolks - because she hates the colour yellow.

Eva, who stars opposite Michael Douglas in new movie 'The Sentinel', says the bright colour has "creeped" her out since she was a child.

She confessed: "In the morning, I always eat egg whites.

"When I was little I hated the colour yellow, so since I was five my mum made me egg whites. I still don't like yellow."
