New
York
(ANI):
Even
though
she
has
been
trying
to
hide
her
bad
habit,
American
actress
Eva
Longoria
Parker
was
caught
smoking
while
on
her
trip
to
Puerto
Rico.
Parker,
33,
was
spotted
smoking
several
cigarettes
this
week
as
she
strolled
the
streets
of
San
Juan,
Puerto
Rico,
where
she
is
attending
the
wedding
of
"Without
a
Trace" star
Roselyn
Sanchez.
"She
hates
to
be
photographed
smoking,"
the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
X-17
owner
Frank
Navarre
as
saying.
"But
we
get
her
once
in
a
while,"
he
added.
But
Parker
is
not
the
only
actress,
who
tries
to
hide
her
smoking
habit,
joining
her
is
"The
Hills"
star
Lauren
Conrad,
who
goes
to
great
lengths
to
hide
her
habit.
"She
avoids
it,"
Navarre
said
of
Conrad.
Others
who
try
to
hide
their
habit,
include
Britney
Spears,
though
she
has
now
gone
public,
Anne
Hathaway,
who
has
just
given
up
this
summer,
and
new
mom
Ashlee
Simpson-Wentz.
"It's
so
taboo,"
says
Antonia
Russo,
a
Manhattan
image
consultant
who
specializes
in
advising
performing
artists,
when
the
question
of
keeping
the
habit
a
secret
came
up.
There's
definitely
a
concept
of
''people
who
smoke
just
don't
care
about
themselves'' or
they're
socially
irresponsible,"
she
said.
"As
a
role
model,
you
wouldn't
want
to
be
a
part
of
that,"
she
added.
