Ah, another Hollywood fairytale is created. This time around it involves Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and her boyfriend, Tony Parker of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. According to their spokespeople the couple is now officially engaged. Yes, I know, the world is better place with that knowledge.
The couple met back in 2004 in the Spurs locker room after Longoria told a local news reporter that Parker was her favorite player. The whole thing was caught on tape (what isn't these days?) and aired on NBA Access With Ahmad Rashad. After secretly dating for several months they officially announced they were a couple in the summer of 2005. After a brief split in September of this year Parker proposed to Longoria Wednesday night at the actress's home.
The couple will tie the knot sometime next summer, which is when our official utopia will begin. And, yes, I am being snarky.
According to some recent buzz, Eva Longoria
does not plan to renew her contract with ABC's Desperate Housewives. Longoria said, "I don't want to be on 7th Heaven -- on for 20 years and no one's really watching
and it's hanging on by a thread." Apparently, she'd rather not waste her
time on the show past her contract because she has her sights set solely upon the silver screen (she already has one
new film, The Sentinel, co-starring Michael Douglas).
I'm not that into the whole Housewives scene, but I've heard that many think the show has lost its
steam since it started out with a bang in 2004. Do you think Longoria's worrying a little too early, or are her fears
justified?
... with a Spurs championship ring on
it. Well, actually she was probably just holding it. Most likely due to the recent happenings with
herself, Parker and a police officer, the Desperate Housewives acress was
booed by Pistons fans when she was shown on the overhead scoreboard during a recent Pistons-Spurs game. She somehow
thought it was a good idea to hold up Parker's ring for all to behold. It looks like life imitates art ... if you want
to call DH art, that is.
