Eva Longoria
Gossip (Page 5)

Tony Parker is more than just a star point guard on the San Antonio Spurs.

He's also one of the luckiest people on the planet because he's seen Eva Longoria nude. Oh, and he's a budding rap star apparently.

The future Mrs. Eva Longoria is making like Snoop Dogg in the clip below. Parker has released a rap CD called "Balance-toi" ("Move Yourself" in colloquial French) and it's currently on sale in his native country.

"I'm so proud of Tony," Longoria said to People magazine. "He is such a talent."

On the album, the hoops star spits rhymes about Eva and even duets with Jamie Foxx.

So, does Parker have game? "The disc is selling," says an employee at the Virgin Megastore on the Champs-Elysées in Paris.

Let's take a look here and see if Parker really has any Game:

If you thought Eva Longoria nude was hot, take a look at this image below.

Granted, the Desperate Housewives star is clothed - but she's also cleaning up at poker. And that's sort of hot, isn't it? The fiancee of Tony Parker won a charity tournament on Sunday, donating the winnings to Padres Contra El Cancer (Parents Against Cancer).

We hope the victory makes Longoria feel better in the face of a close fashion face-off with Vanessa Minnillo. After all, we'd like to see the MTV VJ play cards. No, seriously. Maybe a little strip poker with Nick Lachey?

Anyway. Eva and her co-stars have been waiting on Marcia Cross to return from taking care of her babies before they resume their cast poker games. In the meantime, it's nice to see the beauty winning money for a deserving charity.

As her July 7 wedding to Tony Parker draws nearer, Eva Longoria has a surprise to spring on the event's entertainer.

"My friend Kenny Chesney is going to sing at my wedding, the Desperate Housewives star tells Cosmopolitan for its April issue. Except there's one snag:

"He just doesn't know it yet," Longoria admits.

Asked what excites her most about the impending wedding, Longoria exclaims:

"My dress, my dress, my dress! I wish I could wear 10 dresses to my wedding. It's so sad that you put it in storage and then never see it again."

It's also sad when you're losing a photo finish with Vanessa Minnillo.

Longoria is far more serious when discussing how she and San Antonio Spurs point guard Parker deal with conflict. "We never go to bed angry, which sometimes frustrates Tony because he'll be like 'Please. I have a game tomorrow. I need sleep,' " she says.

"Another rule we have is that nobody is ever right. I don't need to be right. I just want to be understood. The same goes for him," she adds.

That's actually a very intellgent, mature point of view. We hope Elizabeth Hurley and Arun Nayar are listening.

One argument they don't have, she says, is over her male pals. "I get so much crap for having friends like Jamie Foxx and Mario Lopez, who are like brothers to me. It's difficult when you're in an insecure relationship or if your partner doesn't know where he stands with you. That's not how it is with [Tony and me]."

Nope, they haven't tied the knot just yet.

But details regarding the upcoming marriage between Tony Parker and Eva Longoria are beginning to leak out.

For starters, it will take place in France.

We also know it'll be on July 7, 2007, at Château de Chantilly, a fairy-tale-like castle north of Paris. How come? Because Parker thinks 07-07-07 is a lucky day to get hitched on.

Apparently, simply having seen Eva Longoria nude isn't lucky enough for this guy.

Longoria, meanwhile will be traveling to France in February with event planner Mindy Weiss to finalize details for the reception, including ordering the flowers, food and cake. She could also ask Kara Janx for advice.

Finally, designer Monique Lhuillier will create Longoria's dress for the big day, a source says. Eva could ask newly engaged actress Keri Russell for help, too.

When she's not playing basketball at 4 a.m. with Justin Timberlake, where can you find Eva Longoria.

Posing nude, of course. With her private regions covered by a few well-placed chains.

We're not sure how Tony Parker feels about the photo shoot, but we're pretty much okay with it. Just one question:

Will Vanessa Minnillo once again emulate Longoria? We'd like to think so.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria watches her share of basketball - but does she really watch the game, or just one of the players? Clearly, her mind is on one thing alone: Her fiance (and San Antonio Spurs point guard), Tony Parker!

The Cleveland Cavaliers' mascot, Moondog, watches his share of hoops as well. Every home game, in fact. But unlike Eva, this affable canine has become a student of the game - so much so that he remains focused even with smoking hot actresses next to him...

Incidentally, LeBron James and the rest of the Cavs heeded Moondog's sage advice and clamped down defensively, defeating Eva and Tony's Spurs, 82-78.

It's a language of love, so it's only natural Eva Longoria would want to learn French. There's just one problem:

Her France-raised fiancé, Tony Parker, doesn't wanna teach it to her.

"He's terrible. He always wants to speak English," Longoria told People magazine Thursday while in London to open the annual Harrods Winter Sale. "I try to remind him but he always forgets and says it's easier and faster to speak English, but I want to understand."

So the actress decided to master French the hard way â€" in a classroom.

"I couldn't speak French before Tony. All I knew how to say was, 'My name is Eva.' I went to a Berlitz French school this summer, doing about five hours a day."

The Desperate Housewives star seems as determined to learn new words as we are for Ali Lohan to remain young and innocent.

Longoria spent Christmas in her home state of Texas and will be back in the U.S. for a quiet Dec. 31. "Nothing is planned for New Year's Eve," she said. "Tony plays that date so I'll be watching, sitting at a Spurs' game."

She continues shooting Desperate Housewives until April before taking a new film role.

"I'm picking my next summer movie as we speak. I don't know what it will be yet. I've read a lot of scripts and I am amazed at how many movies will be made next year. I'm a big fan of the romantic comedy and would love to do another one."

She will NOT, however, be getting it on with Beyonce on screen, as rumors had it. Sorry, guys.

Forget her match-ups with Jessica Simpson.

Vanessa Minnillo has moved on to another cuteness competition. The beauty in blue (below) is now involved in a foxy face-off with another sexy starlet.

And Eva Longoria appears to like the same outfit in pink. But the question remains, Hollywood gossip followers:

Which look do you like better?

The initial reaction of Eva Longoria, upon her engagement? Shock.

"I was heading home from a long day on the (Desperate Housewives) set," the actress told People magazine. He had been playing in Utah, so I was just shocked to see him in L.A. I thought it was so weird, sort of, 'Why are you here? What's going on? Oh my God! It's happening!' "

And then it happened: at Longoria's home in the early-morning hours, surrounded by rose petals and candles, Tony Parker fell to one knee â€" "I'm a traditional guy," he says â€" and, having already told both of their families, popped the question.

Eva said she "cried [her] eyes out" and was especially impressed by how nervous Parker was.

The NBA player, meanwhile, was probably just thankful Mario Lopez wasn't in his lady's bed.

Beverly Hills jewelry designer Jean Dousset, a friend of the couple, designed Longoria's five-carat-plus emerald-cut diamond ring with Parker. It boasts 247 accenting diamonds. That's almost as many diamonds as hot guys Jordana Brewster has dated.
Naturally, it didn't take the actress long to start spreading the news among her Wisteria Lane neighbors.

"Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman and I are really, really close," she says. "Telling them was really exciting."

They had some tough times.

We were afraid Tony Parker and Eva Longoria might never get to the point.

But we're now proud to announce: the pair is engaged.

"Eva and Tony are officially engaged," Longoria's rep, Liza Anderson, offers as proof. "The couple have [sic] never been happier."

Parker, a point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, flew into Los Angeles after his game on Wednesday night and surprised Longoria at her home as she got off work, according to the actress's rep, who added:

"The proposal was romantic and perfect."

Let's hope Rupert Friend was taking notes.

The couple plans to wed in France next summer in what they describe as a "big, happy ceremony with lots of family and friends."

It almost didn't happen, though. Rumors flew that Eva and long-time friend, Mario Lopez, were an item. It's possible The Hollywood Gossip spread some of those.

But we apologize. We hope we can still snag a wedding invite. We promise not to bring Brandon Davis as a date.
