| Parker Feels Weird Wearing a Ring |
With all the hardware Tony Parker has racked up over the past several years playing for the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, it’s the latest addition to his collection - his wedding ring - that’s on his mind.
Parker, just back from a honeymoon with actress-wife Eva Longoria, said the band will take some getting used to.
“It’s weird, it’s weird,” Parker said Tuesday night. “I don’t wear rings. … The only ring that I was wearing is our championship rings, but you only wear that maybe two times, three times maybe. So I have to get used to it.”
Parker, 25, and Longoria, 32, married in a civil ceremony July 6 in Paris. The next day, a priest married them in a church across from the Louvre Museum, followed by an exclusive bash at a storied French chateau.
Parker said it was only on his recent honeymoon that he was able to reflect on what has been a banner year. Parker won his third championship with the Spurs, was named MVP of the finals and then exchanged vows with “Desperate Housewives” star Longoria.
“I can’t complain. I feel very blessed. It was an unbelievable year for me and for the team. And it was just great. It’s hard for me to put (in) words and explain,” said Parker, who was at a premiere party for a DVD chronicling the Spurs’ run to their fourth championship in nine seasons.
“When I was on the honeymoon I finally sat down and tried to realize what we accomplished, and me personally. But it’s still hard. I just think I’m going to realize that later on. When you look at your career, I’m going to say, ‘Man, 2007, it was a great year,’” Parker added.
Parker said Longoria - in a silk wool and silk gazar scoop-back mermaid gown embroidered with silver metallic designed by Angel Sanchez - looked “amazing” and “beautiful” on their wedding day and that the event was unbelievable.
Besides his ring, Parker is also getting accustomed to the ever-present paparazzi.
“It’s not like Brad Pitt, or Britney Spears. It’s not that bad. And when we’re in San Antonio it’s OK,” he said. “It’s more for Eva, it’s not me. I’m just there holding hands, they take pictures. It’s her world.”
And as for his ring, Parker said he’ll do his best to keep track of it before and after games.
“A lot of my teammates told me they lost it like five or six times,” Parker said. “So I’m going to try to lose it only one or two times.”

Longoria and Parker Marry
in Religious Ceremony |
One day after officially tying the knot in a small civil ceremony in Paris, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker have said their vows again—this time in front of over 250 friends and family in a lavish church ceremony.
The festivities were held on Saturday at the Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, which was decorated with more than 1,000 flowers. Celebrity guests including Ryan Seacrest, Mario Lopez, Sheryl Crow, Jessica Alba, William H. Macy, and Longoria's co-stars Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan were on hand to witness the Desperate Housewife and her basketball champion, 25, say, “I do.”
Longoria, 32, walked down the aisle in a couture Angel Sanchez mermaid gown made of silk wool with silk metallic embroidery, a scoop back and a long train.
The hour-long service was officiated by Father Dominic Schubert, who exclusively tells Usmagazine.com, "The couple wanted a quiet church wedding and now they have been married by God.” He continued, “"They wanted proceedings to be low-key and dignified and they are extremely happy with how everything went.
We were delighted that they were able to celebrate their love in front of so many family and friends.”
After the wedding ceremony guests were driven off in buses to the reception at the Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte, a 17th century chateau outside Paris. VIP guests and family members left in grey Mercedes vans, while Eva and Tony were chauffeured in a black Rolls Royce Phantom. "The crowds of hundreds of fans outside went wild and shouted, ‘congratulations’ to them in chorus as they drove out," an onlooker tells Us.
Longoria and Parker were engaged in November of 2006, after 2 years of dating. Since their engagement, they've been plagued with rumors of a split, and even a sex-strike. Today, those rumors were squashed once and for all.Labels: celebrities, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Jessica Alba, Mario Lopez, photos, Ryan Seacrest, Sheryl Crow, Teri Hatcher, Tony Parker, wedding |

Teri Hatcher and James Denton Talk About
Their Desperate Housewives Wedding |
Teri Hatcher and James Denton, cast members on Desperate Housewives who play Susan Mayer and Mike Delfino, reveal their sentiments about their onscreen wedding, which will be featured on Sunday’s episode at 9/8C on ABC.
In the previous episode of Desperate Housewives, viewers learned that Susan decided to marry Mike instead of Ian, played by Dougray Scott. However, Gabby, played by Eva Longoria, took the opportunity to use Susan’s wedding to get married to Victor, played by John Slattery. Gabby offered $10,000 when Susan objected to the idea. After much arguing, the two girls eventually made up.
The question is what will now happen to Susan’s wedding? According Hatcher, Susan will get married in the forest on Sunday. "I think it is a scene that is really sweet and very simple," Hatcher has told ET Online. "After three years of waiting, I feel the audience will be satisfied. When we did the read-through of the script, Felicity [Huffman] was at the other end of the table and she went, 'Ah.' I thought, if you can make Felicity Huffman, go 'ah,' you're good."
As for Denton, he is a little worried about what will be next for Susan and Mike. He has told ET, "Unlike my marriage where the flame never died, in this TV marriage, it is something that I am concerned about. I think the writers are concerned, too, because you don't want to jump the shark. You want people to still be really fascinated with them."
On the other hand, Denton is aware that this TV marriage will bring forth a new saga to the drama. "Mike is going to be such a fish out of water with Julie [Susan’s daughter], I think there is going to be a lot of comedy from that. Plus, Mike still has a lot of stuff in his past that may come back to be a little difficult for them," he has added.

Eva Has Her Birthday Cake,
Not Seen Eating It Too |
Eva Longoria took a break from all her wedding planning to help launch Bebe Sport (and celebrate her 32nd birthday) in LA last night. Eva was named the face of the new branch of bebe in January, but this is the first big event where she's strutted her spokesmodel stuff. In other Eva news, her big day, July 7, is fast approaching (okay, fine, like 3.5 months) and she's obviously excited to gush about her plans. She even recently told Marie Claire that she wants her friend Kenny Chesney to play at the reception. Well played, Eva, cause now it could be totally awkward if he says no.Labels: Bebe Sport, birthday, Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria, Marie Claire, wedding |
