Tony 'n' Eva sittin' in a tree
Sacre bleu! Ay caramba! And whatever other condescending, mildly racist foreign phrases that would fit the situation. The point is, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria are now officially man and wife. They got it done today in Paris, in a civil ceremony officiated by the mayor. The real, star-studded church ceremony will take place tomorrow, on the day they've been publicizing for months, 7-7-07. According to this story, French law dictates that a mariage isn't official until a civil ceremony is conducted.
In an interview in Le Parisien (if you're fluent in the language or your computer is equipped with good translation software, here's the paper), Parker calls himself "the luckiest guy in the world.'' If that dress she wore to the ceremony is any indication (she changed into another one for the actual event), he's not lying.
According to this, three of the other four Desperate Housewives will attend tomorrow, all but Marcia Cross. You experts on the show out there, you know which one she is; I don't. Meanwhile, Parker becomes the first European player to win NBA Finals MVP and then marry a super-fine TV star. (It almost was Magic Johnson, except for the part about being European and marrying a TV star.)
The best news: they reportedly had all their pre-nuptial celebrations in St. Tropez, including a bachelor party for Parker. And by all reports, Pacman Jones wasn't anywhere near it.
Comments
David: I don't usually write in like this but I'm a little curious about why you had to mention something about racial comments in regard to the Parker-Longoria wedding. I know, it's in the genes right? But seriously, only the wwe crowd and your basic red neck would comment like you suggested. Not they could even pronounce sacre bleu but to them this is just a marriage between a "n" and a "spic" (their words not mine) so to them it probably doesn't even count. Others who probably just fell out of the trees would say, "What's a good lookin' gal like that see in that guy?" And we all know what "that" guy translates to. But for the rest of us who are halfway enlightened, we see this as two people with fame and money who got married and nothing more, really.
Why do you try to find a Klansman under every sheet? The story the other day about the old white guys being hypocrites and wanting money from the young black guys was in my opinion a bit of a stretch to say the least Not everything is so black and white, pun intended. And don't tell me "I's jus' grows up dat way." You're better than that.
