New Orleans Hornets fans did their best to help their team win the Western Conference Semifinal series. Jessica Simpson masks were worn by the opposing team to help distract Tony Romo in hopes he’d losing another game. Hornets fans used a giant poster of Tony Parker’s wife, Eva Longoria, to distract Tony, and it worked. Tony missed both free throws. Tony’s team, the San Antonio Spurs, lost to the Hornets with a score of 101 to 79.

In December X17 photo agency printed a story that Tony Parker had cheated on his wife Eva Longoria with a whacko named Alexandra Paressant. Tony sued X17 for $20 million. On Friday X17 issued a sort of apology that reads:

"X17 … regret having been misled by Ms. Paressant and her representatives and apologize to Mr. Parker for any damage or inconvenience this may have caused him or his wife."

X17 doesn’t want to admit they knowingly printed a false story, because they would then be liable. TMZ reported that X17 never met Alexandra Paressant to confirm the story they ran about Tony and Alexandra cheating. In their effort to gain a bigger audience, X17 went the route of trash tabloid. At least now Tony and Eva have been vindicated. X17 didn’t do their homework, and Tony didn’t cheat.

Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez went for lunch yesterday at Cafe Med to celebrate the opening of Eva’s new restaurant, Beso, in Los Angeles. To commemorate this momentous occasion, Mario gave Eva a Cartier necklace. It may not seem like Eva has a husband, but she does, Tony Parker. In my opinion, Eva remains friends with her former lover Mario, because he’s either still a current lover, or could be in the future. It’s called keeping her options open. Guys don’t buy expensive Cartier necklaces for a woman they’re not banging, or wouldn’t like to be banging. Maybe Tony isn’t jealous because he gets some on the side too, in my opinion.

Eva Longoria and husband Tony Parker, according to a report in Star magazine, had a big fight, and Star says it happens more often than not.

The blowup Star reports on happened just five days before a story broke on X17 claiming that French model Alexandra Paressant had an affair with the married NBA star. Tony an Eva are now suing X17 for reporting a story they knew was fraudulent, and have friends close to Alexandra who say she lied, and has lied like this before. After the reported cheating scandal, Tony proclaimed, “"I love my wife. She’s the best thing in my life, and I have never been happier."

Not so, says partygoer Chris Ramirez, who attended a Christmas soiree at Eva and Tony’s San Antonio home on December 7. Ramirez tells Star magazine of a Tex Mex holiday get-together that took a turn for the worse when Eva and Tony got out into an argument. Ramirez explains, “We were all having a really nice time… I don’t know how it happened, but the conversation got dirty fast. Someone said oral sex should only be between man and wife. Then Tony chimed in, ‘A mouth is a mouth. What’s the difference?’” Tony’s comment sent Eva, 32, into a rage at her 25-year-old husband. “I can’t believe you said that! What do you mean, you’d take oral sex from anyone?”

Ramirez then described a violent aftermath, where Eva slapped her husband across the shoulder, hit him upside the head, and continued to “drink like a fish” for the rest of the evening. Another partygoer described how the spat would end. “She’s mad — tonight Tony’s sleeping in the doghouse.”

According to Star, the “doghouse” is a separate bedroom for Tony, where he keeps photos of the Spurs and his clothing because, “Eva takes up two closets in the master suite, so there’s no room for his clothes.” Apparently, Tony gets sent to the “doghouse” often, as Ramirez described, “It looks really lived in.”

Ramirez said the tension at the party made him not want to go back and, “It was just so much drama, but maybe that’s part of their relationship.”

Eva does seem like she would have a hot temper, but Tony’s money calms her down.

Alexandra Paressant made allegations that she had an affair with Tony Parker, but wife Eva Longoria is standing by her man who says she’s a liar. X17 reported the affair, and they were the only outlet who didn’t question Alexandra’s claims. Now X17 is being sued for $20 million by Tony. In 2006 Alexandra’s ex boyfriend Ronaldinho sued her for telling the press he’d been partying and having wild sex with her every night during the World Cup matches. There’s a lot more. Dana Kennedy did some digging into Alexandra’s past, and X17’s story, and she found a lot. It’s well worth the read. Click here to read Dana’s story.
