Links: The Bells of Longoria
SLAMonline takes you to the wedding of the century…
Believe it or not, I wasn’t invited to the recent wedding of Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. I know, I know — a huge faux pas from Parker to forget to invite a representative from the best hoops outlet in the media world.
But thanks to the fine work of paparazzi from across Europe, we can at least take a look at the pomp surrounding the circumstance…
• Gregg Popovich miraculously emerged from his coma just in time to attend the ceremony.
• DIAW: “He said what?”
TURIAF: “I’m not sure. You have to pay to watch the video online, and I’m not about to do that. All I know is that Kobe was like, I want a trade. And then he didn’t want to be traded. And then he wanted a trade again. I was like, crazy American!”
• Danny Ferry and Mike Brown knew they weren’t on the best of terms with Parker, but they were still disappointed that the seats they were assigned for the ceremony weren’t a little closer to the action.
• Even though Matt Bonner wasn’t invited, the Red Rocket showed up with his new disposable camera to snap pictures of the other guests arriving by bus.
• Tony was surprised and shocked when Eva deemed his t-shirt “too casual” to wear during the ceremony.
• “His name is what? Jackie Butler? And he makes how much money per year? OK, I’m heading over. Does my hair look OK?”
• Thierry Henry got a little overzealous after Tony asked him to keep an eye on things, here attempting to tackle Tony’s father, and later trying to headbutt Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoe.
• Even the normally unflappable French were confused to see Isaac Hayes trailing Jessica Alba around all weekend.
• “Oui, oui, and for ze honeymoon, we’re going to Euro Disney!”

The B-ball culture is soooo poor in France that medias talk waaaayyyy more about TP+eva mariage than TP’s MVP Finals trohy!
I mean everybody can get married but how ’bout being the best player during the NBA Finals in the Championship team!?!?!
THAT IS HUGE!
The wedding was so “people” that Eva just ignored the notorious gay… excuse me, the notorious guy who was about to marry her & TP:
PARIS MAYOR, Bertrand DELANOE!
She probably thought that he was a “flamboyant” bouncer (with a celeste blue jacket) in front of the gates of the Paris VIth city hall.
THAT WAS FUNNY!

I thought Baron was just doing it for the playoffs, but maybe he’ll never shave again…

bootlace says:
Since we are already deep in gossip talk: Is it true Jessica Alba broke up with Cash Warren (who happens to be one of B-Diddys best friends)? If so, Baron’s up to no good.

Lang you should be entering SLAM’s caption contests. I think you’d be a couple of baseball caps richer.

I wonder if Thierry Henry had to be rotated at the wedding. And if he was, was he ok with it?

Renton says:
Props for the Ferry / Brown joke. Brilliant.
And who’s the young lady next to Pop? If that’s his daughter (does he have any?) I would like to meet her. Sometime. Now. Imagine that, having Greg Popovic as your father-in-law. Can you still call him “Pop”? Or would he give me a pop in the face?

This reminds me of when you’d take those Yahoo pics after the Grammys or something and completely fill the Links like this. Some things won’t change.

SLAM ONLINE | » The Champs are here… says:
[…] This isn’t the only cover to come on sale this week with Tony Parker on the cover. Of course, even though we did poke some fun at Tony and Eva’s big event, our legitimate coverage has nothing to do with weddings (though if celeb-mag buyers want to pick us up, we welcome the newsstand sales). Nope, your boy TP got the cherished “champs cover” by earning it on the court with his MVP performance against the Cavs. Things move so fast in basketball now (Marcel Mutoni has posted like 18 newsworthy NBA columns since I started a rough-draft of this one when we got early copies of the issue in) that the Spurs title seems like old news. But that’s kind of absurd. I hope for the sake of everyone in the San Antonio organization that they are still enjoying the fruits of their year-long labor, considering they haven’t even been world champs for a month. […]

NBA FAN says:
LOL at “the wedding of the century” label. I hope you were being sarcastic when saying that. Nobody cares about these two getting married (although Eva tried her hardest to promote it till the end). I feel sorry for Tony, I mean his new wife is such a publicity hound, and he’s young so he just goes with the flow. The guy is so whipped, he’s two steps away from being Doug Christie. As much as I like Tony Parker, I give this marriage two years tops (and that’s being nice about it). But hopefully for Eva, it will last longer considering that her 15 minutes is almost up with Desperate Houswives and she’ll need some steady income to still come in, sad but true.
