So, all that p**sing in the street was a waste of every one’s time. In a further update, that it was easier to give a separate post to, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are not divorcing. Seems TMZ dropped the ball on this one, surprisingly. The couple became engaged in 2006 and married in 2007, and as the ‘breaking’ report has been admitted as totally inaccurate on all counts, they’re still together. I hate this kind of ham-fisted updating; but, yeah, there’s no divorce and that’s 15 minutes of my life that could have been spent drinking that I’ll never get back. Admitting everything in their original report was wrong, aside from the couple’s names, TMZ totally edited the content of their original post (for the sake of avoiding confusion) and replaced it with the following: ‘A rep for Eva Longoria tells TMZ our story that Tony Parker filed for divorce is not true. TMZ reported that Tony had filed for divorce. Two clerks at the Bexar County Courthouse in Texas had told us the case was filed and sealed by a family law judge.  But Eva’s rep tells us Tony did not file and does not even have a divorce lawyer. Another clerk at the courthouse now tells us she’s in charge of sealed cases and says no such case has crossed her desk.’ In other words, ‘SIKE’.

Pretty people not adding to the month’s flurry of wedding/ divorce news. Meh.

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are getting divorced. The Desperate Housewives actress and the San Antonio Spurs player have decided to end their marriage.

The couple became engaged on November 30, 2006. They married in a civil service on Friday, July 6, 2007, at a Paris city hall; the service was followed by a Roman Catholic wedding ceremony at the Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois Church in Paris, France on Saturday July 7, 2007. Longoria and Parker have no children together. However, Longoria has Parker’s initials tattooed somewhere she won’t reveal, and his jersey number, ‘Nine’, tattooed on the back of her neck. At the time of posting, no other details were revealed; nor the reason for the split.

UPDATE: Longoria’s rep is issuing denials about this story, telling Hollywood Life the reports of husband Parker filing for divorce are ‘absolutely false… completely false.’ When asked why the stories surfaced in the first place, they said they ‘didn’t know why’ and that they ‘couldn’t make further comments.’ However, TMZ, the originator of the report is sticking to their guns; they updated as follows: ‘Eva’s people tell TMZ Tony has not filed for divorce. But two court officials at the Bexar County, Texas courthouse tell us a divorce case was filed yesterday and sealed by the judge.’ I hate media p**sing matches. It’s annoying. They’re divorcing or not. There’s no real middle-ground, unless you count separation. Seems to me the news leaking caught them off-guard, perhaps. We’ll see. If papers were filed, yesterday in Texas, they’ll leak online eventually.

UPDATE: So, the original outlet admitted their sources were wrong and updated.
