Eva Longoria - Longoria Cut-out Jinxes Her Basketball Star Husband
Cheeky basketball fans distracted EVA LONGORIA's husband TONY PARKER during a crucial play-off game on Tuesday (12May08), by brandishing a life-sized cardboard cut-out of his sexy wife in the stands.
Parker was playing for his San Antonio Spurs team in a crucial game against the New Orleans Hornets, with the Spurs bidding to retain the NBA (National Basketball Association) Championship they won last year (07).
But the Desperate Housewives star's beau fluffed two key shots, seemingly put off by a mischievous fan waving a cut out of Longoria in a sexy pose.
San Antonio lost, and the team's chances of making it through to the NBA Finals in June (08), now hang in the balance.

Joan Collins - Collins Falls For Charming Dr Who Tennant
Movie icon JOAN COLLINS has hinted she may be interested in a cameo role on legendary British sci-fi series DOCTOR WHO - after she fell for the charms of the show's star DAVID TENNANT.
The Dynasty star visited the set after being hounded by her grandchildren to arrange a guided tour of the BBC show's set - and expected to be bored by the backstage activities.
But Collins soon became enamoured with Scottish actor Tennant, after he politely spoke to her grandchildren, who had accosted him with questions about his famous character.
She says, "I have seldom met an actor more gracious and charming to visitors to a film set. For 15 minutes David Tennant patiently answered all the children's questions.
"As one who has spent most of their adult life on a sound stage, I was feeling quite blase about visiting the set of Doctor Who.
She adds, "The thought amused me because of the intense excitement of nine-year-old Miel and Weston, four, my daughter Tara's children, who had barely slept the previous night in breathless anticipation."

Amy Winehouse arrested on drug charge
LONDON (Reuters) - Amy Winehouse was arrested on suspicion of drug offenses on Wednesday, police sources said.
The Grammy-winning soul singer, who was arrested for assault less than two weeks ago but released with a warning, was being held after she turned herself in at a London police station.
"At 1 p.m. (1200 GMT) on Wednesday, a 24-year-old woman attended a London police station by arrangement," police said in a statement. "She was arrested in connection with alleged possession of a controlled drug."
Police declined to give more details.
Winehouse was held overnight in a cell last month but was released without charge after admitting assault by slapping a man with her hand.
Winehouse, whose battle against drug addiction has often overshadowed her recording success, is said to be worth an estimated 10 million pounds ($20 million) in the latest Sunday Times Rich List.
Winehouse did not attend the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in February, but still managed five big wins, including record and song of the year for "Rehab" and best pop vocal album for her breakthrough release, "Back to Black."

Michael Eavis denies Gilmour snub
Bizarre's Smart Gordon is a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, tucked up in a mystery and left to moulder at the back of a puzzle. Is he a lover or a fighter? A geezer or a geek? And, most crucially, does he really like David Gilmour? It's difficult to tell.
We only ask because Smart Gordon has published a follow up to his story about the Pink Floyd frontman being rejected by Michael Eavis as an alternative to Jay-Z.
Yesterday's piece was quite strident, calling Eavis "dangerously out of touch" with his public, as if the septuagenarian farmer was about to invite them to imbibe cyanide and celebrate the end of days. Today, however, Gordon's tone is different; more conciliatory, in fact.
"Michael Eavis has been kind enough to respond to my tale about turning down an offer from Pink Floyd's David Gilmour to play at Glastonbury.
"The festival organiser said of the guitarist's offer: 'By then all the bands were already in place for this year. We've got a wonderful line-up and I couldn't bump one of the artists off, even for him. Hopefully we'll be able to arrange it for another year.' Thanks for clearing that up."
So, 24 hours after going full gun on a story, Gordon now looks like a child writing a thank you letter for a pair of socks. Why? Has he woken up and decided that Dark Side of the Moon is a bunch of self-indulgent rubbish? Has he just got bored? Like we say, that man's a conundrum.
With the previous item in mind, it's perhaps not surprising to find that Smart Gordon's opinion on Lily Allen is shifting around like George the teenage breakdancer.
Here he is on April 14: "It's nice to see LILY ALLEN smiling again. The singer larked around with her headwear in London this weekend - changing from safari hat to Sherlock Holmes' deerstalker."
Here, however, is Smart Gordon today: "Lily Allen is adding lesbian vampire to her list of, er, talents."
Why the "er" Gordon? Don't you know that such qualifiers might stop Lily from smiling, the very thing that you believe to be "nice"?
Anyway, Gordo's item about Lily taking a cameo role in her mate James Corden's big-screen project Lesbian Vampire Killers (sounds a bit Shaun of the Dead-lite to us) continues in the same vein before segueing into an attack on Allen by the increasingly vituperative Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard.
Says Luke: "I find it funny she's a musician now because she never used to be into music at school. I don't really like her music all that much."
Luke's latest album, Konk, fell to number 31 in the charts this week.
Lest it seem that we're Smart Gordon obsessed, here's a little bit of Kim Dawson from Kim Dawson's Playlist for ya. (By the by, has anyone considered the prospect of giving over the column, for one day only, to one half of the Moldy Peaches? Kimya Dawson's Playlist does have a ring to it.)
Anyway, Kim has been talking to Music Weekly guests the Mystery Jets about their anticipated hit Two Doors Down.
"We discovered the joys of Eighties music accidentally listening to Magic FM," the band explained. "Phil Collins is hideously underrated and a big inspiration."
Interesting remarks. On the one hand, Phil Collins is hideously underrated. But only because the degree of esteem in which he is held by music fans falls on the negative scale. On the other hand, you're hardly a 21st-century indie band if you can't ironically cite uncool artists as influences. So we remain unclear as to quite whether the Jets are having a laugh here or not. If they get a support slot on the next Genesis tour, we guess we'll learn the truth.

Perhaps the ultimate lapidator careen ring, Northern California trio Sleep's career wafted in and out of focus from within their self-mandated cloud of marihuana fume. In their unretentive time together, the grouping issued some of the heaviest, virtually uncompromising doom metal albums ever recorded, leaving a fable far exceptional the actual volume of their production.Formed in the late 80's in San Jose, California by bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros, guitarists Matt Pike and Justin Marler and drummer Chris Haikus, Sleep immediately john Drew comparisons to under-appreciated 80's doomsters like the Obsessed, Pentagram and especially Saint Vitus. Their sludgy 1991 debut was named Volume One in award of their transonic godfathers Black Sabbath, merely it wasn't until Marler's release (reportedly to turn a thelonious Sphere Monk!) and the discharge of 1993's Sleep's Holy Mountain that their own, unique fate metal vision rightfully began approach into focal point. The album became a favourite of the lowering metal agitate, and Sleep were heralded aboard other bright retro-rocking groups like Kyuss and Monster Magnet as leaders of the newly emerging stoner john Rock / condemn metal scene. Such was the buzz surrounding the chemical group, that following a short European circuit load-bearing number 1 generation doomsters Trouble and English hopefuls Cathedral, Sleep was reportedly offered an unprecedented six-figure deal by London Records. But instead of grabbing their opportunity at mainstream stardom for all it was worth, Sleep vowed to turn over even deeper into their incredibly heavy and work-shy intelligent or else. After nearly deuce years of writing and revising material for their succeeding record album (to be named Dopesmoker, non surprisingly) amidst abundant weed wasting disease, the trio lastly delivered their long-awaited epic, now named Jerusalem, to London Records. But to their label's surprise, Jerusalem comprised a single, 60-minute magnum piece to cannabis which the band refused to cut or split up into sections under whatever portion. A nail impasse ensued, ligature up both parties in red River tape for some other deuce years. Finally, having smoke-cured their entire immediate payment advance through their bongs, Sleep decided to break up rather than giving up the album. Guitarist Matt Pike went on to form a new, more energetic weighed down metal band called High on Fire, patch drummer Matt Haikus eventually re-united with origination guitar player (and now ordained monastic) Justin Marler in The Sabians. In the lag, an unauthorised variant of Jerusalem was quietly released by Rise Above Records, but it wasn't until 2003 that a purportedly bona fide and fully endorsed interlingual rendition of Dopesmoker eventually reached record storage shelves, delivery the tortuous Sleep saga to a close at last.
