Did Tony Parker Cheat on Eva Longoria with Teammate's Wife?

Eva Longoria(Desperate House Wife actress) found hundreds of text messages to husband Tony Parker(NBA Player) from the wife of one of his teammates, the actress tells pal Mario Lopez of Extra.

The woman's identity wasn't revealed nor was the name of the San Antonio Spurs player. A source tells PEOPLE the woman was actually the wife of a former, not current, teammate.

Longoria, 35, filed for divorce on Wednesday amid reports that Parker, 28, cheated on her. The divorce petition cites "irreconcilable differences" and Longoria is seeking spousal support.

Longoria says that Parker cheated on her earlier in their marriage and that he kept in touch with the woman on Facebook, according to Lopez.

"She is devastated, she wants us all to know that," Lopez says. "But she's strong."

Three years after a storybook wedding in a European castle, Eva Longoria filed for divorce Wednesday from basketball star Tony Parker.

The Desperate Housewives star's documents were filed in Los Angeles Superior Court just one day after her rep denied that Parker had done the same in a Texas court.

The petition cites only the standard "irreconcilable differences" for the split. But this past week the couple have been rocked with infidelity rumors, with claims that Tony has been unfaithful.

Man Shoots TV Over Palin Dance

NOVEMBER 17--Like most Americans, Steven Cowan has been perplexed by Bristol Palin’s (Sarah Palin's daughter) curious ability to keep advancing in TV’s "Dancing with the Stars" competition.

However, unlike other viewers, Cowan, 67, allegedly became so enraged by Palin’s success that he actually fired a shotgun round into his television, triggering a 15-hour standoff with Wisconsin cops.

According to a criminal complaint, Cowan’s wife called police Monday evening to report that her husband had blasted the TV and was threatening to kill himself. Cowan, who had been drinking, became angry while watching Palin, 20, perform on the ABC program.

As Palin, pictured at left, was dancing, Cowan “jumped up and swore, saying something to the effect of, ‘The fucking politics.’ Steven was upset that a political figure’s daughter was dancing on this particular show when Steven did not think that she was a good dancer,” the complaint notes. Cowan is pictured in the above mug shot.

Janice Cowan told Dane County Sheriff's Office deputies that she called 911 after her husband blasted the TV and then pointed the shotgun at her. She added that Cowan warned her that he would kill himself if she brought anyone back to their home in the town of Vermont.

After a lengthy standoff with cops, Cowan surrendered yesterday at 11 AM. He is facing disorderly conduct and weapons charges.

He was sitting in the Dane County jail last night when Palin landed a spot in the “Dancing with the Stars” finals. However, a sheriff’s spokesperson told TSG that Cowan “currently does not have access to television.”

The Athlete: Ethiopia's first Foreign Language Oscar® contender film

Those of us who were around at the time will recall the most memorable moment of the Rome Olympics in 1960. An unknown Ethiopian barefoot marathon runner, Abeba Bikila won the Gold, becoming the first black African to win any kind of Olympic gold.

He did it again in Tokyo four years later, winning by a record margin.

Now there’s a film about Bikila, and it’s another first, Ethiopia’s first Oscar® contender in the Foreign Language Film category. HollywoodNews.com spoke to its co-director/writer Davey Frankel. He told us that these marathons were just the beginning of Bikila’s story in his film “The Athlete.”

“The real inspiration comes later, after a tragic accident changes Bikila’s life, forcing him to face challenges he could never have anticipated,” says Frankel.

It’s an ambitious film for a low budget independent. It was shot from the Arctic Circle to the Equator. Scenes of the real Bikila running those historic races was integrated with shots of the actor portraying him in the film, Rasselas Lakew, who is the other co-director/writer.

Addis Gyms Bouncing with Hip Hop

By MIREILLE DE VILLIERS

SPECIAL TO FORTUNE.

Dancing is no strange thing to Addis Abeba, the capital city of a country where dancing forms a fundamental part of celebrations and social gatherings after dark. This is a country where no bar is likely to tell its clientele not to dance, despite there being no designated dance floor.

Most local restaurants also have a penchant for very loud music, to the point where lip-reading becomes the post practical means of communication.

However, some people find it very easy and almost prefer dancing as a way of expressing themselves.

“I love dancing,” she told Fortune after a hip hop dance class in Alem Fitness Centre on Bole Road, located next to Friendship Mall. “Sometimes, at home, I just close my bedroom door, put on some music, and dance.”

The class ends in some freestyle dancing. All the participants, who up till then were in a neat line facing the mirrored wall and following the steps as presented by Fahmi Kassahun, the instructor, form a circle and take turns dancing solo.

They do not illustrate what they have just “learned” but dance however they want, by a system of tagging the next person when their turn is over. Judging by the way she dances, Entu loves this part especially. She also picks the person to follow her, not by tagging her, but by miming to her to go.  

Fahmi, 22, has been dancing for 22 years, he joked to illustrate how much a part it is of him.

“When I dance, I feel something, like I do not have to pretend, like I am my real self right then,” he told Fortune. more
