Tony Parker Files to Divorce Eva Longoria

Tony Parker has filed to divorce Eva Longoria, even though the reverse had already taken place. This could very well mean a legal showdown in the making.
Tony's divorce petition was filed in Texas. Eva filed for divorce earlier in the week in Los Angeles, setting up a battle over where the couple's case is heard.
Texas divorces can be handled fast, in as little as 60 days. It's unclear if Tony Parker's Erin Barry sexting would be a lesser factor in one state or another.

Tony and Eva Longoria Parker are divorcing after three years.
Tony's stated reason: "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent that destroys legitimate ends of the marriage and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."
Interestingly, they have a prenup, but in Tony's petition he writes, "Petitioner believes Petitioner and Respondent will enter an agreement for the division of their estate."
Since they've already signed a prenup, the word "will" is puzzling.
Tony's petition also states, "Petitioner owns certain separate property that is not part of the community estate of the parties." We'll see if a judge agrees.
Neither Tony's lawyer nor Eva's camp has commented publicly.
Finally, in an ironic twist, Tony is being represented by attorney Richard Orsinger, the same lawyer who is repping Brent Barry ... his former teammate.
His former teammate and the husband of Erin Barry, who was just revealed as Parker's mistress / sexting buddy last week. Conflict of interest much?

Oksana Grigorieva to Lawyer: ONLY $15 Million!?

Oksana Grigorieva disavowed the $15 million settlement her lawyers got from Mel Gibson this spring not because she feared for her baby daughter, as she says, but because she felt the actor would pay a lot more to avoid the bad publicity.
We're not lawyers, but ... sounds a little like extortion to us.

Oksana Grigorieva's actions appear more questionable by the day.
A text sent June 2 from Oksana to Eric George, the lawyer who negotiated her $15 million mediation package, is laden with buyer's remorse, complaining that George never told her about a domestic violence claim, which could up the ante.
Underscoring how important the Mel Gibson tapes were in the mediation, Oksana says, "Forget about the tapes for the moment. This is the case of domestic violence."
The point - no one raised the issue of domestic violence during the mediation - it was about the tapes. Seriously shady stuff here. Was it ever really about poor Lucia?
Oksana says her relationship with Mel ended due to"Mels (sic) domestic violence, the only reason and the fact, with proof, and I run away to save my children."
Then she lays her cards on the table: "If the opposition is buying my silence, please, we have to renegotiate the custody portion and secure the monetory (sic)."
Also in the text, Oksana Grigorieva makes it clear she had a strategy all along, and aware of her strongest bargaining chip: "He doesn't want this publicity."
"I have lots of questions about the moneytory (sic) part also, i'd (sic) like us to get together and discus (sic) everything," she adds, "I am not bluffing."
Law enforcement sources say the text is part of the extortion investigation to determine if Oksana leveraged the tapes to score the $15 million package.
The theory: After signing the agreement, Oksana got greedy and decided she could get more than $15 million by adding a fresh domestic violence claim.
Was that whole "fearing for her life" bit all an exaggeration to get paid? No matter what Mel did, it's getting hard to take anything Oksana says seriously.
In other news, Mel will be front and center in court Monday as his lawyers ask the judge to strip Oksana of custody and award it to him. He'll be there in person because he wants to show how serious he is and how unstable she is.

Anne Hathaway Makes Pitch to Glee Producers: Cast Me!

Anne Hathaway took a break from posing topless this week to make a pitch to Fox: the actress wants to be on Glee!
But Hathaway has already done the work for creator Ryan Murphy. She already knows what character she wants to portray:
"I would want to be Kurt's aunt," she told reporters this week. "I have thought about it... I would like to pitch to Murphy right now that I go on as Kurt's aunt, his mother who is deceased's younger sister."

Watch Hathaway and Gyllenhaal in the trailer for Love and Other Drugs NOW and then sound off: Do you wanna see Anne Hathaway on Glee?

Wesley Snipes: Finally Headed to Jail

He may have proven that white men can't jump, but Wesley Snipes has also made it clear that felons can't avoid jail time.
The actor - who was convicted of tax evasion in 2008, but spent years going to extreme lengths to avoid his sentence - had his latest appeal rejected by a federal judge this week.
Told he “had a fair trial” and that “the time has come for the judgment to be enforced,” Snipes will finally be heading to the clink.

“Wesley is very disappointed but staying strong and positive,” his lawyer told The Orlando Sentinel.
It’s unclear when or where Snipes will start serving the sentence. So much for always betting on black, though.

Farrah Abraham: Betrayed By Baby's Grandma

Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham was shocked to learn that the grandmother of her infant daughter Sophia secretly met her and held her last summer.
"I was surprised, I felt so betrayed," Farrah said of Stormie Clark, who is estranged from the Teen Mom, but who has worked tirelessly to see Sophia.
Farrah Abraham hasn't pursued a relationship with Clark since she never approved of her son, the late Derek Underwood, dating her in the first place.

Farrah Abraham is an embattled Teen Mom, but she's a fighter.
Underwood tragically passed away in a car accident two months before Sophia was born in 2009. Since then, Clark and Abraham have been at odds.
But Clark now recalls her first - and only - "surprise" run-in with her granddaughter Sophia in June at a local park in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Star.
Farrah was not there for the secret meeting. Instead, her nanny handed over baby Sophia to Clark for a photo, which she learned about only later.
"When I saw the photo it seemed to me that Sophia didn't feel comfortable. I feel bad that she was put in that situation," Farrah now recalls.
"I will never have her in the child government day care system again."
Clark says she'll "never give up" her fight to win visitation with her granddaughter, even after an Iowa judge denied her request last month.
Regardless of Stormie's claim, Farrah, who denies claims she's been abusive, is not worried Sophia will ever end up back in Clark's arms.
"I have full custody of Sophia. I'm not concerned. Stormie is out of my life," Farrah said, and hopefully, she's right. Keep up the battle, girl!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Bad Dancing, Elderly Engagements

Sheree returned! Peter proposed! And our intern somehow managed to keep all her food down while watching the latest installment of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. A detailed recap follows...
After being MIA for most of last week's episode, Sheree came roaring back big time. In an Aston Martin no less.  After all, she needs to reward herself for surviving her arduous divorce. She's also been asked to participate on Dancing with the Stars of Atlanta, a charity event.  Because Sheree's all about giving back, she accepts the challenge and goes about proving to the world she can dance.  Can she?
In a word: NO.

Sheree and Her Aston Martin
Kim shows off her brand new, gold drenched, Napoleonic office to her kids and parents.  She also surprises Ariana with her new $60,000 bedroom.  Brielle is fuming.  Apparently a 2,000 square foot bedroom that takes up the top half of the house doesn't cut it for the fugly brat anymore.
Nene and Maloria, Cynthia's sister, prep for Cynthia's surprise engagement party.  50-year-old Peter asked for their help because he's finally popping the question after three years.  It works! Peter surprises eyelash-less Cynthia with a huge ring which elicits about as much reaction from Cynthia as watching paint dry.  Nene thought the rock showed more emotion but to each his own.   Cynthia promises Peter she won't be a runaway bride.  Mmm-hmmm.
Meanwhile, Phaedra starts packing for the impending arrival of her baby with the help of her assistant and a friend.  Labor is being induced (yes, that's her story and she's sticking to it!) and as Phaedra so eloquently put it "this baby is ready to come out of her vagina." All class she is.  P
Phaedra seems inconvenienced by this baby.  Milk?  Penis ointment?  A 50-cent piece wrapped in gauze taped to the navel?  Damn it all to hell what the doctors and nurses say, this baby's being raised country!
Sheree starts practicing for her dance debut and from what her partner, Derek Walters, and one of the judges can see, a 2x4 has more style and rhythm.  Sheree, however, is not concerned.  Whatever mirror she gazes into has her convinced that she's ready to take on the ballroom masters of the world.
Kandi and Lawrence start working in the studio on his "Closet Freak" track.  Ladyboy Lawrence has a set of pipes on him and can actually sing so Kandi knows that this single will be a hit.  Lawrence tells Kandi about Kim dissing "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing" all over town and Kandi is none too happy about that.  She's fed up with Kim's crappy, lazy attitude.  Find someone else to write your songs beeyotch!
Peter Proposal
Cynthia goes bridal gown shopping with her mom and sister to give her stylist some ideas.  She's a supermodel, after all, and can't just buy off the rack. 
She promises Mom and sis she won't be a runaway bride but she is getting overwhelmed by all this wedding business.  Mmm-hmmm.  Cynthia's afraid of being stuck in a loveless, dependent, controlling, abusive marriage like Mom was and she never wants that for herself.
The day of Sheree's big dance event arrives, as does Sheree in her Aston Martin and her glam team.  These days big "Atlanta stars" prep in public restrooms instead of dressing rooms it seems.  While Sheree continues on her delusional journey, her guests begin to arrive. 
Nene brings Gregg (trailing behind like a hound dog ) as her "date" and freezes him out for the entire night. Kim drools over Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann and his ass.  Future baby daddy?  Nene gets all hot and bothered by "black berry" 50-year-old Peter.  Who knew?! 
Kim tells Kandi she'll get vocal lessons.  Kandi has an 'uh-huh' attitude. Sheree needs to raise $5,000 for the event.  The table decides to donate $20. Wearing a costume that appears to be from Johnny Weir's reject pile, Sheree demonstrates her wooden dance moves and elicits yawns and grimaces.  The judges give her high scores proving they must be high.  Sheree's proud of herself because she moved out of her comfort zone. 
Which is exactly how the audience felt throughout this debacle... uncomfortable!

Changes Coming to Sonny with a Chance

While Demi Lovato focuses on her personal issues in rehab, producers behind her Disney Channel series have been forced to make changes of their own.
Those behind Sonny with a Chance will temporarily adjust the focus of the series while its star recovers, placing the spotlight on the program within the program, So Random!. The switch means production on season three will begin in January.

"[This] allows [Demi] the time she needs to get well, without distraction or pressure," a Disney Channel spokeswoman said. "Again, we extend our ongoing support to Demi and her family as she works to overcome personal issues."
There is no timetable for Lovato's return to singing or acting. Sources continue to debate the reasons behind her downfall, but THG simply wishes this young star a full, healthy recovery.
