Longoria, Parker follow up with second wedding
Published 9:00 pm Saturday, July 7, 2007
PARIS – Glamour and security went hand-in-hand as NBA champion Tony Parker and “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria exchanged vows Saturday in a church across from the Louvre Museum.
The Roman Catholic ceremony at the Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois Church – frequented by French royalty in centuries past – was stage two in a weekend wedding extravaganza.
First, the mayor of Paris pronounced Parker and Longoria husband and wife in a civil ceremony Friday. Then a priest married them Saturday afternoon. Next up: an exclusive bash at a French chateau.
Longoria’s fellow “Housewives” garnered the most attention from several hundred mostly French fans outside the church, who booed bodyguards for blocking their view.
Teri Hatcher came with her 9-year-old daughter Emerson Rose. Felicity Huffman brought husband William H. Macy. Nicolette Sheridan also attended.
Village People’s traffic cop returns to duty
LOS ANGELES – Victor Willis, the original policeman in the disco band The Village People, is planning his first performance in about 25 years after completing a drug treatment program earlier this year, his publicist said.
Willis, 55, will appear at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on Aug. 31 in a show previewing his planned 2008 world tour, publicist Alice Wolf said Friday.
His “Victor Willis Disco Dance Tour” is to begin in March, Wolf said.
“He’ll come out on his motorcycle” as the cop and perform Village People hits and his solo work, she said.
Willis co-wrote hits such as “Y-M-C-A” and “In the Navy,” Village People standards in the late 1970s. He left the band in 1980.
