NBA star Tony Parker is suing NYC nightclub W.i.P. for $20 million over a scratched cornea he claims he suffered during a fight involving singer Chris Brown and members of hip-hop star Drake entourage.

According to Parker, the SoHo-based venue and its operators were negligent in security and supervision, which allowed the fight to take place.

But can he win the legal stoush?

“Anybody can sue, but how could the club have foreseen [the incident]?” HLN anchor Jane Velez-Mitchell told Celebuzz, answering questions in our #AskJane video feature.

What else did Jane have to say?

“Are they supposed to interview everyone that comes in to the club,” the vetern news woman said, answering another Celebuzz readers’ question.

“Who do you like? Who don’t you like? Who have you dated? Who did you recently break up with? It’s too much to ask for a nightclub.”

Each week, we take questions for Velez-Mitchell, who addresses these topics and more on her HLN show Jane Velez-Mitchell, at 7PM EST.

The drama continues in the case of Chris Brown and Drake‘s infamous bar brawl.

The nightclub where the fight took place is now slamming back after being slapped with a $20 million lawsuit from partygoer and NBA hoopster Tony Parker, claiming that the scuffle wasn’t their fault.

The 30-year-old Parker – aka Eva Longoria’s ex – reportedly wants the club to compensate the injuries he sustained during the altercation, which includes lacerations to his cornea allegedly caused by shards of broken glass. Parker is also suing because he feels the W.i.P. — knowing the feuding rappers — never should have let Brown and Drake into the New York City hangout.

How is the club reacting to Parker’s lawsuit?

A source close bar tells TMZ that the two hip-hop stars are not prone to violence and were therefore welcomed into the SoHo bar that night.

“Chris Brown and Drake are not Biggie and Tupac,” says the source.

Though Parker claims that the club was understaffed that night, the source denies the reports and says there were at least 15 security guards staffed during the brawl, with the owners at the door to oversee the guest list.

As the case continues to be investigated by New York Police Department, Parker says his injuries has left him out of commission for a week as he heals with “therapeutic” contact lens.  He’s scheduled to play with the French team at the Summer Olympics, but reports, “I’ll be missing the start … because I can’t do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops.”

So far, no charges have been filed or arrests have been made in relation to the fight.

However, W.i.P. has since closed its doors and turned over all video footage to law enforcement officers.

NBA hoopster Tony Parker is suing the SoHo club where Drake and Chris Brown famously brawled last week, saying he sustained injuries that have sidelined his career.

According to the NY Post, 30-year-old Parker – aka Eva Longoria’s ex – wants club W.i.P to pay him a whopping $20 million for his troubles, which he says include lacerations to his cornea, allegedly caused by shards of glass that flew when bottles did.

The basis of Parker’s suit: W.i.P. never should have let Brown and Drake into the club in the first place.

“You’re throwing gasoline on the flames,” Parker’s lawyer, David Jaroslawicz, told the Post of the club giving both Drake and Brown bottle service for the night.

Jaroslawicz even pointed a finger at pop star Rihanna, who has dated both Drake, 25, and Brown, 23, and was allegedly the root of the ruckus.

“She’s been known, like Helen of Troy, to cause trouble,” Jaroslawicz said.

Parker, meanwhile, says he’ll be out of commission for a week as his eye heals with the help of a “therapeutic” contact lens.  He’s scheduled to play with the French team at the Summer Olympics, but said, “I’ll be missing the start … because I can’t do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops.”

Jaroslawicz added that while the extent of Parker’s injuries are not yet known, they “certainly don’t improve your outside shot.”

Bradley Cooper celebrated the success of his film The Hangover Part II by enjoying a guys’ day out!

The actor took in a tennis match at the French Open alongside NBA pro Tony Parker. Both men are newly single! Bradley recently parted ways with Renee Zellweger, while Tony called it quits with wife Eva Longoria. Who do you think is the hotter bachelor? Get in on the conversation @celebuzz.

While B-Coop was enjoying his time in France, The Hangover sequel set some comedic records over Memorial Day weekend. 

The film brought in $105.8 million domestically, setting a new record for a comedy movie debut. In addition, the sequel has made $60.3 million overseas, according to studio estimates. In the movie, Bradley and the “wolfpack,” Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, wake up in Bangkok in a haze.  

It was a sad weekend for Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, who officially ended their marriage in the aftermath of Tony’s alleged cheating scandal.

Attorneys for Parker signed off on divorce papers on Friday, according to TMZ, making the couple’s separation official. The two filed simultaneous divorce papers in November following a rash of accusations linking Parker to his teammate’s wife, Erin Barry. The two reportedly carried on a text relationship that Longoria discovered, but Parker and the wife denied any romance occurred.

The two have remained mum since the sudden split. Longoria made her way down the SAG Awards red carpet on Sunday night, keeping minds off of her personal life and on her gorgeous fashion choices. She’s recently been romantically linked to Penelope Cruz’s brother, Eduardo.

Sorry, folks; despite whatever signals that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker seem to have been sending lately, there will be no reconciliation.

The Desperate Housewives beauty and the NBA star, who filed for divorce in November after three years of marriage, were reportedly recently spotted together at a barbecue restaurant in Texas (Longoria’s home state and Parker’s professional stomping ground with the San Antonio Spurs), sparking speculation that they might be patching things up. But a source tells Radar Online that it just isn’t so:

“They are not getting back together… just trying to go through their divorce amicably.”

Longoria filed for divorce in Los Angeles amid rumors that Parker had been sending racy text messages to Erin Barry, the wife of his former Spurs teammate Brent Barry, who is also going through a divorce. (A source tells Celebuzz that the text messages were innocuous, and the result of Parker and Erin consoling each other during their marital troubles.) Barry herself denied rumors of the affair on her Web site earlier this month, asserting,

“I did not have an affair with Tony Parker, nor did I pursue Tony Parker…Unfortunately, because our divorces are occurring at the same time, great speculation has been cast on our friendship. My friendship with Tony Parker had nothing to do with the end of my marriage (which is painful enough without this added drama), and to assume that we had an affair is naïve, ridiculous, and completely misguided.”

If there’s one trend that’s dominated celebrity news in 2010, it’s break-ups. With this morning’s news that Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have separated, one more couple was added to the long, long list of high-profile relationships that didn’t survive the year.

Tony Parker has just received a little bit more bad news.

TMZ reports that the NBA star—who’s currently in the process of divorcing his wife, Desperate Housewives beauty Eva Longoria—has been dropped by his Texas-based divorce lawyer, Richard Orsinger.

The reason? Well, as it turns out, Orsinger—who filed Parker’s divorce petition in Texas on November 19—also represents Parker’s former San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry, who’s also getting a divorce. From Erin Barry, the woman Parker has been accused of sexting behind Longoria’s back. Awk-waaard…

Orsinger reportedly wasn’t aware that Barry would play into Parker’s case when he took Parker on as a client, but has now dropped Parker due to conflict-of-interest concerns. 

According to sources, Parker is currently in the process of looking for another attorney. Longoria, meanwhile, has also filed divorce papers in Los Angeles.

Confused about Eva Longoria and Tony Parker‘s impending divorce? You’re not the only one. First they weren’t splitting up, then they were. Then Parker was allegedly cheating with his ex-teammate’s wife Erin Barry, then they were just friends.

Thankfully, the brilliant minds at Taiwanese news service Next Media Animation have once again stepped in to make sense of America’s celebrity culture for us. Click on the video below to get the real story on what went down between Eva and Tony. At least, the real story according to Next Media’s vision. Which is probably much more entertaining than the truth anyway.

In the days since Eva Longoria filed for divorce from her husband, Tony Parker, most of the speculation has revolved around rumors of Parker’s infidelity. But according to friends of the Desperate Housewives actress, she wasn’t exactly blameless in the couple’s marital woes.

PopEater tracked down several associates of the couple, who reveal that Longoria played a part in the marriage’s discontent. According to the friends, distance presented a major obstacle in their relationship, with Longoria based in Los Angeles and San Antonio Spurs star Parker spending much of his time in Texas. And as time went on, Longoria was increasingly reluctant to do her part to bridge that gap. Says one friend of the couple’s,

“Eva has been no angel, either. When they first got married, they both agreed to spend as much time with each other as possible. They knew it would be a challenge with them working in different states, but Eva’s part-time taping schedule for Desperate Housewives and the resources they had meant it wouldn’t be that hard.”

As time went on, however, Longoria’s commitment to traveling in order to spend time with Parker began to erode. Another pal reveals,

“[At first all] Eva wanted to do was be with Tony and build a life together, but things started to change as she got more and more sucked into the glamorous Hollywood lifestyle.”

Eventually, says yet another source, Longoria began resorting to making excuses to stick around Los Angeles, a fact that Parker quickly picked up on:

“Tony understands how important Eva’s career is to her and never wanted her to leave Los Angeles and settle with him in Texas. But then she would tell him that important meetings came up in Hollywood — which meant she had to stay in LA — and then he would see pictures of her and her friends out at restaurants and clubs. That’s when he knew he couldn’t compete.”

Apparently, absence doesn’t always make the hear grow fonder.

Who do you think is more to blame in the couple’s split, Longoria or Parker? Let us know in the comments section.

Well, this is a little awkward in retrospect, and not just because of the ill-considered wigs.

Erin Barry—wife of former San Antonio Spurs player Brent Barry—has made headlines this week as the woman who allegedly drove a wedge between Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, who announced this week that they’re getting divorced after three years of marriage. (For the record, sources tell Celebuzz that, while friends, Parker and Barry are just friends.)

But back in simpler, more free-wheeling times—2009, to be exact—Barry co-starred with the now-estranged couple in a promotional video for the Spurs that spoofed the 1978 musical Grease. With Parker as Danny Zuko, Longoria in a blonde wig as demure wallflower Sandy D and Barry as the more wanton Rizzo, the trio tried their hand at the Grease classic “Summer Nights.”

Tell you more, tell you more, you say? Why bother, when the video speaks for itself? Check it out below:

Many people might have been surprised by Eva Longoria‘s decision to divorce her husband, San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker—especially after the confusing back-and-forth that went on earlier this week—but Parker wasn’t one of them.

One day after the Desperate Housewives beauty filed divorce papers, signaling the end of her three-year marriage to Parker, the basketballer is opening up about the split, telling People magazine via a statement from his rep that it wasn’t a sudden decision:

“Eva and I have been discussing our situation privately. I was aware that she would be filing for divorce in Los Angeles.” 

Though rumors have been swirling that Parker had been unfaithful to Parker, in particular with Erin Barry, the wife of his ex-teammate Brent Barry, a source close to the athlete told Celebuzz yesterday that the two are merely good friends, and had been texting each other to express mutual support as they both experienced troubles in their respective marriage.

Parker goes on to note that he has not sought legal counsel in the matter, suggesting that the split will be amicable, and devoid of the typical ugly courtroom battles that mark many  divorces:

“I did not file for divorce in Texas and did not hire divorce attorneys in either Texas or California. We plan to continue to keep our discussions of this matter private.”

As the world still adjusts to the news of Eva Longoria and Tony Parker‘s impending divorce, Celebuzz has obtained exclusive new information about the circumstances behind their split.

A source close to Parker confirms rumors that the NBA star had sent numerous text messages to his former San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry‘s wife, Erin Barry (pictured above), but that the two had NOT shared a romantic relationship.

According to the source, the Barrys have been close friends with Longoria and Parker for some time, even spending New Year’s Eve together a couple of years ago at Longoria’s Los Angeles restaurant, Beso. The Barrys are currently in the midst of a divorce and, our source adds, Parker and Erin’s texts involved the two leaning on each other as their respective marriages went through troubles. A seemingly innocent exchange between close friends, it would seem, but Longoria appears to be prone to jealousy in her marriage to Parker.

One interesting note, Parker recently signed a four-year, $45 million extension with the Spurs. Eva waited til after that deal was signed to file for divorce.

Whatever the motive might have been, our source stresses that Parker and Longoria’s split is amicable.

Meanwhile, the Desperate Housewives has opened up about the divorce to her good friend Mario Lopez, who tells Extra! that rumors of Parker’s cheating indeed weigh heavily on Longoria’s mind:

“Eva wants everyone to know, she’s devastated by the rumors of Tony’s infidelity. She loved her husband and is heartbroken about their split. But she’s strong.”

Longoria, who married Parker in 2007, filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Earlier today, she acknowledged the split, tweeting,

“It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce. We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness.”

After a back-and-forth debate as to whether they were actually divorcing over the last 24 hours, Eva Longoria has officially filed for divorce from Tony Parker.

Longoria, who has been married to Parker since July of 2007, filed the papers in Los Angeles Superior court on Wednesday, People is reporting. Just a day earlier, TMZ reported that Parker was the one who filed for divorce in Texas, but both Parker and Longoria shot down the reports.

A rep for the couple told Celebuzz on Tuesday that the divorce reports were “100% false.” When contacted by Celebuzz again on Wednesday to clarify the divorce report, the reps said they “are not commenting at this time.”

Various publications are reporting that Parker may have been carrying on an extramarital affair, which led to the whirlwind of divorce rumors. Us Weekly reports that Parker had been carrying on a relationship with “a mutual female friend for nearly a year.”

Longoria and Parker, 35 and 27 respectively, tied the knot in a dream wedding in 2007 at a castle in France — Parker’s native country. In 2009, infidelity rumors began to surface claiming that Parker had cheated. The couple carried on, making many public appearances, including recently at the 2010 Emmy Awards. Watch them below:

Eva Longoria seems to have found the secret to reconciling her personal and professional lives.

Sporting a frilly dress, the 34-year-old Desperate Housewives actress showed up on the Los Angeles set of her show on Friday holding hands with her husband, San Antonio Spurs player Tony Parker. 

How cute. Maybe Tony can return the favor and get her out on the court for an upcoming Spurs game. Bet she has a mean jump shot.

There are lots of perks to being Eva Longoria Parker. A-list best friends like Victoria Beckham and Kate Beckinsale, a gorgeous baller husband in Tony Parker and the magic powers to grow her hair any length within a few hours.

Could Eva simply be eyeing a slinky summer hairstyle for the approaching hiatus? Or perhaps she’s getting some length on for an upcoming L’Oreal commercial?

Tell us, long or short, your thoughts in comments!

Eva Longoria watched husband Tony Parker‘s team the San Antonio Spurs beat the Los Angeles Clippers last night at the Staples Center.

She also took the opportunity to show off her short, shaggy new haircut, which give the Desperate Housewives vixen that tousled and sexy, just-rolled-out-of-bed look.

Hubby Parker’s team handily defeated the Clippers with a score of 106-78, with Parker scoring 26 points and making 10 assists. Longoria, Parker and her new ‘do celebrated at her restaurant Beso afterwards.

Eva recently told MSG.com that Tony does not watch her on Desperate Housewives, despite the fact that she watches all of his games. Including last night’s match.

There’s not enough “action” for Parker on his wife’s drama/comedy, according to Longoria.

Parker should tune in more often in the future; the girl-girl kiss between his wife and co-star Teri Hatcher should be action enough for any red-blooded man.
