San Antonio Spurs point guard and Longoria hubby Tony Parker was relegated to carrying purses for his wife and Hayden Panettiere at the same Los Angeles eatery. Parker held the two ladies’ handbags as they walked the red carpet for the Whaleman Foundation Benefit Dinner, hosted by Panettiere.

This could be written off as a harmless act of chivalry, but this isn’t the first time Parker has been loaded down with a woman’s bags.

You should really have a purse assistant. Or pass the task to one of your guests. At least one person at the party would have been better off if he’d had something to occupy his hands.
