The former Mr. Eva Longoria’s conrea was scratched by glass after bottles were thrown at W.i.P nightclub. W.i.P could lose its liquor license after 14 charges were filed against the club extending from the fight. Parker had to undergo an opteration to remove glass that penetrated 99% of his left eye.

Originally given a positive diganosis, Parker said in an interview posted on his website on Sunday, “I almost lost my eye. I’m seeing a specialist in New York with the hope of being given the all clear to play in the Olympic Games,” Parker said. “Spurs are very worried.”

Parker filed a $20 million lawsuit stating club owners are responsible for the “corneal laceration of the left eye and other injuries.” While US Weekly claimed Parker was apart of Brown’s entourage, Parker says in the suit he wasn’t sitting with either party, but has said he was with “my friend Chris Brown.”

 France’s first Olympic game is against the United States on July 29.

Lil Wayne was banned from tonight’s Oklahoma City Thunder- San Antonio Spurs game. The rapper tweeted, “Was going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena. Wow. Smh. Go Spurs!”

But it isn’t because Lil Wayne is a Spurs fan of why he is banned but rather because of Thunder guard James Harden’s girlfriend, Trina. Wayne and Trina previously dated for a year in 2007. Earlier this month, while performing a set at Miami night club Liv, Weezy professed his love for the rapstress saying, “I love you and miss you.”
