Tony Parker and Eva Longoria are not getting a divorce

Earlier today TMZ reported a story that Tony Parker and Eva Longoria, and the couple has now released a statment saying the story is false. TMZ reported that Parker filed for divorce at the Bexar County Courthouse in Texas and apparently confirmed by two clerks at the courthouse.

The couple has been married since July 7, 2007 (7/7/07), and Longoria can often be found courtside at San Antonio Spurs games cheering on her husband.

In the statement released by Longoria’s rep, it says that Tony did not file for divorce and does not even have a divorce lawyer… or maybe he just didn’t tell her? Keep chasing #TEAMEVA!

Currently the Spurs are 8-1 tied for first in the NBA Western Conference. Parker leads the team in points with 34.2 for the season.

LeBron James a finalist for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year

Time Magazine has announced its 25 finalists for its annual “Person of the Year.”  Making the list is LeBron James. LeBron’s fellow nominees include Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Lady Gaga and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

However, LeBron does not think he deserves to be on the list telling reporters after practice, “I am who I am and I think I’m in a position of my life where I’m going to get better every day. But it’s too much.”

Online voting began today, and the public agrees with LeBron. Currently, LeBron is 24th out of 25 on the list of nominees, with a little over 5,000 votes for him.

Leading the list of nominees is Turkish Prim Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has gained attention for his stance against Israel and its relationship with Palastine, accusing Israel of “inhumane state terrorism.”

Lebron’s choice for the Time Person of the Year? -The Chilean miners, “What those guys did, the courage and what they stood for, I should be nowhere near that list. Nowhere near it.”

Last year’s winner was Chariman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernake. Time defines the award as the person who has had done the most to influence the events of the year”…. apparently, LeBron’s “Decision” TV special qualifies.
