Eva Longoria Gives Go-Ahead For Tony Parker's Bachelor Party

Forget reports that "Desperate Housewives'" Eva Longoria has decreed that there'll be no bachelor party for her fiancé, NBA star Tony Parker. Longoria is not that desperate a future housewife, says her rep, who adds, "That was the most ridiculous rumor I've ever heard."

One published account declares that Longoria believes bachelor parties "are just asking for trouble" and objects to everything about bachelor parties in general -- cigars, alcohol, and, of course, strippers.

Eva Longoria Gives Go-Ahead For Tony Parker's Bachelor Party

"It's completely untrue. They haven't even discussed it, and he probably will end up having a bachelor party," says her rep. She adds that Eva and Tony "haven't even set the wedding date for this summer."

Meanwhile, Longoria completed the upcoming comedy "How I Met My Boyfriend's Dead Fiancee" between "DH" camera calls. She stars in the story about a psychic bothered by the spirit of her boyfriend's former intended, with Paul Rudd and Lake Bell.

THE INSIDE TRACK: Rickie Lee Jones is setting off on a 15-city concert trek Feb. 8 in support of her album, "The Sermon on Exposition Boulevard." "It will start in Boston, and the next date will be in New York," reveals the songstress, whose record was inspired by the words of Jesus Christ, and includes some verbatim passages from the New Testament.

"It's been a long time coming," says the artist, who was raised Catholic but is now quick to tell us she is not a Christian. "I come to this with a joyful love of the good rabbi's good teachings," she says. Lee Cantelon, whose "The Words" book/spoken word project sparked the album, is Christian, however. And "he's always saying that unfortunately now the most visual symbol of Christianity is the televangelist -- which is quite the antitheses of the image I have, of workers out in the field helping those in need and fighting for their rights. I am bothered by guys in $4,000 suits raising money for their churches, and in my view, placing themselves as the deity."

In fact, with her "Sermon on Exposition Boulevard," Jones finds she's placed herself between two camps with whom she doesn't agree. On one side, the televangelists, and on the other, those who "feel it's hip and cool to be anti-Christian, while somehow it's not hip and cool to be anti-Buddhist or anti-Jewish. These are wonderful words, and to me, there's no reason people can't come to these words with as much neutrality as they come to the other great prophets."

Jones will be featured on a PBS "Soundstage" concert special Feb. 22.

VIDEOLAND VIEW: "We have far more people than we could ever accommodate," acknowledges Judge Glenda Hatchett, whose TV courtroom continues to burst at the seams with people wanting help. Though she takes her job seriously when it comes to putting people on the right track, Hatchett admits it can be taxing. "It is more difficult than it appears on the surface because you're dealing with people's lives. You have to have a sense of passion and really want to do this kind of work because it's much more involved than just saying, 'You hit my car. You owe me $500.' It's very emotional when you're talking about families and children," she points out.

Hatchett recalls dealing with a situation in which paternity of a child was under question this year, with "a young man who had grown up in foster care. He was hoping the baby was his, and the woman played him along because she knew he was a good guy. It ended up not being his baby, and it was so hard to see him hurt like that because he had never had a family and desperately wanted one. I took him back to my chambers, and he just wept. I'm hoping in time he will find the right woman and have the family he deserves. You're always rooting for them and hoping that they'll be OK."

WATCHING A PRO AT WORK: "Eureka" regular Colin Ferguson says he found himself mesmerized watching Diane Keaton work her magic in the upcoming "Because I Said So" comedy with Mandy Moore, Piper Perabo and Lauren Graham. "Some people take a thought and run with it, but that's not what she was doing," says Ferguson of the veteran Oscar-winning actress. "Diane is definitely in the vein of keeping it fresh, and things would change from take to take." The actor plays Lauren Graham's husband in the movie. "Lauren, Piper and Mandy play Diane's three daughters, and they're trying to marry Mandy off. Lauren and I have a great relationship, which is the counterpoint to Mandy's non-relationship," he says.
