Lindsey Vonn’s Sexy Basic Instincts

Here’s olympic hottie Lindsey Vonn looking pretty damn sexy on the cover of ESPN Magazine as Sharon Stone from Basic Instinct . I like it.

It’s funny, after watching it so many times, I never did get a very good look at Duck Hunt . Ha!

Weekday Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Harissa

My son is a great afficiando of hot foods, so this was an easy way to accommodate people who’s tolerance of heat might not as great as his. Just a spoonful was all that was needed for most of th… Read the full story on TreeHugger

‘Extra’ host says despite couple’s split following allegations of infidelity, Longoria is ‘strong.’ By Jocelyn Vena Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Photo: Michael Tran/ Getty Images As news broke of Eva Longoria filing for divorce from her husband of three years, Tony Parker, rumors of the basketball player’s alleged infidelity began to surface. According to multiple entertainment news outlets, Parker was reportedly cheating on Longoria with Erin Berry, the wife of his onetime NBA teammate Brent Barry. The Berrys are reportedly in the middle of their own divorce. Longoria found hundreds of text messages exchanged between her husband and Erin, according to USWeekly.com . Brent Barry’s father, NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry, spoke to TMZ about the rumors, saying, “I feel horrible for my son. I’m in shock. I knew [Erin] was moving out of the house soon and she was the one that filed for divorce. This is the straw that broke the camel’s back. [Brent] is going to be devastated. I can’t even imagine him going through this … the divorce was hard enough news.” Meanwhile, Longoria is getting all the support she needs from her friends. “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,” Longoria’s longtime pal and “Extra” host Mario Lopez said. “But she’s strong.” “Extra” confirmed that Longoria found the texts exchanged between Parker and Berry. The show also reported that Longoria will no longer appear at the American Music Awards this Sunday and will spend Thanksgiving with friends. On Wednesday, Longoria and Parker released nearly identical statements confirming the split. The “Desperate Housewives” star tweeted, “It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce.

Eva Longoria Confirms Divorce From Tony Parker With ‘Great Sadness’

‘We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness,’ she tweets. By Jocelyn Vena Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Photo: Michael Tran/ Getty Images After news broke of her divorce from Tony Parker on Wednesday (November 17), Eva Longoria released a statement on Twitter confirming the split. “It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce,” the “Desperate Housewives” star wrote. “We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness.” Longoria’s soon-to-be-ex-husband also took to Twitter to post a nearly identical statement. TMZ posted the papers the actress filed at L.A. County Superior Court, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Longoria is also asking for spousal support from Parker, who plays for the San Antonio Spurs. The legal docs mention the prenup the couple signed in 2007 and amended last year. The couple had been plagued with rumors of Parker’s infidelity, and a source told TMZ that the actress is “devastated.” Longoria, 35, and Parker, 28, met in November 2004 and were engaged in November 2006. They exchanged vows during a small civil service and again, a day later, on July 7, 2007, at Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte, a 17th-century castle on the outskirts of Paris. They have no children together. The news of Parker and Longoria’s split was surprising, as the couple are frequently photographed cuddling and generally appearing happy together. Just last month, Longoria stopped by the “Ellen” show, where she told host Ellen DeGeneres that Parker surprises her every year for their anniversary and that this year he took her to Croatia. Mid-story, Longoria seemed to sense that DeGeneres might be planning one of her signature “scares,” and when the actress turned around, Parker was standing on set. He ran out and gave her a hug and kiss in front of the audience. Related Photos Eva Longoria And Tony Parker In Happier Times
