Cry Me A River: Tony Parker Tells A French Newspaper What Kept Him Strong While His Marriage Fell Apart

LOL, Tony Parker knew better than to try to play the “poor broken man” in America. So he took his sob story to his mother country, totally downplaying the fact that his dirty dog ways are the reason why Eva Longoria walked away. It’s been almost two months since Tony Parker and Eva Longoria’s split imploded and for the first time the NBA star is speaking out “It’s always good to have the support of the team, staff, and also of your town,” Parker told French newspaper Le Parisien. “But the most important thing to me is my family. At times like that you’re family comes to you.” When asked by how he’s coped since his separation from the Desperate Housewives star, Parker responded: “The essential thing at that time was to be sure to concentrate on basketball and above all to stay strong mentally even at that very difficult time.” Instead of reading all the press swirling around rumors of why the couple separated — which included allegations that Parker had an “emotional” affair with a former teammates wife, Erin Barry — Parker revealed he has focused his energy on his game. “The best solution is to read nothing and I read nothing. “I escape into basketball because that’s what I do best and I have since I was young,” he said. But Parker is not blaming the media for the demise of his three-year marriage. Whether or not the price of celebrity has increased, Parker said: “No, I knew how it was before. In no way can you control what people say or write and that’s a fact.” Half negro puh-lease! Source

How To Grow Long African-American Hair

Earlier this month in my Biggest Myths about African American Hair piece, I mentioned that African American hair has the ability to grow as long as other races or ethnicities. Several disagreed, some rather rudely. (Never underestimate the fervor, passion or vigor black women have about their hair!) Either way I still stand by the statement. You don’t have to be of multiracial origin to achieve the hair so many of us covet. Honestly, you’d be hard pressed to find many African Americans who don’t have a little or a lotta bit of “something else” in their blood. But that’s beside the point, African American hair can grow if properly maintained and that’s the key. The natural, coily texture of our hair is fragile and frankly many of us are very ignorant about what it takes for it to thrive. (Hence the YouTube tutorials.) So if you’re interested in tresses that graze the top of your booty, here are some tips to grow long, luscious African American hair. Continued at MadameNoire.com
