Stars behaving badly
San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker got into a little trouble over the Christmas weekend. Police cited him for impeding traffic and failing to produce a valid driver's license during a traffic stop. His girlfriend, Desperate Housewives co-star Eva Longoria, was a passenger in Parker's car.
According to published reports, the couple screamed at the officer in a "verbally abusive and demeaning manner". Parker also nearly hit a man when trying to drive away.
Longoria allegedly said the officer was just a Mexican cop asking for an autograph. Then, through a publicist, she denied making that comment. Making a racial crack is weak, and so is speaking to the media through someone else.
Don't you just love how celebrities think they're entitled to special treatment wherever they go? If any regular person yelled at an officer during a traffic stop, you could only imagine what would happen next.
