Adrian Grenier by Jeff Vespa/ WireImage.com
Stirring up so much confusion that the paps didn't know which way to shoot, Adrian Grenier joined them on Thursday to hunt down the likes of Eva Longoria, Mario Lopez and Brooke Shields. Ostensibly on the prowl for footage for his alleged, upcoming Untitled Paparazzi Documentary, Grenier got on the other side of the camera to join the throngs of photogs in West Hollywood. The scene, from the looks of clips on ET, was comical, and Grenier got laughs from Longoria and Shields.At one point, Grenier got serious with his temporary coworkers who were photographing him, saying, "You guys are distracting me. I'm trying to find celebrities." His doc, according to several databases, purports to "study the relationship between celebrities and the paparazzi and how they can't survive without each other." Paparazzi of course need their subjects, but could the celebs survive, really? More to the point, could you? — Anna Dimond

Longoria's costars in the film, Kali Rocha (aka Grey's Anatomy's Dr. Sydney Heron) and Jason Biggs, had big announcements to make to TV Guide. "I'm pregnant!" said a glowing Rocha, patting her barely there bump. She also mentioned that she will "absolutely" be coming back to Grey's in the future, noting, "I like that I was able to dump Patrick Dempsey['s Derek]. I enjoy that I get to bop in and out." Biggs, on the other hand, was glued to his date, actress Jenny Mollen, and for good reason: The two recently got engaged....

Eva Longoria tattoo by Gregg DeGuire/ WireImage.com
An ambigram of hubby Tony Parker’s jersey number on Eva Longoria's neck is but the latest body art adorning the Desperate Housewives star, who apparently wasn't kidding when she once said she's "addicted to tattoos." Longoria and Parker each have "wedding rings" tattooed on their left ring fingers, and Longoria has their wedding date ("VII-VII-MMVII") on the inside of her wrist (where it joined a blue star from The Little Prince). On her back, Eva boasts a rose (which she got at age 17, and now regrets) and a Celtic Cross. "A friend of mine is always saying your body is a notebook and I agree with her," Longoria has said. Sounds to us like she'll be taking even more notes. — N.F. MendozaPhoto Gallery: Check out other stars' tattoos!

Perhaps realizing that the statement he originally issued reeked of a nondenial that he cheated on bride Eva Longoria, Tony Parker has sued the gossip site that gave French model Alexandra Parresant a forum. "It never happened," says the lawsuit, which seeks $40 million in damages. "And X17 [Online] had to know that the story was false, or, at the very least, it had to have entertained serious doubts about the credibility of its supposed source." (Watch related video here.) The suit claims X17 never contacted the couple or their peeps before running with the tale, and refused to retract it after being told the claims were false."Tony adamantly and unconditionally denies ever having laid eyes on this woman, let alone having had an affair with her," Parker's lawyer told the AP on Wednesday. As for Paressant's story that she first fielded a pass from the NBA star at his own nuptials, "There were a lot of people at the wedding," says the lawyer. "Did they remember seeing her at the wedd...

Tony Parker and Eva Longoria by Maury Phillips/WireImage.com
Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria is standing by her man, even as a story makes the rounds that Tony Parker has been "double-dribbling" with a French model he met at his own wedding. In two of several MySpace messages cited by X17Online, Parker allegedly wrote to Paressant, "Are you coming or not? I would love to see you" and "Come; I'm at the Park Hyatt."Longoria's rep qualifies the allegations as "completely, 100 percent false and untrue," and claims, "This is not the first time [Paressant] has sued an athlete to gain public notoriety."In response to the gossip, Eva says in a statement to People, "Tony has been nothing short of the perfect husband," while Parker himself maintains, "I love my wife... and I have never been happier."

Desperate housewife Eva Longoria Parker took some flak on Tuesday for crossing picket lines to go to work — while a bevy of other TV stars, like Old Christine's Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Wanda Sykes, didn't. "I understand she is in a really tricky position, but it would be awfully nice if she'd said she wouldn't work today," the New York Daily News quotes Louis-Dreyfus as saying. "She's certainly in a financial position to be able to say that." Longoria at the end of the shoot day tried to make nice with striking scribes by delivering pizza and explaining, "We are done [filming available scripts] and we'll be on the lines supporting you." Alas, ELP's gesture was rebuffed with such chants as "No justice, no pizza!" and "This isn't the piece of pie we meant!" (Not quite on par with "Marcia's cross and so are we," but... ). — Ben KatnerNew to our Strike Watch blog: • Lost May Be Lost Until February 2009• Strike KOs Two and a Half Men, Six Others; Big Brother Fast-trac...
