The Guide to Giving Gifts, and Not Spending a Dime, By Eva Parker

WHEN a celebrity opens her weeklong Paris wedding to the press, the swag isn't far behind. Eva Longoria and Tony Parker pimped out their "special day" to OK! magazine for $2 million, but they didn't have to pay for the goodies their wedding guests received. Those invited to the insanely over-covered nuptials got $700 bracelets from French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels, along with Bebe bags filled Vitamin Water, L'Oreal products for women and a Cole Haan kit for men. At least the lovebirds paid for their wedding rings and luxurious gifts for each other, but, "They didn't purchase anything for their guests," said our insider. Even the tacky "Mrs. Parker" track suit Longoria sported before hopping on her honeymoon plane was a gift from Bebe, the fashion company she endorses. And with the press snapping the happy couple at every moment, swag-givers got plenty of press. Reps for Longoria, who's now on her honeymoon in Turks & Caicos, would not confirm or deny details of the event to Page Six.


I love how even celeb friendly PAGESIX is calling Eva tacky!
