Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were spotted shopping together in New York a few days ago. The couple are tying the knot very soon — July 7th.

OK! has given People a knuckle sandwich in the ongoing weekly-celebrity-magazine wars.

Sources said People “laid the groundwork” for landing exclusive photos of Eva Longoria and Tony Parker’s July 7 wedding – but Page Six has learned that OK! won the frenzied bidding. Sources close to the negotiations said OK! paid more than $2 million.

It was a surprising – and costly – end to the battle for the privilege to snap the nuptials, which the “Desperate Housewives” hottie and her San Antonio Spur fiancé plan to hold in a romantic castle in Paris.

“People editors broke the story of their wedding and were working hard with Eva’s reps [to secure the picture rights],” said a source close to the talks. “They were upset about losing the photos.”

Other sources suggested that previous coverage in People of the couple’s rumored breakup, including a photo of Parker with another woman in New York, may have influenced the result.

But a well-placed source said that had nothing to do with it, that “it was [entirely] a matter of money, straight up to the final negotiation.” Another insider said, “Everyone wanted the photos . . . but everyone knows OK! will pay [a lot].”

A rep for OK! declined to comment on what it paid, saying, “We don’t release numbers.”

OK! editor-in-chief Sara Ivens told us, “These were obviously highly coveted photos, and we were thrilled to negotiate the exclusive rights. Covering great moments with the celebrities that we love is what the magazine’s all about.”

Neither People’s nor Longoria’s reps would comment.

Eva Longoria’s wedding to Tony Parker is fast approaching, and her mane man, Ken Paves, has told the tiny housewife he’ll do her hair for free as a gift. Also offering his service free of charge is Longoria’s famed stylist, Robert Verdi. Meanwhile, some of Longoria’s pals are worried about Parker. “He is just not gracious,” one of them said. “He puts himself ahead of her. He always orders at restaurants before her and is rude to waiters. We just don’t have a good feeling about him.”

Eva Longoria is set to open a nightclub in Hollywood, late this summer, called Beso.

Nicollette Sheridan and fiancé Michael Bolton are on the lookout for spectacular views during a yachting expedition in the South of France on Thursday. The couple have been spending the summer on a romantic European getaway.

Nicollette Sheridan enjoyed her own romantic European getaway on Tuesday, taking in the sights in Corsica with fiancé Michael Bolton.

Currently on hiatus from Desperate Housewives, which is due to begin filming again on July 9th, Teri Hatcher and her boyfriend Stephen Kay take a romantic vacation in Rome, Italy.

Nicollette Sheridan has slammed young Hollywood stars for their serial non-knicker wearing habit. The 45-year-old actress insists there’s no excuse for stars like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan being caught by the paparazzi without pants because lingerie has been specially adapted to cope with visible panty lines. She says, “I think it serves you right getting caught by the paparazzo if you are going to be getting out of a car like that. Disgraceful. “They make fabulous underwear that is seamless, so there’s no need for you to go, as they say, commando.”

Teri Hatcher is embarrassed by her recent Glamour magazine award, as she is running out of things to be nominated for each year.

The actress picked up the Best Writer award for her book “Burnt Toast” at British Glamour magazine’s annual award ceremony in London on Tuesday — and her latest haul makes it the third different trophy in consecutive years at the ceremony.

She says, “It’s getting rather embarrassing. This is the third year I’ve won an award — I’ve previously won Best Actress and Woman of the Year — and it’s like they have to keep finding categories for me to win.

“And you know what will happen next, don’t you?

“It’s the dreaded Lifetime Achievement award, which means it’s all over for you.”
