Her family and friends accompanied the singer’s coffin to a Madrid cultural centre where admirers will have a chance to say farewell.

One woman said: “A page in our history has closed and I don’t know if it’ll be opened up again by someone else. We came to say goodbye.”

longoria.eva.jpgIt’s like a car wreck, those stories about celebs behaving badly and regardless if you buy them or not, they certainly are fun to imagine. Defamer is reporting that Eva Longoria was chilling at a bar with Saved by the Bell’s Mario Lopez (remember him- I think the last thing he did was Pet Star) and Eva was not to happy she had to ::gasp:: pay the bill. According to the report:

Eva was sullen and refused to talk with anyone. When the waitress gave her a $17 bill, she handed over a hundred dollar bill and when the waitress brought back her change, Eva grabbed her changed, snipped at the waitress that “Celebrities should be comped!” and stalked out without even leaving a tip.

True or not, shouldn’t at the very least Mario payed?
