*Eva Longoria’s much-talked-about “sex tape” hit the Web on Tuesday — but it’s not what bloggers and tabloids had hinted. The video was the latest spoof on Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die Web site. “I’m so amused. It’s so funny,” the “Desperate Housewives” actress told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. The clip is in typical sex-tape night vision, and there’s some calisthenics, but not the naughty kind. Longoria said her husband, NBA star Tony Parker, thinks her skit with a comedian is “freaking hilarious.” She also claims the couple are “very square” and have not made a tape of their own. Riiight.
*Tuesday in Connecticut was officially “Bruce Springsteen Day.” Springsteen and his E Street Band were to open their first tour since 2002 at the Hartford Civic Center on Tuesday night. They’re promoting their new album, “Magic.” Gov. M. Jodi Rell issued a proclamation honoring the Grammy winner for contributions to music and declared Oct. 2 “Bruce Springsteen Day in Connecticut.”
*”Meet the Parents” actress Teri Polo and her drummer boyfriend, Jamie Wollam, are expecting a child, her rep tells People. Polo, 38, who played Ben Stiller’s fiance in the two “Meet” movies, is seven months pregnant. Polo and Wollam each have a child from previous relationships.
*Andrew Firestone’s proposal to Jen Schefft on ABC’s “The Bachelor” in 2003 was watched by millions and led to months of tabloid chatter — until the two broke up later that year. Now Firestone, 32, is engaged again, to model-actress Ivana Bozilovic, 30, and they plan to marry in the spring, his father says.
*Writer-director Paul Schrader, 61, who gained his breakthrough with the script for “Taxi Driver,” will get a lifetime achievement award next month at the Stockholm International Film Festival.
