Jessica Simpson and Eva Longoria have one thing in common: They are both romantically involved with sportsmen called Tony. Jessica, dating Dallas Cowboys quarter back Tony Romo, and Eva, married to San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker. And when it comes to feeling the brunt of angry fans - Eva's been there first, long before Simpson got labeled a jinx on Tony Romo, Eva felt the heat for seeing Tony Parker.
"When I first started dating Tony (Parker), I got the same flack, and this was so many years ago that people don't remember," Longoria, 32, told People.com. "If he had a bad game, it was my fault, if he got injured, it was my fault, if he had a good game, it wasn't because of me."
Eva's advice to the former Newly Weds star: "You have to weather that for a while, and once people get over it, they kind of get used to you."
Jessica - who recently divorced from former '98 Degrees' star Nick Lachey, got ribbed by Cowboy fans when Romo, 27, had a bad late-season game while she was in the stadium, but Longoria insists that Simpson, 27, can learn from the happily married actres.
"Believe me, they are not thinking of us when they are on the field, particularly Tony Romo, who has 10 linemen coming at him," said Longoria, 32, while promoting her upcoming film Over Her Dead Body. "Do you think that he is really thinking about Jessica the moment that he is about to get sacked?"
Still, Simpson appears to be taking no chances. After Romo's off-game, she has kept her distance the stands, and wasn't expected to attend Sunday's Dallas-New York Giants playoff match.
