Bruce Willis' birthday wishes came true on Saturday when his favorite supermodel, Petra Nemcova, graced the party celebrating his 51st year. Petra, though she survived the tsunami, didn't have the endurance to party with Willis till past 5 a.m. at the G2 Lounge. But Willis had plenty of other models, as well as Dan Aykroyd, Aaron Eckhart and Joaquin Phoenix. And, even though it wasn't Clive Owen's birthday, he left with a lovely parting gift: "Hitch" beauty Eva Mendes.
So big rumor about her is she's slept her way to the top. Any other scoop on her??

April 21, 2006 -- A NAME-dropping con artist who claimed to be the brother of actress Eva Mendes is being sought by police for allegedly bilking a bevy of trendy Manhattan nightspots out of tens of thousands of dollars worth of free meals and drinks.
Philippe Kayadjanian, the owner of 212 restaurant on East 65th Street, tells us he identified the mug shot of Bronx native Marcel Perez - who used the fictitious name, "Marco Mendes" - as the guy who scammed $10,000 worth of meals from him over a two-week period in March.
Kayadjanian claims Perez used a stolen credit card number to pay for his lavish meals, which were usually attended by a bevy of beautiful women he brought with him in a chauffeured limousine.
"He was a young, good-looking guy who was always with some good-looking girls," Kayadjanian tells Page Six. "He was spending a lot of money. He came here eight times. He even invited my manager to join him at Cain, Pink Elephant and other places. He was living large."
Kayadjanian added that Perez also stands accused of scamming a limousine company out of $4,000 for the use of his car and driver, the W Hotel for $25,000 and Whiskey Bar, $15,000.
"The cops are looking for him," he said. "We filed a police report at the 19th Precinct and I identified him through a mug shot. Apparently, he's been arrested a few times before. They're gonna catch this guy for sure."
Eva Mendes, the Cuban-American beauty who starred in "Hitch" and the upcoming "Ghost Rider," doesn't have a brother named Marco. Her publicist, Brad Cafarelli, said, "Eva Mendes has never met nor heard of this person, nor has she been aware of any of these alleged activities before this time."
An NYPD spokesman said he would not comment on "an ongoing investigation."

Eva Mendes' Boyfriend 4EVA
New York, NY :: 33-year-old actress Eva Mendes has had the same civilian (read: not famous) photographer boyfriend for the last couple of years (five?). They share a home together in Hollywood Hills and were spotted yesterday afternoon in SoHo walking together hand in hand. Cute dress, cute boots, no? Eva's next film Ghost Rider co-starring Nicolas Cage and Wes Bentley opens February 16, 2007. Eva talked about her role in Ghost Rider saying, "I play Roxanne Simpson. We start the movie when she's sixteen years old with Johnny Blaze, and she's so in love with him. We think we're going to run away together, and then the day he's supposed to pick me up and take me away is, of course, the day after he sold his soul to the devil, and that kind of complicates things when you do that (laughs), so he never shows up and he leaves me just heartbroken forever. I try to go on with my life, try to put my energy into my career, but it's never the same. So when I have an opportunity to interview him 13 years later, of course I take it, and then we become more in each other's lives again and this time I want answers - like every good woman does, I wanna talk!"

Mendes Strips for Flaunt
Sexy Eva Mendes has bared all for a racy new photospread in style magazine Flaunt. The actress has resisted offers from Playboy, but she stripped for photographer Don Flood's spread and pull-out poster, which comes complete with her full-lip imprint and signature. But Mendes isn't exactly revealing everything in the spread - for most of the shots she's clothed or wearing a sexy black basque, and in shots where she's naked, only her back and bottom are exposed as she covers her breasts and cheekily looks over her shoulder. She says, "I actually did a little nude shot. You won't see anything. I was covering myself... but I love Flaunt. I think their artwork is some of the best artwork out there as far as photography is concerned, so I took it off. "I felt really comfortable. It was fun. There's something really liberating about it. "The last couple of years I've shied away from taking photos, even in a bikini, because I was like, 'No, no, no. I don't want to be that girl.'"

Eva Mendes Wants To Be Clutzy
Eva Mendes has revealed her dream movie role would be playing a clumsy

The 'Hitch' actress says she imagines the character to be so useless they
accidentally kill the wrong bad guy.
Eva said: "I'd love to play a clutzy superhero, not a slick one. My girl
would be like, 'Whoops! I killed the wrong villain!'"
The 32-year-old actress, who stars opposite Nicholas Cage in upcoming comic
book movie 'Ghost Rider', recently slammed celebrity culture.
Eva said she has no interest in being famous, only in being a respected
actress.
She said: "The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept
with everyone else and it's some sort of strange weird cycle. I don't want
to get into that.

Eva Mendes: Not Sharpest Tool in ShedFrom justjared.com
Eva Mendes is Maxim Magazine February 2007’s cover girl! Here are some highlights from Eva’s interview with Maxim:
On gal pal Cameron Diaz: “I love Cameron. If I were a guy I’d ask Cameron to marry me. She’s got the greatest spirit, and she has the cutest, tightest butt. Her butt is so cute I can’t take it.”
On the toughness that comes across in most of her on-screen characters: “In real life I’m not tough. I’m more of a cuddle bug than a tough sex goddess. I may look like a bad girl, but I’m just built that way. I’m actually a good girl.”
On working with Hollywood’s leading men:”I’ve been lucky. All the guys I’ve worked opposite are amazing. I’d be blind as a bat not to have chemistry with Johnny Depp, Will Smith and Denzel Washington.”
On selling her soul to the devil: “I feel like I sell my soul a little bit every day in the business. It’s a barter system. You take certain role you don’t want on the assumption that it will pay off somewhere down the line.”
On how she kept her energy up on set: “I had a Red Bull problem. I was up to seven a day. Red Bull wanted to send me a mini-fridge. I was like, “No!” It’s like giving a crack addict free crack.”
On being more voluptuous for the role of Roxanne in “Ghostrider”:“I wanted to make comic book fans happy. The original Roxanne was blonde and blue-eyed, but she also had huge bajoongas. If I gain weight it goes to my boobs and my butt. I figured since I can’t be blonde and blue-eyed, I’ll at least have her bra size. So the bajoongas got big. They were out of control.
On not being obsessed with her weight: “I don’t complain about gaining weight. It was actually fun. I love my body. I believe in cherishing myself as a woman. But I don’t’ want to come off like I’m this totally in-control person, because I’m definitely not.”
On one of her flaws:“I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. I like a man to be smarter than me so I can learn from him. I like a superintellectual with an edge. Having an edge means not always abiding by the rules. I like a little danger. A little mischief.”

Sexy actress Eva Mendes has Halle Berry to thank for her slimline look after her fellow Revlon spokesperson turned the “Hitch,” star onto her fitness coach.
Berry introduced Mendes to trainer Harley Pasternak when Mendes complained about her fitness levels and her poor diet. The Latina says, "I was not educated about nutrition at all.
The last couple of years I have been educating myself, reading a lot, and I have a fantastic trainer, Harley Pasternak, who has written a couple of books that can teach you a lot." And the actress now accepts that she should just try to look healthy, rather than attempt to emulate another body type. Mendes adds, "My vision of a perfect body is a really healthy one. "You have the tall, slender Gisele (Bundchen)-like perfect body.
Then you have the Jennifer Lopez perfect body, and then you have the Beyonce perfect body. I appreciate women in all shapes and sizes because we are beautiful creatures."

Mendes Laughs Off Phoenix Affair Rumors
Eva Mendes has laughed off rumors of a romance with her We Own The Night co-star Joaquin Phoenix - after they dined together after work. The Latina actress has been dating director George Gargurevich for the past five years, but is constantly reported to be romantically entwined with her leading men. She says, "God, we went out to dinner together. We were working together so, of course, you'd go out and have a meal after work. Why wouldn't you? I'm a grown woman! Do you think I'd be making out with somebody? I stopped doing that when I was 14. Yuck!"

Toothy Smile
EVA Mendes, one of Hollywood's great beauties, was an ugly duckling as a kid. "I had the nickname Bugsy, for Bugs Bunny, because I had buck teeth," she told Webster Hall's Baird Jones after a screening of "Live!" a mockumentary about an ambitious TV exec producing a reality show in which contestants play Russian roulette. "I still have buck teeth, but then I was only like 70 pounds, so they really stood out. I never got braces because I am OK with my imperfections. In fact, I like to accentuate my buck teeth when I smile. I just have a big old smile. I never cover my mouth."

14th Annual Revlon Run/Walk for Women in L.A.Filed under: Events , Sheryl Crow
Billed as one of the country's largest 5K fundraiser, the Revlon Run/Walk for Women took place over the Mother's Day Weekend in Los Angeles. Several celebrity supporters showed up to participate in the event created to raise funds for cancer research. Fran Drescher, Sheryl Crow, Eva Mendes, Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis all lent their support to the cause. Seriously, though, my favorite is Shar Jackson, who seems pleasant enough. But I must admit that her "career" confuses me. What is it exactly that she does? And may I please get to do it as well? Because she seems to be doing aight, considering I'm only really familiar with her ability to bear Kevin Federline's children.
Also, Jessica Alba is frustrating me even further by participating. It's almost as if she's saying, "I'm beautiful AND I hate cancer. Top that." Dammit. For the life of me, I simply can't.

Eva Mendes' First Sex Scene
No one can call Eva Mendes a prude. In the new drama We Own the Night, she steams it up as Amada Juarez, the leather bustier–wearing girlfriend of nightclub owner Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix).
Although the actress has done nude scenes, this film contains her first sex scene. The Miami native, 32 (whose boyfriend is producer George Augusto), dishes to Us.
Q: How was filming the sex scene with Joaquin?:
The truth is, it’s very technical when you shoot it. The freak-out comes when you’re sitting in the theater going, “That’s my boob. Oh, my God!”
Q: You’ve also kissed Will Smith and Denzel Washington on screen. Who was the best kisser?:
All of them, though I regret not kissing Johnny Depp for longer [in 2003’s Once Upon a Time in Mexico]. I was so intimidated by him. It was the first time I had worked with an actor who I had crushed on as a little girl.
Q: What role did you want and not get?:
I really wanted Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I was 10 minutes away from auditioning when my agent left me a message telling me the part had been offered to Angelina Jolie. I got really crazy, ignored it and auditioned anyway. I really thought I had a chance!
Q: What about those recent pregnancy rumors?:
I had just finished a pasta meal and my tummy was hanging out. Then suddenly it was all over the Internet: baby bump. Eva’s pregnant! And they said I was coming out of a prenatal yoga class — I don’t even go to regular yoga!

Washington, Oct 19 (ANI): Eva Mendes was so petrified of the idea of watching herself moan on the big screen, that she actually tried to talk her way out of a masturbation scene that opens her new film We Own The Night.
The model/actress revealed that she did everything she could to make director James Gray's change his mind about the "uncomfortable scene", but he was adamant that's how his movie should start.
"I remember being so scared that morning and really trying to stall, but I just had to do it. Usually you feel that ticking time bomb but that morning it was a couple of hours of me and Joaquin and James just talking," she said.
Mendes added that she talked herself into an oblivion and did the scene at last.
"I just talked myself into an oblivion and did it. That was the last scene we shot and we had three months of history together, which really helped. The scene is erotic but it comes from a place of love," she added. (ANI)

JOAQUIN Phoenix is bristling at Eva Mendes' wisecrack that doing "We Own the Night" with him was "kind of like working with a puppy dog or a 2-year-old." Phoenix rants to the December Playboy: "Had I known I was supposed to be a puppy dog, I would have been much more cute and more consistently attentive. My apologies, Eva, but I had a few other scenes that you weren't in. This puppy dog had a lot of work to do."

Phoenix Says He's Not a Puppy Dog

Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix has hit back at co-star Eva Mendes for branding him a "puppy dog."
During a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, Mendes said of her "We Own the" Night co-star, "working with Phoenix was kind of like working with a puppy dog or a 2-year-old."
But Phoenix refutes the comments, insisting he was only doing his job -- and couldn't care less what she thinks of him.
He tells Playboy magazine, "Had I known I was supposed to be a puppy dog, I would have been much more cute and more consistently attentive. My apologies, Eva, but I had a few other scenes that you weren't in. This puppy dog had a lot of work to do."

Marisa Tomei Tops Best Nude Scenes of 2007
Actress' turn in 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead' celebrated
November 29, 2007
Marisa Tomei in 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead'Sure it was her comedic timing that won Marisa Tomei her Oscar 15 years ago, but it's her casual, topless talents that won Mr. Skin's highest commendation for 2007.
The year's films made skinematic history as Mr. Skin, as featured in "Knocked Up," was presented with such a wealth of nakedness on the silver screen, he had to compile his Top 20 list of films in which talented actresses took it off.
"2007 was a surprisingly strong year for big-screen nudity," noted Mr. Skin from his Chicago headquarters. "In fact, you could say it ranks among this decade's very breast!"
Topping the list was Tomei in Sidney Lumet's crime drama "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead." In the film, she's seen opening the movie with some nudity topside and later similarly displays herself to advantage after an illicit tryst. Oh yeah, and Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman also star in the heist movie.
Not one to be labeled an anglophobic philistine, Mr. Skin traveled across the pond to celebrate British beauty Keeley Hazell in the art house flick "Cashback." The former Page 3 girl gets her assets unveiled in the film when a supermarket clerk takes advantage of his newfound ability to freeze time.
The remainder of the Top 20 are as follows:
3. Natalie Portman in "Hotel Chevalier" - The acclaimed actress gets cheeky when she drops her drawers for this short film that's a companion piece to "The Darjeeling Limited."
4. Christina Ricci in "Black Snake Moan" - Her skimpy top can't contain her talent in this Southern gothic potboiler, even if she is chained to a radiator.
5. Sienna Miller in "Factory Girl" - Twenty-one minutes into the film about Andy Warhol's muse, Miller soaks naked in a tub.
6. Roselyn Sanchez in "Yellow" -The actress' character just wants to be a Broadway dancer, but of course, must strip in order to get there.
7. Malin Ackerman in "The Heartbreak Kid" - An acrobatic sex act opposite Ben Stiller allows this actress to show off more than just her flexibility.
8. Eva Mendes in "We Own the Night" - Very early into the film, the starlet shows one reason why she deserves to be on this list. Yep, just one, but it's a compelling one.
9. Lena Headey in "300" - Sure, the men got to show off their abs, but Headey shows she's no slouch in the skin department during a poetic love scene.
10. Stormy Daniels and Nautica Thorne in "Knocked Up" -Lapdancers in Vegas give the main character and his pal an eyeful up close and personal.
11. Alexa Davalos in "Feast of Love" - Selma Blair and Radha Mitchell also get naked, but it's Davalos' full frontal that makes her stand out.
12. Chelan Simmons in "Good Luck Chuck" - Seven different women take off their tops for the camera, including the "Kyle XY" cutie.
13. Wei Tang in "Lust, Caution" - This Ang Lee follow-up to "Brokeback Mountain" takes a while to build up, and then watch out. The Chinese starlet engages in lots and lots of sex to take down a political figure, and her dedication is on display fully from the front and back.
14. Ashley Judd in "Bug" - Mental illness, gasoline and frontal and dorsal nudity.
15. Olivia Wilde in "Alpha Dog" - Three other actresses show skin, including Amanda Seyfried ("Mean Girls") for a skinny-dipping adventure, but Wilde got the mention for her motel tryst.
16. Ana Claudia Talancon in "Alone With Her" - A peeping Tom's use of high-tech spying gadgetry pays off many, many times, including once with a steamy shower.
17. Danielle Harris in "Halloween" - More skin than the original.
18. Heather Matarazzo in "Hostel: Part II" -If you like your nudity disturbing, bloody and hung upside down, this is the movie for you.
19. Amber Valetta in "The Last Time" -This supermodel isn't wearing haute couture or doing runway.
20. Lucy Liu in "Blood Hunter" -Nudity in a vampire flick? Bloody likely! Cameron Richardson and Samaire Armstrong take it off, but it's Liu's topless turn in a lesbian tussle with Carla Gugino.
Mr. Skin and his team of "skinvestigators" view all non-adult titles for their nudity content and rates them on their "skintensity."

Actress Eva Mendes avoided a charge of hit-and-run over the weekend after accidentally hitting a car as she attempted to park her own vehicle -- she left a note with her contact details on for the other driver.
Mendes was running errands in Los Angeles when the traffic offense occurred, and although no damage was caused, she decided to leave a message for the car's owner instead of risk legal action from her crash victim.
According to TMZ.com, the handwritten note reads: "This person slightly hit your right front tire but nothing happened. Just wanted to let you know. Happy Holidays. Call with questions if any."

She said, "Cameron is a big old belcher, but I can't belch. One night I had a heavy dinner, so I combated her belching with something I could do. We were in side-by-side beds, so it was her disgusting bodily function versus mine. It was an Eva-Cameron fart-belch off."

Eva Mendes in Rehab
TMZ
TMZ has learned Eva Mendes is in Utah battling a substance abuse problem.
We're told the "Ghost Rider" star is at the famous Cirque Lodge, near Sundance. The Lodge, which treated Lindsay Lohan and other stars, is one of the most respected treatment facilities in the country.
Eva has been at Cirque for several weeks.
Her rep tells TMZ "Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva's privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details."

This actually surprises me. She was very nice when I worked on something with her and did not seem like a raging cokehead at all. She blew her lines a lot, but I don't think that was attributable to drugs -- I got the impression that she was a nice girl, but just not very bright.
Of course, this was a few years ago. And maybe she just kept it under wraps. But there are plenty of raging cokeheads I would expect to see in rehab before her.

Her rep tells TMZ "Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva's privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details."
Then why release any details?
Did anybody care where she was or why we haven't seen her?
Which chitchatter wrote that drug/alcohol rehab seems to be Hollywood chic these days?
(something like that anyway.)
I agree with you, that doesn't make sense.

I care if a hot chick is in rehab...lol...sorry, at least I'm honest.

That tells you that the female can party.

It's like Dogma, when Jay and Silent Bob are picking up chicks outside the Abortion Clinic...you know those females are loose....(translated so not to offend).

You know what I just don't get - how come all these drug addicts/substance abusers LOOK AMAZING.. LOOK better then the average person.... I have lived in some shit places growing up and man an addict looks like straight up shit! There was this "lady" that was known to be a cracker - always loosing her kids JUSt sad stuff.. WHEN my mom told me that she wsa 28 I almost fainted and swore to never ever look like that at 28..
NOW I am 30 and thankfully don't but my point is WHY do the hollywood druggies look so very different from real life druggies.. Real life druggies you can spot from a block away.
That Pete guy looks as close to a real life druggies then the other druggies
LOL! U funny...but then if it helps...look at Tara Reid, Sienna Miller, Amy Winehouse, Kate Moss, Pete "Doughy" Doherty...Lindsay Lohan...Well hohan still looks doable even though she looks "40."

You are right I forgot about the very small handful.. BUT HONEY I never ever MET any Druggie that looked like Sienna Miller. Tara - YES. PET - Sadly YES - Amy - YUP, Kate - Sorta..
I grew up in a small ghetto in NJ and that entitled me to knowing many druggies.... However, thanks to being raised right and working hard, I now live in a nice suburb in NJ BUT I have not lost my roots and so I KNOW what a crack head looks like - I WISH they looked like Ava.

I think if most crackheads looked like Eva...drugs would be legalized...instantly.

I'm surprised about this as well. I think it's because she's never really in the spot light compared to Brit, Lohan, and Paris. She kind of goes unnoticed, and so did her drug/drink problem.
I hope she gets better!

It doesn't really surprise me, it's usually the ones you least suspect and it just goes to show how prevalent alcohol/drug problems are in Hollywood.
Rehab Is Still In
TMZ is reporting that Eva Mendes is in rehab. Eva is currently at Lindsay Lohan's old joint, Cirque Lodge, in Utah. Eva is treating some substance abuse problem and has been there for several weeks.
Did Eva not get the memo? Rehab is out, the psych ward is in.
I didn't see this one coming. What's the substance? I'm guessing booze, but she sort of has a nose made for snorting. I'll stick with booze. She's a traditional lady.
When I first saw the name "Eva" I was praying it was Eva LongWHORIA. That would have made me leap through the streets singing "I Could Have Danced All Night."

Will over working and not getting any sleep be the new excuse to go to rehab or a psych ward? Last year the excuse was dehydration and calling people racial names

. Maybe I should go to rehab....I have a hard time sleeping. Better yet, I like getting up in the morning to go to work...maybe I should go to rehab or a psych ward for that.

Maybe she needs attention. Does she have a movie coming out? I don't get her. She is not a good actress and I think she is really ugly.

She actually doesn't look that amazing in person. She looked pretty much like a normal person. You would not even notice her on the street in New York. The guys were very disappointed.

A lot of what you see is makeup, wardrobe, and airbrushing.
Also a lot of functioning addicts don't show. But some addicts, even celebrities, you can tell. If you watch old episodes of "Friends" it is really wild to see how Matthew Perry's looks and weight fluctuate. They couldn't hide how scary he looked for awhile.

Her entering rehab might also be evidence that she's smart enough to address the problem on her own, as opposed to some people who we all know need it who aren't in there. It might actually be a good sign that to a degree she actually has her stuff together.

EVA OUT OF REHAB
L&S
Eva Mendes is out of rehab and back in Los Angeles, Life and Style can confirm.
The 33-year-old actress left Utah's Cirque Lodge rehab clinic on Feb 6 and boarded a flight to Los Angeles shortly after 9pm (pst) after spending a number of weeks in rehab.
At the time her spokesman said: "Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much needed time off to attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support."
