Eva Mendes in Rehab (Yes, Another)

Eva Mendes in Rehab (Yes, Another)

Another Day, More Drama

Ghost Rider star Eva Mendes has checked into a rehab facility in Utah to battle a substance abuse problem, reports TMZ.

The 33-year-old actress has been at the famous Cirque Lodge the past few weeks (the same one that treated Lindsay Lohan).

Eva was also recently tapped to be the new three-year face for an as-yet unnamed Calvin Klein fragrance, which is being produced by Coty to launch this fall.

“We’ve been looking at Eva for awhile, not just for Calvin,” Catherine Walsh, senior vice president of American Fragrances for Coty Prestige, told WWD. “Her awareness and likability have been on the rise since 2003 - she consistently generates a very positive response. Both men and women find her incredibly attractive, fit and sexy. And because her awareness is growing worldwide, we are planning this fragrance as a global launch.”

DO YOU THINK Calvin Klein will dump Eva as spokesmodel now?

UPDATE: Eva’s rep just released this very vague statement: “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.”

Geez, has going to rehab become the new “getting knocked up” as a way to generate publicity?

She’s in rehab because she is very puta/

sorry, but many people have psychological problems, not only stars.
it is a fact that it has become a no. 1 illness in the last few years.

and it`s nothing that you have to be ashamed about. if you need help than ask for it.

I’m really surprised, you never hear or see any evidence of her being drunk or drugged up and stupid. I wish her the best in her recovery.

wtf worlds crazy

everyone says eva mendes is better than jessica alba, but at least alba is no drugged out coke wh*re. weak people turn to alcohol and drugs. shame on you eva. please die.

Its kinda surprising, just cuz you never hear much about Eva ..

What’s wrong with them? Why do they need to take drugs? They have everything the rest of the world dreams of and they just try to kill themselves slowly (or fast).

They must really get scared of the death of Heater.

Pardon, HEATH!

Didi-
What kind of evil person are you to wish death on someone?

piper, with a low @ 02/01/2008 at 3:44 pm

I’m sorry to hear about this.

But at least she’s being proactive about getting better versus Britney and Lindsey, who need the whole world to witness their @$$es being carted off.

Wow, I didn’t see this 1 coming.

Hopefully is nothing serious. Maybe she got a nrevous breakdown and needed a long quiet brake or maybe she wants some more attention too. Whatever it is I still like Eva.

I guess the byotch is not down to earth after all. Her fans were putting her on a pedestal and she fell off!!!

I can’t believe this!I loved her her We Own the Night…another one bites the dust, so to speak.

im surprised. goodluck to her

The article says she has substance abuse problems (NOT psychological problems). However, I thought everyone in H-Wood had substance abuse problems (and were sexually promiscuous and uneducated). I thought those things were job qualifications for actors.

THAT’S SAD!!!!!!!!!

poor celebrities - they all seem to be so depressed that they end up in rehab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf, this one floored me.
she always looked like she loved herself WAY too much to do that ****.

She looks a lot older thatn 33 yrs old! She looks a bit scanky and weathered. She should be looking clean and fresh at 33 years old.

DUMB ASS MEXI

she’s cuban idiot!

I wonder if she is the one referred to in Lainey’s “holiday detox” blind item.

any guesses on what her poison is/was?
