Eva Mendes Archives

Actress Eva Mendes attends the opening night of The Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center on Monday in New York City.

Eva, 34, can be seen in The Women this coming October, which is a remake of George Cukor’s 1939 film The Women.

The story centers on a group of gossipy, high-society women who spend their days at the beauty salon and haunting fashion shows.

Eva Mendes is the new face for Calvin Klein Underwear, reports WWD.

When asked if the image of Eva’s two visits to rehab in February at the Utah-based Cirque Clinic, Tom Murry, president and chief operating officer of Calvin Klein Inc., said, “No, it has not. We were already in one [fragrance] campaign when it [rehab] occurred and it did not affect our decision-making for the underwear campaign.”

“She really embodies the essence of the Calvin Klein brand and we look forward to seeing that carried through in the creative,” added Murry. “We are trying to get across that these new products are for fuller busted, shaplier kinds of women and when we looked at the talent, Eva was right.”

Eva said in a statement, “The company has such an incredible creative legacy. I’m honored to be associated with such an iconic, world-class brand like Calvin Klein.”

Looking perkier than ever, recently rehab-ed Eva Mendes prepares to depart from LAX airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old actress had been at the the famous Cirque Lodge rehab facility in Utah battling a “substance abuse problem”. More Here! »

Eva Mendes is back in Los Angeles on “personal business”, taking a break from rehab treatment at Cirque Lodge in Utah.

“Eva is attending to some personal business in Los Angeles and intends to return to complete her treatment shortly,” the actress’s rep says.

Get well soon, Ms. Mendes!

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.”

Eva Mendes is the latest PETA pin-up girl to star in the “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ad campaign. The 33-year-old actress’s naked anti-fur ad is currently (and proudly) displayed in Rockefeller Plaza of New York City. Here’s some insight on Eva’s PETA campaign:

What drew you to the idea of working with PETA on our “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” Campaign? I wasn’t familiar with PETA early in my career. I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so naive that I didn’t have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a fur wrap for the evening and I ignorantly wore it. PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to them and myself to never wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again.

What issue involving animals is dearest to your heart? Also, you have a lot of fans out there which gives you a powerful platform to reach people and make a difference: What is your message to them about having compassion and getting active to help animals? I’d say the closest animal rights issue to me right now is being anti-fur. I feel like in recent years, due to pop culture, fur has made a comeback. Some people still see wearing fur as glamorous and a sign of prosperity. Personally I think wearing a baby chinchilla says, “I’m ignorant,” vs. saying “I’m a badass.” I don’t think you can force people to change their attitudes, but you can help to educate them and to lead by example. … There are way too many amazing faux fur options out there for people to still be wearing real fur. I want people to know that there are options; that killing a poor animal and wearing it isn’t cool. But respecting all life forms is cool. Very cool.
