Eva Mendes Archives

Joaquin Phoenix was in France on Friday, May 25, 2007 at the 60th International Cannes Film Festival to promote the film We Own The Night.

Phoenix , 32, was accompanied by the rest of the principle cast characters (sans Mark Wahlberg) of We Own The Night. By his side are Eva Mendes, Robert Duvall, and writer/director James Gray (The Yards).

We Own The Night is a drama set at the height of a bloody 1980s struggle between Gotham cops and a Russian mob that targeted law officers and their families. That led the NYPD to hang “We Own the Night” banners in precinct houses and step up their efforts. Wahlberg and Phoenix play siblings in a cop-dominated family, with Phoenix the black sheep who ends up managing a Russian mob-controlled nightclub.

Check out the gallery to see Joaquin plant a big wet one on Duvall.
Anybody know why he’s trying oh-so-hard to break his sunglasses?

Eva Mendes wore a black one-strap Jay Godfrey frock with strappy sandals to the Spike TV Awards in December.

Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere, donned the same $495 silk frock in eggplant for Entertainment Weekly’s UpFront Party in New York City on Tuesday.

Other celebrities that turned out for The GLAAD Media Awards 2007 at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday night include: Lance Bass, Ben Affleck, Eva Mendes, Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), Balthazar Getty (Brothers & Sisters) with wife Rosetta Millington, Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica) with wife Kerry Norton, and Brittany Snow (Hairspray).

Bamber even bejeweled his sweater for this occasion. How fun!

Eva Mendes attends the world premiere of Ghost Rider with co-star Nicolas Cage (and his wife Alice Kim) at NYC’s Regal E-Walk and after-party at Marquee on Thursday night.

So far, Ghost Rider has mustered up a measly 23% on Rotten Tomatoes. Here are some of my fave quotes from the reviews:

• “This Rider doesn’t go down so easy.” — Sci-Fi Weekly
• “Ghost Rider is a comic fan’s celluloid nightmare. Jokey to a fault and weighty as newsprint, it lives down to the negative attributes attached to the comic book film tag.” — Reel Times
• “A good way of describing the overly dull Ghost Rider would be to compare it to the excellent God of War. Take God of War, strip it of it’s impressive visuals, remove all the weapons bar one and throw in a sub rate bike section and there you have it, Ghost Rider in all its lifeless glory. ” — IGN
• “What begins as a standard-yet-watchable superhero adventure slowly congeals into something approaching the caliber of Catwoman. Not as bad, but kinda knocking on the doorstep.” — Cinematical

I agree with the Catwoman comment, wholeheartedly. For more pictures of Eva and Nicolas, CLICK HERE!

Did Halle Berry have a little work done? Eva Mendes says, “YES!”

Eva, 32, spilled the beans on pal Halle, 40, while discussing her eating and exercising habits on TRL this afternoon, saying that only most of Halle was natural. Here’s what the Latin bombshell said exactly:

“I hit a point last year where you can’t really live off pizza and beer for too long. I hate to tell you guys that. There comes a point where you gotta chill with that. So Halle was looking really great and I worked with Halle during Revlon. And I said, ‘How do you have this?’ MOST OF IT IS NATURAL. She’s amazing. She gave me the name of a trainer and I’ve been a little more health conscious but I’m not a gym rat or anything. I just work out harder and I do less of the pizza and the beer.”

OOPS! And there you have it. Eva Mendes says ‘Halle Berry isn’t all natural!’ Now the question is, what isn’t all natural? Watch the video below!!

Eva Mendes plays the stunning Roxanne Simpson, the love interest of Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) in the upcoming film Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider opens in theaters nationwide tomorrow, Feb. 16.

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.”

Eva Mendes’s Maxim cover hits newsstands January 13th.

Eva Mendes bares all for the upcoming issue of Flaunt Magazine.  Don Flood photographed Eva, 32, pin-up style for a racy photospead and pull-out poster.  Eva told Jay Leno this past Monday, "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.’"  More pictures in the gallery including Eva’s other photospread in Flaunt from 2004!
