She said: “I met with call girls, the type who met clients in grand apartments. I learned quite a bit.”

The new Calvin Klein ad poster shows Eva Mendes’ naked but covered and wet, wrapping her arms around British male model Jamie Dornan.

This new ad is less racy than her commercial for the brand’s Secret Obsession perfume, which was deemed too hot for US TV viewers because it featured a brief glimpse of Eva’s nipple.

Eva Mendes is in “no rush” to have children. Despite being very happy in her private life, the 34-year-old actress – who is in a long-term relationship with producer George Gargurevich – does not feel ready to start a family.

Eva Mendes said: “It’s great that women can work and have kids but I’m in no rush. I was joking the other day that everywhere you look there is a celebrity having a baby – and I said I hoped I didn’t catch it. There are just so many things I want to do.” Eva has also explained her decision to enter a rehab facility earlier this year to be treated for “personal issues”.

She revealed: “Basically, I can’t deal with everything life throws at me on my own – I need tools and people around me to help. I don’t want to sound like a victim because, come on, I’m one of the luckiest women in the world. ”

But I have trouble dealing with the fame side of things, so now I see my therapist every week. For me, it’s a healthy thing to do.”

Eva Mendes who was recently named one of the world’s Most Desirable Women – was so hooked on Grease when she was little she wished she had blonde hair and blue eyes just like he idol Olivia Newton-John.

She says, “I was 12 years old. I was about 60lbs and I was all mouth. I had, and still have, a very unconventional look and all I really wanted was to look like Sandra Dee.

“I really wanted to look like a normal, average American girl.”

Eva Mendes plays the “other woman” in Jada Pinkett Smith’s steamy on-screen lesbian relationship in Diane English’s all-female film “The Women,” and gets down and dirty with former model-turned-actress Natasha Alam.

“It was a lot of fun, not awkward at all,” Alam told Pop Tarts at last week’s Los Angeles premiere. “Eva is a great kisser; she gets 10 out of 10. Amazing.”

But on the topic of relationships, even after six years with boyfriend George Gargurevich, Mendes has no intention of signing marriage papers.

“I’ve been with the same person for a very long time, but I’m just unconventional in that way. I don’t think people need to be married,” she said. “I think a lot of people need that piece of paper but I don’t think everybody needs that to feel secure.”

Mendes’ co-star Pinkett Smith brought hubby Will Smith to the star-studded premiere, only he got scolded for not being on his best behavior.

“I’m in trouble and have been told to stay quiet,” Will told Tarts. “I’m in a hyperactive mood and am saying things I shouldn’t.”

There was certainly a lot of estrogen on the red carpet, as Mendes and Smith were joined by their A-list counterparts Annette Bening, Meg Ryan and Debra Messing.

Eva Mendes is to launch a range of bedsheets and pillowcases.

The sexy actress is the brains behind the new Vida linen line, which will hit MACy’s stores later this month (Sep08).
And, although the venture might be a surprise for many, she insists it’s something she has wanted to do for years.

She explains, “I’m a big interior design fan and architecture buff, that’s one of my passions. If I wasn’t an actress, I’d be an interior designer. I’m not smart enough to be an architect.
“We’re starting off with bedding and we’re seeing how the public responds to it… It’s very very affordable.”

And Mendes insists her friends and family are far from surprised with her latest project – because the actress loves to spend time in bed.
She adds, “I love sleeping… If there was an Olympics for it, I’d take the gold. I’m Cuban; we love to sleep.”

The campaign for new perfume Secret Obsession was deemed too racy for TV because it shows a brief glimpse of her nipple, according to source

The black and white advert shows Mendes, 34, rolling on a dishevelled bed before caressing herself and showing her chest for a split second.

“Between love and madness lies obsession,” she whispers seductively during the footage. “Love…madness. It’s my secret.”

Although network bosses have pulled the advert, Calvin Klein is running the clip on its website under the headline “Eva Mendes banned advert.”

“This development is not entirely a surprise for the US.market,” said Tom Murry, president and chief operating officer of Calvin Klein Inc.

“We believe the commercial is exceptional and hits the mark for Secret Obsession. We will reach our consumers in the U.S. primarily through the Web site, the print campaign and at point of sale.

“We are anticipating a very successful global launch.”

Eva first exposed her body in the 2007 film We Own The Night. Since then she has bared all for animal rights charity Peta, in the ‘I’d rather go naked than wear fur’ campaign.

Yahoo! Movies has debuted a new poster featuring Eva Mendes that departs a little from the black and white character against a 300-esqe background.
Eva Mendes asks an unfair question in this new character banner.

The actress is reportedly being treated at Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehab clinic for an undisclosed addiction, after deciding herself she needed “professional support”.

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.”

At the Cannes Film Festival last May, Eva admitted she needed alcohol to feel comfortable while filming a sex scene with co-star Joaquin Phoenix for ‘We Own the Night’.

She said: “I wasn’t comfortable at all, but Joaquin and the director James Gray were very sweet and they poured me a vodka and orange juice and then I was fine.

“I’m very professional and I don’t usually drink on the job but that morning I had to have something.”

The 33-year-old actress is not the first high-profile name to check into the Cirque Lodge clinic.

Last year, ‘Mean Girls’ star Lindsay Lohan spent two months in the facility battling drug and alcohol addiction.

Eva has had a hectic schedule of late.

She recently completed upcoming movies ‘The Spirit’, alongside Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson, and ‘The Women’, which features Meg Ryan and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Sexy Eva Mendes is the stripped star in the new poster, which will be unveiled in Rockefeller Plaza at some point on Thursday (06Dec07), but city authorities have asked the organisers not to announce the time or exact place of the event.
The lovely Latina bares all in PETA’s hot new holiday ad campaign, and she’ll unveil it in person.

Shot by renowned photographer Don Flood, the saucy new poster will be erected all over Manhattan starting next week (beg10Dec07).

She says, “Killing a poor animal and wearing her fur isn’t cool. Respecting all life forms is cool.”
Eva Mendes, who wears designs created by Stella McCartney in the new ad, joins a long list of celebrities who have starred in PETA’s iconic naked campaign, including Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson and Christy Turlington.

The actress was so nervous about her steamy scenes with Joaquin Phoenix that she calmed her nerves with vodka.

“I wasn’t comfortable at all, but they were very sweet and they poured me a vodka and orange juice and then I was fine”, says the actress.

“I’m very professional and I don’t usually drink on the job, but that morning I had to have something. It was my first sex scene and thank God James Gray was directing it. He did it at the end of the shoot, so it was the last day and I was really, really comfortable with James and Joaquin.”

She also says that working with Joaquin was like working with a “puppy” or a “two-year-old” so we’re not surprised she needed a little something before getting down to business with the actor.

“There is no other star in the world (who) causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay,” said Maxim Editor in Chief Jimmy Jellinek in a statement. “Her every move is watched and reported on.”

Not surprisingly, Jellinek described his young, male readership as being “obsessed” with the 20-year-old Lohan, a ubiquitous party girl who spent the weekend soaking up the sun (with a new boyfriend) in the Bahamas.

Jessica Alba had to settle with the No. 2 on the list, which is in the magazine hitting stands Saturday. She’s followed, in order, by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles and Katherine Heigl.

Celebrity sisters Ashlee and Jessica Simpson are on the list at No. 16 and 41, respectively. Ashley Olsen, half of the mogul acting twins, placed 37th, while sister Mary-Kate didn’t make the cut.
