Eva on Her Racy Ad: “This is Beautiful”

September 5th, 2008

In a steamy ad for Calvin Klein’s "Obsession" perfume, Eva Mendes is seen rolling naked on a bed, partially covered in a white sheet. Suddenly she rolls over once more and oops - her nipple is exposed.

 

The too-hot-for TV commercials were banned from appearing in the U.S., a move that Eva says surprised her.

 

“That was just a natural accident and when I saw it, I said, ‘Yeah, I support this. This is beautiful,’ " she tells Extra in an interview airing tonight. "I had no idea I was going to be treated like such a provocative woman."

 

Although the lovely starlet and her body are buzzworthy today, Eva says that wasn’t always the case.

 

“I was awkward looking and I still am awkward looking, but I embrace that now," she says of her adolescence and being teased by the other kids. “I couldn’t gain weight… Because I was little and small framed and I couldn’t gain weight, I was all mouth."

Eva Mendes & Beau Still Going Strong

April 2nd, 2008

Despite all the rumors of her hooking up with co-stars Matt Damon and Joaquin Phoenix over the years, there’s still only one man in Eva Mendes‘ life and that’s her longtime beau, filmmaker George Gargurevich.

The couple has been dating entirely on the down-low for the past six years, but it sounds like George is ready to be seen and heard.

George, who directed Eva in his 2005 flick 3 & 3, was overheard dropping his lady love’s name at the Hotel Cafe last week when introduced to a mutual friend. “He said, ‘Oh, I think you know my girlfriend,’ ” an eavesdropper tells OK!. “When the girl asked who, he said, ‘Eva Mendes.’ ”

As for Eva, the 34-year-old recently completed a rehab stint at the Cirque Lodge and has a much-anticipated film coming out later this year, The Women.

“She’s fabulous. She’s hilarious,” co-star Debra Messing says of Eva. “[It’s a] remake of the original film from the ’30s, and it’s a modern adaptation about a woman whose husband is having an affair. Eva plays the mistress.”
