Eva Mendes, who entered Utah’s Cirque Lodge for rehab earlier this year, recently spoke about substance abuse with David Colman for Interview magazine. “I”m not angry,” said the actress, who stars in the upcoming The Women (due out in September) and The Spirit (due out at Christmas). “I’m proud of people who have the determination and the fearlessness to actually go and face their demons and get better. This is a life or death situation.”"*

A few weeks after Eva Mendes checked herself into rehab seeking what her rep called “outside professional support” for “some personal issues,” the 34-year-old star of We Own the Night is now out of rehab, “taking a break and having a good time” by exercising and being with her family, People.com reports. “*

Jardin, inspired by an Holamun2 vignette featuring Duranguense stars Los Alacranes Musical in mortal laser combat with a gang of furries, says mun2 is “doing some really hip, forward-thinking stuff online with this site.”

Eva Mendes is proving that not every star’s battle with personal hardship is open for public consumption.

In the wake of reports that the Hitch star has entered into a rehab treatment facility, a rep for Mendes confirms to E! News that the 31-year-old actress is taking time off to deal with “personal issues.”

“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,” publicist Brad Cafarelli said.”*

There’s no doubt about it–actor and model Eva Mendes is one of Hollywood’s sexiest and coolest leading ladies. The red carpet siren is courted by the world’s most sought-after designers, but one thing she’ll never do is let designers drape her in fur. In fact, she’d rather go naked. That’s why Mendes jumped at the chance to star in a brand-new anti-fur ad for peta2–the world’s largest youth animal rights organization. In the ad, Mendes bares all next to the tagline “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked.” Visitors to peta2.com can see the ad and read an exclusive interview with Mendes and can also enter to win an iPod Touch and a DVD of Mendes’ film Hitch.

“There are way too many amazing faux-fur options out there for people to still be wearing real fur,” says Mendes. “I want people to know that … killing a poor animal and wearing [her fur] isn’t cool. Respecting all life forms is cool.”

A Cuban-American who was born in Florida and grew up in Los Angeles, Mendes has appeared in dozens of films, including We Own the Night with PETA pal Joaquin Phoenix, Training Day with Denzel Washington, Ghost Rider with Nicolas Cage, and Hitch with Will Smith. The Latina beauty has served as a spokesmodel for Revlon.

Mendes joins an ever-growing list of actors and musicians–including Charlize Theron, Meg & Dia, Pink, Tegan & Sara, Aimee Teegarden, Jared Padalecki, Mates of State, and Tommy Lee–who have teamed up with peta2 to expose the cruelty inherent in the fur industry. Also featured on peta2.com are celebrity interviews, message boards, merchandise, downloadable voice-mail recordings, and chances to win great prizes like free concert tickets, iPods, and more.

“Actress Eva Mendes has blasted U.S. TV network bosses - for ignoring her new series concept about the family of a Mexican-American Los Angeles mayor.

The Hitch star got involved with the series because it’s something she’d like to watch on TV, instead of all the reality shows and supernatural dramas that have taken over.”*

“As far as Celebsville goes, it’s a pretty tame habit to kick.

But there’s one thing that Eva Mendes just can’t resist.

The Latino lovely seems to be addicted to cheese.”*

“Gossip blogs may be abuzz with chatter that Eva Mendes is pregnant, but the actress left no room for a baby bump on Oct. 8. Dressed in a chic, form-fitting and floral-patterned dress, Mendes not only dispelled baby rumors, but also lived up to her reputation as an up-and-coming fashion it girl.

As soon as the discussion at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel turns to fashion, Mendes reminds us that her craft comes first.

“I think there [are] enough celebrities with their own fashion lines,” she said. “I don’t want to just put my name everywhere. What I do want to do is get more serious roles, get meatier roles in Hollywood and really push myself as an actress.” “*

In addition to a weekly video countdown voted on by MTV Tr3s viewers, “Mi TRL” features lives performances, artists interviews and news reports on the latest from the music world. “Mi TRL” host Carlos Santos has developed a reputation for engaging artists and his audience with his quick wit and deep understanding of the music young Latinos want to listen to. Carlos was born and raised in Puerto Rico against the background of the emerging sound of reggaeton. His passion for music was developed as he listened to a wide mix of Latino and American music on radio and on MTV as he was growing up. When he later moved to California, he became enthralled with the Rock en Español movement and the Indie scene of Los Angeles. In addition, Carlos is a talented actor, TV host and comedian.

“Actress Eva Mendes says she first resisted a part in an upcoming movie also featuring Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix and Robert Duvall because it was too stereotypical, but finally relented when the director agreed to adjust her role.
