EVA MENDES DOES ‘ALLURE’

After a whirlwind of controversies over the past year — from a nude Calvin Klein scandal to a stint in rehab – The Spirit actress Eva Mendes offers some clear and concise responses in a new interview with Allure magazine.

Here are some highlights:

Eva on the Calvin Klein ads that were banned because they featured a nude Mendes rolling around in the sheets of a bed: “Can you trust me on this one for a second? My nipple — it is soooo not a big deal. You just see the nipple for a split second while I’m rolling around on a bed. That’s it!”

Eva on whether her stunning looks are helping or hurting her Hollywood career: “I’m not one of those actresses who says that because of my good looks I don’t get offered the right things. No! I’m not being offered the things I want because I haven’t shown my ability as an actress.”

Eva on her never-confirmed but highly reported stint in rehab last winter: “Ummmmm … I’m not confirming or denying rehab.”

Eva on her ditzy reputation: “I’m a smart cookie. You can’t do what I do and not be smart. But am I an intellectual? No. And I think that’s what I mean when I say I look for brains in men.”

    She is gorgeous but she should not be allowed to talk. She comes off stupid and arrogant. What a bad combo. And it is pathetic that she can’t admit that she was a cokehead. How else do you think she was able to get naked so many times in so many magazines? She has been a mess for the last few years.

    Nothing compassionate about wasting taxpayer dollars promoting a ‘lifestyle’ that spreads disease and death

    I dunno I kinda like her honesty, at least she’s not trying to be ‘clever’ about things (minus the rehab stuff). I’m glad she is not moaning about her looks not landing her serious roles.
    Cause that shit is getting boring, especially with Alba.

    All I keep thinking is… the “brainy” men she goes for must tire of her quick, once they get past her being hot. After a while, she would stop being amusing or cute to them… everything she would say would make them grind their teeth and bare it. Don’t get me wrong, she seems like a really sweet person but if you’re on completely different levels intellectually… the interest in the relationship would soon vanish out of boredom.

    I think she’s really sexy but I don’t think she’s a great actress and she doesn’t come across as very interesting or intelligent. I think the photos look hot but I really don’t like the cover, it’s a terrible choice and just doesn’t look good.
