Eva Mendes Blames That Silly Rehab Stay On Very Serious Bout Of Method Acting

8:20AM Molly Friedman | What better way to annul your time spent in rehab than by pulling the old “It was just research!” card? That’s what Eva Mendes is allegedly claiming, pegging her January stay at Le Cirque in Utah to an upcoming role in Queen Of The South where she’ll play a female drug lord or, as some have termed the character, “the female Scarface.” At the time, so-called insiders came forward saying Mendes was everything from a “closet drinker” to a prescription drug addict. Though it’s a nice thought that Mendes’ month-long stay alongside real-live drunk Kirsten Dunst was just a hush-hush effort to really feel like a druggie, we took a look at the timeline coupled with Mendes’ past, and find the excuse weak at best: More »

Eva Mendes Latest Victim Of Cirque Lodge’s Non-Miraculous Healing Powers

7:51AM Molly Friedman | That Cirque Lodge in Utah sure sounds like one helluva wonder drug. After spending several weeks there attending to what TMZ claimed was a“substance abuse” problem, Eva checked out on February 7th (the same day Kiki Dunst checked in!), but was recently seen joyriding through the weekend party circuit. (Lest you forget, Ms. Mendes was once a Campari model.) But Eva’s not the only Cirque alum who hasn’t quite kicked whatever habit they went in there with; illustrious fellow Cirque-ers include David Hasselhoff, Mary-Kate Olsen, Richie Sambora and our favorite topless “art” model, Lindsay Lohan. So how well did each of these stellar examples of tip top health fare after leaving the Lodge, sober certificate in hand? From hamburgers to hoovering powder on the beach, the verdict is in.

Eva Mendes For CK Fragrances: A Floral Blend of Gin, ‘Cane and Boozy Burps?

10:36AM Defamer US Edition | Calvin Klein has always been a fan of drugged-up stars, but this morning’s announcement that the designer picked Eva Mendes to star in his Spring `09 fragrance campaign makes him look less like a “fan,” and more like a druggie Obsessive (uh, get it?). Klein, of course, is not only the man behind those heroin chic denim ads featuring (ahem!) Kate Moss in the 90s, but he’s also been in and out of the revolving rehab door once or twice himself. While TMZ reports that the designer’s decision to feature Eva in ads for the spring spreads came hours before her announcement, we’re starting to wonder if Klein isn’t just some pill-popping, powder-snorting design wiz like the rest of ‘em.

4:56AM Seth | It’s not always easy to be able to look in the mirror and admit to oneself that perhaps you’ve been having 2 Much 2 Drink (or 2 Snort/Pop/etc…) lately, so we applaud Eva Mendes’s decision to voluntarily submit herself to the detoxicizing miracle workers at Cirque Lodge. If they can tame the fire-eyed Cokepant Demon that was Lindsay Lohan, we have no doubt that whatever self-medicating bumps Mendes has encountered along the road will be smoothed away by the fresh Utah air and some sober-horseback-riding therapy.
