Eva Mendes is Tired

Spicy — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:34:03 +0000

Eva Mendes looking a little worse for wear at the premiere of ‘Baaria’ and the opening ceremony of the 66th Venice Film Festival.

Did someone party a little too hard the night before? Sure looks like it.

Since her rehab stint back in February 2008 for ’substance abuse problems’, I can’t help but raise a skeptical eye every time I see her looking a little hungover. I know I am going to take some flack for this, but honestly, I still think she has a drug problem.

If you remember, back when Eva checked herself into rehab there was a huge buzz that she had suffered a cocaine miscarriage beforehand. It was the miscarriage that caused her to seek treatment. But by the looks of things, I’d say it was all for nothing.

Check out this crazy blind item that was later revealed to be Mendes about a bizarre visit to Starbucks a couple years ago.

Eva Mendes Gets Grilled About Substance Abuse

Spicy — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:31:15 +0000

Eva Mendes is in the upcoming issue of Interview magazine and the interviewer brought up substance abuse, in a sometimes tasteless manner.

Eva was treated at Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehabilitation center earlier this year.

David Colman: Now let’s talk about substance abuse. My favorite topic.

Eva Mendes: Great.

DC: First of all, what is it with actors and substance abuse?

EM: I don’t know. I’m not a spokesperson for any kind of substance-abuse organization.

DC: They’re going to have to change the name of it to “Alcoholics Unanimous.”

EM: [silence]

DC: I’m sorry, that’s a bad joke.

EM: I’m not making jokes, because people die from this stuff. So, honestly, I think it’s a bit tacky that you made a joke. I’ve got to be honest.

DC: You’re angry. Listen . . .

EM: I’m not angry. People have died, and I’ve lost friends too–even recently. So I can be a little sensitive on the subject.

DC: Look, I haven’t had a drink in 11 years. I’m just trying to be light-hearted about it, because it’s an awkward topic.

EM: I’m not angry. But because celebrities’ lives are so visible, I think it makes it look lighter than it is. I have a really good sense of humor, I’m just very sensitive. The other day I was reading an article. I don’t even remember who the actress was, but she’s been around for a long time. She said something like, “I’m proud that I’ve had a whole career without making it to rehab.” I thought, That’s such a negative twist on it. 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. Again, I’m not a spokesperson for this, but it’s just that I want to support people for their decisions when they do go in and get help.

DC: You might think it’s a new problem, but it’s probably only because people are quicker to say, “Okay, I’m going to rehab. Let’s get it over with.”

EM: It’s because everybody is so highly visible now. We see everything. We see what celebrities buy at the supermarket. It’s ridiculous. It’s that visibility. I’m confused by this whole celebrity-obsessed culture. It’s really weird.

DC: Again, I wasn’t trying to be . . . Well, I was trying to be flip, but not trying to be dismissive. I do take it very seriously myself. You could just say, “I don’t want to talk about that.” Which is fine.

EM: I’ve given you a more interesting answer, I hope, than to just say, “I don’t want to talk about it.” [laughs] There are so many lies out there regarding my recent trip to Cirque Lodge. But I don’t care what people think. I just don’t care. So I will neither confirm nor deny. I think now we just know way too much about our celebrities. It’s not that interesting when you know that much about people. I have no ego about me. It’s just better for you not to know, because it really
does make me a better actor at the end of the day. You’re not going into the movie with all
these specifics about me.

DC: I don’t know what I would do if all my business was out there . . .

EM: You know what? You wouldn’t feel that bad, because so much of it is not true. Actually, the media has been pretty nice to me. They’ve really trashed some people, so I’m actually thankful that it didn’t get too crazy. But for all the stuff that came out a few months ago about substance abuse, there were so many wrong stories. I was so happy about that, because it’s when they get the real scoop that would make me really nervous. It’s a relief, in a way. You want it to be a lie, because when it’s true, that’s when I’d be like, “Oh, my God!” It’s time to rethink who’s in your circle, because stuff got out.

Blind item from today’s NY Post:

Which actress went into rehab only after she suffered a miscarriage? She was on a four-day cocaine bender when she lost the baby she didn’t even know she was carrying .

Yikes Eva, FOUR days? That’s pretty major. Just goes to show that [almost] everyone is Hollywood is a coke-head. Even the squeaky clean ones.

Eva Mendes in Rehab!

Spicy — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:44:58 +0000

Wow, ultra-hottie Eva Mendes is at the famous Cirque Lodge near Sundance, Utah.

Yes, it’s the same one Lindsay went to.

Eva has apparently been in rehab for several weeks for substance abuse. Her rep is understandably keeping quiet about the situation right now.

This one sort of shocks me. I say ’sort of’ because pretty much everyone in Hollywood is high. Everywhere they go there is dope/pills/booze for the taking. I just don’t see Eva as a coke head, it has to be pills? Regardless, best wishes go out to Eva in her recovery.

2007 MTV Movie Awards

Spicy — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 21:08:56 +0000

I just had to watch this years show being as it was hosted by Sarah Silverman.

And she didn’t disappoint.

The highlight of the evening for me was Sarah’s opening monologue. Specifically when she mocked Paris Hilton going to jail..

"In a couple of days Paris Hilton is going to jail. (laughter erupts) The judge says that it’s going to be a no frills thing, and that is totally ridiculous. She is totally going to get special treatment. In fact, I heard in order to make her feel more comfortable in prison the guards are gunna paint the bars to look like penises."

The audience roars..

"I think it’s wrong too. I just worry that she is going to break her teeth on those things."

The crowd goes wild. Cameras cut to Paris looking pissed but forcing a smile…

Heh.
