The always candid Eva Mendes opens up about her recent rehab stint at Utah’s Cirque Lodge in the new issue of Interview magazine.
Eva on rehab:
“I”m not angry. 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.”
Eva on racism in the entertainment industry:
“What makes it frustrating is when a director or a studio head doesn’t see me for the same part that they’ll see, let’s say, Drew Barrymore for. Drew’s a great friend of mine. But it’s like, ‘No, we want more of an American type of girl.’ And it’s like, America has opened up. I’m an American girl, born and raised.”
Eva on whether she finds being Latin in Hollywood a challenge:
“I would never call it a challenge. I think being a woman in Hollywood is a big enough challenge. It really is, man. I don’t want to be one of those people who complain. But the lack of roles out there–it’s unbelievable. I read a lot of scripts. I believe you’ve got to read one that you know you’re not going to do, because you’ve got to educate yourself on what’s out there to make the best decision for you. So it’s challenging being a woman. Then there are other kinds of obstacles that come your way, but there are many times that being Latin has actually helped me, being a Cuban-American has helped me.”

Jennifer Lopez takes her twins out and gives paparazzi a Max and Emme baby photo op. Below is their debut in People magazine.
Interesting. This may be a bit photoshopped, but those babies look an awful lot like Marc Anthony.

Sunday was born Monday. That makes no sense really. But Nicole Kidman has given birth to her first biological daughter. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban was born early this morning in Nashville. (I believe that is the Keith Urbanmothership.)
“Husband Keith was by Nicole’s side, and mother and baby are very well,” said spokesman Paul Freundlich, who added that the couple were “delighted” to make the announcement. He also said the baby girl weighed 6 lbs., 7.5 oz.”
Operation No-Scientology-for-Me-Thank-You has reached a new level. Kidman’s two children she adopted with Tom Cruise are now expected to compete with a baby that I image came out with some killer highlights and a stick straight weave.
Who am I to judge? Those Nicole Kidman first baby photos are going to bring in some scratch!

Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone’s tell-all book, “Life with My Sister Madonna,” is due to be released next Tuesday.
One of the scandalous tidbits include her several lesbian affairs, including a lip-lock with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Notedly a hit below the waist — and by family to boot. It will be interesting to see how Madonna deals with all of this, she is quite the radical.
