Eva Mendes Unveils Campari Calendar
Eva Mendes Unveils Campari Calendar
Eva Mendes showed up ready to brighten the room, decked out in orange attire for the unveiling of the limited edition 2008 Campari Tales Calendar in Miami on Saturday night.
The Hitch hottie, who was photographed by Marino Parisotto for the 9th edition release, follows in the footsteps of actress Salma Hayek, who was previously featured in the exclusive release.
Press releases telling of what calendar buyers can expect read: “In its sizzling January shot, the Cuban-American beauty dresses up as Little Red Riding Hood and strikes an alluring pose with a snarling wolf in front of a burning fire.”
“March shows her in Little Mermaid character, draped seductively over a rock dressed in a skin-tight white basque, with two hunky male admirers pawing at her. Meanwhile, the 32-year-old thrills in a pair of sexy black thigh-high boots for May’s Puss In Boots theme, while perched on top of a cage of male admirers in the middle of the ocean.”
Sounds like a winner to us!
Eva Mendes and Joss Stone Get Naked For Jane
Eva Mendes and Joss Stone Get Naked For Jane
With the epidemic of poor body image tearing across the planet, it’s nice to see some women proudly bearing all that Mother Nature gave them. And for Eva Mendes, doing the cover of Jane Magazine in her birthday suit was fun.
The 33-year-old Hitch actress reveals that she doesn’t attribute her great shape to her diet. She says, it’s just a natural thing, and enjoys junk food because she’s so happy with her shape.
Eva probably made celebrity personal trainers cringe when she told press, “The combination of tacos and French fries, it’s heavenly. Throw in a shake in there, and you’ve got a party.”
And Mendes refuses to gripe about her figure. “I’m thankful that I’m healthy and that I have my limbs and a nice physique. Of course, there are things anybody wishes they didn’t have or wishes there were more of, but why even bring that up? I think it comes off as bratty.”
Oh, and for all you Joss Stone fans out there, don’t miss her Jane nude pics as well. Joss saw the opportunity to show the world how happy she is with her body, and she jumped on it.
It also may have had something to do with the fact that she is getting over a relationship, and wanted to do something independent. “I didn’t wear high-heeled shoes for the longest time. I would wear flip-flops because the guy I was with hated that I was tall - and tall can be beautiful! But because he hated it, it made me feel really insecure and I would try and make myself smaller - and that’s ridiculous. So now I wear great big f*ck off heels!”
With the plethora of male admirers drooling over them, it looks like Eva and Joss are doing something right.
January Jones Biography
Best known for her role as Alyson Hannigan’s sister in “American Wedding†(2003), the third installment in the “American Pie†comedy film series, pouty-lipped head-turner January Jones became almost as famous for her choice of notable beaus, as for her choice in movie roles.
The 5’ 7†beauty was born, fittingly, on Jan. 5, 1978 in Sioux Falls, SD. However, her parents came up with the name after reading a Jacqueline Susann book called Once is Not Enough, featuring a character named January Wayne. While attending Roosevelt High School, Jones spent her pre-modeling, pre-Hollywood time toiling away at a local Dairy Queen.
At age 18, she moved to New York City and made her first mark as a stunning model for hip suburban clothier Abercrombie & Fitch. After making the requisite move to Los Angeles, Jones made her acting debut with a small role in the independent film “All the Rage†(1999), starring Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin. Jones followed this with a guest appearance in the Fox TV pilot, “Get Real†(1999). Two years later, she had her biggest break to date when she landed a role in her first major motion picture, the teen-oriented thriller “Glass House†(2001), starring Leelee Sobieski.
Like all young and beautiful starlets on the cusp of fame, Jones quickly became a fixture on the young Hollywood scene. Her blonde beauty attracted a variety of male admirers, including a relatively unknown pre-Demi stud named Ashton Kutcher. The couple, who reportedly met in 1998 at an Abercrombie & Fitch shoot, dated for three years – until Kutcher became enchanted with the older actress Demi Moore. Jones moved on to funnyman extraordinaire Jim Carey and “American Wedding†co-star Sean William Scott before meeting and falling for pop-classical singer and favorite “Oprah†guest, Josh Groban in 2003.
Jones continued to hone her acting chops, landing roles in a variety of high-profile projects: as a bank robber in the Bruce Willis-Billy Bob Thorton crime comedy “Bandits†(2001); as a memorable lesbian sexpot with temperament issues in the Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson hit comedy, “Anger Management†(2003); and as an British tourist in the hit romantic comedy, “Love Actually” (2003). At the same time, Jones was featured as #82 in Maxim magazine’s “Hot 100 of 2002″ supplement. Next up was the star-making role of Cadence Flaherty, the beautiful sister and maid of honor to the not-so-blushing bride, Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) as well as the love interest of the obnoxious hound, Stiffler (Sean William Scott) in “American Wedding†(2003). While the film tanked, Jones had received her first major coverage for a role that she had won from literally thousands of on-the-brink ingenues.
Looking for further challenges, Jones learned to 50’s swing dance for her role in “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights†(2004), the critically maligned sequel to the 1987 dance classic. She journeyed back to the small screen, appearing in the recurring role of Marissa Wells on the Showtime comedy series, “Huff” in 2004. The actress continued to expand her range as a dramatic actress by portraying Barry Pepper’s repressed wife in Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones’ directorial debut, “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada†(2005). The prestigious film – a first for Jones – won Best Screenplay and Best Actor awards at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
