Eva Mendes Plays Coy on Rehab Details
Don’t look for Eva Mendes to be spillin’ all about her visit to rehab.
“There are so many lies out there regarding my recent trip to Cirque Lodge,” the starlet says in the new Interview magazine, out July 15. “But I don’t care what people think. I just don’t care. So I will neither confirm or deny.”
Mendes actually feels better when stories are wrong rather right…
“But for all the stuff that came out a few months ago about substance abuse, there were so many wrong stories,” she says. “I was so happy about that, because it’s when they get the real scoop that would make me really nervous…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.”
Mendes also sounds off on the obstacles she faces as a Latina in Hollywood, including not being considered for the same parts as her pal Drew Barrymore. “But it’s like, ’No we want more of an American type of girl,’” she explains. “And it’s like, American has opened up. I’m an American girl, born and raised. I mean, I was into New Kids on the Block, just like Drew! Actually, I shouldn’t say that. I don’t know if she was. I’m going to text her on that one.”
(For the record, Barrymore is shooting right now and couldn’t be reached to ask if she is, in fact, a New Kids fan, but her rep did respond, “We do love Eva, though!”)
Nicole Richie’s Amok in Chuck
Nicole Richie’s providing some fresh meat for Chuck.
NBC just confirmed that Richie will be popping into the spy series for an episode in which she plays the former high school nemesis of resident babe Sarah, played by Yvonne Strahovski. (So very Lohan on Betty, right?) Richie plays a “snarky and spiteful girl who tortured Sarah,” and something tells me she’s gonna so regret that when she sees that Sarah can split hairs with a Ninja knife. (Hooray for catfights!)
“Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny,” says Chuck boss Josh Schwartz. “This role is a great opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills and be diabolically evil and kick some butt.”

Johnny Depp: LA Father’s Day
Johnny Depp: LA Father’s Day
Most of the year, he calls France home, but Johnny Depp was spotted in Los Angeles, California yesterday, returning to his family for a Father’s Day celebration.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” stud took a private plane to LA, where he was seen shortly after landing as he made his way to a chauffeured SUV, en route to see his kids.
Depp has been spending the lion’s share of his time lately in Chicago where he’s been filming “Public Enemies,” a film set during the Great Depression involving an organized crime ring.
Johnny plays ganster John Dillinger, who, together with Pretty Boy Floyd (Channing Tatum), is trying to outrun the FBI. “Public Enemies” is slated for a July 1, 2009 release.
Jonas Brothers Chill at Camp Rock Premiere
Jonas Brothers Chill at Camp Rock Premiere
They’re well on their way to taking over the world! And the Jonas Brothers were in the house for the premiere of their new TV movie Camp Rock.
Camp Rock is scheduled to hit the Disney Channel airwaves next Friday, June 20th at 8pm, marking another milestone in the brotherly trio’s career.
Even the “Bonus Jonas” 8-year-old Frankie Jonas was in attendance yesterday, hamming it up for the camera and getting a jumpstart on his own career.
As far as Camp Rock, Joe plays Shane, the lead singer for a band called Connect Three and the movie’s main character. Nick plays guitarist/vocalist Nate and Kevin plays lead guitarist Jason. Not exactly a stretch character-wise, but it’s sure to be entertaining.
