Eva Mendes Speaks Out: I'm Taking Care of Myself

Originally posted 04/02/2008 06:00AM

After spending several weeks in rehab, Eva Mendes says she's "taking a break and having a good time" by exercising and being with her family.

"The sun's out again. It's my time," she told PEOPLE on Tuesday at a luncheon co-hosted by Fresh Cosmetics and the new clothing line Rose at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

At the event, Mendes, 34, squeezed into a Rose-designed dress – which she described as "chic" and "a little edgy" – with the help of adhesive tape, joking, "I didn't want to take too much of a chance" on a wardrobe malfunction.

Ellen Page took top honors at the Film Independent's Spirit Awards, winning best actress for her role in Juno, but Angelina Jolie's baby bump was the show stopper.

Page was up against Jolie's A Mighty Heart performance and took everything in stride.

"I'm just trying to go along with it, staying with a friend, having fun," Page told PEOPLE of Oscar weekend. "Just trying to remove myself in a way, and remember it's about film ... These nominations are a huge honor. It's exciting."

Eva Mendes Leaves Rehab – Temporarily

Originally posted 02/07/2008 03:05PM

After several weeks in rehab, Eva Mendes has left the Cirque Lodge in Utah – but will be back.

"Eva is attending to some personal business in Los Angeles and intends to return to complete her treatment shortly," the actress's rep said in a statement Thursday.

Friday, when it was announced that Mendes, 33, was in the Utah facility, where Lindsay Lohan was also treated, her spokesperson told PEOPLE, "Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support."

Eva Mendes checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge and has been in the facility, which deals with substance-abuse problems, for several weeks.

"Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva's privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details," her rep told PEOPLE Friday.

Cirque Lodge became a familiar name last year, when Lindsay Lohan checked in for treatment. The substance for which Mendes is being treated has not been reported.

What's not on Eva Mendes's Christmas list this year? A fancy fur coat.

The actress has signed on to be the newest face – and body – of PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.

The We Own the Night star joins glamour girls Alicia Silverstone, Christina Applegate, Christy Turlington and Pamela Anderson, who've all previously stripped down for the animal-rights group.

In a Q&A with PETA, the actress said she hasn't worn fur since her very first movie premiere, when her stylist sent her a fur wrap for the evening and Mendes "ignorantly wore it."
