Fond of Jessica Alba but lukewarm on Leighton Meester?
Make a trade.
The actresses, along with the likes of Adam Brody, Kristen Bell, Hayden Panettiere, Scarlett Johannson, Giovanni Ribisi, Nick Cannon and Eva Mendes, are all to be featured on baseball-style trading cards.
The PopCardz series will include stats such as the celeb's favorite song, book, food, even their fears. "I'm afraid of the dark," admits Jessica Biel on the back of her card.
Benefiting charities like The Art of Elysium and Multiple Sclerosis Research Center of New York, the cards, which run about three dollars per pack of five, will launch the first week of November. Select retailers will be listed on popcardz.com.

Eva Mendes Loves Being 'Sexy'

What does Eva Mendes think about the ruckus over her banned commercial for Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession?
"I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity," the actress, 34, tells the Spanish edition of Vogue in its November issue. "We seem okay with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor. I'm not at all ashamed or frightened about showing my body."
Asked how she feels about being considered a sex object, Mendes says: "I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane."

Ellen Urges Ryan Seacrest to Fall in Love – Before It's Too Late
Originally posted 09/12/2008 04:35PM
Perhaps it's because she recently tied the knot herself, but Ellen DeGeneres seemed to be in a romantic mood while interviewing Ryan Seacrest for Monday's Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The new bride, 50, presses Seacrest, 33, on why he can't seem to find love, according to excerpts of the show. On a helpful note, she comes up with a suggested date – Eva Mendes – and even offers to set him up with the actress.
"I want to know what love is?" says Seacrest, who at the end of last year told PEOPLE his goal for 2008 was to make time for a personal life.

Eva Mendes: I'm Just One of the Girls
Originally posted 08/07/2008 07:00PM
On-screen, she's every guy's fantasy, but in real life Eva Mendes says she's a girl's girl.
"I don't understand women who don't like being with the girls," the actress, 34, tells Marie Claire for its September issue. "They say they'd rather be with the guys all the time? That it's just so much easier? I'm calling bull---- on that."
After starring alongside such leading men as Will Smith, Joaquin Phoenix and Denzel Washington, Mendes says her upcoming role in The Women was a welcome change.
"Every morning I got up and thought, 'I'm going to see Annette [Bening] today, I need to make sure she thinks I look cute,'" says Mendes. "Jada [Pinkett Smith]'s gonna be cute. Meg [Ryan]'s gonna be cute. I'd better be cute. I'm sure I sound like a ditz saying this, but it's a girl thing. A timeless, ageless, ethnicity-less girl thing."

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.

Originally posted 02/23/2008 10:50PM
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."
