Wow, I'm going to go ahead and say I didn't see this one coming. According to TMZ, Eva Mendes is in rehab at Cirque Lodge (LL's former stomping grounds) in Utah. She has apparently been there for a few weeks dealing with a substance abuse problem. We saw her in Paris in mid-January, so it must have been pretty soon afterwards that she decided to get help for whatever she is battling. We wish her the best on her road to recovery.

UPDATE — Eva's rep has released the following statement: "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."

    wow, there was a blind item not too long ago about a certain starlet that was battling a major coke addiction, I thought it was Selms Blair, but maybe it was Eva. She is the least likely person I would think would do drugs.

    That's as out of the blue as Justin Chambers psych ward check in.

    Good for her for taking care of it before it became a bigger problem in her career and life. Hope it goes well.

    Casting directors should get ahead of the game and just go straight to rehab centers to scout for actors.

    I'm pretty shocked too! I thought she was half way normal, at least for a celeb. Usually you can tell when someone has issues, just goes to show you never really know celebs AT ALL!

    Good point pinkprincess-

    Britney needs dozens of police escorts (how much did that cost the tax payers?) and Eva has been there for weeks without anyone knowing.

    I knew Britney would be brought up!

    Wow, Eva. Wow. Good for her for getting help. My guess would be coke. It seems like the top drug in the industry. Models, actresses, singers, etc. Gotta be skinny, gotta be up all night at parties, gotta be awake for this and that and yeah...too much.

    Agree. This one is out of left field.

    I’m going to change my perception of celebrities and now I will just assume that everyone in Hollywood IS addicted to something... that way I'm pleasantly surprised to find out a star is clean rather then being disappointed that another one has succumbed to temptation (if that’s what you want to call it).

    I'm not surprised by any substance abuse problems anymore, it seems like everyone has one, and if they don't, they're boring

    I'm surprised. There was a rumor a few months ago that she was pregnant. Now, that doesn't make sense.

    Good for her. I have seen many people that appear to have no addictive problem on the outside -- they are all put together well. I wish her healing and courage to get through her journey.

    Completely shocking. She seemed like she had her life on track and the Hollywood demons weren't getting to her.

    I agree most of hollywood is on something! Thats probably why whenever they are asked about other celebs with drug problems they always have nice kind loving words because they know their ass is taking drugs also!
