Last January Eva Mendes made headlines when she was shuttled off to the Cirque Lodge in
Utah for what the whispers were saying was a nasty drug abuse problem.   The year prior Eva had been working nonstop and was stretched about as thin as she could get from a professional standpoint, and the word was it all just got to her. She voluntarily checked herself into the Cirque Lodge but noone ever really found out the real reason for her rehab stint.  Her reps handled it very politically saying she just needed some time off, that it was a positive and proactive decision for her, and that Eva just needed some outside, professional support from the stress load she had been carrying.  Other than that, everyone was pretty mum about it, including Eva.  Now word is coming out that Eva may not have had a substance abuse problem at all, in fact, she was going to the Cirque Lodge for professional support yes, to get professional research accomplished for her next role.  Her next movie, ‘Queen of the South’ is about a woman who leaves Mexico to flee to
Spain when her drug runner boyfriend gets murdered. Sources are now wondering if Eva’s rehab time was spent doing research on the life of a drug addict. The Cirque Lodge is now famous for having sheltered Lindsay Lohan last year as well for bona fide drug issues, and they’ve also housed Mary Kate Olsen for her eating disorder.  Maybe Eva should have just had some one on one time with Lilo to save her the trouble, huh? Now wouldn’t you like to be a fly on THAT wall.
