Eva Mendes is seen here looking like nothing less than her glamorous self at the Macy’s 150th Birthday Celebration Gala at Gotham Hall in New York City. And yes, this red she is wearing is definitely stunning, but Eva hasn’t just been wearing red, she has been seeing it as well. Particularly when it comes down to a cat fight that may be brewing between her and Salma Hayek. It sounds like Eva is more than a little disgruntled over the choice of baby names given to Salma’s daughter, and that Eva is furious with Salma for taking ‘her’ baby name. Salma’s daughter’s name is of course Valentina Paloma, and Eva has blasted Salma for baby name stealing. What?? Is it just me or does it feel like we are stuck in a rerun of Sex and the City?? Baby Valentina, Salma’s child is now a year old, and was born in September 2007. Eva and Salma are apparently very good friends, and Eva had disclosed her future baby name to Salma at some point in their friendship. Eva says she blasted Salma when she found out:

Salma took my baby name. Valentina Paloma. I was like, ‘Salma, you took my baby name!’ And she’s all, ‘What are your other ones so that I don’t take them’

Oh brother. So I guess the answer is yes we ARE in fact stuck in a Sex and the City episode. And considering that Eva doesn’t even HAVE children, I think we know who wins this battle. But Eva says that despite this little wrinkle in their friendship with the baby name thing, she still respects Salma immensely and still considers her a true friend. She says that of all Hollywood starlets, Salma is the one she looks up to, that she has gone about her career the right way and that she respects her completely. She considers Salma one of the most inspirational women in the world, and so, despite the baby name broo ha ha, this won’t come between them. Awww….sounds like a whole lot of huballoo about nothing then. Doncha just wish some days you had these problems??

Ah yes, the style icons in Tinseltown have been waiting on pins and needles this week for the long awaited annual 10 Best Dressed Stars list of People Magazine. Hmm….who do you think made the cut? You will probably notice that there are few if any surprises, but let’s keep in mind there are only 10 slots to fill, and yes, I am sure there was some disappointment in Hollywood once the names were announced. Not surprisingly at all, Sarah Jessica Parker hit the list for probably her umpteenth year in a row, and was chosen due to her ‘expert eclectic style’ and I love that. Anne Hathaway has been wowing designers ever since she broke it big in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ and she made the cut, along with Charlize Theron, Rihanna, Eva Mendes, and of course Kate Hudson. Heidi Klum hit the list for being ‘Model Chic’ and one surprise I noted was Fergie, who was described as a ‘Refined Rocker’. I don’t think she has any style ‘issues’ per se, however, she wouldn’t make a top 10 in my books. Another surprise came from Gwyneth Paltrow’s appearance on the list, and she was chosen for her evolution in the fashion world this year, having ‘revved up her classic look’ as we see here now less preppy and more in the thigh baring mini dresses and mongo heels. What DID surprise me the most was seeing Michelle Obama’s name appear, and her style was defined as ‘Classy and Confident’ and again, though I am not saying she is not a very well dressed lady, there were a few Tinseltown style queens that were probably a little pouty about being beat out by Michelle Obama. Those pouts I am sure are hanging on the lips of Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes, two infamously impeccably styled women that well….just didn’t make the cut this year. Sorry girls. Better luck next year.

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.
