Joining the growing list of enterprising celebrities is model/actress Eva Mendes. The 35-year-old’s Vida For Espana tabletop collection will debut at Macy’s stores all over the US next month.

Her new line of crockery is inspired by her Latin roots. According to a press release, “Vida for Espana is a hand-painted tabletop line featuring vibrant colors and elegant patterns that were inspired by Eva’s childhood memories of spending time at the table with family and friends.”

If you want to get a glimpse of Eva (or her new collection), then head over to Macy’s South Coast Plaza in California on Saturday, January 30. No, it’s not a meet-and-greet fan day! The actress is handing out autographed photos only to those who will get a minimum purchase of her products. See full details here.

When I last spoke about Eva Mendes I didn't have too many nice things to say about her acting. I'm sticking to that and suggesting that she take up a career as a professional model. Screw the acting game because to put it bluntly, she is a much better model than she is actor.

These pics aren't even the spicy ones, but I can't post those because my boss won't give them to me. He is in the back room using them to build a shrine or something, I don't know what he does back there. All I know is that there are a weird noises that come from that place every time he goes back there. It gives me nightmares.

If you look at her resume on IMDB you can see that as time goes on, she is casted in less and less stuff. I guess I'm not the only one that notices that her looks trump everything else. This isn't something she should be ashamed of, she needs to embrace the hotness and make the most of it while she can. It won't last forever, ask Madonna, Meg Ryan and Cat lady.

Now I have to ask if women even wear Calvin Klein jeans. I thought they were geared towards men and if they are, seeing a hot pic of Eva Mendes isn't going to convince me to wear them. Not when she looks better in them than I do.

Here is Eva Mendes in the Russian Elle. I always wondered why they had different versions of magazines and why most of them are ten times better than the American versions. I know we are more prudish in America, but that is no reason to leave us with the boring photo spreads.

In 2010, we need to start a warcry proclaiming our need for sexier photoshoots. For the ladies, show more men laying on unicorns topless. For the men, stop including words in magazines, we just need pictures.

Oh, you want me to talk about Eva? Well she isn't that bad of an actress. I find that I am usually hit or miss with her in movies. 2 Fast, 2 Furious she wasn't that good, while in...damn I can't think of a movie she was good in, but I'm sure one exists. I wonder if you are this good looking do you try to coast on your looks and don't worry about your acting chops, it would make sense.

Life must be hard when you look at it from that perspective. I'm being serious here, you want to be accepted for your abilities, but all people do is stare at your perfectly shaped breasts. What a tough life. They hand you a million dollars just for smiling. I feel so bad for her.

Who am I kidding? She deserves it, but that doesn't mean I have to respect her for it. That money should be mine. I am the one putting in the 28 hour years busting my bum trying to make a penny. When is my luck going to change? Probably when I stop looking like I got beat of the head with a chainsaw.

People are talking about EEva Mendes’ new perfume ad . Networks have banned it saying it’s too provocative.

The ad, for CK fragrance Secret Obsession, shows a nearly-naked Eva Mendes tossing about on an unmade bed. There’s a tiniest nano-second where you can see her nipple — but hardly hardcore porn.

Watch the video in the link and see if it’s really that outrageous.
