Eva Mendes: W Magazine July 2010

Eva Mendes rocks a Miu Miu dress on the latest issue of W Magazine. Here’s what the 36-year-old shared:

On being nude in films: “I’ve never had a problem with nudity, but I don’t put it out there without a reason. I’m not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I’ll do anything almost. I’ll go there.”

On whether nudity worries her: “I know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol. It’s a hard one to walk if you want to be known as a real, credible actor. But I’ve never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident. . . . I’m incredibly calculated when it comes to my career.”

On playing a comedic role in The Other Guys: “It’s very hard for me to be seen as funny, and the truth is, that’s where I’m most comfortable. [This role] was completely liberating. Never have I had so much fun with a character and felt so natural at it. Had I done this movie three years ago, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to throw it back at Will, and now, if anything, I was overly confident. I didn’t know when to stop!”

On her ethnicity: “I don’t consider myself a Latin American actress. I was born and raised here, and I have Cuban parents, but for me, I am the new American girl. It’s not only Drew Barrymore and the blond Midwestern girl. This, [pointing to her face] is also what we look like now.”

I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I’ve #retired. I’ve never written the movies & tv shows I’ve been a part of.

Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten), is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues romance with local woman Clara (Violante Placido). But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.

Cameron Diaz: InStyle Magazine July 2010

Cameron Diaz sizzles in Gucci on the July cover of InStyle. Here’s what the Knight & Day dished about:

On dating: “It’s one thing when I answer questions for myself—it’s another thing when I answer questions and someone else is involved. It’s not fair to the other people in that equation.”

On motherhood: “I’m not opposed to it happening. Having children changes your life drastically, and I really love my life. Children aren’t the only things that bring you gratification and happiness, and it’s easier to give life than to give love. So I don’t know. That kind of change would have to be either very well thought out, or a total mistake—a real oops!”

La Vie en Rose Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard looks lovely on the July cover of Vogue magazine. Here’s what the 34-year-old shared:

On studying theater acting growing up: “As a teenager, I didn’t want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.”

On playing in the Expressionist-Surrealist band Yodelice fronted by composer Mazim Nucci: “I play the bass guitar, keyboard, and tambourine–I’m their one-woman band and all-purpose maid,” Cotillard explains. She’s taken to appearing with Yodelice on tour, dressed as a man, under “Simone,” the name of her maternal grandmother. “It’s pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.”
