Doing her best to boost interest in her upcoming movie, Eva Mendes attended a screening of “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” at the SVA Theater in New York City on Sunday evening.

Looking ever-so-sexy in a carefully unbuttoned white blouse paired with a black skirt and black heels, the 35-year-old actress popped out of her top as she posed for pictures while mingling with guests including Susan Sarandon, Ice-T, Coco, Jennifer Mission and Amy Landecker, among others.

Due out in select cities on November 20th, Eva’s new flick “follows the drug and gambling riddled detective Terence McDonough (Nicolas Cage) as he investigates the killing of five Senegalese immigrants in post-Katrina New Orleans.”

Meanwhile, Eva was applauded by co-star Jennifer Coolidge for her high energy level during the filming process, as Miss Coolidge told press, “I was so exhausted after fighting with Eva because she’s really strong, and we had to fight over some drugs in a purse. She tired me out. … She has more energy than I have.”

Eva Mendes advises against taking Indian food into the bedroom.

The "Hitch" actress admits eating in bed is one of her worst habits but insists she will never be tempted to take curry under the covers again after a particularly bad experience.
She said: "I have so many guilty pleasures! One of them is to eat in bed while watching television. It sounds kind of gross but I absolutely love it."
"I love to watch my favorite program with my food on a tray on my lap."
"I’ve learned however that eating Indian may not be such a good thing to have in the bedroom. I’ve made that mistake before so never again!"
"But I am a huge snacker so you’ll always find me indulging in something."
Eva, who is the new ambassador for Magnum Temptation ice cream, admits chocolate is one of her favorite foods, but insists she trains hard to ensure she stays in shape when she indulges.
She explained to Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald newspaper: "I love chocolate! I like chocolate like no-one else and I love indulging."
"I work out almost everyday – at least five days a week."
"I put in a lot of time at the gym to ensure that I am able to indulge at other times. Pleasure is pain!"

Enjoying a solo evening out, Jessica Alba was spotted schmoozing with fellow celebrities at the Eric Ray Davidson: The New York Times Fashion Week Photo Diary event at Confederacy boutique in Los Angeles last night (March 20).

The “Good Luck Chuck” actress looked beautiful in an all-black ensemble as she mingled with stars like Liv Tyler and  during a night which also brought out Wilmer Valderrama, Bijou Phillips, Danny Masterson and Shane West, among others.

Earlier in the day Jessica was looking chipper as she exited a Toluca Lake home following a voice lesson, sporting a brown leather jacket overtop a plaid button-up with slim fit jeans and brown leather boots.

Though she’s never really been known for her singing ability, perhaps Ms. Alba is preparing for a singing role in an upcoming project.

Eva Mendes can’t live without spice. “The Spirit” actress enjoys a temperature-raising taste sensation and would take crushed red pepper and her boyfriend with her if she was ever stranded on a desert island.

She said: “My five desert island staples would have to be my boyfriend George Augusto, our dog Hugo, an iPod, the Sunday New York Times newspaper and crushed red pepper.”

The 43-year-old actress has also revealed she wouldn’t change a thing about her physical appearance.

She told Britain’s The Times newspaper: “I love and accept my body completely. I know that is not an interesting answer, but I really wouldn’t change anything. I’ve worked too hard on accepting it all!”

But while Eva – the daughter of Cuban parents – isn’t hankering after other actress’ looks, she is envious of those who tackle more challenging roles, especially double Golden Globe winnerKate Winslet.

She said: “I would steal Kate Winslet’s roles. All her roles. Not only is she the most amazing actress in the entire world, she’s done nude scenes in a lot of her films which shows she’s just fearless.”

Eva can currently be seen in comic book drama “The Spirit” alongside Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson.
