Eva Mendes called out an Interview reporter for making light of her stint in rehab. The reporter said that AA should be changed to "Alcoholics Unanimous" in Hollywood since everyone is in treatment, and Mendez responded, "I'm not making jokes, because people die from this stuff…So, honestly, I think it's a bit tacky that you made a joke. I've got to be honest." • Angelina Jolie remains in the hospital, but last weekend's visits from her brother James and son Maddox surely brightened her day. • A-Rod's divorce lawyer is named Ira Elegant.

Fashion Victims: Paris Couture Week Brings Out The Megafans In France
When you think about it, going to a fashion show dressed head-to-toe in that designer's work is like going to a Yankee game in full pinstripes. Read: kinda lame. When you think about it even more, going to another continent to watch some women in conceptual clothing walk down a catwalk for fifteen minutes is weird, too. But hey, the rich are different from you and me! And as evidenced by the getups after the jump, the shows of Paris Couture week are a great excuse to wear some rad outfits without the pressures of The Carpet. Click through to see the fashions of Liv Tyler, Eva Mendes, Anna Wintour, Patricia Arquette, Helen Mirren and Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter. More »

Cartier's Annual Loveday: "Love" Is Blind… And Hideous
The official name of this event was "The Annual Loveday Celebration and Cartier Love Charity Bracelet Launch." None of which really explains why A-listers like Rosario Dawson, Fergie and Eva Mendes congregated at some "private residence" in L.A. yesterday. (Maybe the bracelets were given out as party favors?) Anyway, a satisfying gallery of good, bad and baffling awaits the intrepid, after the jump.

The Women Trailer [Yahoo]
Updated: Why Won't Warner Embrace 'The Women'? Or Will It? And What Other Female Film Isn't Getting Love There? [Deadline Hollywood Daily]
Ultimate Chick Flick The Women Is Finally About To See The Silver Screen
Here's the trailer for The Women, the Diane English remake of the 1939 George Cukor film based on the play by Clare Booth Luce. According to Nikki Finke, the movie — which features an all-female cast (Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Bette Midler, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Debi Mazur, Joanna Gleason, Carrie Fisher, Lynn Whitfield and Cloris Leachman) and is directed and produced by a woman as well — had a dicey future, despite the fact that Sex and the City proved that women actually, you know, go to see movies. It took 15 years to get The Women made, and male studio execs, whom Finke refers to as the "he-man woman-haters club" were about to shut the movie down, but had a change of heart and the film will now be released this September.The Women Trailer [Yahoo]

Details Writer Thinks Farting Females Are Gross
"Neo-Cavewomen." "Bog Beasts." "Female Shreks." These are all terms that Details writer John Sellers uses to describe women who have the audacity to enjoy the humor in their bodily functions. He uses Cameron Diaz, Eva Mendes, and Jenny McCarthy as prime examples of these "vulgar vixens." "It would be one thing if these female Shreks were cut from the same cloth as Roseanne Barr or Rosie O'Donnell," Sellers reasons. "But the trouble is they're all smoking hot. It's their job to primp and preen and push stuff up to look sexy—what's the point of putting in all that effort if you're only going to undermine the whole operation with gruesome behavior?" First of all, most women aren't monitoring their own behavior to remain attractive to men 24/7. Secondly, even if Sellers is just joking, he's still trafficking in the well-worn, outdated idea promoted by other glossy magazines that women should give a fuck what guys think of their bodily functions.

So it smells like silver paint and wasabi? • Natascha McElhone's husband, plastic surgeon Martin Kelly, died from a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy.

Pray For Marc Jacobs
- "It's out of control. There's always a different boy and everyone is worried he's going to pull a Halston." That's an anonymous friend of Marc Jacobs on the increasingly-erratic fashion designer. [Page Six]
- Ouch: David Lauren was not invited to his girlfriend (of three years) Lauren Bush's cousin Jenna's wedding. You know, Jenna Bush: Daughter of the POTUS. Apparently the Bush clan think David is too old for Lauren. Oh, and also too Jewish? Awkward. [Rush & Molloy]
- Kristin Davis is pissed about the injustices she faced making the Sex and the City movie: "It's in the contract that we get to keep our outfits, which is a fantastic thing, except that, for me, all of my outfits were samples. I kept my running pants, which I love and wear them a lot, but I was like, Where are my clothes?" [E!]

Ellen Page To Star As One Of English Literature's Saddest Sacks
Another day, another round of casting announcements chock full of stereotypes. While older actresses like Susan Sarandon have their pick of saucy-yet-loving-powerful-woman roles, the younger actresses who have yet to convince everyone they're talented sometimes pick up a few victim roles along their march to Serious Actress territory. Maybe it's because they are still pretty "fresh faces", but these talented actresses still succumb to playing victimized lovers, even in supposedly intellectual and interesting films. In this edition of Hookers, Victims, and Doormats, Ellen Page pretends she is "plain" in Jane Eyre and Eva Mendes continues to mimic Angelina Jolie's action film career. All that and more after the jump! More »

Says the designer, "[W]e feel that with our European-influenced approach, the sophisticated and higher level of quality and fashion somehow reaches the type of people who represent the brand very well... Ten years ago it was positioned with a lot of red, white and blue and a lot of logos and you would look at these street kids wearing the clothes as billboards." [FT]
