EVA MENDES - MENDES IN REHAB

MENDES IN REHAB

Actress EVA MENDES has checked into the Utah rehab facility where LINDSAY LOHAN spent last summer (07). Reports suggest the Hitch star is battling substance abuse issues and was admitted to Cirque Lodge last month (Jan08), according to TMZ.com. But while Mendes' publicist has confirmed she is seeking treatment, the spokesperson has refused to state the exact purpose of her stay. Her representative says, "Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva's privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details."
