Eva Mendes gets cheeky

Eva Mendes is backing a new PETA ad in front of the Ivy in Beverly Hills. And it's an attention grabber!
You can see the lovely Eva in such flicks as Training Day, Hitch, Ghost Rider, and most recently, We Own the Night.
"I recently got a dog and he's not only made me a happier girl — he's made me much more sympathetic to animal rights. I look at my beautiful dog and think, 'Of course I'd never eat him or skin him for his fur, so why would I be okay with eating a cow or wearing a cheetah?' It's just not right. It's a contradiction."
Tell 'em, girl.
