Eva
Mendes Enjoying Post-Rehab Break
4/3/08
Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has blamed her hectic work schedule for
her recent stint in rehab - insisting she is now taking time off to
"take care of herself".
The star entered the Cirque Lodge clinic in Utah in February (08) to
seek "outside professional support" for "some personal
issues".
And the 34-year-old is convinced her decision to work on a string of
high profile movies without taking time out in between each film was the
reason behind her health problems.
She tells People Magazine, "(I'm) taking a break and having a good
time. I'm actually taking advantage of my time off.
"You know, I had a film that was pushed, so I'm home spending time
with my family, going to the gym and actually enjoying taking care of
myself...
"This year has been great for me because I've learned how to
relax. The last three years have been amazing but kind of crazy. So I
don't know, I feel grounded. I feel really good."
