Eva Mendes Determined to Give Up Nail Biting in 2007  1/2/07

Latina siren Eva Mendes is so determined to stick to her annual New Year's resolution she has enlisted the help of hypnosis to conquer her nail biting problem.

The actress reveals she has set herself the task of letting her fingernails grow for years, but her resolution never seems to last more than a few days.

The Hitchstar says, "For the 10th year in a row I will make a resolution to not bite my nails. And for the 10th year in a row I'm sure I will break that by 5 January.

"I think that's the longest I went without biting my nails. I'm meeting with a hypnotherapist in an effort to stop.

"I'm really happy about this because that's one of my things that I do that I no longer want to do."
