Eva Takes Out Her Claws


Eva Mendes apparently doesn't think much of Jennifer Lopez as an actress and is not shy about letting the world know it. While she thinks Jennifer does a little of this and a little of that, Eva is busy concentrating on being the best actress around.

Eva says that she actually cares about the craft of acting, while Jennifer is more concerned about the craft service. No, she didn't say that, but she did say that Jennifer cares more for the money and perks that go with being an actress than the actual craft of acting itself.

"I would like to think I will have a more serious career than J.Lo. We may both be of Latin origin but that’s where the comparisons stop. She manages her career like the head of a big corporation, whereas the only thing I care about is becoming the best actress possible."

Of course, Eva says this probably with a nice piece of hypocrisy in her mouth because, if I'm not mistaken hasn't Eva been everywhere lately doing all that CK stuff? Not exactly about the profession of acting, but more trying to make a name for yourself and getting as much money in your hands as fast as possible. Plus, she could have made the photos less wild, but then the attendant publicity would not have been there. While I admit that Eva is a better actress than Jennifer, I would also admit that anyone who has memorized any lines to their favorite television show or film is a better actress than Jennifer.

And why all the animosity Eva? Why the harsh words? See, I think it is because she needs attention. You don't have to say these kinds of things in an interview. You generally say them if you are just a very blunt person which Eva can be, but not always, or you are saying them for shock and attention which is the more likely scenario. Don't worry Eva, Jennifer isn't going to take that new role away that you both are up for. In fact, I don't think it will be either of you, but that is just me. What the hell do I know?
