Mr Nice GuyEva Mendes should be less famous than me
February 5th 2008 08:31
In honour of my blog being given a domain, marking a small level of achievement within my mission to be an online celebrity that doesn’t get naked, I present to you the first of many posts about people that are famous for unknown, undeserving or non-existent reasons, who I hope to one day be more recognised than… without resorting to taking my clothes off.
On the subject of nudity, the first on the list, which I present to you in no particular order, is Eva Mendes.
Admit it, you know the name. And the face… and more than likely, the boobs. That’s because Eva Mendes is apparently an actress, who's apparently now in rehab. That’s what job profession she is credited as having successfully perused whenever a picture of her at a red carpet event is printed in a trashy magazine, or when they show footage of her on E! News or some such program buying expensive sunglasses or whatever it is that they have young celebrities doing that somehow constitutes as important enough to be considered “news”.
But here’s the thing… what has she been in? Was she on some ultra hip high school drama that didn’t make it to a second season but won loads of critical acclaim? Perhaps she was in one of those movies that no one was aware of until it swept the Oscars… or maybe she was a Bond girl? They tend to cast obscure attractive ladies in those films.
Alas, she didn’t fill any of these roles. She’s never even played the inexplicability hot wife of a fat, homely and somewhat chauvinistic father figure that is the centre of your clichéd family comedy created by the Fox network. The only movie I can think of her being in off the top of my head is a bit part in… wait for it… “A Night at the Roxbury”, and it’s embarrassing to admit that. Further research into her CV revealed to me that she has been in quite a few movies, several that I’ve even seen… obviously she played important roles and gave memorable performances in all of them.
By now you might be thinking, what is it that I have against Ms Mendes, as there are plenty of worse people out there who are more famous for much less. I guess when it comes down to it, my objection is more towards the industry in which she finds success. Let’s face it, she’s not talented at a level where she should be winning movie roles above every other female in the world that will kill to play those parts, despite how minor they are and the low quality of the films in which they are featured.
The whole point I’m trying to make is that Eva Mendes has found what success she has as an actress because of how she looks, not her acting ability. I know people will tell you that sometimes you have to “look right for the part”, but the mere fact that she got an agent and her foot in the door, when you consider some of the undiscovered talent that exists out there, astounds me.
So there you have it. Eva Mendes. The first of many people that I should be more famous than... if that’s even a proper sentence. Why? Why not? In terms of rocking, I’m sure I rock harder than she does. I’m pretty sure I saw her roller-skating in a Jessica Simpson video...
