Actress Eva Mendes has a lot in common with the host of 'Chelsea Lately.' Apart from sharing a taste for shoes with really super-high heels, both Mendes and Chelsea Handler admit they have an aversion to getting married.Mendes believes in true love and spiritual unions and all that good stuff -- she's just not into having a piece of paper to seal the deal. "We were doing it for land originally. I mean, how unromantic is that?" she asked.
"Well," replied the ever-practical Handler, "if we were doing it for land now I'd probably be more interested."
We're sure Ms. Mendes would have no shortage of willing grooms-to-be lining up if she ever decided to change her mind, but for now she thinks it's much sexier to be able to refer to your "boyfriend" rather than "husband" when you're in your 50s or 60s.

She forgot to mention the main reason-- she's a lesbian. People get thrown off by her beauty but I'm pretty sure she is gay.
I agree about the marriage thing. It might have been a good idea at one time, but not these days. Today marriage is a joke...most people feel like marriage is an institution and who wants to be in an institution? Besides, just about everywhere you look people (especially men) are cheating on each other.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that she was ALREADY married (to Bradley Cooper)????
Reply
because she wasn't that may be why
I think you're confusing her with Jennifer Esposito, whom he was married to for less than a year from 2006-2007.
Just a note. I thought you'd like to know that Bradley Cooper was married to Jennifer Esposito, not Eva Mendes. =D
She says she will never marry because she just can't find anyone to ask her.

I stand corrected ~ Jennifer Esposito was married to Bradley Cooper (LUCKY lady!!!). ;-)

Eva definitely has a point of view, but I'd be interested in a 30-year from now update. Today "It's all good."

Great marriage for 18 years with the BEST wife! Eva is a definite tomato, no argument.

One of the biggest mistakes I ever made, was getting married.
Most men now days, have been taught not to take care of any woman. So when they want to marry they ask their girl friends to work, keep the house up, and have kids,, but they want to be called the 'provider.'
Mine waited until after we were married, then threw this on me.
Times have changed, why marry when it fails more than not?
Divorce is expensive, and all too often, we lose everything we ever worked for in a divorce. I have saved time, and money being alone, and would not change it for anyone, ever again.

To each their own. A wedding is just a party for two people which can easily be thrown without that pesky (and these days, largely useless and over-priced) marriage certificate. If I ever find someone worth marrying, we'll probably be together for years before we ever marry, so we won't need gifts and we'll have shared our vows in actions rather than words already. At that point, I'll just buy a pretty dress and we can throw a big party for our friends. No one actually likes the ceremony anyway, but who doesn't love a celebration and an excuse to dance?

i wonder why she gets no credit for being in "fast five"? look after the credits roll, then see what i mean!
