EVA MENDES HAPPY NAKED WITH PETA

Beautiful Eva Mendes is happy to be back in favor with the fur activists at People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals after upsetting them with a fur coat faux-pas. The actress is PETA’s latest poster girl, baring all for a saucy new ‘I’d Rather Go Naked… Than Wear Fur’ campaign, shot in New York City. Mendes even admits she was more than happy to strip for the billboard, which she unveiled in Los Angeles on Thursday, after learning she was off PETA officials’ naughty list, where she landed after wearing a fur coat to a 2003 movie premiere. She said, "I was so floored by what they said that I said, ‘I promise I will never do it again.’" Mendes actually likes the idea of appearing naked on huge billboards in America’s leading cities. She tells online blogger Marc Malkin, "It’s very tasteful. It’s all in fun. It’s got a flirtatious, fun spirit about it. It’s not like come hither or anything like that."
