HolyCandy: Eva Mendes and Joaquin Pheonix Spat

Eva Mendes, who reportedly dated Joaquin Phoenix while filming We Own the Night, said in an interview that doing the movie with him was “kind of like working with a puppy dog or a 2-year-old.”

Oh, that’s not fair. Two-year-olds don’t drink! Unless their last name is Federline…

Not one to ever stay quiet, Joaquin fired back via Playboy:

“Had I known I was supposed to be a puppy dog, I would have been much more cute and more consistently attentive. My apologies, Eva, but I had a few other scenes that you weren’t in. This puppy dog had a lot of work to do.”

Awwwww. Didn’t Eva’s parents teach her not to pick on the drugs- and alcohol-impaired? I’m gonna have to have a talk with that Sandra Bernhardt and Cindy Crawford. They obviously didn’t raise their daughter right.
