Eva Mendes Channels Amy Winehouse For New Film

By Michael Lopez

No, Eva Mendes will not be starring in The Amy Winehouse Story. But the 37-year-old actress did channel the fallen singer on the set of her new film, Holly Motors. Sporting a beehive hairdo, black eyeshadow, and a leopard-print jacket, Eva was a dead ringer for the late great Amy.

Holly Motors is currently being shot in France and follows the adventures of a man who inhabits several different lives. Looking at Mendes' getup, we're assuming one of them takes place in the swinging 1960's.

The film also stars Kylie Minogue and will feature a primarily French cast. So far, there's no word on whether or not Eva will be doing any singing in the movie. But judging by the way she's dressed up, we're hopeful they can stick "Rehab" into at least one scene.

And don't worry mainstream movie fans, Mendes won't be acting in French art house films forever. Outside of Holly Motors, she's set to star in the comedy Girl In Progress and, quite possibly, the eagerly-anticipated Fast Six!
