Gregg DeGuire/WireImage.comWelcome back, Eva Mendes?
The recently rehabbed beauty has popped up in Hollywood for Oscars weekend. First, she was spotted at CAA honcho Bryan Lourde's pre-Oscars bash on Friday night. (I'll have more about Lourde's shindig later today.)
And then on Saturday, Ms. Mendes hit the Film Independent's Spirit Awards. She was onstage as a presenter and even made a quick trip to Elle magazine and Biolage's backstage lounge, followed by some swagging in the On 3 Productions gifting tent.
I’m told Mendes picked up a new white AT&T Palm Centro Smartphone and an organic cotton T-shirt from C&C California Apparel emblazoned with "Go Paperless."
"She was surrounded by a crowd of people, so no one could really talk to her," an onlooker reports. "She stopped by a few booths, went halfway through the tent and then snuck out the side." No surprise, but she declined to take photos at Elle or On 3.
No word yet from Mendes' rep if she's planning to return to rehab or if she's completed her treatment.
Meanwhile, Allison Janney was mortified when she realized she was picking up swag as her Juno costar Ellen Page was winning Best Female Lead. "I can't believe I wasn't in there!" she said as she watched Page give her acceptance speech via a television monitor. "I feel so ashamed that I’m here getting free stuff."
Even so, Janney continued swagging. And then, much to her horror, she missed out again when Juno snagged the final award of the day for Best Feature. "Oh my God!" she shrieked, as she was handed a yearlong VIP card to AMC Theaters. "Are we all getting up there? Oh my God, I need to leave!"
And that she did, running out of the tent.
But Ms. Janney did grab her gift bag on the way out. And what was in it? Valentino shades from the Solstice Sunglass Boutique, a bottle of Dior Beauty’s Diorissimo perfume, a white Nespresso machine, a Bowers & Wilkins speaker system and a one-of-kind gold python clutch from Carlos Falchi.
Imagine how much more she could have taken home if Juno had lost!
