Apparently there was a rumor that Joaquin Phoenix was dating Eva Mendes. The two starred in the film, We Own the Night and there were rumors that they were hooking up during the filming of the movie.
Phoenix says, "They had us dating before I even met her. That was f**king hilarious…We went out the first night to get some food, and there were photographers everywhere. I'm going, 'Who is this f**king chick?' Because I swear to God, I don't know who anyone is unless I've already worked with them.
"Feeling like you're being scrutinized is bad when you're working. It got to a point where we couldn't even hang out, because it became a thing…I'm always amazed at the gossip that is created out of nothing."
If he thinks the paparazzi attention that Mendes got was bad, how does he feel about Britney, Paris and Lindsay? But then again, I'm sure Eva Mendes doesn't call the paparazzi herself. Actually, I'm almost 100% positive she doesn't call the paparazzi herself. She doesn't strike me as the type that is desperate for attention.
