NEWSEva on Her Racy Ad: "This is Beautiful"

Sept. 5 2008, Published 7:38 a.m. ET
In a steamy ad for Calvin Klein's "Obsession" perfume, Eva Mendes is seen rolling naked on a bed, partially covered in a white sheet. Suddenly she rolls over once more and oops - her nipple is exposed.
The too-hot-for TV commercials were banned from appearing in the U.S., a move that Eva says surprised her.
“That was just a natural accident and when I saw it, I said, ‘Yeah, I support this. This is beautiful,' " she tells Extra in an interview airing tonight. "I had no idea I was going to be treated like such a provocative woman."

Although the lovely starlet and her body are buzzworthy today, Eva says that wasn't always the case.
“I was awkward looking and I still am awkward looking, but I embrace that now," she says of her adolescence and being teased by the other kids. “I couldn’t gain weight... Because I was little and small framed and I couldn’t gain weight, I was all mouth."
