Sexy Eva Mendes knows why her new Calvin Klein perfume ad caused such a stir - it featured a little "nipple slippage".
Few people have seen the Secret Obsession promo because it was pulled from U.S. TV networks last month (Aug08) before it aired for being too provocative.
And Mendes thinks she knows what all the fuss is about.
She says, "I was rolling around in bed for the commercial spot and I had a little situation - one of the girls (breasts) wanted to say hello... Basically, I had a nipple slippage and it made the commercial cut because it was so natural and so beautiful and it was very quick.
"(Yet) the censors wouldn't have me for it (sic) and they pulled it."
The actress admits she's a little upset the sexy ad won't be seen on TV: "We can show guns everywhere and stuff but we can't show a woman's nipple; that's a bit backwards to me."
In seperate news the Hollywood actress Eva Mendes is terrified of paparazzi car chases - insisting some photographers go too far by driving dangerously in a bid to get a picture.
Mendes is often the focus of snappers when she is out and about in Los Angeles, and while she accepts that dealing with the media scrum is a part of life as a celebrity, she is adamant that some should take more care, especially on the road.
She says, "I've been followed and it's scary. You're a young woman alone in your car and you have a few guys in Suvs (sports utility vehicles) following you that won't let up. And the scary part is that they actually run red lights.
"I hate it when people say 'You're in this business, that's what you have to deal with'. No. You don't have to deal with harassment. You have to deal with your life being somewhat public.
"I heard George Clooney talking a few months ago about how he was being followed on a motorcycle and they were running lights and almost getting into accidents with other people and I've totally experienced that."

Eva Mendes' video shame
Eva Mendes hated being treated as a sexual object at the beginning of her career.
The Hollywood beauty - who appears in an explicit sex scene in the opening minutes of her new movie 'We Own the Night' - made her TV debut as a bikini babe in the video for Aerosmith's 'Hole In My Soul' but hated flaunting her body for money.
The 33-year-old star said: "In 'Hole In My Soul' I played a character created in a lab. I was wearing an American flag bikini. Pure class, I was so embarrassed.
"I walked off a rap video once. My first year in the business, I went out for any roles that would take me. But after a couple of videos, I told my agent, 'No more gyrating in bikinis.' On the next video, they brought in all these tiny sequinned shorts and bras, and I said 'I'm not wearing those.' They go, 'You said you wouldn't wear a bikini.' I needed money, so I was looking at this sequinned thing, going 'What do I do?' Then I saw a sign that said something like, 'Holding area for cash money hos.' I was like, 'I'm out', and I took off in my car. I'm proud of that moment."
Although Eva used to have reservations about showing off her body she is more comfortable with being a sex symbol now.
The Cubin star - who appears semi-naked in cop movie 'Training Day' - recently confessed she loves gardening in the nude.
She said: "I love being naked. I do everything in the nude, even the gardening!
"We're Cuban, and it's a hot island. Why not go nude?"
