We'll never see that baby

That's exactly what I was thinking. Speaking of which, it's incredible how she has been able to elude the paparazzi and there hasn't been one picture of her baby bump. I hear that she is locked up in her house, but somehow I find that hard to believe. If she is so guarded about her womb [give me a break!] as if pregnancy which is a normal human process were some enormous private issue deserving of hermetically sealed secrecy, she will not allow anyone to gaze upon her child. But how exactly will she do that? Will she pull a Michael Jackson and put a mask on her child every time that she is out in public with him?
Eva is annoying. She has a right to her privacy, but she is a performer and her life is in the limelight. If she wanted so much privacy, she should have become a librarian, a teacher or an accountant, etc not a performer who cheeses it up to the camera and lives off her fans. Because if her fans stop watching her movies and they stop making money, her luck will change quickly. I bet if that were to happen, you would see her become a lot less ridiculously secretive. -

I may be disgusting, but if you can't see the connection between an actor, the lifestyle that he chose and his fans, then you have more than a few neurons missing. Eva and Ryan chose a life in the limelight. They are PUBLIC FIGURES unlike the lady down the street, or the man buying the groceries, or the kid chewing gum and playing on the swing in the park.
Their fans turn them into marketable stars and that's why they get movie roles and why they have money to live lavish lifestyles. Nobody is suggesting that Eva has to bare her life to us [even though she's not ashamed to bare other more intimate things for the whole world to see], but to turn her pregnancy into a CIA-like top secret is a bit much. -

Y238ou're basically saying Eva id annoying for protecting her daughter. How dare she make her kid her number one priority instead of feeding the need of her "fans" who can't survive if they won't be able to see the baby!

No, I was referring to her overall neurotic need to lie about everything. When she was pregnant she lied and said that she wasn't, when asked whether she was going out with Ryan Gosling, she would reply, "I'm closing down," when the paparazzi saw her coming out of her car, she covered her stomach so that no one could see that she was pregnant. For heavens sake, you would think that pregnancy was some horrible disease or something. It's part of the human condition.
Nobody is asking that she do a reality show and have film crew in her house filming her every moment, but that she at least stop being so neurotic about non-personal things. A baby bump is not personal, and having a baby is not personal either. It's a normal thing. -

Here's my opinion:
Why do you care so much about a celeb you never met or will likely never meet? I could care less if there was never a photo published of any offspring of hers - she has every right to not have cameras in her face 24/7. Just because someone is in the limelight doesn't make it mandatory for them to have to put out photos of all their activities.
There are many reasons why someone doesn't publish photos of their children. It may be nice to see what her baby looks like but she may have valid reasons for not wanting to publish the photos. Just because you can't think of any reason doesn't mean there isn't one. -

You are correct in that it is not mandatory for her to publish photos of her children and it's her right not too if she doesn't want too, but as an actress who's career depends on her fans [and make no bones about it, an actor's career depends squarely on his fans], she is beholden to them and if they want to see a photo of her baby, it seems like a rather small concession.

I agree AceDandy!
It's creepy and weird that people NEED to see her baby. Like they're almost furious with her for protecting her child. Its a baby. There are millions out there to look at.
To say that Eva owes her fans a picture is stupid. Period. If you were really a fan you'd respect her approach to protecting her baby, who is innocent and unable to look out for herself. Apparently the public's wants are more important than her baby's needs. But most of the people here whining about not seeing the baby don't even seem to like Eva. Why, then, do they even care about her kid? I don't think its arrogant or "annoying" to hide her kid from hateful, judgemental, anonymous creeps for as long as she can. Look at this thread.
"She asked for it by becoming famous". The baby didn't ask for her picture to be all over the place for people to judge and scrutinize. That's all these people want to do, but since Eva doesn't exploit her they can't and it bothers them. Society has been deeply conditioned to care about every move made by famous people. It's to the point where if a person wants privacy then the public becomes outraged and offended at not receiving what they are "owed".
And its funny that people only blame her. She and Ryan parent that baby together. A photo of her will eventually surface and then everyone can get a good night's sleep. -

To LadyHorrorshow, there is nothing creepy or weird about wanting to see the baby of a celebrity. If that's creepy or weird, then the millions of Americans who buy People Magazine, US, watch TMZ, or read the gossip columns in their local newspaper are creepy and we5b4ird. Then the millions of Brits who brought their local newspapers to see published pictures of Prince William and Princess Kate's new baby girl are creepy and weird. It's simply called interest.

Yes the people who read those magazines and obsess over celebrities are creepy. Also, they are losers. If you can't come to terms with this, then I'm sorry. No, she doesn't owe you anything.
So glad I have a life and don't have to worry about the personal life of famous people. -

And people who make stupid, baseless generalizations are intellectually bankrupt. If you can't rap your head around the fact that someone like Eva Mendes makes her money off her fame and stardom and that she owes her fans her livelihood and her lifestyle, then Oh well
Regarding famous people's personal life, YES, I'm sure that you don't worry about the personal life of famous people, that's why you're on IMDb engaging in conversations about their lives.

I have two jobs. I got an email saying someone replied to my post. Despite the fact that I'm here, I could care less about any of this. I wish I were better with words, but it's not one of my talents. I just wanted to pee in your coffee.
