Eva Mendes has had sex "in all 50 states" of America. The actress enjoyed a colorful love life during a trip across the U.S. - but insists she didn't sleep with 50 different men.

She confessed: "I've had sex in all 50 states. A lot of it was on a road trip I took when I was younger."

'The Women' actress - who adopted her now three-and-a-half-year-old daughter Daisy True from China in 2003 - was considering the unlikely moniker for her new baby.

She said: "I had a friend who was in a little bit of a manic phase, a little bi-polar, and I was getting reams and reams of names from her. My favourite was Oprah Winfrey Ryan. I knew then that I was in trouble. She was convinced that celebrities should just name their babies after celebrities. But we had to rule it out."

Meg Ryan nearly called her daughter Oprah Winfrey Ryan.

Eva Mendes used to force people to kill spiders because she was so scared of them. "The Women" actress suffered from arachnophobia - a profound fear of spiders - as a child and was so terrified of the eight-legged nasties she would ask her family to execute them if one came near her.

She would then insist on being shown the "dead carcass" of the arachnid to prove her wishes has been carried out.
