Eva Mendes is the latest celebrity taking time off to seek treatment for personal issues.  The Cuban-American actress rose to fame in Training Day and 2 Fast 2 Furious.

In the wake of reports that the Hitch star has entered into a rehab treatment facility, a rep for Mendes confirms to E! News that the actress is taking time off to deal with “personal issues.”

“Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support,” publicist Brad Cafarelli said.

It has been a busy week for mental health professionals in Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, Britney Spears entered UCLA’s Psych Ward for treatment of her well documented mental issues.

Last night we reported that ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ actor Justin Chambers had spent time in the same facility earlier in the week.

This morning came news that Kirsten Dunst is on the verge of a ‘breakdown’.
