Eva Mendes dishes - literally - on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno as she peddles her latest line of plates and bowls. The 37-year-old actress will next be seen in the romantic drama Last Night alongside Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington. She's even gotten behind the camera – making her directorial debut and casting Christina Ricci in a short film titled California Romanza. But Mendes clearly isn't letting Hollywood sideline her. She already has a line of linens and last night introduced tableware to her resume. 'I have plates, absolutely,' Mendes told Jay.

'They are pretty. This is me, this is me sitting at a computer thinking 'That petal is too much – take that away.''Leno asked: 'Did you paint these yourself?' 'On a computer I did, yes absolutely,' Mendes replied. Joked Jay: 'So these aren’t little Peruvian kids getting 4-cents an hour?' 'No Jay!' she exclaimed. 'They're really affordable. They're all very reasonably priced. My mother is actually the person that makes sure things aren't too expensive.'
