Eva Mendes is a modest Hollywood star who believes you're never too good or too famous for an acting class!

Ryan Gosling's girl attended a private lesson Saturday in Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, the actress has a French film in theaters, which debuted in Cannes, called Holy Motors.

Even if you do speak French, you probably won't understand what the movie's about -- it's a tad artsy ... but here's the film's official synopsis to help you out:

"From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who journeys from one life to the next. He is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man... He seems to be playing roles, plunging headlong into each part - but where are the cameras? Monsieur Oscar is alone, accompanied only by Celine, the slender blonde woman behind the wheel of the vast engine that transports him through and around Paris. He’s like a conscientious assassin moving from hit to hit. In pursuit of the beautiful gesture, the mysterious driving force, the women and the ghosts of past lives. But where is his true home, his family, his rest?"

Any clearer? Check out the trailer ... Oh, and it co-stars Kylie Minogue!

Sigh. Sometimes we still can't believe the gorgeous and talented Ryan Gosling is dating Eva Mendes, who is 7 years his senior.

Sure she may give good face, but what's the appeal of mom jeans and frumpy sweaters? I guess we could ask Ben Affleck, since this seems like an outfit straight from Jennifer Garner's closet!

Eva Mendes is calling her beau Ryan Gosling a "dream," and we couldn't agree with her more!

The sexy Latina, who is gracing the cover of March's Marie Claire, is talking about working alongside her sexy man on the movie The Place Beyond The Pines. She tells the mag:

“He’s your dream costar. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film.”

"It doesn’t matter what you have or what you look like. It’s something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that’s not all of me. I feel it’s important to let women know that I have similar struggles ... When I am complimented on things that I didn’t like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that’s when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you.”

As for her idols, Mendes says she has "a girl crush" on Julianne Moore and Annette Bening.

Letting your girlfriend visit you at work? That's how you know it's serious!

Yesterday Ryan Gosling got a special treat when Eva Mendes stopped by the set of his latest film project, and it looks like his ladylove brought a brown paper bag full of goodies. Yum!

The duo have been inseparable since they starting dating in September, but will their romance last? After getting a peek at a hot and sweaty Ryan leaving his Muay Thai workout yesterday, we're kinda hoping it doesn't!

Why so shy guys?

Just a few hours after we caught him spending the day with his mom, Ryan Gosling and ladylove Eva Mendes arrived at JFK airport together on Monday, to take separate flights out of NYC.

The pair are ending a romantic three-day vacation in the Big Apple, where they rang in the New Year together, and Mendes also met Ryan’s mom for the first time. It must be getting serious!

Gosling is flying home to LA to start prepping for awards season -- he's nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor, for his role in The Ides of March. Eva and Ryan still haven't gone public with their relationship, we think awards season would be the perfect time!

Unable to keep their hands off each other, new couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling displayed some adorable PDA on their way through the Charles De Gaulle international airport in Paris, France, en route to the US, on Sunday.

The Crazy, Stupid, Love actor was in "The City of Light" last week to visit Miss Mendes, who has been in France to film scenes for director Leos Carax's upcoming movie Holly Motors.

While in Paris, the lovebirds enjoyed an Argentinian dinner on Friday night, and a romantic stroll through the legendary Pere-Lachaise cemetery (the resting place of Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison) on Saturday afternoon.

Ever since Ryan and Eva met on the set of the upcoming film, The Place Beyond The Pines playing husband and wife, they've been completely inseparable!

Ryan Gosling, 31, flew to Paris to visit girlfriend Eva Mendes, 37, in the City of Lights after she wrapped the film Holly Motor Friday, and the two spent time in a rather non-traditional way ...

The couple of two months visited the catacombs -- the underground ossuary which holds the remains of more than 6 million people and has bones and skulls stacked on top of each other for public viewing. Eesh; they see dead people!

Next, Eva and Ryan took a romantic stroll through the Pere Lachaise cemetery. Our photographer tells us: "You would think there were walking through a rose garden -- they were kissing and whispering and laughing. Meanwhile, they were surrounded by tombstones!"

Hey, whatever floats your boat!

Eva Mendes is spending her Thanksgiving holiday on the set of her upcoming film Holly Motors in Paris, and we can't help but notice how much her on-set look resembles the late singer Amy Winehouse.

The flick, now filming at Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, is being directed by Leos Carax ... and also stars singer Kylie Minogue.

As for the plot line, French actor Dennis Lavant plays a man who travels between different lives, including that of a murderer and scary creature. Mendes plays a character from his past.

By the looks of Eva's get-up, we're certainly intrigued!
