"Eva Mendes has revealed that she visited call girls to prepare for a film role. The actress, who plays a prostitute in the new movie Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call, has said that speaking to the women made her understand the part better. The 35-year-old told TV Movie: &amp;quot;I met with call girls, the type who met clients in grand apartments. I learned quite a bit.&amp;quot; Mendes also insisted that she had been looking forward to working with director Werner Herzog.  She said: &amp;quot;I was bitterly disappointed. There were no tantrums, no shouting, no crazy demands. It was almost boring.&amp;quot; The star also compared the movie to the work of artist Pablo Picasso. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like a piece of art to me. It really is. When you go to the museum and you see a Picasso, and you can&amp;#039;t quite pinpoint what it is, but you know you&amp;#039;re attracted to it, and you accept it as art.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Mendes defends raunchy lingerie ad "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
