Nude photos of Eva Mendes go missing

The photographer who took six nude photos of actress Eva Mendes says the pictures have gone missing.

Lyndon Chubbuck claims that pictures of the star were taken at some point between being transported from the printer to an art show last weekend, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

He was preparing the images to go on display at an art event in Los Angeles' Supperclub later this week.

Chubbuck is planning to file a police report over the missing photos, but insists it's merely for insurance purposes because he claims, "The cops aren't really going to put a mad hunt out for my Eva photos".

The pictures of Mendes will still be able to go on display as planned as Chubbuck arranged for reprints to be made, reports TMZ.
