From the Sunday Mail, Adelaide, July 17th 2005
Dark Angel's feet hit the ground
Flushed with the success of her new hit film, Fantastic Four, sex symbol Jessica Alba is wasting no time making it clear sge us going to take charge of her career.
Alba, who burst into the limelight for her role in the series Dark Angel, she says she is embarressed by her early movie roles in Paranoid and Sleeping Dictionary.
"I was too young to put my foot down and tell the directors what I really wanted to do" she says
"Dark Angel really taught me to be steadfast in my opinions. At the end of the day, the director isn't up on the screen, the producers aren't up on the screen. The other actors are only responsible for their performance. You have to be responsible for yourself"

That's gonna be the best half hour of your life isn't it? Will it make up for the hours of your life you lost watching Paranoid?

NZ Woman's Day July 25th issue JESSICA TELLS 'I WAS NEVER GOING TO MARRY TOM' Jessica Alba has shot down rumours that she was 'auditioned' as a prospective wife for Tom Cruise. "It's ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous." she said at the New Yourk launch of her latest film Fantastic Four. "Didn't happen." According to scuttlebutt doing the rounds of Hollywood, Jessica 24, Scarlett Johansson 20 and Lindsay Lohan 19, were all 'auditioned' by Tom to pose as his girlfriend. The fourth woman on the supposed list was Katie Holmes. Jessica isn't alone in her distress. Pearl Harbor star Josh Hartnett was dating Katie in the weeks before she met Tom. After having been on a series of dates across New York, the 26 year old pair appeared the picture of togetherness. Suddenly she vanished from his life, only to re-emerge weeks later in Rome on Tom's arm. "I was lost for words," confessed Josh, who is now dating Scarlett Johansson. Same magazine with the caption: Despite having to defend herself against talk she was rejected by Tom Cruise Jessica Alba was all smiles at the Fantastic Four premiere in NYC

I know it's all gossip, but I got comment on this one. All the other stories I read about this ( once again, gossip I know ) made it sound the other way around. With JA passing on Cruise and religion. Same thing with Johansen. They both were weirded out by him and his cult. And even if it did happen I can see JA denying it , if she confirmed it, she would just be drawn into this bullnuts even more . Publicity wise. If this is too gossipy then the mods can delete the post, won't hurt my feelings . But I just had to comment on this one.

I don't think anything about the Cruise/Holmes situation is true. Including the list of women he autioned to be his girlfriend which has been said to include Jessica. I mean, come on. The guys rich, good looking and successful. Why would he need to hire a girlfriend?

The guys rich, good looking and successful. Why would he need to hire a girlfriend? Because he doesn't really want a girlfriend? And he's also chasing the youth market. But then again, I'm just a cynic

He makes action movies. He's got the teenage boys angel even without Katie. Boys like to see things blow up.
Film magic.com has photos of Jessica at the London Premiere of Fantastic Four just to keep this on topic

New Zealand's Creme Magazine August 2005 Issue
FIVE THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT JESSICA ALBA
1 SHE WAS BORN A MONTH LATE Jess was born on April 28 1981, but her arrival was a little bit later than expected. Jess says: “1 April fooled my mother. I was supposed to be born on April Fool’s Day and I ended up being 28 days late. She carried me for a month too long.” Jess reckons that being so late was a good thing though. “I came out with a full head of hair. I looked great. You know how newborns have wrinkles? I didn’t look like a pug. I looked like a baby.”
2 SHE USED TO BE UNPOPULAR WITH BOYS! It sounds hard to believe that someone as beautiful as Jessica would have any trouble finding a boyfriend, but she says that’s not the case. In fact, Jess says that she was so unpopular with guys when she was growing up that she used to date anyone who asked her out! “I remember this one guy – oh, he really liked me. He was so boring that I ordered a hamburger and ate it in a really masculine way, like a pig, dripping and chewing with my mouth open. I think I may have burped … anything to get him not to like me so the date would finally be over,” says Jessica. “But he just liked me more. It was horrible. I didn’t really (seriously) go out with any guys until I was 18 and met my ex-fiance.”
3 HER BIG BREAK WAS AN ACCIDENT. Jessica made her film debut in 1993 as Gail in the comedy Camp Nowhere. She was originally hired for two weeks to play a much smaller role, but the actress playing Gail suddenly dropped out. Jess admits that it wasn’t her acting abilities that got her the role though … she thinks it was because her hair was the same colour as the original girl’s! She’s since become a very talented actress, starring in fab movies like Honey and Fantastic Four. It seems that acting talent runs in her family too … her younger brother Joshua is also an actor. He appeared in a couple of episodes of Dark Angel and will soon be on our screens in Alpha Dog, also starring Justin Timberlake.
4 SHE’S NOT ENGAGED … OR IS SHE? Jess used to be engaged to her Dark Angel co-star Michael Weatherly, but they broke up in 2003. She’s now dating Cash Warren, a movie assistant who worked on Fantastic four. The couple met on set and have been dating since January. Recent reports were that they’d got engaged because Jess was spotted with a huge sparkling ring on her engagement finger! But Jessica’s spokesperson says it’s not true. “She is not engaged. She’s had the ring for a while, usually wars it on her right hand, but it was swollen (from flying), and she switched it.” There’s still a bit of suspicion surrounding the whole thing though as Jess will admit that the ring was a gift, but won’t say who it was from.
5 SHE’S GOT A HEART OF GOLD Jess says that helping out charities is very important to her. She recently showed just how important by offering to act in a movie for free to raise money for AIDS charity AMFAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research). Jess was at the Cannes Film Festival in France and attended a benefit event for the charity. Heaps of stars like Brittany Murphy, Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz all helped to raise more than $3.2 million, but Jess caused the biggest stir by offering to star unpaid in a movie if producer Bob Weinstein would agree to bid $100,000 for tennis lessons with some top sports stars. Of course, he agreed!

JA was mentioned on this weeks episode of Entourage. She is suppossed to have let the character on the show stay at her Malibu mansion while she is out of town filming. Different house than they used in her episode last season. The crazy part ;D is that in return for the house the entourage character agreed to watch JA's "cats" while she is out of town , everybody knows JA is a dog lover ;D. Maybe they got JA and Aerie mixed up?

Good Girls Gone Bad sounds like one of those crappy shows on the E! network. That said, I'm glad to hear it. Jessica should have done all those wild things when she was much younger. It seems she was focused on her career and Jim Cameron for the year she was 18, then she seemed to be focused emotionally on Michael Weatherly for the next three years. Lucky girl. Geez, she probably never had the experience of smoking pot out behind the P.E. building at the back of school. Not to mention all those other fun things kids did. Not that I did any of those things but dzero told me all about them. Heh, heh, heh.
