Do you think she was talking about MW here? Sounds like she was totally in love with him. She always looked so happy with Michael. Poor thing, he must have broken her heart. Sounds like it, that was the only other serious relationship that we know of for her. And yeah sounds like her heart was broken but , it's a "first love" you are supposed to get your heart broken aren't you? Anyways to me it sounds like she kinda realises that now but wishes she had handled it better at the time.

No more panic, just inner peace Jessica Alba's interview in CosmoGIRL!'s February issue might be surpassed by the news of her infanticipation and impending nuptials to Cash Warren. Nonetheless, he might want to read it to get a full picture of what he's in for. • On having no friends in junior high: "I literally had no friends. But instead of looking to be accepted by the popular kids or the ones who ran the school, I looked for the other people who were sitting by themselves. We were the people who were picked on. ... "One thing that helped get me through the rough times was knowing that by the time you're an adult, when you can really make a statement about who you are, none of those high school people will be around and you're not going to care what they think at all. Luckily, I didn't go to high school. I was working by then and getting tutored." • On her past obsessive-compulsive disorder: "I used to unplug every single appliance in my house. Or I'd double-check every door in my house to make sure it was locked at night. It was like a panic come over me and I had to do something, and once I did it, I was OK. I didn't even really know that I had it until I got older and went to a doctor and he was like, 'That sounds a little OCD.' "But it was really me needing to control something. I think once you realize that you do have the power to control your life, it can be changed. You don't have to be a victim of it. You just have to A) acknowledge it, and B) start to change it. When there's something that's not at peace inside, it comes out in another way. You have to find the peace with those things that are unsettling to you." Info from www.freep.com.

www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article651101.ecePublished: 04 Jan 2008 JESSICA ALBA snubbed Kid Rock‘s advances when the pair filmed a TV show together. The rocker musician – who divorced PAMELA ANDERSON after four months of marriage in November 2006 – said he tried his luck with Fantastic Four actress Jessica but was rebuffed big-style. He said: “I spent a week in South America with Jessica for this TV show, an environmental show called Trippin’. “Jessica is such a sweetheart. But she’s definitely not giving it up. I said to her, ‘Do you know what, you are so f***ing hot, I’m not even going to f**k with you.’ And she turned round and went, ‘F**k you, Kid Rock.’ “ Jessica is currently expecting her first child with fiancé CASH WARREN.

DON'T MESS WITH JESS Despite an ever-growing baby bump, Jessica Alba might still be mistaken for a pin-up girl—But as Andrew Goldman can tell you, there's no mistaking her career savvy or her ladylike focus on what matters most. “I'm reading this dumb book, and it's getting in my head,” Jessica Alba says, as she digs through her giant studded Gerard Darel bag and pulls out a white hardcover buried among the bottles of acidophilus and chlorella supplements that have been rattling around in there for about a month, since she embarked on a new no caffeine or booze, endless glasses of water, truckloads of fruits and vegetables regimen. “I was so nauseous reading this while I was on the bike today,” she says. What emerges is Skinny B****, the pro-vegan diatribe masquerading as a chick-lit diet book that became an instant best-seller when Victoria Beckham was photographed carrying it. As Alba reads from the chapter concerning slaughterhouses, it's clear why seared loins haven't quite tasted so succulent since her trainer Ramona gave her the book. “Stunned or not,” she reads, “cows and hogs are then 'strung up' from the ceiling by a chain attached to their legs. In theory, while they dangle there, they are supposed to be unconscious. But often they are fully conscious, struggling, screaming, and fearfully staring at the workers while they have their throats stabbed open.” Alba peers up at me, mouth agape, then buries her nose in the book and describes the work of the wretched souls whose résumés include the words head skinner. It's worth noting that Alba and I are not taking a break from picketing a Hormel plant, but sitting in the back of Sur La Table, the gourmet kitchenware store, near the Farmers Market in Los Angeles. We've just completed a private class in Mediterranean cooking, and those tender lamb kebabs dipped in pomegranate sauce sitting in our bellies are now conjuring visions of a woolly creature rolling around a pasture in a wheelchair. Even that cornmeal olive-oil cake with calvados-sautéed apples had milk, which, the Skinny Bitch authors remind us, contains traces of rocket fuel and udder pus. But Alba resides in a pragmatic world. When it came down to it, however cruel and toxic the meal, she did exactly what was expected with a writer and cooking teacher eyeballing her: She ate the damn food, and even managed to pronounce it “delicious.” Alba has for some time been publicly chafing at her image as a staggeringly beautiful girl who lands atop any poll that measures men's arousal but has never attracted critical adulation for her acting. And the choked-down meal suggests what it might have felt like for her, a 12-year show business veteran, to stand on a stage last August next to pubescent High School Musical star Zac Efron and appear truly psyched to accept an unwieldy surfboard for being voted “Teen Choice Female Hottie of the Year.” A friend of mine related a story about watching Alba at ShoWest, the annual Las Vegas schmoozefest for movie theater owners, where she was promoting Fantastic Four. Alba, who posed for picture after picture with a long line of schlubby exhibitors, would beam as the flashbulb went off, and when the theater owner was lead away, her face would fall into a look of misery. As soon as the next guy was in place, she'd be ready with another electric smile. “Jessica is very strategic in the way she approaches her career,” says John Stockwell, who directed her in 2005's Into the Blue. “She's not a bubbleheaded Maxim bikini babe. Look, she understands you have to do certain things to get to certain places, and when she's had enough of it, she'll use that position of being on those hot lists to get to a different level.” So she didn't do all those self-deprecating bits as host of the 2006 MTV Movie Awards just for the fun of it? Nope. “I couldn't get seen for a comedy to save my life,” Alba says. She took the gig to show the industry that she could be funny. And largely because of that onstage goofing, Dane Cook, sitting in the audience, chose her to play his clumsy inamorata in last year's Good Luck Chuck, which, considering the critical excoriation the film received, might seem like a wash, or worse, for Alba—that is, until you consider the bigger picture. “I saw her interviewed and saw a silly freeness,” Mike Myers says. “Then when I saw the Good Luck Chuck trailers, that confirmed my initial thought that she'd be funny.” And now she is playing the owner of a cursed hockey team in Myers' big summer tent pole, The Love Guru, which Alba predicts will be a new Austin Powers-scale franchise. The day before our cooking class, at lunch in Beverly Hills, Alba's eyes almost roll out of her head when the subject of the Teen Choice award comes up. Of meeting Efron, she says, “He looks like a child with a lot of makeup. I was like, 'My God, you're just a little kid.'” Alba, however, will be 27 in April, a milestone she seems to be approaching with all the enthusiasm of a cat being ushered through the gates of a water park. “I'm anticipating it,” she says lugubriously. “I'm feeling old, yes…27 was when Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Jim Morrison all died.” It doesn't take long to notice just how far Alba is from the seductress you would suspect her to be after sampling the Internet's vast collection of her cheesecake shots. (How much gravitas can any woman muster in a bikini?) Add to that all those profiles in men's magazines depicting her as an expert flirt about one glass of cabernet away from jumping the writers' bones. Over lunch, the vibe she gives off is a lot more sober CEO than purring sex kitten. “I think there are ambitious girls who will do anything to be famous, and they think men in this business are used to women doing that,” Alba says. “Contrary to how people may feel, I've never used my sexuality. That's not part of it for me. When I'm in a meeting, I want to tell you why I'm an asset, how I'm a commodity, how I can put asses in the seats, not, 'There's a chance you're going to be able to f***me.' That's never been my deal.” To illustrate, she mentions a conversation she had with Frank Miller, the graphic novelist and codirector of 2005's Sin City, in which she played the stripper Nancy Callahan, who, thanks to a firm no-nudity clause in Alba's contract, never doffs her studded leather bra. “It wasn't even something I was at all aware of before Frank pointed that out. He said, 'You never use your sexuality at all. You never even throw that card in the mix. You're the only actress I've ever met who doesn't do that.'” But she certainly has a ready arsenal of sex appeal at her disposal, even if she chooses not to engage it. She's wearing a black slipdress on this 90-plus-degree October day, because, she says with characteristic bluntness, “It's hot as balls outside.” Photos can't begin to replicate what it's like to be in close proximity to her full upper lip, which got her teased as a kid but helped land her on the pages of Seventeen at age 12. To behold that lip's grandeur is to finally understand the ideal those aging actresses are pursuing when they collagen themselves to the point of resembling trout. Though she describes her body as “relatable” to regular women—comparing her own curves to those of Halle Berry, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez—Alba is definitively slight; her lithe, twiggy arms and long, slender fingers making her more serpentine than bodacious. Her body has served her perhaps too well. “Jessica will have to do something like what Charlize Theron did with Monster in order to get people to pay attention to what a good actor she is,” says Stockwell, who for Into the Blue shot Alba and costar Paul Walker in swimwear for three months. “Executives at MGM could barely focus on what was happening on the screen because they were so distracted by how good she looked in a bikini. I would literally get notes saying, 'Hey, why did you cut that one shot of Jessica swimming by?'” Walker seems to have been similarly taken when he told a reporter in 2006 that “I couldn't take my eyes off that ass. I'm sorry. She's beautiful,” and went on to describe Alba not as the consummate actress, but rather as “the kind of girl you want to have angry sex with for the rest of your life.” Nice.

Jessica Alba Hits Out At Paparazzi Jessica Alba has hit out at the paparazzi in a new magazine interview. The Fantastic Four actress – who is well known for her dislike of being papped – says she is too ‘boring’ to warrant the attention. After making an illegal right turn in her car and nearly being plowed into by a Mercedes, Jess reportedly told a journalist for Elle: "[The paparazzi are] F***ers! They do this [follow] to me every day. And every day there's no story. I'm not doing drugs. I'm not running over people. I'm not going to clubs. I'm not dating anyone famous. I'm not doing anything interesting! I don't get it. I'm the most boring chick ever." Jess also takes a pop at High School Musical star, Zac Efron, in the new issue of American Elle, calling the 20-year-old actor, “a child with a lot of makeup.” Meow!

Zac is the male lead in "High School Musical. Jessica Alba: “I’m ready to be a mum” Sex symbol Jessica Alba has spoken out about her pregnancy, insisting: “I’m ready to be a mum.” Alba stunned fans when she announced she was pregnant at 26, coming just after numerous rumors of problems in her relationship with boyfriend Cash Warren. But the Fantastic Four beauty insisted that she is happier than ever. “I’m madly in love,” she says of Warren. “I come from a huge family and I’m the oldest of 15 cousins, so I’ve known I’ve wanted kids. “I’m ready to be a mum, and it’s a really happy time for us and our families.” The pregnancy will delay her career and being a mum could change her public profile as a single sex symbol. But Alba insists a good business brain is behind her success - not her sex appeal. “I think there are ambitious girls who will do anything to be famous,” she says. “Contrary to how people may feel, I’ve never used my sexuality. That’s not part of it for me. When I’m in a meeting, I want to tell you why I’m an asset, how I’m a commodity, how I can put asses in the seats, not, ‘There’s a chance you’re going to be able to f**k me’. “That’s never been my deal.” Under the headline ‘Don’t Mess With Jess’, the star made numerous attacks on her co-stars and fellow actors. Of meeting ‘High School Musical’ hunk Zac Efron, Alba says: “He looks like a child with a lot of makeup on. I was like, ‘My God, you’re just a little kid’.” She also dismissed a journalists claims that Eva Mendes was worthy of consideration as a Hollywood leading lady, with Jessica saying the only dark skinned leading ladies out there are “Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, me”. “Mendes,” she said. “But is Mendes greenlighting movies?” She is most dismissive of Into The Blue co-star Paul Walker. “Paul was the lead, Paul helped develop it. You wouldn’t believe how much that kid got paid! And I don’t think he did one ounce of publicity,” she complained. She thought their film together was “dumbed down for no reason” - but that still fairs better than her recent comedy Good Luck Chuck. “It’s porn!” she complained. “It wasn’t supposed to be like that. There were all these actresses who got conned into being completely naked. Every day when I was done I ran away. As long as they didn’t disrespect me, I couldn’t give a rat’s butt.” Even her family does not escape criticism. When I go to Mexico, I want to go to see the pyramids, to earn about the history. “My parents want to go to Senor Frogs every day.” One person who it is not so surprising she attacks is Michael Weatherly, her former fiancé. He was my first love,” she admits. “The way I grew up was that you marry the first person you have sex with. That’s the way everyone in my family is.” But it wasn’t to be - and it put her off dating celebrities. “F***in’ actors, man,” she says. “No more actors. I like to work with them, but I don’t need to be in a relationship with one.” Alba laughed off reports that she is ashamed of being Latina. “Of course I’m proud f my heritage!” she insisted. “That’s all I know! I only know a Mexican-American upbringing.” But she admitted that her ethnicity has made it hard finding the right roles. “Nobody really knows what to do with me,” she said. “I’m half Latin, but I grew up in the States, and I cant get roles playing a Latina because I don’t speak Spanish. And I don’t want to be the best friend, or the promiscuous girl, or the maid, because those stereotypes still exist with Latin roles.” “I want to be a leading lady.” She dismissed other Latin stars who complain that their heritage stops them reaching their goals. “I thought that because I have brown skin shouldn’t make any difference,” she said. “Why should only Aryan-looking girls be that girl? Really, I say, your skin colour has hindered you that much?” In an interview where she dismissed many others, she also seemed to dismiss one other celebrity - herself. Alba insisted she could not understand why people are so interested in her life. “I’m not doing anything interesting,” she insisted. “I don’t get it.” “I’m the most boring chick ever.” Info from www.showbizspy.com

Jessica Alba Says Pregnancy Is 'Awesome' FRIDAY JANUARY 11, 2008 06:30 AM EST By Lisa Ingrassia and Kate Stroup With fiancé Cash Warren by her side, Jessica Alba can't help gushing about her impending baby joy. "It's awesome," she told PEOPLE Thursday in L.A. at Glamour magazine's kickoff for V-Day's 10th Anniversary. "It's the best time ever. I have two movies coming out, a baby, a fiancé – everything." The 26-year-old actress, who's due in early spring or late summer, said the pregnancy has been smooth so far. But, she admitted, "I'm more tired, more hungry than normal." Alba – who also recently announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Warren, 28, the baby's father – also said she's enjoying a rare break from acting. "I don't know if anyone wants me in their movies [when I'm] six months pregnant," she joked. "I'll get the fire and I'll want to work again, but right now it's a time to relax and sit back." For now, the actress is focused on a more personal project: "I bought a new house a couple weeks ago. I'm in nesting phase." Later, Alba joked about her growing baby bump as she performed "My Short Skirt," a scene from Eve Ensler's girl thingy Monologues. "I hope [my dress] won't pop while I'm up here," she said. "And if it does, you're all women, and I think you'll understand it. [When you're pregnant], your breasts are engorged and your stomach is getting bigger. . . . And the ass, too, that's getting bigger by the second!" Here's the link, www.people.com/people/article/0,,20170667,00.html
