Jessica Alba wigs out: Mum-to-be blasts Hollywood stars

[~Gia~]

Ugh, what a douche.

Birthday Girl, Miss Ania and Heroine
Right on. She's not an actress, but just another overhyped celebrity piece of ***. I still think she's pretty, but she had nothing to do with that, and she ruins her looks with her trash-bag personality.
She's earned NOTHING.

 

[J.M.L]

Maybe she should retire seeing as she's opened a movie. I mean if you look at her repertoire it's clearly evident that she's played all the good roles already.

Pregnant actress Jessica Alba is set to make some new enemies in Hollywood after criticising her contemporaries and even her own parents in a scathing new interview. The Fantastic Four beauty, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Cash Warren, told Elle magazine she has never used her stunning looks to land movie roles, despite her status as a sex symbol. Alba's controversial comments came as she wigged out during a photo shoot in Los Angeles.

The mum-to-be held her small pregnancy bump in as she posed in a series of outfits and wigs for the shoot as she embarks on a publicity drive for her new movie The Eye.

The 26-year-old shows her disdain for teen Hollywood star Zac Efron and Latina actress Eva Mendes in the interview, and even criticises her Into the Blue co-star Paul Walker.

Despite being only six years older than 20-year-old High School Musical heart-throb Efron, Alba was unimpressed by the tween idol at the Teen Choice Awards last August, where they were named 'Hotties of the Year'. She said: "He looks like a child with a lot of make-up. I was like, 'My God, you're just a little kid'."

Alba names herself alongside Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez as the only non-white actresses who can open a movie. When the journalist was quick to add Eva Mendes alongside the group, Alba fired back: "But is Mendes greenlighting movies?" .

Referring to her Into The Blue co-star Paul Walker - a diving movie in which Alba spent most of her on-screen time in a bikini - she complained: "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."
Luck Chuck, which was critically panned upon its release late last year. She said:
Alba admitted she was unhappy with the outcome of her latest movie Good "It's p*rn... It wasn't supposed to be like that."

Despite being cast in a string of sexy roles, including stripper Nancy Callaghan in Sin City, Alba wants to be remembered for her acting and business skills, instead of her body. She said: "I think there are ambitious girls who will do anything to be famous. "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 a**** in the seats, not, 'There's a chance you're going to be able to *beep* me'. That's never been my deal."

Alba describes herself as half-Latina, referring to her father Mark's Mexican grandparents.
Despite recent reports Alba was ashamed of her Latin heritage, she insists she's fiercely proud of her roots and wants to learn more about Mexican history.

She said: "I'm proud of my heritage. That's all I know! I only know a Mexican-American upbringing. Nobody really knows what to do with me. "I'm half Latin, but I grew up in the States, and I can't 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." Referring to a family holiday to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Alba admitted she clashed with her parents over how to spend their time, with her mother and father opting to relax in popular bar chain Senor Frogs. She said: "When I go to Mexico, I want to go to see the pyramids, to learn about the history... My parents want to go to Senor Frogs every day."

Alba also spoke of her excitement of becoming a mother; "I'm madly in love. 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."

yeah, action movies with sooo complicated plot and tough roles make you relevant on the whole acting-superior subject ..

 

[heroine]

The thing is, I don't get how someone can be so f*cking delusional or stupid to say something like that. I mean, I don't see anything wrong with someone like Alba, she is good at what she does (which isn't the epitome of emancipation or great art, but still), there must be a million young, hot "actresses" to replace her and she's still famous and quite successful and has been for a while. She could say that she wants to change her image and works on it and that she hopes her a** will get less important or something like that.... and just admit that it's her body, not her great body of work - at least act like you're modest!! or can't she just ask her publicist to speak for her???

 

[SarAnt]

Wow this is really funny, I haven't seen her in anything apart from Sin City, a few of my male friends have seen a lot of her films, but thats definitely nothing to do with her acting skills or get business sense, lol.

This quote from Mark Twain comes to mind:

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

 

[heroine]

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

AMEN!

"Idle hands" was on TV last night, man, was I impressed by her!

 

[FogUponLA]

I cannot fu**ing stand Alba.

In regards to her embracing her latina heritage...I call bulls*it.

"I've got cousins galore. Mexicans just spread all their seeds. And the women just pop them out."

"My grandfather was the only Mexican at his college, the only Hispanic person at work and the only one at the all-white country club. He tried to forget his Mexican roots, because he never wanted his kids to be made to feel different in America. He and my grandmother didn't speak Spanish to their children. Now, as a third-generation American, I feel as if I have finally cut loose."

"My grandfather was the only one in our family to go to college. He made a choice not to speak Spanish in the house. He didn't want his kids to be different."

"[Before] I always felt like such an outcast and now I feel like people are more diverse ethnically. I was always self conscience of my puffy lips and darker skin when I was a kid, because I felt like I didn't fit in. And now its mainstream, and color isn't as big of a deal and if anything its better."

"My whole life, when I was growing up, not one race has ever accepted me, … So I never felt connected or attached to any race specifically. I had a very American upbringing, I feel American, and I don't speak Spanish. So, to say that I'm a Latin actress, OK, but it's not fitting; it would be insincere."

"Alba is my last name and I'm proud of that. But that's it. My grandparents were born in California, the same as my parents, and though I may be proud of my last name, I'm American. Throughout my whole life, I've never felt connected to one particular race or heritage, nor did I feel accepted by any. If you break it down, I'm less Latina than Cameron Diaz, whose father is Cuban. But people don't call her Latina because she's blonde."


I hope there aren't any little goes out there who idolize her...for any reason.

 

[iggy190cm]

Thank you! Sounds like she's backtracking. She has some serious self-hate issues...otherwise she wouldn't feel the need to down others just to big herself up. She sucks all around. Boo.

 

[cecil]

I think she's finally entertaining

^ HAHA you're right.
She thinks by complaining about it, she will get better roles.

 

[city girl]

I wonder what she tells directors/producers in those meetings "Yeah, I'm going to put some a** into those seats with my raw acting talent. haven't you seen Sin City? I nailed that minor role as the sexy dancer with the whip! And have you seen me in "honey"? I think I really brought out my character's emotional journey from being a sexy dancer to being a sexy dancer!"

 

[sojou]

She's an attention seeker...and a charlatan

 

[Beena533]

and a charlatan

Ha! I love your choice of words.

 

[Kimkhuu]

She's such a

Definitely an entertaining blond bombshell interview!

This article is so bull****. I'm no super-fan of Jessica's but she didn't bad mouth Eva in that article in Elle. It didn't come across like she was angry at all. It's more like she was speaking out at Hollywood and the racism and sexism that exists in getting parts. It's like even though actresses like her and Eva Mendes are in successful movies, they still have a hard time green lighting films because of the color of their skin and their gender.
It's funny because I actually respect her more after reading the ELLE interview.

 

[bluebutter]

Oh dear...Jessica Alba just sounds so snooty in this article. I've never liked her, but I've never disliked her either. She just seems bitchy to me.

 

[iggy190cm]

Shes cute(note pretty) but thats ALL.

 

[chel4mdavali]

she's cute but i think she's been too glorified by men for her body and such that people think that she is drop dead gorgeous when she's just not. sorry to put it bluntly but even though she is pretty she just isn't what people percieve her to be.

and the recent articles and interviews she's been giving just lowers my opinion of her. and i mean come on her movies aren't exactly THAT great. i mean she wasn't the star of Fantastic Four. she just basically needs to get over herself and get her head out of her a**.

 

[Suburban Snob]

I can't believe she openly said that about Eva Mendes and Paul Walker...Who does she think she is?

Every movie she's "opened" has pretty much bombed.
