She wears so much make up...urgh..

 

[frenchkisses]

well she may be wearing alot there but she usually doesnt wear much at all

 

[Golden_butterfly]

What I was trying to say was " less is more ", specially in her case.
She looks better with any make up than with too much.

 

[christilynn]

I think she looks good when her hair had blonde highlights but not the blonde eyebrows

FROM GQ..

I think Sin City is going to do wonders for her career

 

[Bonchic]

I agree I liked her alot better as a brunette she looks like just another pretty face blonde but she stood out a little more with darker hair

 

[Orchide]

okay- i think its clear by page 3, we all think she would look better with darker hair so it might be better reading for the thread if something new can be said or pictures posted, etc.
it is just 3 pages of the same comment is all .
to reiterate, she went blonde for 2 film roles and very likely will go back to brunette very soon.
thanks for posting those GQ ones- she is soooooo sexy - whoa!

I just saw her the other day shopping with her boyfriend.. u could tell that she didn't want to be noticed b/c she was wearing a black do-rag thingie on her head with a pink fedora hat on and long black trench. But even though, it was still clearly obvious it was her.. people were pointing and whispering "that's jessica alba!".

Jessica Alba comes from 'Nowhere' to land in 'City'

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]HOLLYWOOD - Jessica Alba, the leading lady of Sin City, came out of Nowhere to find fame.

Camp Nowhere, that is.

The star of Dark Angel on TV and the movie Honey can thank her lucky hair for an early career break. [/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Alba was only 12 when she landed her first movie role, a non-speaking part in 1994's family-adventure comedy Camp Nowhere.

That's where fate and the right hairstyle stepped in. A girl with a meatier role turned out to be the girlfriend of one of the stars and not a trained actress. In fact, the girl was so inexperienced she couldn't fake affection to stay in the movie after she broke up with the boy.

"They had already shot a bunch of stuff where they had to match the length of the hair," Alba recalled recently in a Beverly Hills hotel suite. "There were 20 girls that had the same length of hair. They chose me."

Air Force brat

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]She was born in California, but Alba, an Air Force brat, moved around in her youth. When she was 4, her dad was stationed at Laughlin Air Force base in Del Rio, Texas, where the family remained until Jessica was 9.

When her family returned to California, Alba discovered she had picked up some Lone Star baggage.

"I had a very thick accent," she said. "It was bizarre. I said ma-ma and y'all. I had to break it pretty fast."

[/font]
'Sin City' stripper

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]In Sin City, the down-and-dirty feature-film version of Frank Miller's popular graphic novels, Alba is Nancy, a stripper with a tortured past who's about as close to innocence as it gets in this grisly black-and-white world. The movie opened at No. 1 at the box office last weekend, taking in more than $29 million.

Robert Rodriguez shares directing duties with Miller and guest director Quentin Tarantino. Alba, 23, had been eager to work with Rodriguez ever since she failed to win a role in The Faculty, his 1998 high school horror flick.

"Every audition for me back then was terrifying," Alba said. "I was still trying to figure out what I was doing."

[/font]
Fait accompli

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Rodriguez remembered Alba.

"She was 15 or 16, still kind of dorky. She was so cute," he said. "There were very few Latin actresses. I was really watching her from then on, hoping that she would still be around for another movie."

Despite her growing fame, Alba was eager for another shot at a Rodriguez film. When she bumped into him "I said, 'I want to do something in one of your movies. Please, I'll do anything.' "

Well, almost anything. In Miller's hard-boiled, sexy graphic novels, Nancy, a central character, is nude a fair amount of time. Alba would not do nudity, but the actress did want to amply portray her character's sexiness, so she visited strip clubs in New York, LA and Austin to get a sense of the mood.

"I wanted Frank (Miller) to feel like nothing was compromised," she said.

In Sin City, she comes across as something like an old cowpoke's fantasy of a young, hard-bodied Dale Evans having a wild night. Decked in leather chaps with fringe and a bejeweled top, Alba sways to the music with a distant look in her eyes.

A wind machine tosses her hair as she idly swings a lasso above her head. Alba learned to rope on the set from the guys who drive and repair the trucks.

Rodriguez said he's happy to have Alba as a resident of Sin City, along with Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Clive Owen, Brittany Murphy and other recognizable names. Alba's delighted as well. She compared the movie to a piece of eclectic music.

"All the different notes just went together just right in a very bizarre way," she said. "It's like a Björk song, something really kooky and excellent."[/font]

Who's her boyfriend??

 

[Couture_Whore]

I don't remember his name, i had seen a picture of them together in an US Weekly mag. taken when they were in Miami...he's king of scrufy looking..The pic was also posted somewhere in another thread, I think the candid thread.

 

[Arksiel]

she was previously married to her Dark Angel co-star, I believe...if I recall correctly. I had a massive crush on him, and since the show was filmed here in Vancouver, I always hoped to run into him. I was crushed when I found out about them, and shocked... she was so young at the time! I'm not sure who her current boyfriend is, but her ex is gorgeous.

 

[Orchide]

she was only engaged to her "dark angel" co-star.
i saw him once back then eating alone in a restaurant...he is quite attractive
thanks for the article...interesting read!

 

[CharlottefromCA]

[Dubuc]

This gurl is so gorgeous! OmG!

IF you haven't seen here in Sin City, run for it!! So nice.!

( really well realised movie also.. one of the best of this year!)

 

[jd255]

I truly think she's a natural beauty--on MTV's Diary she looked great with no or little makeup. I do like her with darker hair better, much more striking, but I still think she's pretty regardless.

And, she's got a pretty amazing body.B)

 

[twilight fairy]

She's so....ordinary. Just another pretty face..

 

[Plastic'sWife]

I personally dont care for her, ever since I saw her on MTVs Punk'd. She was really snooty and stuck up...

 

[Golden_butterfly]

She only has her looks. U can't make a carrier or ever be taken serious for just being another pretty girl with a nice body in Hollywood

 

[lduv143]

i think her hair looks best here, she is so gorgeous!!
