[07/15/2008] New mom Jessica Alba is set to become {lastnews(15,1)}.5m richer -- after agreeing to sell pictures of her baby daughter.
The 'Sin City' actress -- who gave birth to her first child, Honor Marie, with husband Cash Warren last month -- will reportedly collect the sum from American magazine OK!.
According to TMZ, the two-part deal consists of pictures of the baby now, and one other "event", thought likely to be Christmas, Thanksgiving, vacation, etc.
A source told the site that Alba initially turned down the offers of several weekly mags, not wanting to sell, but eventually agreed to a transaction with OK!.
The baby is said to be "adorable" and the pictures, taken this week, are "so cute."
Jessica, 27, married Cash in a secret ceremony on May 19, shortly before she gave birth to Honor.
They met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004.

[07/08/2008] Jessica Alba is to play Barbarella in a remake of the classic sci-fi movie.
The Sin City and Fantastic Four star will take on the erotic role made famous by Jane Fonda in 1968.
Jessica Alba, 27, landed the part after director Robert Rodriguez split from his actress girlfriend, Rose McGowan.
He had been planning to remake the film with Rose in the leading role, but studio bosses refused to finance the £50million scheme because Rose wasn't a big enough name.
An insider said: "Now Rose is out of the picture, Jessica is perfect - she's gorgeous and can be a badass on screen."

[06/26/2008] When it comes to her Latin roots, Jessica Alba has clearly had a change of heart.
Though she appeared to have distanced herself from her Mexican ancestry, the new mom is now desperate to keep her heritage alive through her daughter, Honor Marie, born June 7.
"Jessica wants to try to brush up on her language skills so that she can start speaking Spanish at home in front of Honor,” a friend of the 27-year-old tells OK!.
Having not spoken the language in years, the actress' Spanish is little bit rusty, but she knows she needs to buckle down and re-learn it for her little girl.
“She knows that her own Spanish skills are not what they should be, and while she’s always under a lot of criticism, she is trying to make amends for that and do what’s right for her baby,” the source says.

[06/23/2008] Jessica Alba's newest role is that of a mother, but she'll also be something more for her new daughter, a former costar says.
"She'll be really attentive and really strong and she'll be a great role model," actress Rosario Dawson told PEOPLE at the Cinevegas Honorees Reception in Las Vegas on Friday. "She's very smart and I like that about her."
Dawson, who starred in Sin City with Alba and was being honored at the movie festival with the "Half Life" award, said she has already congratulated the new mother, and called Honor Marie Warren "a beautiful little girl."
"I don't know what people think about her on the outside or what their impression is, but Jessica is very strong and a very powerful woman," says Dawson.
As for who will rule with an iron fist, Dawson says, "She'll probably be the disciplinarian more than Cash. I can definitely see that."

"I can never tell with newborns. There are not really any features. I can't tell yet."

[06/11/2008]  Jessica Alba welcomed her baby girl on Saturday and she is also the cover girl for the June/July issue of Fit Pregnancy. Here is the second round of highlights from the interview.
On introducing the baby to all her different cultures: ”My grandmother has traditions I will definitely be exposing my kid to. We will be able to expose our kid to so many different things.”
On what kind of mother she will be: ”I don’t want to be my child’s friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it’s going to be about treading that line.”
On being a young mother: ”I think I’m the perfect age—young enough to be a young mom but old enough to be prepared and totally ready for it. My parents were 19 when they had me, and that is different from being 27. And I’ve lived many different lives, so I’m excited and happy to be a mom right now.”

[05/21/2008] Jessica Alba Is Officially Off The Market!
The Fantastic Four star, Jessica Alba quietly tied the knot with her longtime beau, Cash Warren, on Monday, reps have confirmed to OK!.
The couple is expecting their first child, a daughter, together next month.
This is the first marriage for both. Jessica was previously engaged to her Dark Angel co-star Michael Weatherly from 2001-03.
The 27-year-old actress met Cash, 31, a producer, on the set of the first Fantastic Four flick in 2004. After a temporary split last summer, the two reconciled and announced their pregnancy in December and their engagement shortly thereafter.
"Being pregnant is kind of like a sedative,” Jessica has said. “Everything's just chill. I don't get as anxious about things. Like right now, a movie coming out, you know, over analyzing everything. And now I'm just kind of like [shrugs]. I got something else going on."

[05/16/2008]  The 27-year-old mama-to-be, Jessica Alba attempts to set the record straight on her career priorities in the new issue of Allure: Commerce over art every time, unless there's a bikini involved.
When asked why she hasn't appeared in more independent, art-house fare, the expectant star gives a refreshingly candid answer, if not one that'll likely keep Sundance at bay for quite some time.
"To me, box office is the most important thing," she says. "If the movie makes money, then I'm fine."
You gotta give the girl some credit for honesty.
"I grew up not having a lot. I'm really happy to be making money, not depending on a man, and not having to suffer to survive in this business. Struggling is not fun. Been there, done that."
Despite her share of skimpily clad roles, Alba grouses about being objectified.
"They always play up your sexuality, because that's what gets men into the theaters," she says. "And I never really gave a s--t about all that stuff!"
Though not, it should be said, due to any prudish reservations about the topic.
"I don't think sex is a big deal. I hated the hypocrisy of ... (read more)

[05/16/2008]  Jessica Alba takes on the guise of screen comedy's first iconic figure, Charlie Chaplin – all for the June issue of Allure.
In the course of the accompanying interview, the pregnant Alba, 27, opens up about her sexy public image and how she finally learned to feel comfortable with her body.
Some highlights from the interview:
On Her Steamy Public Image: "[Hollywood] always play[s] up your sexuality, because that's what gets men into the theaters. And I never really gave a s--- about all that stuff! It's nothing to be ashamed of. But it is definitely not what I am about by any means!"
On Owning Her Sexuality: "I don't think I was comfortable with my sexuality until I was an adult, probably, like, 22 – that's when I stopped apologizing and stopped feeling ashamed. I did the Vagina Monologues in L.A. That made me proud."
On Sex Before Marriage: "I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a woman has to fall in love with a guy just because they're having sex. I don't think sex is a big deal. I hated the hypocrisy of it. Men can do whatever, and it's ... (read more)

[04/22/2008] Jessica Alba is planning to take a break from acting after having her baby.
The 'Fantastic Four' actress - who is expecting her first child with fiance Cash Warren in June - will be in no rush to get back to work following the birth.
She said: "I'm just going to sit back and figure out what this whole experience of being a mother is all about, and taking that in."
Jessica also revealed when she eventually returns to the movie industry, she would like to work with movie producer Cash.
She added: "I wouldn't mind doing something with Cash. He's incredibly smart and very business-savvy. I think him being part of anything means it's going to be progressive and successful."
Meanwhile, Jessica has revealed her latest movie 'The Eye' was the "toughest" project she has ever done.
She said: "For several reasons, this is up there with the toughest movies I've done. We shot a lot in a very short space of time and I'm in pretty much every single scene from beginning to end."
