Jessica Alba is Over Her Hotness

Jessica Alba has a problem. She’s so hot that camera men let the camera linger over areas where they shouldn’t, movie producers find excuses to put her in a bikini, and just the site of her in a swimsuit can inspire expressions of pure wonder in 8-year-old boys who still think that girls have cooties.
The 26-year-old Good Luck Chuck actress talks about all of this and more in the June issue of GQ, accompanied by a photo shoot, which, despite being vaguely Antonella Barba-esque is still very fun and tongue in cheek (this photo is basically Jessica Alba doing an impression of a man looking at Jessica Alba, by the way). See highlights below...
On her future in Hollywood:
“Right now, I’m just exploring what my contribution to this business is—other than wearing a bikini and getting caught by the paparazzi.”
On cameramen shooting her private parts:
“When you see the camera right here [looking down at her black yoga bell-bottoms and moving her arms into a flagman’s V], you’re like, ‘Uh, that’s my crotch.… I’m going to stand over here.’ You know? Cameramen are just horny sometimes.”
On President Bush sending young soldiers to Iraq:
“Kids that are -- dying in Iraq…[it’s like a] f--k-you to people with families.”
On taking her non-Spanish-speaking father to an awards show:
“So there we were, Marc Anthony was there, and George Lopez starts speaking to my father in Spanish, and my dad says, ‘I don’t speak Mexican.’ I turned purple. Like, ‘Dad, how can you even make that comment?’ I love my papa. But he has no filter. I probably acquired that characteristic from him.”
On Into the Blue execs forcing her character to scuba dive in a bikini instead of a wet suit, as Alba originally agreed:
“…the people in charge decided to dumb it down. And all of a sudden, the wet suits went away…If I’d bitched about the change, I would’ve been called a diva. I can’t say it was the first time that ever happened. And I can’t say it’ll be the last.”
On Hollywood:
“The movie business gives a lot of people power—not always the right people. But you can tell who to trust. You can tell when people have the right thing in mind and when they’re just pricks for prick’s sake. And in all honesty, for the sake of art or a great movie, you still have to hold on to your dignity and who you are. If you lose that to be in a great movie? That’s your journey, not mine. Life’s too f--king short.”
On car shopping:
“A while back, I was looking for a sports car, and I went to all the dealerships and asked for the most souped-up cars in my price range. I took them out to Mulholland and spun them all out.”
On living in a gated community:
“I suppose it could be ideal, if you make a buttload of money.”
On being clumsy:
“I fell so many times on The Eye, the crew there would get embarrassed for me, When I first met Alessandro [Nivola, her costar on the movie], I fell down the stairs. And then on Fantastic Four, I would always twist my ankle and fall down completely. It’s just frustrating, always hurting yourself. For Dark Angel, Jim Cameron actually made me do gymnastics and dance training so I could be more coordinated.”

Other than the spelling errors, good article.
I believe Jessica, like all actors, should not respond to political questions. She just alienated 1/2 of America with that answer.
Also, I agree about the disparity vis a vis her sexiness. People who don't want to be portrayed in a sexual light, seems to me could manage to avoid it if they really wished to.
But she has such a cute smile!

SHe's inscure. Who COMPLAINS about being called hot and then poses for magazines like that. Over her hotness? Clearly she's not over anything....man is that all the interview was about? Being hot. All she is, is like that cute girly high school popular girl...but those legs are a little too jiggly. how conceded can you get? Acknowledging that you are hot, then complaining that about it when that's how you became successful, and then posing in a bikini. You don't see Keira Knightly or Natalie Portman trying to show off anything and they are more beautiful than Alba. Or a better example would be Scarlett Johansson...she's got an amazing natural figure and beautiful face...and she has shown some skin in movies and has done sexy photo shoots, but she has also done serious movies....she's not the greatest actress in the world but at least she knows when to play it cool and when to play it hot. Alba is just an insecure girl next door that wants every guy's attention but then complains when it's only for her so called "hotness". Please Jessica, grow up, or get a new job. She's definetly not my dream girl. yuck

She is pretty, and its real cute how she tries to sound semi-intelligent in this interview.It's really too bad that she contradicts every claim she has maid, and it seems she swears an awful lot. That seems quite childish, and this is comming from a 15 year old here.
but lets face it, if she lost that hot body, or if something happened to her "gorgeous" face- no one would pay attention to her anymore.
If the content of this interview, is everything she REALLY said, then unfortunately she just lost another fan.

ok u idiots...give her a break. i bet half the things she does she doesnt want to. she said on the set of into the blue that it was switched without her knowing, and she couldnt complain because she didnt want to be called a diva. and then u fat lards give her all this crap for being whiny adn a diva for not saying somehting...so basically she was stuck. what do you expcet her to do? walk away from the movie. shes a normal person, who has insecruites too. ur slamming her for having a big ego, and being insecure??? tell me honestly, do you really think that makes sense? id like to see how short ur looks come up when next to her. shes goregoues adn a good person, theres nothing wrong with wanting to maintain ur dignity. its all you people that slammed her that dont have any.

Anyone who insults Jessica Alba is just an "Ugly Betty"-loving loser. Anyone who insults Jessica Alba probably thinks Eva Longoria is hot. Anyone who insults Jessica Alba does it because they know that not even plastic surgery and a million years of excersize would give them even 1% of her beauty.

i think she is beautiful but, the funny thing is all of a sudden i keep hearing and seeing these articles where she doesnt want to be sexy and at the same time im seeing more then ever all these provocative sexy pictures of her. ive never seen her look this way and whats with all the makeup? thats the pretty thing about her is that she is so natural.
========= She's a hypocrite that's why. All the stupid crap she says comes back to bite her in the Arse. Always!
She's still trying to figure out what her contribution to "this industry" is? Well, miss Eggplant Head, Your contribution wouldn't be showing your A*s whenever you get the chance, and blurting out pompous, idiot, and hypocritical things in interviews, would it? Of Course not!

And the idiotic comments from this Bratz toy keeping on coming out of that ugly as* mouth of hers. Did she actually say "you have to hold on to your dignity and Be you" What? How's that working for you, when you are constantly showing it everywhere? And what damn language does your dad speak then, idiot? Not Mexican? Although that is what you are. And she says that her and her dad are alike in that way. I believe it. Dumb. She's always whining about this or that. Her looks, the roles that she gets... Well if you'd stop showing your bleep all the timem, then maybe you'd get the "serious roles" as you put it.

i think that anyone who has a problem w/ jess needs to relax. jess is an amazing actress and is a great role-model to alot of teens. jess is able to pose in really revealing outfits, because she knows that thats not all she has to offer. there are new people into the buisness every day which means more competition whats wrong with her trying to keep herself in the game even if she has to complain sometimes, dont we all? dont judge what you know about yourself to what you dont know about someone else,

I have heard she is very insecure..which is why she has no girl friends - very jealous of other girls. Won't let them about her boyfriend. She is definitely beautiful - ecspecially without makeup. I think she looks better w/out it. DOnt like the photoshoot.

Jessica Alba is a pretty girl, like most Hollywood stars, but somehow her physical beauty is overshadowed by her ego. A little humility would do her some good. Pretty on the outside-yes. On the inside-not so much.

Jessica Alba has an amazing body. But, I have to agree, she whines to much about how people focus on her body too much. Then, stop posing in skimpy next to nothing bikinis!

Ava Says:
She's gorgeous without all the makeup and such...I just wish all of these women would stop complaining about people thinking they're too sexy and then walking around half dressed or posing in provocative outfits on magazine covers. It's annoying and it does seem like they're just fishing for compliments. If you want to be taken serious as an actor, stop choosing movie roles that have you walking around like Betty Boop 24/7 - there are meatier roles out there, these girls just don't want to look for them.

Seriously, these "stars" can pull rank at photo shoots. Ask for the shorts, not the bikini Jessica. I think she's trying to look for compliments here.....

Yeah, she whines about how people do nothing but focus on her body and her looks instead of her talent. But seriously, if you keep on doing these bikini or semi-nude photo shoots, how do you expect people not to focus on that only. Angelina Jolie is beautiful too but do you see her on every men's magazine posing provacatively in states of undress??? HELL NO!!! It's on the rare side. So if you wanna be taken seriously, tone it down!!! If you don't wanna cover up then don't complain!!!

I hope I can look like her after my pregnancy...I used to like her for not being one of those dumb Brit-Paris-Linds girls, but she seems a little full of herself ar times. She's the one who keeps showing off her bod on various mag covers, so don't whine about it Jessica!
