[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."
[04/15/2008] Jessica Alba has given friends leather bracelets and told them not to take off until after she gives birth.
The 'Fantastic Four' actress - who is expecting her first child with fiance Cash Warren in May - had a baby shower in Los Angeles' Ever After Tea Shop, where guests including Kim Kardashian and Rashida Jones were asked to take part in the bizarre ritual.
An onlooker said: "Jessica made sure everyone was wearing a leather bracelet before they all launched into a 'life, love, health' prayer. She then told them they aren't allowed to take the bracelets until the baby is born."
Guests at the shower, which was held earlier this month, were treated to skewers of tiger shrimp and chicken, mini doughnuts and strawberries dipped in white and dark chocolate, washed down with drinks such as white wine, lemonade, iced coffee and milkshakes.
While most of the gifts Jessica received were in yellow or green, the 26-year-old actress reportedly told guests she is expecting a baby girl.
Jessica and Cash are rumoured to be naming their daughter Honor Warren.
[04/07/2008] Jessica Alba looked happy and glowing as she arrived for her baby shower, which was held in LA yesterday.
In a flowing black halter neck dress, the mum-to-be did maternity chic to perfection, showing off her growing baby bump.
The intimate party took place at the Ever After Tea House, with guests that included Alba's sister, Jaime King and Kim Kardashian.
Guests enjoyed a menu of tiger shrimp and soft-pulled chicken, white and dark chocolate-dipped strawberries, mini custard tarts and mini eclairs.
The Sin City actress received stacks of baby gifts from her friends and family, which included a cradle, a basket of Dr. Seuss books, clothing and flowers.
Making sure she wasn't the only one to walk away with the gifts, Alba gave every one of the guests a goody bag, provided by organic baby food company Tastybaby, which included recipe books and children's toys.
It is rumoured that Alba is expecting a girl, due in June, although the actress and her partner Cash Warren are yet to confirm.
[04/03/2008] Star has learned exclusively the name and gender of the baby Jessica Alba is having with her fiancé Cash Warren!
The couple is having a girl named Honor Warren.
Jessica's friends are snapping up gifts for the Fantastic Four star's baby shower, which will be thrown by her manager Chris Henze's wife at a private home in Los Angeles on April 6.
One of the guests had a gold and bead charm bracelet made specifically for Jessica's baby shower at an L.A. jewelry store on March 25. The charms spelled out HONOR.
"This woman was so exited that Jessica is having a girl," says the source.
"She said she loved the name too, Honor, and said Jessica picked it because she felt it was an honor to have Cash's baby. She said she couldn't wait to give it to Jessica this weekend. She asked twice if the bracelet would be ready by then."
This is the first baby for Cash and Jessica who became engaged in December.
[03/31/2008] Jessica Alba from attending the 2008 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday night (March 29).
The Sin City starlet has proven time and time again that she’s a children’s favorite, taking home one of the top awards during the ceremony held at Pauley Pavilion.
Accepting the Favorite Female Movie Star award for her work in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Alba gushed: “I love Nickelodeon! I wore green today in honor of the slime.”
After rattling off a list of people whom she’s grateful to, Alba ended her speech by telling the crowd to a wild response: “I love making movies for you all.”
[03/27/2008] Jessica Alba has filmed a spoof music video to help her finance Cash Warren promote his new social networking internet site.
The Fantastic Four star - who is seven months pregnant - is seen lip-synching to Panic At The Disco's Back to the Streets in the video which has been posted on new site Ibeatyou.com, co-owned by Warren and his friend basketball player Baron Davis.
And the 26-year-old Latina has even posted a message on her Myspace Internet page, urging fans to sign up to the new site.
The statement reads, "Hey guys! Hope everyone had a great Easter. It's hot here in socal (South California). Being preggers in this heat takes everything to another level."
"We shot a quirky group lip dub music video for ibeatyou. Check it out!! We invited a bunch of users from the site and put this together last Saturday. Be well guys and check out our music video?hope you get a good laugh."
[03/19/2008] Jessica Alba says she can’t wait to meet her little one and that she hopes to raise the child to be bilingual. Jessica is fluent in Spanish while Cash speaks French.
“I’m excited. I’m going to love my child to the most that I possibly can. I have a different perspective on things now. Things that used to be so important, like my work, aren’t as much anymore. Now, it’s family.”
Even though her career is moving at break-neck speed, Jessica says it’ll be nice to take a break to enjoy her first crack at motherhood.
“I feel very blessed to be in this business and be successful. I’ve been working consistently since I started. Now, I can take time off until I get that fire, that script and that role that will force me to work every day and give a hundred percent effort. In the meantime, I’m going to stop working. I’ll breathe for a change.”
[03/12/2008] Jessica Alba is well on her way to becoming a new mom, but the 26-year-old actress has some advice for young girls when it comes to guys. "Boys are awful... They are made of nothing but hormones until they're 20 or 21," she says in an essay for the book If I'd Known Then: Women Under 35 Write Letters to Their Younger Selves, "It's fun to have a crush, but don't think it's forever... And use birth control and condoms please."
Though, it seems that some people are saying she's hypocritical for saying this considering she is pregnant and unmarried. But it isn't the first time Jessica's been called a hypocrite. Last year, she came under fire for saying she felt unconnected to her Latina roots. "Throughout my whole life, I've never felt connected to one particular race or heritage."
But the actress has since started singing a different tune and hopes her baby has some Latino traits. "I'm excited for my baby to be brown... I just shave to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash and I are like, please!"
[03/03/2008] Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am has released a monochromatic, multi-lingual, star-studded music video titled We Are The Ones – aimed at boosting the presidential homes of Democratic candidate Barack Obama.
Backed by the pulsating vocal refrain of “O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!,” stars such as Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, George Lopez and others face the camera and offer reasons why they support Obama as the candidate’s voice is also heard, as is that of Macy Gray and others, who croon his name.
“I would like to see a cleaner Earth for my child that I’m bringing into the world very soon,” says Alba in the three-minute video, which debuted Friday. Chimes in Philippe: “I think it’s time for a change. I want a better a future for my children.”
Previously, will.i.am produced the viral sensation Yes We Can, which generated more than 5 million YouTube hits alone, reports the Associated Press.
That one spotlighted Obama’s voice from a New Hampshire speech and provided celebrity support from Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Herbie Hancock and others.
[02/15/2008] Jessica Alba will speak nothing but Spanish when her baby is born later this year (08) because she regretted not picking up the language of her grandparents when she was a child.
The sexy Latino star reveals her father only spoke English to her and her brother because he wanted them to become model Americans - and it took her years to master basic Spanish.
She tells Latina magazine, "I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn't grow up with it." Now, Alba is committed to mastering Spanish so she can speak the language to her baby.
She adds, "Hopefully I can pick it up because I want my kids to speak Spanish. I don't even want them to speak English for maybe the first two to three years, until pre-school.
"We're in the United States so they're going to learn it anyway." Alba admits her inability to speak Spanish when she first became a star didn't go down well with fellow Latinos.
She explains, "I got shunned (and) it made me feel really bad, like maybe I'm not (a Latino)."
[02/15/2008] Jessica Alba is brown and she’s proud! The actress, who caught flack last year for saying that she considers herself American and not Latina, is doing some backpedaling on the March cover of Latina magazine.
The pregnant actress says that she hopes her baby inherits her ethnic looks. "I'm excited for my baby to be brown,” she tells the mag. “I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash [Warren] and I are like, please!"
But the new face of Revlon put her foot in her mouth once again when she bragged about her low-maintenance lifestyle. “I'm not a make-up and hair kind of girl,” she said. “I don't really have a brush."
[01/15/2008] Jessica Alba is loving the changes pregnancy is bringing about in her body, especially to the size of her twin assets.
The ‘Fantastic Four’ star admits that she doesn’t mind the changing shape of her breasts and her tummy.
And even though she is a bit concerned about her butt, she’s having the ‘best time ever’.
“When you’re pregnant, your breasts are engorged and your stomach is getting bigger. And the ass, too, that is getting bigger by the second!” The Sun quoted her, as saying.
“But it’s awesome. It’s the best time ever. I have two movies coming out, a baby, a fiance – everything,” she added.
The 26-year old is currently taking a break from acting, but hopes to get back in front of the camera soon.
"I don't know if anyone wants me in their movies when I'm six months pregnant. Soon, I'll get the fire and I'll want to work again, but right now it's a time to relax and sit back," she said.
The baby will be the first one for her, and her fiance Cash Warren.
[01/08/2008] 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] Fuckers! 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.”
[12/28/2007] Jessica Alba, who is pregnant with her first child, is engaged to long-time boyfriend Cash Warren, Alba's publicist said on Thursday.
Alba, 26, best known for her roles in the TV drama "Dark Angel" and "The Fantastic Four" movies, was pictured over the Christmas holiday with a huge diamond ring on her finger.
Publicist Brad Cafarelli said the couple were engaged but gave no details.
Alba met Warren in 2004 on the set of "The Fantastic Four," where he was a director's assistant. Warren has since moved into producing.
Alba confirmed earlier this month that she was pregnant with Cash's child. The baby is expected in the early summer of 2008.
[12/19/2007] Jessica Alba was finally spotted with a discernible baby bump that had so far eluded paparazzi cameras trained on belly since the surprising announcement last week that she was expecting a child with boyfriend Cash Warren in early spring/summer.
Jessica Alba was stylishly attired Tuesday, December 18, and looked relaxed and carefree at lunch with some friends in Beverly Hills.
She wore a full sleeve mini knit dress with collar under a black double breasted trench coat with puff sleeves.
Her burgundy colored newboy cap, black sheer stockings and silver gray calf-high boots went well with the uniform style trench coat.
The grinning mum-to-be tried to hide her face from the camera but made no attempt to hide her baby bulge through the fitted dress.
