Jessica Alba Finds Her Inner Child

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:05:00 GMT

Jessica Alba was seen bicycling around Paris on Wednesday. The actress is there to attend Fashion Week - not sure if she was there with husband Cash Warren and baby Honor Marie. Although maybe Jessica was supposed to be carrying the baby in that basket and she hasn't realized she put her purse there instead. Somebody check and see if Honor is at the lost and found at the Louvre.

I have to say, this is one of the rare photos I've seen of Jessica actually smiling. She must be feeling happy and carefree in the City of Lights. Well, that and the fact that she's rich, famous, has a great family and is probably being paid to attend some fashion shows. Yeah, I'd be smiling too.

Jessica Alba Pisses Off Lots of People

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:35:00 GMT

Looks like there'll be a whole bunch of people tearing their Jessica Alba posters off their walls this week. First the actress pissed off Fox's Bill O'Reilly by calling him "kind of an a-hole" while on the red carpet at the pre-inaugural "Declare Yourself" party in Washington D.C. Then, at the same event she tried to bust the balls of a reporter (while apparently confusing Switzerland with Sweden.)

Now it turns out the environmentalists are up-in-arms after finding out that Alba flew to the festivities in a private jet - with just two people on board. Apparently partygoers overheard the actress bragging about how she and hubby Cash Warren "had a G5 [private jet] all to themselves." Maybe Jessica thought she was attending the "Declare Yourself Rich" event.

Well, at least there's one person guaranteed not to be hatin' on Alba - her baby daughter Honor. I hope Jessica at least brought her home a souvenir that says, "My Mom Went to the Inauguration and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt."

Jessica Alba Gets Muzzled For a Cause (Video)

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 21:05:00 GMT

Here's Jessica Alba making like Hannibal Lechter in her second ad for the Declare Yourself campaign. The campaign is urging young people to get off their skateboards, put down their BudLights, pull themselves away from their Playstations and VOTE.

There's also a video where Alba, along with Hayden Panettiere, hawks The Muzzler mask in a Home Shopping Network spoof. “Our final item up for grabs today is The Muzzler 2008! if you have no plans to vote in the November presidential election, then this is the product for you. It will leave you literally speechless! If silence is your thing, shop no further.."

Nice to see celebrities getting involved in the election beyond just issuing a sound bite. Looks like Alba is getting daughter Honor Marie involved early - her and husband Cash Warren took their four-month-old daughter to the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado last month.

Jessica Alba Baby Pics Sell For $1.5 Million

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:07:00 GMT

What a bargain! Jessica Alba has sold the rights for the first photos of daughter Honor Marie to OK! Magazine for $1.5 million. Alba and Cash Warren welcomed Honor in June.

Considering Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reportedly agreed to sell photos of their new twins for over $11 million to an unnamed publication, OK!sounds like they got a sweet deal on the Alba pics.

OK! also agreed to buy pictures of Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves firstborn Levi, who was born earlier this week, for a reported $3 million.

And to think I gave my kids' pictures away for free. I could have gotten at least fifteen bucks off my mom for those snaps.

FIRST LOOK: Jessica Alba In Genlux Dishes On Those Hot 100 Lists

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:05:00 GMT

I recently interviewed Jessica Alba for the current issue of Genlux Magazine. In between bites of brussel sprouts and while ignoring my pleas to autograph my box set of Dark Angel, she dished on everything from Christina Applegate to being on all those lists:

Early fashion influences?

“I loved Christina Applegate in ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead!’ She was seventeen and working in fashion. I really loved her in that movie.”

On her upcoming (comedic!) role opposite Mike Myers in "The Love Guru" and how she brought her own interest in Eastern philosophy to the table:

“I dabbled in Eastern spirituality – it totally makes sense to me. Eastern religion makes you directly responsible for your actions. It feels like more of a direct path.”

On being at the top of Maxim’s Hot 100 list and FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World:

“I never put myself in those magazines, they put me in them. I never really cared about it, to be honest.”

But Alba's much more enthusiastic about her Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actress:

“I love kids! I’ve always loved kids, and [I’ve chosen] to be in movies like “Fantastic Four” where [I’m] playing a superhero, and I get to become that for them. It’s great to be this iconic figure that’s not Barbie, or Bratz, but strong and opinionated and sensitive and maternal.”

FIRST LOOK: Jessica Alba In Genlux Magazine

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:05:00 GMT

I recently interviewed Jessica Alba for the new issue of Genlux Magazine. I met her for lunch, asked her a few questions and used a tape recorder just like a real professional. She didn't even seem to mind when I stole her napkin to sell on eBay.

My favorite part of the interview? Alba was pregnant at the time and I asked her about pregnancy cravings - she said she wasn't having any but then proceeded to order a plate of fruit...with a side of brussel sprouts.

I told her how odd that was, took a bite of my fish and mango quesadilla and then asked her about the possibility that she would allow her child to go into show business. Fantastic Four Fifteen, perhaps?

“No! Hell, no! Absolutely not. The life that I had, it was for a reason. There was nothing else for me to do. There was something that I saw at a very young age, and there was a reason why I made such a bold decision early on.

"My kid’s going to grow up really differently, with a lot more opportunities, especially educational opportunities and a different kind of financial stability that I just didn’t have."

Alba and husband Cash Warren welcomed a healthy daughter. Honor Marie, on June 7.

More to come from the interview. In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful shots of Alba, baby.

Celebrity Baby Names - Thumbs Up Or Down?

HerBadMother — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:20:00 GMT

So apparently there's this guy, Bruce Lansky, who calls himself the 'Baby Name Guru' and devotes his time to passing judgment on the names that people pick for their children. Which I suppose is useful in some abstract, hyperfunctioning kind of way, but really - who the hell cares what some guy named Bruce thinks about baby names?

Well, if you do care, here's what he thinks about the names that certain celebrities have given their children recently:

On Jessica Alba's daughter, Honor Marie -

I'm trying to imagine what I'd say if Jessica and Cash told me the newest member of their family was a beautiful baby girl named Honor. I hope I would make a safe response like "Oh, that's a nice name" rather than blurt out "Really?" Needless to say, you can tell a lot about a name by how friends and family respond to the birth announcement.

Like all the virtue names for girls (such as Faith, Hope, and Charity), Honor is a quality we need in the White House. But is it a good name? Neither Honor nor the more popular Honora have ever been ranked in the Top 1000 girls' names. And for good reason. The only Honor I can recall is Honor Blackman, a British actress who played Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger." Like all Bond girls, she wore a skimpy bathing suit, had a stupid name, and lost her "honor" to Bond fairly quickly.

Virtue names for girls represent parents' fond wishes that their daughters exemplify that particular virtue. As noble as this sentiment may be, most people would probably agree that some virtues don't work well as names. Faith, Hope, and Charity are common names, but would you name your child Truth, Justice, Honesty, or Humility? (If you're considering any of these names, I hope you'll come back to your senses-immediately.)

Like Honesty and Humility, Honor is a stiff and awkward name. Can you imagine calling an adorable little baby girl Honor? I'm guessing Jessica, Cash, and Honor's playmates will be calling Honor by her middle name, Marie, before too long.

My verdict: Thumbs down!

On Tori Spelling's daughter Stella Doreen -

Actress Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott have named their brand-new baby daughter Stella Doreen McDermott. You may recall Stella was the name in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire that was called out by Stanley Kowalski, a character most memorably portrayed in the 1951 film by Marlon Brando, whose performance turned him into one of America's finest (and most famous) actors.

Knowing that Stanley and Stella lived in a low-rent district of New Orleans and that Stanley often lounged around the house in a T-shirt, theater and movie buffs may question why Stella is a popular name for girls roughly sixty years after the play and film premiered. Good question.

With Latin and French origins, Stella means "star." It's a variation of Estelle, a name that was last ranked among the top 1,000 girls' names in the '60s. Stella was ranked #244 in 2007-up from #656 in the year 2000. That's a big move up for a name that most people hadn't heard before Brando yelled it in what movie reviewers called "a primal scream."

Though it may surprise some people, Stella makes a very positive first impression: "People say Stella is more than just a pretty face; she has a pretty personality, too." (I quote from my latest book, 5-Star Baby Name Advisor). It's conceivable that designer Stella McCartney may have played a role in sprucing up this name's image.

In addition to making a positive first impression, the name is easy to spell and hard to mispronounce. And here's another prediction: Tori and Dean can count on the fact that most people will call their daughter Stella --- there aren't any common nicknames or variations of the name. Add up all these positive factors and you'll understand why Stella is a 4-star name.

My verdict: Thumbs up!

Okay, seriously? Is this guy on crack? Honor is a beautiful, beautiful name for a little girl. Stiff and awkward? Really? I just disagree, totally. It's lovely, and she's a lucky little girl to have parents thoughtful enough to bestow such a lovely name upon her.

And Stella? It's a pretty enough name, but I don't know that pointing out that Brando went all primal scream with it helps its appeal. And since when does 'easy to spell' make a name more compelling? By that measure we should all just name our kids Jack and Jill and be done with it.

Whatever. If a celebrity calls their kid Pilot Inspektor or Fifi Trixibelle, I can understand parsing the merits of such unusual names. But dissecting and judging (thumbs up or down? really? isn't that just a bit too last millenium?) names like Honor and Stella? That's reaching.

But I guess careers as Hollywood gurus are hard to come by these days. You make do with what you can.
