#9 Jessica Alba

Last year: 3rd

What a difference four years makes. “I don’t do nudity. I just don’t. I have too much anxiety,” said the leggy Californian back in 2006. So how did Brit director Michael Winterbottom persuade our 2007 winner to bare all during several S&M scenes in controversial film noir The Killer Inside Me? We’ll wager it wasn’t with the promise of her character then being beaten to within an inch of her life. Let’s hope it hasn’t put the 29-year-old off any repeat performances any time soon.

This month Total Film has been hanging out with Jessica Alba, and along with a great cover shot, she gave us all the inside info on The Killer Inside Me, Machete and Sin City 2.

The Killer Inside Me
“Violence, death and killing not pretty, and I think maybe people have this idea that this homicidal maniac should do it cleanly and victims should jut scream and it’s over. But this isn’t a horror movie.”

Sin City 2
” Nancy’s the sweetest by far of all the women, she wasn’t jaded at all – so it would be nice to see effects of her adult life on her. It might be fun to see when she gets her groove and understands the ways of the world.”

Brittany Murphy’s death
“I wouldn’t equate what happened to her with Hollywood and being a woman. I knew her more personally than at work. It just seemed like such a shame that others people in the world couldn’t experience her light and brightness and her sweetness”.

The paparazzi
“It is what it is. But if I don’t leave the house, I don’t get to go anywhere and there’s no point in doing that. I’m a person! I think if you complain about it you seem like an asshole. More of an asshole than if you just go with it. It’s not like you ever get used to it – it’s like having sex with the camera in front of you – it’s just as awkward!”

Daughter Honor
“My daughter is so independent. No one’s going to stomp on her, no one’s going to tell her anything, she’s going to do exactly what she wants to do. She’s not a weak girl!”

I’ve updated the gallery with high quality scans from Siempre Mujer’s February/March issue. It’s all in spanish so for those of you who don’t speak the language (like myself), below are some highlights in English that were posted a couple of weeks ago.

About learning Spanish: “I know the basics, but I just hired a professor that specializes in Hispanic studies to teach me and Honor. God knows that I wish I was raised bilingual. But it wasn’t to be.”

About when the media questioned her about her Hispanic heritage when she was 18: “I tried to explain to them that in this country I’m considered Latina and, thus, I consider myself Latina as well. I grew up eating enchiladas. Even more, in my house the only American-style dish we ate was spaghetti with ground beef. I identify with Mexicans. It’s in my blood whether or not I speak Spanish.”

About why she didn’t defend herself better to the journalists: “I didn’t want to misrepresent Latinos and I didn’t know how to defend myself. But I went to my room and I cried all night. Since then, I’ve preferred not to comment on the subject.”

About why she’s speaking out now: “I want to make movies in Spanish…There are so many interesting themes and stories that are worth sharing, like the lives of immigrants, for example. There’s a whole world that hasn’t been sufficiently explored and I want to be part of it…The violence on the Mexican borders, the political upheaval in Venezuela and Bolivia and the drug trafficking in Colombia.”

About the strong women in her family: “In my house, all of the women surrounding me were strong and decisive. My grandmother and mother and incredibly confident. I’m a little more timid. But I think I’m strong, too. It’s a good balance, I think. I like confident people.”

About why she fell for her husband Cash Warren: “It’s because he doesn’t take life so seriously. Just like me. I couldn’t be with someone who couldn’t laugh at themselves. We have a good life.”

About what she would change about herself: “Well, maybe some stretch marks! But about my personality, I wish I could turn my brain off every once in a while. I’m too analytical.”

About what she wants Honor to learn from her: “To respect her elders. And to ask for their blessing regardless of their age.”

About her conservative upbringing: “I grew up in a very Catholic and conservative environment, in which you felt guilt ridden, as if you did something wrong you would end up in hell. Thankfully, I don’t believe that anymore. But if my grandmother sees me in panties in a movie, she gets really mad. Up until I was 18 years old, I was certain I was going to burn in hell.”

Jessica Alba graces the cover of this moths Russian Cosmopolitan, a preview of the cover can be viewed below and hopefully we’ll get scans soon.

Jessica Alba graces the cover of the March edition of Scarlet “the magazine that turns on women”. Inside the mag Jessica talks about her childhood, being famous, and describes her ideal man. Read some of the highlights below and click on the previews to view them.
The best thing about being famous:
“Making lots of money has made me happy. No one else helped me – I’ve done this all by my self, on my own terms. My dad’s also turned his real-estate business round and doing really well, and my brother acts, models and does mortgages, so we’ve all come up in the world. Anyone out there who gets bullied should realise that they can take control of their lives and succeed”.

Describing her ideal man:
“I go for a shy, nerdy type of guy, and I always prefer older men. I’m pretty wary of really good-looking guys and actually, as an actress, you work with so many men, you become completely immune. Deep down it’s probably because they were always the ones who ignored me when I was younger. I feel much more at home with normal, regular guys. Older men are much more comfortable within their skin and are out to prove less”.

On doing a nude scence:
“No, i’ll never do a nude scene. I can act sexy and wear sexy clothes but I can’t go naked. I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed, and I remember my grandmother would freak out and throw a towel over me if she saw me wearing just a bra and panties. I come from a very Catholic family so it wasn’t seen as a good thing to flaunt yourself like that. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off”.

Last night, we had the pleasure of meeting the stunning, amazing and all round drop-dead-gorgeous Jessica Alba. She’s in town for the premiere of Valentine’s Day tonight, but thought she’d take some time out to chat to us in her role as one of the faces of Revlon. Ain’t that sweet!

After stepping off her delayed flight, Jessica looked fresh and fabulous and, even if she was tired and jet-lagged, she couldn’t have been nicer. After getting over the fluster of meeting our girl crush, we probed into Jessica’s beauty secrets, obvs. She told us…

- she loves Revlon’s lipstick in Revlon Red, ‘it’s just a classic shade that I love’

- currently she’s obsessing about Revlon’s new Colorburst lipstick in Plum (out here in June)

- she swears by Yonka skincare and only likes to wear a tinted moisturiser

She also let us in on a little style secret – she’s almost certainly wearing a Prada dress that she helped design for tonight’s premiere. ‘I better wear Prada tonight seeing as I’ve told you that now!’ She’ll also be painting her nails with Revlon’s Valentine nail polish. How fitting! Although she’s wearing Prada to the premiere, she’s also lusting after the ‘silhouettes of Antonio Beradi and Proenza Schouler’. Well, who wouldn’t?

Look out for more from Jessica Alba in the magazine soon.
