MTV News got hold of the  image above of Jessica Alba  in ‘Little Fockers’, in which she plays an attractive pharmaceutical rep who offers a business deal to Greg (Ben Stiller).

Let’s face it, Jessica Alba is known for her sexy factor. No matter what role she’s in, be it a superhero (“Fantastic Four”), a pharmaceutical sales rep (in the upcoming “Little Fockers”) or an immigration officer (this week’s “Machete”), Alba’s addition to any cast turns up its heat.
Such is even the case with Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World.” When MTV News caught up with the actress and her director at the L.A. premiere of “Machete” earlier this week, we asked them how her casting came to be.

“I was so inspired, seeing her on [the 'Machete'] set trying to be beautiful for the camera and yet having to [run off] to change her baby’s diaper,” Rodriguez explained. “I thought, ‘You know what, that would be great as a spy mom, I’ve got to write that in.’ ”

And since Rodriguez is the writer/director/creator of the “Spy Kids” franchise, he did just that. “I wrote that into the script, based on her,” he said of what will be his third film with Alba.

The 28-year-old actress/mom said she’s most looking forward to working with Rodriguez again — and to eating more of the director’s specialty: homemade margherita pizza with jalapeños.

Moving forward, Rodriguez has yet to cast his new titular spy kids, the husband to Alba’s spy wife/mom or the villain Time Keeper. Original “Spy Kids” Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara, as well as their onscreen dad, Antonio Banderas, are expected to play supporting roles. Production is set to begin next month.

Over the last few years, Jessica Alba hasn’t shied away from racy roles in R-rated films – we’ve seen her get down and dirty as Dane Cook’s love interest in “Good Luck Chuck,” flash some flesh as stripper Nancy Callahan in “Sin City,” and more recently, play a high-class hooker in the dark thriller “The Killer Inside Me.”

But since giving birth to daughter Honor Marie just over two years ago, it seems Alba is starting to reconsider her racy roles.

“I think there is a nice balance (between “family friendly” and more adult films) but it would be fun to do more films that my daughter can see,” the 29-year-old said.

And although Alba’s status as a sex symbol, which earns her high placement on “Most Desirable” or “Hot Lists” in almost every men’s magazine, often generates more media attention than her acting – she also wants the opportunity to portray more than just a pretty face.

“I like finding a character who finds herself, finds strengths and actually uses her damn stilettos (for a purpose) instead of just killing her feet,” she continued.

And when she’s not on camera, Alba does just that – dedicating time to an array of charities including Habitat for Humanity, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Project HOME, RADD, Revlon Run/Walk for Women, SOS Children Villages, Soles4Souls, and Step up.

But what’s one change she would like all Americans to make?

“Just to have a consciousness that everything that you do does affect someone else or the planet, and that comes with love,” she said.

Speaking of making a difference, the starlet is also urging Americans to continue doing all they can to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina – as even five years after the disaster struck, Alba doesn’t believe we’ve done anywhere near enough in terms of restoration.

“I think once we rebuild everything that’s been torn down, then we’ve done enough. So until that happens, we haven’t.”

Jessica Alba is in negotiations to star in Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World.”

The Dimension movie is a reboot of sorts for the moneymaking franchise, which initially starred Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara as the kids of superspy parents (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino). Rodriguez wrote and directed each installment.

Vega and Sabara are no longer kids — Vega is nearly 23 and recently engaged — but Rodriguez wanted to continue the series.

The new movie centers on Alba as a retired spy who has been reactivated. The actress, mother of a toddler in real life, will be playing the mother of a baby and two preteen stepchildren.

The actors cast in the preteen roles will be the new Spy Kids.

Other roles seeking to be filled include Alba’s husband, a slightly nerdy investigative reporter (might I suggest Borys Kit?), and the villain, known as the Time Keeper, whose goal it is to stop time.

It is expected that Banderas, Vega and Sabara will return in supporting roles.

Like most of Rodriguez’s movies, “Kids” will shoot in Austin. The movie, with a budget of less than $30 million, is eyeing a start next month.

The picture, which also has been known as “Spy Kids 4: Armageddon,” will be in 3D.

The new “Kids” marks the third time Alba has worked with Rodriguez. The WME-repped actress starred in 2005’s “Sin City” and appears in “Machete,” Rodriguez’s low-budget grindhouse flick that opens Sept. 3.

I would think that the success of THE EXPENDABLES this past weekend can only mean good things for MACHETE. They’re both very much action films with an old-school attitude, MACHETE almost even moreso. I know some lucky LA journalists got to see the film last night and I’m insanely jealous because I’m really curious to see what Robert Rodriguez cooked up here (probably even more excited than I was for EXPENDABLES).

Today we’ve got an exclusive clip from the film that features a showdown of sorts between Machete himself and Jessica Alba’s border agent Sartana. I don’t know where Machete is going after walking out the door but I’d imagine it’s not to catch the 3:30 showing of EAT, PRAY, LOVE. (More likely, he’s gonna slice some people up like a julienne salad.) Check out the exclusive MACHETE clip “Two Cops” below and remember to check it out, in theaters on September 3!

Lindsay Lohan’s latest movie, Machete, is opening the Venice International Film Festival.

The action film directed by Robert Rodriguez – which stars Danny Trejo with Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Don Johnson and Robert De Niro, as well as featuring Li-Lo – will have its world premiere at the festival.

A new Extended trailer for Machete entitled ‘Red Band‘ has been released online with a intro from Robert Rodriguez, who appeared at Comic-Con yesterday (July 22) alongside Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez.  I am absolutely BUZZING from watching the clip.

I’ve updated the gallery with screencaptures from ‘Valentine’s Day’ which was released on Blue-Ray & DVD in the UK this week. Click on the previews below to view them. Enjoy.
