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.

Jessica Alba arrived at a photo shoot in Los Angeles, California on August 26, 2010. Jessica posed for the cameras in a short dress during a rooftop scene where she flossed the cameras her backside. Jessica left the photo shoot with a few swag bags in hand and a smile. Click on the previews above to view more photos.

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.”

Last night on the red carpet in Los Angeles Jessica Alba looked stylish and stunning – today, not so much.
The actress was decidedly dressed down with scraggly looking hair and a pair of completely unflattering trousers that hung around her bottom like a giant nappy.

Let’s hope the 29-year-old had a change of clothes with her as she was on her way to tape an interview with Piers Morgan.

It was recently announced that Morgan has signed a joint deal with CNN and NBC and the former newspaper editor turned TV host is viewed as the front runner to replace Larry King on his prime time show when the news veteran retires in the Autumn.

Usually, Alba doesn’t put a foot wrong in the style stakes and last night was no exception.  Click on the previews above to view more photos.
