In a recent press conference, the “Good Luck Chuck” actress revealed her eagerness to tie the knot. “I’m definitely going to be married. You’ll find out when it gets leaked to the press.” When asked if she plans to raise her child to be multilingual (Jessica comes from a Mexican background, and Cash is fluent in French), Alba answered, “Yes. And my fiancé speaks French. I’m trying to learn Spanish. It’s just that every time I get into classes, I end up having work. So this is the perfect time. While I’m off, I can learn.” And Jess confessed that she can’t wait to start being a mommy. “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.” Commenting on her “hit the ground running” mentality when it comes to work, Jessica said she’s happy to be taking a break. “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.” According to an insider, Alba is due in June.

Besides pushing her latest theatrical work, the pregnant Sin City actress has been doling out 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 tells in an essay for the book If I’d Known Then: Women Under 35 Write Letters to Their Younger Selves. Continuing on, Alba tells: “It’s fun to have a crush, but don’t think it’s forever...And use birth control and condoms please.” Source:- http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/ ===================================================== Pregnant pause for busy Jessica Alba EVEN if her increasingly obvious pregnancy had not intervened, Jessica Alba would probably be taking it easy now. At 26, she has been working for almost a decade and the past two or three years have seen her graduate from TV's Dark Angel to starring roles in a string of movies including Sin City, Into the Blue and Fantastic Four (all 2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Good Luck Chuck and Awake (all 2007). She has the horror movie The Eye about to hit Australian screens and, for a complete change of pace, will be seen opposite Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake in The Love Guru, scheduled for release this year. "Regardless of being pregnant, I've been working for two years straight and I'd chosen to take this time off anyway," Alba says. "I just want to get my head straight and stop working and breathe and be a person for a little while." Alba is expecting her first child with her "fiance on the way to husband" Cash Warren, 29, the son of actor Michael Warren, who played Officer Bobby Hill on the TV series Hill Street Blues. The couple have bought a bigger house in Los Angeles and are renovating. "I'm trying to do as many eco-friendly and green renovations as possible, from the furniture we're buying and the refurbishments we're doing to getting systems that conserve water," Alba says. "I've been investigating solar panels and things like that and I drive a hybrid, so I'm doing the best I can." After tackling graphic novels (Sin City), the superhero genre (Fantastic Four) and comedy (Good Luck Chuck), Alba says she was on the lookout for a horror film in which to star. "One of my first memories is when I was about five, watching A Nightmare on Elm Street," she says. "I sneaked behind my parents' couch and I watched the entire thing and I didn't sleep in my bed peacefully, I don't think, until I was 14 or 15. "I think the visceral response you get when you're watching horror movies is just so immediate. It really forces you to dive into that world and physically be there. "But there are lots of ways you can go about making films in this genre. "There's certainly the more gory and more exploitative way - you know, body mutilation and things like that are really popular in the horror genre - but I wanted to do something that was kind of elegant, but still terrifying and complicated. "A complex story in character. This one was just a great set-up." The Eye is a remake of the 2002 Taiwanese movie Jian Gui. It is directed by French team David Moreau and Xavier Palud, whose first film ILS, about a couple terrorised by unseen forces in the French countryside, screened at some major film festivals before a successful run in France last year. In The Eye, Alba plays Sydney Wells, a concert violinist who has been blind since a childhood accident. She undergoes a corneal transplant to restore her sight after more than two decades and slowly the world begins to come back into focus. Then she starts to see bizarre and frightening images. Are they the product of her imagination or something more sinister? The film co-stars Alessandro Nivola (Junebug) as the specialist helping Sydney to adjust to regaining her sight and Parker Posey (Superman Returns) as her sister, Helen. Alba took violin lessons while she was still shooting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in an effort to look convincing in concert scenes for The Eye. "I did play the notes and play the rhythm of the music, but it sounded really, really bad," she says, laughing. "I would have to pay you to see the movie if it were my playing, so I'm really thankful for the musicians who played over me to make it sound beautiful." For a taste of what it is like to live in a world of darkness, Alba spent several weeks at a facility for the blind, at times using contact lenses to impair her sight. "I had to try to look as comfortable as I could being blind," she says. "You certainly become more appreciative of what sight brings to your daily life, just in simple things like washing your hands or getting a glass of water. "Getting dressed becomes complicated and disorientating. "But there was a woman I hung out with who is a trained singer. She's at university, she speaks three languages, she travels by herself, and she's been blind since she was two. "She really showed me that it's possible to do whatever you want to do, to fulfil your dreams. She was pretty inspiring." After completing The Eye, Alba began work on The Love Guru, which was co-written by Myers. Alba plays Jane Bullard, whose family owns the ice hockey-obsessed city's biggest team. The Bullards have not been able to win the sport's holy grail, the Stanley Cup, since taking over the team and their top player is distracted by problems in his love life. Jane calls in a "love guru" known as Pitka (Myers). "And then I fall in love with him, of course," Alba says. "How can you not?" Source:- http://www.news.com.au/ |
