Jessica’s Belated Reception

It’s been two weeks since I last talked about what Jessica Alba’s been up to.  Christmas was so busy that I didn’t get a chance.  Jessica, it seems, is having a busy holiday season too, both professionally and personally.

On the professional side, the latest buzz is that Jessica is set to appear in an episode of the hit series The Office.  In fact, not only is she appearing in an episode, but she’s kicking off the post-Super Bowl lineup.  Her episode is playing In February right after the football festivities.

The episode is supposedly going to be called “Stress Relief”.  The story is, apparently, going to involve the workers trying to watch a bootlegged movie at work.  I haven’t heard exactly how Jessica will tie in yet, though.

Not being an Office watcher myself, I don’t know what to expect.  I do plan to watch the Super Bowl, though.  So, I’ll probably catch Jessica’s performance right after, unless there’s a post-Bowl party to go to.

Jessica’s personal life in the last two weeks has also been pretty interesting.  She was spotted several days ago shopping at a flea market.  Where she was shopping was less interesting than what she was wearing, though.  She was sporting some pretty cool jeans, but they were very much like a pair worn by Katie Holmes before.

What do I think of Jessica’s fashion sense?  Well, I think it’s not that important.  When you’re a super actress and a super mom, what you wear in your spare time shouldn’t really matter.  That said, though, Jessica looked pretty trendy in those jeans.

What was Jessica doing when she wasn’t shopping at flea markets in the last couple weeks?  Well, she was holding a wedding reception!  That’s right, she and husband Cash Warren finally had a wedding reception.  They’ve been married for seven months now, so I guess it was about time!

So, on Friday the 19th, Cash and Jessica invited guests to come and enjoy a special reception.  According to Us Weekly, everyone was asked to get to their house before 7 P.M.  Of course, Honor Marie was there.  In fact, she was wearing a dress just like her mom’s with angel wings.

Cash and Jessica made speeches at the reception.  Their fathers made a toast to them.  Everyone seemed to have a good time.  One of the people there was actress Roselyn Sanchez.  The general consensus seems to be that the celebration was very upbeat.  Everyone enjoyed celebrating Jessica and Cash’s union, even if it was a bit late for a reception.

What will next week bring for Jessica?  I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

Jessica Juggles Family and Hollywood Obligations

It’s always amazing how much energy Jessica Alba has. She always seems to be everywhere and do everything at once and she never even seems tired. This week was definitely no exception.

Today (December 11), for example, Jess and her husband Cash had lunch in Brentwood together. They went to the Gaucho Grill and, judging by their hand holding and the expressions on their faces, they’re still feeling like newlyweds. Of course, it was hard to see much of Jess’ face, considering she was wearing the over-sized sunglasses she’s taken to wearing a lot lately.

Meanwhile, last night Jessica made an appearance at the opening of the Conga Room in Los Angeles. It was quite a party. Dylan McDermott and Eva Longoria also attended and so did many other celebrity guests. The Black Eyed Peas supplied the music for the evening, but without Fergie, who was in London at the time.

It’s amazing that Jessica had the energy for such a party considering what she was up to Tuesday. Cameras caught her with Honor Marie on a play date in the park. I don’t envy Jess looking after a little one like that all day. It can take a lot out of most people, but apparently not her. She looked plenty energized the next night at the Conga Room.

The working mom’s life didn’t end there for Jessica this week, though. On Monday she was seen grocery shopping in Beverly Hills at Bristol Farms. Even great actresses need groceries, after all. She really seems to be embracing the role of wife and mother just as well as every other roll she’s played.

Speaking of roles she’s played, rumor has it that Sin City 2 is set to begin filming in Spring of 2009. Plus, she’s filming An Invisible Sign of My Own and she’s got The Killer Inside Me in pre-production!

If you’ve lost track, that means she’s playing the real-life roles of mother, wife and actress and the screen roles of a math teacher, a grieving woman and a prostitute all at once! Yet, with all that going on, she still has time to be a calendar girl. It’s amazing!

I find myself wondering what she’ll do next. Will she take Honor to the park? Will she go grocery shopping? What Hollywood hot spots will she visit next? One thing is for sure. She’s an expert juggler of family, work and time.

What roles will she take on in the future? Only time will tell. I think she ought to play a superhero again, personally. Not only was she great as Sue Storm but apparently she is a real-life wonder woman!

Jessica Alba – Calendar Girl

Jessica Alba seems like a force of nature lately. She just had baby Honor Marie with her husband, Cash Warren, a few months back. Yet, she’s already filming An Invisible Sign of My Own, which is set to come out in 2009. Plus, she’s got The Killer Inside Me and Sin City 2 in pre-production. So, now she’s a wife and mother.

She’s also playing a math teacher, a prostitute and a woman grieving a lost love in three separate movies. It’s enough to make most people’s heads spin, but not Jessica’s. She seems to thrive on juggling it all. In fact, just the other day she was seen walking with her husband and baby Honor in tow. Then all of a sudden she and hubby Cash were on a plane to Europe.

While Honor stayed behind this time, she’s already a seasoned traveler at just about six months old. She has to be, since her mom is Jessica Alba. I don’t think Jessica could sit still if she tried. So, everyone around her has to keep up with the bouncing ball that is Jessica Alba.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, Jessica can now add a new title to her resume, calendar girl. It didn’t take her long to get her figure back after having baby Honor. So, Jessica’s eager to show off her post-baby body, it seems. She’s posing for a 2009 Campari calender, to be exact.

The calendar features all sorts of sexy shots of Jessica. Yes, there are swimsuits, but there’s also evening wear and a lot of things in between. What does Jessica have to say about her new job as the face of Campari? Well, she said that it’s a nice change of pace from walking around in comfy clothes with baby Honor on her arm. She seems to have had a good time showing off her many curves, as well as trying many styles of dress.

Will the Campari calendar be good for her career? Well, that remains to be seen. A lot of people think posing for a calendar is a bit of a sell out. Is she a great actress or just a pretty face to drool over, after all?

I think there are always going to be arguments for either side. Personally, I don’t see how a person can play as many different roles as she’s played without being a good actress. I also happen to think that if you’ve got it it can’t hurt to flaunt it once in a while. It’s nice to see a relatively new mom with enough self-esteem and pride to show off her post-baby body, in my opinion.

No matter what happens, you can bet Jessica won’t stop. I don’t think she can. She’s just destined to be a whirlwind. It’s great for the rest of us, who are always looking forward to what she’ll do next.

Jessica Alba is Keeping Busy

You would think, having just had a baby a few months back, that Jessica Alba would be taking it easy, right?  Jessica’s got a lot of stuff coming up, though, especially in the movie department.  She’s definitely not slacking off.

An Invisible Sign of My Own is the movie she’s filming right now.  In it, Jessica plays Mona Gray, a math whiz with a  chip on her shoulder.  When her dad gets ill she loses all drive and faith in life.  Then  she finds work and life again when she becomes an elementary school math teacher.   In fact, she even finds romance!

Of course, Jessica herself isn’t short on romance, since she and her husband, Cash Warren, got married and had baby Honor Marie Warren recently.  So, Jessica is making time for a family life amidst her busy schedule.

Among the other movies Jessica has scheduled is The Killer Inside Me.  She’s slated to play alongside Casey Affleck.  Casey is supposedly going to play a Texas sheriff who is addicted to killing people.  Jessica, meanwhile, is set to play a prostitute of all things.  The Killer Inside Me is in pre-production and slated to come out in 2010.  I’ll say one thing for Jessica, she certainly has avoided being type cast in her career!

Then there’s Sin City 2, which is also in pre-production and set to come out in 2010.  Jessica is set to play Nancy Callahan, who is grieving the loss of her detective love.  It’s unclear who her co-stars are going to be, since the film is still in pre-production, but there are rumors that Rose McGowan from Charmed might be among them.

Jessica Alba is really proving her ability to be diverse when it comes to her acting roles.  As someone who used to love watching the remake of the Flipper TV series she was in in the mid 90’s, it’s incredible to me to see all of her recent roles.

All of a sudden the shy, quiet looking kid has blossomed into a hot Hollywood bombshell!  She really has taken the world by storm.  In fact, I like to think that part of that was due to playing a storm, Susan Storm, in the Fantastic Four movies.  Some people thought the movies were a bit lacking and I agree to a certain extent, but I thought Jessica did a great job in her role.

So what does all of this mean for Jessica?  Well, I don’t see any signs of her slowing down.  I think we can look forward to many more movies from her.  We’re bound to see many more surprises from her along the way, too!

Jessica Alba’s Butt Crack

Jessica Alba pics a wedgie or possibly digs sand out of her bathing suit and cameras are there to capture the magic on film. We just love these photo’s, everyone knows what a great backside she has, and in the past we have had the pleasure of seeing it covered in many a different apparel, but this is the first time we have had the opprotunity to see this much of her derriere, and we must say “WOOHOO” it is stunning! Cash you lucky lil devil you!

Jessica Alba Secures a New Role - Prostitute

While Jessica Alba is currently in New York City, filming An Invisible Sign of My Own she secured her next role in an upcoming production, based on the novel The Killer Inside.

According to the THR, Jessica will be joined by Casey Affleck who plays a West Texas sheriff who is addicted to killing people!, and who falls in love with a prostitute (Alba) and does “funny” things to her…

If you’re looking to get an idea as to what the movie will be like, there is a previous production based on the same book from 1976 starring Stacy Keach.

Jessica Alba’s Dream Baby!

Preparing for the birth of your first child can be nerve-wracking for any new mom, but for Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren, the birth of their daughter Honor Marie Warren on June 7 was anything but chaotic.

“I didn’t scream,” Jessica tells OK! in an exclusive interview and photoshoot. “It was really Zen.” And Cash could only marvel at his wife’s quiet strength when she gave birth. “She didn’t make a sound,” he says. “It was amazing.”
Here, the proud pair open their door exclusively to OK!, introducing the adorable Honor Marie Warren.

“It hasn’t totally sunk in,” Jessica reveals to OK!. “She dreams, she smiles, and coos and does all these things, but she hasn’t seen enough of the world yet to understand any of that stuff. So I still feel like she’s connected to the other world, or something. There’s no other way to explain it. It’s a miracle.”
The Love Guru star tells OK! that she had natural birth. “The labor was more like meditation,” she says. “I did yoga breathing. I was focused.”

Jessica, who tells OK! she ate “a lot of soul food” in the weeks following Honor’s birth, says she’s just now starting to shed the pregnancy pounds.
“I started working out last Thursday, but for 20 minutes. I do cardio on my own. I’m doing it slow,” she says. “Now I’m starting to eat more healthy. Because after working out, having fried chicken and mashed potatoes is a little counteractive.”
So who does Honor look more like?

“She looks like a girl version of me,” Cash says. “She has my nose, my eyebrows and my…”

“Forehead and dimples,” Jessica finishes, adding, “She has my mouth when I was a baby. And my ears.”

“Maybe Honor is a mixture,” Cash reconsiders. “I want her to look like me, because a daughter looking like Jessica, I’d kill myself!”

Jessica Alba LOVES the Olympics

Did you see Michael Phelps break the record for most career Gold Medals at the 2008 Olympics last night?!? Jessica Alba probably did.

The beautiful actress - and new mother - recently blogged all about her affection for the Summer Games, saying that her and husband Cash Warren are glued to the TV every night.

“I don’t know about you all but Cash and I have been glued to the Olympics,” Alba wrote in a MySpace blog post titled What an Amazing Opening Ceremony! “How amazing was the opening ceremony?!? I still don’t know how they coordinated 2008 people to move in perfect sync.”

Alba added:

“The last time I got this excited watching sports was when [friend and new Los Angeles Clippers
point guard Baron Davis] was in the NBA playoffs.”
