CHRISTENSEN 'TERRIFIED' OF SEX SCENE WITH ALBA
Actor HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN was wracked with nerves filming an intimate love scene with JESSICA ALBA in new move AWAKE - because he was in awe of her beauty. The Star Wars hunk admits starring alongside sexy Alba (http://amazon.de/gp/product/B000QDND64?ie=UTF8&tag=darkangefanco-21&link_code=em1&camp=2510&creative=11150&creativeASIN=B000QDND64&adid=42ee5b15-7f49-4496-bbea-c61fc97042e5) was one of the most scary moments of his life. He says, "I was just so nervous. Really nervous. Running around with a lightsaber is really pretend, but when you are put in a situation where the scene you are doing become so real, it is terrifying!"

Jessica Alba’s breastfeeding fears
In Jessica Alba’s first television interview since announcing she’s expecting, she reveals how she is handling her pregnancy.
When asked by Extra reporters how she is feeling, Alba responds, “Definitely a lot more emotions. Anything could make me incredibly angry or break down crying. That’s not something I’m used to.” Alba admits having baby dreams saying, “It [dream] had to do with breastfeeding which is the only thing I’m paranoid about. More than giving birth.” Known for being one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood, Alba tells “Extra” how she is staying in shape. “I try to eat as healthy as possible…Exercise. As long as I don’t gain too much, too fast, that’s the key.”

Jessica "paranoid" about breastfeeding
Jessica Alba is opening up about her pregnancy, talking for the first time since she announced she was engaged and expecting her first child with boyfriend Cash Warren.
"It's quite a blessing and perfect timing," the glowing star told "Extra" at a junket for her new thriller, "The Eye."
The only thing that takes some getting used to?
"Definitely a lot more emotions!" she confessed. "Anything could make me incredibly angry or break down crying, and that's not something I'm used to."
She also admitted that she's already dreaming about baby.
"It had to do with breastfeeding, which is the only thing I'm paranoid about, more than giving birth," she revealed, adding that she's trying not to gain too much weight during the pregnancy.
"I try and eat healthy as possible, good for baby, exercise, as long as i don't' gain too much to fast, that's the key," she said.

Jessica Alba Talks Fantastic Four 3, Dark Angel, Apocalypse
Jessica Alba is the Britney Spears of actresses. As Dennis Hopper says as he ashes, “It’s a fact.” Rumor is, Alba was invented a la Vanessa Angel on Weird Science for us movie blogs on slow days. Want to make a good and original Internet buck? Make a 2008 calendar with Jessica Alba fully clothed 12 times, or better yet, 14. Today, she confirmed to IESB (http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4172&Itemid=99)that a Fantastic Four 3 is in the works, or was…
“I know the writers strike and the impending actors strike has kind of put a wrench in everything production wise. That film takes a lot of prep, a good six months of prep and about six months to shoot. With the strike, I think, maybe it’s put on hold.”
Cloy to the world: Enter “Little Franklin” into the franchise, mighty son of Alba’s Sue Storm…
“Little Franklin? Yeah, I think that would be hilarious. He’s so powerful, I think that would be a really interesting dynamic a mother-child dynamic. She’s still a superhero but she’s super-protective and he’s wild, he can do anything and has no sense of what’s appropriate, that would be really fun.”
And I’m convinced that if two more interviewers inquire about a Dark Angel theatrical movie, it will become a reality, like Beetlejuice…
We’ve talked about it, I want to work with Jim so I would pretty much do anything he wants to do.”

That is what Hispanic is, or mestizo, if you want to go that direction. As a Mexican her father is Spanish and Native American probably from Mayan descent, maybe Olmec or Toltec, as well as Spanish. I believe her Spanish heritage from what she has talked about is fairly recent, in a great grandfather is from Spain. I can't remember the interview that she talked about that. As for her mother French and Danish, her mother's family is from Canada.
I think there kids will be beautiful, he's a good looking young man, and of course she is beautiful. Their heights are not above or below average....both are very athletic, and smart.......I think their kids have great genes to work with..........but I hope that she is much more conservative with the pics of her baby, than some have been. Hopefully their new home is very secure and private.

Pregnancy is Like a Sedative
Jessica Alba apologizes if she’s not showing more excitement for new film, next week’s The Eye, these days. She’s got more important things to focus on, or rather “thing” – her pregnancy. "Being pregnant is kind of like a sedative,” Jessica tells The Daily 10. “Everything's just chill. I don't get as anxious about things. Like right now, a movie coming out, you know overanalyzing everything.And now I'm just kind of like [shrugs]. I got something else going on."
Pregnancy is not without its imperfections, of course.
“[I have] heartburn, the hiccups,” she says. “I wake up to hiccups every single morning. Never had hiccups before." The 26-year-old is due in the spring. The baby’s father is her fiancé, producer Cash Warren, for whom she predicts a bright future in filmmaking. "His first movie (Made in America) got into Sundance, and it's incredibly well-received," she says. "He's worked hard. He really hasn't stopped."
As for her own career, Jessica says it's important to maintain a perspective on the glitz and glamour. "It is…a crazy business and when you get caught up in it you can lose your cool a bit…I look at it as a job. I love what I do. I love entertaining people, I love making movies…that's the ultimate for me in this business."

The Eye Interview
MoviesOnline sat down with Jessica Alba at the Los Angeles press day for her new film, “The Eye,” a bone-chilling supernatural thriller that tests the boundaries of perception and reality. The movie is directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, the team who directed the suspenseful international hit “Them.”
Jessica plays Sydney Wells, an accomplished, independent, Los Angeles-based concert violinist who is also blind and has been so since a childhood tragedy. As our story opens, Sydney undergoes a double corneal transplant, a surgery she has waited her whole life to have, and her sight is restored. After the surgery, neural ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) helps Sydney with the difficult adjustment, and with the support of her older sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney learns to see again.
But Sydney's happiness is short-lived as unexplainable shadowy and frightening images start to haunt her. Are they a passing aftermath of her surgery, Sydney's mind adjusting to sight, a product of her imagination, or something horrifyingly real? As Sydney's family and friends begin to doubt her sanity, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying world only she can now see.
Q: You’re not showing at all. It’s amazing.
Jessica Alba: Really? You haven’t seen my tummy. My tummy is like poof [indicates big and round].
Q: How are you dressing for maternity? How is it different than your everyday dress?
Jessica Alba: I probably dressed more kind of like a tomboy before. You know, jeans, t-shirt, sneakers. I could kind of get away with [that]. Now, nothing fits. The jeans, you’ve got the panel so like the t-shirts are all like stretched in the wrong places and my shoes are too small. Everything is just different. I’m just all about cashmere sweaters and leggings kinda.
Q: Is this the most challenging role you’ve ever had?
Jessica Alba: It kind of was. ‘Dark Angel’ was quite challenging because I really had to carry that and do everything in that but, since then, yeah. It was intense having to play violin and having to play somebody who is blind and becomes sighted and starts to lose her mind a bit, seeing things that aren’t there and, yeah, it was quite challenging and definitely why I wanted to do it. I like horror movies and I’ve wanted to do one for a while and I’ve read many over the years and, to me, this one, the psychological thriller aspect of it, I felt like it was intelligent and complex.
Q: How was it working with the two directors?
Jessica Alba: It was good because you know one was more technically and the other was more sort of worked with us, the actors. It was kind of like Robert [Rodriquez] and Frank [Miller]. Robert sort of took the more technical side and Frank was more with the actors.
Q: Was it harder playing blind or playing the adjustment to sight?
Jessica Alba: The adjustment to sight for sure because I’m so used to seeing, having to then… like in this room, instead of looking at anyone’s face, I’d probably focus more on the table because that’s the one thing that stands out; the white of the table and then maybe like the color of his shirt [red] or your shirt [blue]. You kind of pick up on things differently.
Q: What did you learn from the blind lady you met and worked with?
Jessica Alba: I learned from her that just because you are blind and have this handicap that it really doesn’t need to impede anything in your life except for driving. That’s the only thing she doesn’t do. She travels by herself, takes subways and taxis. She goes to Europe. She was walking on the wrong side of the road in England, you know, crossing the street and people who are sighted still can’t really figure that out [laughter]. She’s fine doing that. I just thought it was incredible that she gets around in life and, to be honest, most cities aren’t equipped with Braille so she has to rely on other people to tell her if it’s a women’s room or a men’s room or what’s on the menu if she wants to buy something and, when she goes shopping, she has to trust that the sales clerk is telling her the right colors so she can label everything properly.
Q: What I really admired about your character was that she did have this disability but she was okay with it. She coped with it and the only reason she got the surgery was because her sister really pushed that. Was that hard for you to wrap your mind around her being okay with being blind?
Jessica Alba: No that’s what I wanted. I wanted it to be not something that she had to cope with but something that was part of who she was and she was fine with it and totally functioning in the world and quite independent and self-sufficient. She had a regular job. It’s not like she had a job for someone with special needs or anything. She was totally fine and it’s kind of society that tells you that you need to be like everyone else was a reason why she did it; primarily her sister and, when she got her sight, is when she actually became more handicapped than ever and she sort of fell apart. I liked that role reversal mentality.
Q: Was the role very physically demanding?
Jessica Alba: A lot of running. Wow, running and at the end was quite tough because it was below freezing. It was below zero when we were shooting that. I think it was negative two. It was so cold and I just had a little jacket on and so that was tough and we were shooting nights for about two weeks and then I guess in the burning building, in the burnt Chinese restaurant because it was such a transition going from when everything was there, then it wasn’t. Then, I’ve got four pages of dialogue that I’m just going on and on and on about everything that’s happened. That was pretty tough.
Q: Did you reference the original film at all, the original actress’s performance?
Jessica Alba: No. I definitely did my own interpretation. I appreciated her take and how stoic she was and sort of quiet her performance was. But, she comes from an Eastern way of looking at ghosts. It’s kind of a part of the culture, the mysticism and it’s a little more accepted and, in Western culture it’s like crazy and ludicrous and it’s like you’re losin’ your frickin’ mind. There’s no way. So, we sort of approached it with more of a Western mentality about it where everyone thinks she’s going crazy and she starts to question her own sanity.
Q: Have you ever seen a ghost or what do you think of ghosts?
Jessica Alba: I haven’t seen a ghost but I’m not closed-minded about it. I think there are too many things that have happened to people in my life who are close to me and too many things that people see and hear that I don’t really know if you can say it doesn’t exist point blank.
Q: You are responding on set to things that aren’t there and you have two directors telling you what you are seeing? How did that work?
Jessica Alba: Well, a bit of that was there and there were some instances where I did see the shadow guy and I did see the ghosts and they showed me what the ghosts would be doing and then they took them out.
Q: Were the effects already done so you could see what it looked like?
Jessica Alba: Not the effects but where a girl is coming at me, she really came at me. They did that and then she did her bit and I did my bit and I kind of had an idea of how it was going to go. The guy in the elevator stood behind me and showed me exactly where he was going to be and how close he was going to be to me and the little kid.
Q: Creepy report card kid? Report card kid was really creepy [we all laugh].
Jessica Alba: Yeah and he said the same thing over and over and over again. What a nightmare!
Q: Did he ever find his report card?
Jessica Alba: I don’t think so.
Q: How hard was the scene where you’re cradling the girl that wasn’t really there?
Jessica Alba: It was tough.
Q: It did actually look like you were holding someone. Was somebody there and they took her out?
Jessica Alba: Yeah, that’s what they did. I did a scene with her in my arms. I think they weren’t sure how much they wanted to show of me and her together or of her, me by myself, all of that. So I did the scene with her in my arms and then I did it without her in my arms. That was tough for sure. Also it’s a pretty horrific thing to see somebody hanging. That was hard.
Q: What’s your biggest fear?
Jessica Alba: I think probably losing touch with reality. Losing my sense of sanity.
Q: This movie must have been really scary for you?
Jessica Alba: Yeah. You start to feel disconnected.
Q: Could you see through the cloudy contacts?
Jessica Alba: No.
Q: You couldn’t see at all? That worked out well for your role?
Jessica Alba: I couldn’t see at all. On the set they didn’t really want me walking around so I had to get taken in a wheelchair everywhere. There’s cables and plywood and cameras.
Q: There was no in and out with the contacts?
Jessica Alba: No, it hurts your eyes I think if you keep continuing to taking them in and out. You have to let them sit in there for awhile.
Q: What was the experience like of not being able to see?
Jessica Alba: Claustrophobic a little bit. It wasn’t everyday, but some days it was long periods of time of not being able to see. I was relieved to get my sight back when I got it. Even having the bloodshot contacts in really impairs your vision. It was trippy.
Q: Did you guys hang out off set with Alessandro Nivola?
Jessica Alba: We went to the director’s house quite a bit. In Albuquerque there’s really only one restaurant that’s pretty good. You can only take Applebee’s and Chili’s so much. Our big day was hanging out at Walmart for five hours. It was like, ‘Yea Walmart!’
Q: What’s the scariest horror film that you’ve ever seen?
Jessica Alba: It’s different because of course my memory and my understanding of horror films because I saw “Nightmare on Elm Street” when I was five. I snuck behind my parents couch and I watched it. I didn’t sleep in the middle of my bed forever. I think all the way up until I was 13 I still didn’t sleep in the middle of my bed because I thought I was going to be sucked in. I’ve watched “Poltergeist” and anything that has demons or ghosts or this thing that is torturing your soul and no one else can see it. It’s crazy. “Psycho” is a good one. “The Birds.” “It.” I’m less of a fan of the super gory.
Q: What other projects are you working on now?
Jessica Alba: I did a comedy with Mike Meyers called ‘The Love Guru’ which is his first original character since Austin Powers. That’s funny. It’s coming out I think in the summer.
Q: Do you play a wild character in that?
Jessica Alba: No. He’s wild. I play more the straight man in that one. I get to do some fun stuff but he’s definitely the crazy one.
Q: So was Love Guru a relief to do after all of this?
Jessica Alba: That was a completely different movie. I finished “The Eye” then I went on press tour for “Fantastic Four” then I had about a month break, then I started “Love Guru.” It was like night and day. It couldn’t have been more different. Hanging out with Mike [Myers] and watching him, seeing how his brain works. Wow he’s a genius. He’s really, really talented.
Q: What about Sin City 2?
Jessica Alba: I haven’t read a script and I don’t know anything about it and Robert and Frank haven’t talked to me about it at all.
Q: How long until we get Fantastic Four 3?
Jessica Alba: I have no idea. I know the writers strike and the impending
actors strike has kind of put a wrench in everything production wise.
That film takes a lot of prep, a good six months of prep and about six
months to shoot. With the strike, I think, maybe it's put on hold.
Q: In the Fantastic Four comics your character becomes a mother. Would you like to see that in the film?
Jessica Alba: Little Franklin? Yeah, I think that would be hilarious. He's so
powerful, I think that would be a really interesting dynamic, a mother-child dynamic. She's still a superhero but she's super-protective and he's wild, he can do anything and has no sense of what's appropriate, that would be really fun.
Q: Any thought into making Dark Angel into a film?
Jessica Alba: We've talked about it.
Q: Would you like to do that or would it be going back for you?
Jessica Alba: I want to work with Jim [Cameron] so I would pretty much do anything he wants to do.
Q: Do you have a dream role that you’d like to play one day?
Jessica Alba: I don’t know. It changes because depending on what age I am becomes sort of more appropriate and to fill different shoes. When I was younger I was always fascinated with Mata Hari. She was a spy and an exotic dancer. You know she got assassinated. I thought she was pretty cool. She was of a mixed race. Now I don’t know. I don’t know where I want to go. I’m really to be honest interested in smaller movies. More indie and character driven, ensemble. Stuff like that.
Q: Will you do less physically demanding roles after becoming a mother?
Jessica Alba: No, I don't think so. I still have to find a really good action movie for me to do. Obviously with “Dark Angel” I have a lot of practice.
Q: What if your child wants to grow up and become an actor, would you be
okay with that?
Jessica Alba: I want my kid to be a nerd. I want him to be really, really smart
and want him to be in the band or orchestra or something. No, it's just a joke I have with my fiancée. He can't be cool. Our kid has to be a nerd. If your child wants to be [something], you want to support him and whatever they want to do, but it's not something that I'd be pushing my kid to do at all. I think it's important for your kid to find their own way.
Q: What are you most looking forward to about motherhood?
Jessica Alba: I don't know. Seeing the baby. I want it to be here right now. I
can't imagine what it's going to be like until it happens.
Q: What's the most surprising thing you've learned about being pregnant?
Jessica Alba: I kind of knew about everything else except for being so tired. You're quite tired. It really is taxing on your body.
Q: Is there anything you're dreading? I'm sure people have told you lots of horror stories?
Jessica Alba: Of course you hear lots of horror stories, but none of them really
end in like I would never do that again. They always end in it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. So, no matter what, it's always the greatest gift someone has had in their life. Anything can happen and I always try to keep a very positive attitude and hopefully my baby feels that energy.
Q: Do you want to have a big family?
Jessica Alba: Yeah. I'm surrounded with lots of family. Family is important to me.
Q: Do you still cook?
Jessica Alba: Yeah.
Q: What’s your best recipe?
Jessica Alba: I don’t know. I kind of just cook anything that I feel like. I like to do different things. I did Cornish game hens with a cranberry stuffing and mashed pureed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes. I do different salads and stuff. I like to change it up.

While there, she spoke out about how being pregnant has affected her.
"You go, ‘What’s happening? You definitely have to go with the flow. You have to surrender, but it’s a shock to the system.
I’ve always loved kids and I’ve always wanted kids, so this is, you know, it’s kind of perfect. I feel really blessed. I feel really lucky. This is the best time ever … It’s the best year."
As far as getting married goes, Jess replied,
"I’ve thought about it. I’ve thought about it, yeah."I recorded it this morning.
she has such a great glow about her here.

B-D Chats With 'The Eye' Star Jessica Alba! (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/10992)
Hitting theaters this Friday is Lionsgate's remake of The Eye (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/film/655), which stars Jessica Alba who plays Sydney, a young woman who receives a cornea transplant only to start seeing ghosts. To try and hype her film, Alba took some time out of her busy schedule to sit down with SpookyDan to chat about the film, seeing ghosts and more. Read on for the skinny.
Last week I had the chance to sit down and chat with the sexy Jessica Alba, who stars in Lionsgate’s remake of THE EYE. Alba discussed the differences between the American and the original from Thailand, “I saw it (the original) the same time I read the script, I enjoyed it,” she continues, “The main character is quite stoic and I enjoyed her performance. The main difference between the two versions is the original is much more of an eastern way of approach to ghosts; it’s not so far fetched for ghosts to be part of people’s consciousness. Where as in western culture, whenever people think of ghost or the paranormal - that’s just crazy. We’re nuts, and there is no way…”
Alba also chatted a bit about the French horror film ILS (Them), which was directed by THE EYE helmers David Moreau and Xavier Palud. “Ils has virtually no dialog, and was quite simple, and yet it was captivating and terrifying. You are gripping your seat from beginning to end, and you are really just watching these two people in a house being chased. The fact that they can do so much and keep your attention, with no words, I thought was great and I wanted them to infuse that into this (The Eye)”, she continues, “My main goal was that it needed to be scary! Yes it’s a sophisticated horror movie, [but] it needs to be scary!”
In the film Alba plays the lead roll of Sydney Wells a blind violinist who has been given an eye transplant that restores her vision, but over time she starts to see a little more than she bargained for. This posed a challenge for Alba who had never picked up a violin, and needed to bring a realistic portrait of a blind woman to the screen. “I studied with a blind vocalist who has been blind since she was two years old. She travels the world and goes by herself, she is totally self sufficient. From her I wanted Sydney to embody her strength. Everything is different from using the cane to being able to read Braille to figure out which bathroom is men’s and which is female.” More than just acting blind, Alba needed to learn to play the violin because Moreau and Palud were insistent on not using doubles. “I had never had any training (before the film) so I really just worked my butt off and winged it. For six months, using three different teachers, I practiced everyday, on every lunch break or during any free time I had.” She still has the violin at home an occasionally picks it up, “Now when I play at home, all of my dogs run away. In the film I actually played everything, it just sounded terrible!”

Alba Is Getting a New Set of Peepers
Jessica Alba talks about being a blind clairvoyant in this exciting new thriller.
David Moreau and Xavier Palud's latest collaborative effort The Eye is based on a 2002 Hong Kong thriller of the same name directed by the Pang Brothers. It finds a young blind violinist getting more than she bargained for when she agrees to a corneal transplant.
Jessica Alba plays Sydney Wells, a woman that starts to see ghosts after she receives the corneas of a young Mexican woman. After a series of harrowing accidents, this new set of eyes opens Wells' sixth sense. She soon finds herself in a race against the clock to stop a major accident that will kill a group of innocent bystanders.
We recently met with Alba to talk about her film, and what it was like going blind for the role. She shared some insight into the filming making process and offered us a chance to get to know her character a little better.
Can you describe your character?
Jessica Alba: I play Sydney Wells. She is a blind classical violinist. She is a soloist. She has a corneal transplant, and she regains her sight. When she regains her sight, she also takes on the memories and abilities of the woman that she got her eyes from. She ends up seeing people who are dead. And also, she is psychic and can see the future. They're more tragic things. She doesn't really see positive, great things. She is sort of plagued with this ability. This horrible thing. She feels like she is losing her mind. Because she can't touch base with what is real and what is not. Also, she can see for the first time. So it is hard for her to get a grip on it.
What attracted you to the project?
Jessica Alba: The fact that I got to play someone that was blind. And a violin player. I thought this was a pretty complex character for a horror movie. And it is not necessarily a gore fest. It is not about someone getting tortured. It is more about someone losing their sanity. And trying to get it back. I thought the story was pretty interesting and layered. Especially the relationship she had with her sister. And the doctor. I felt that was pretty unconventional and cool.
Did you study with actual blind people?
Jessica Alba: Yes. I spent time at two blind orientation centers. One in Los Angeles and one in New Mexico. At the one in New Mexico I was with twelve other students. They were fairly young. Some of them were parents. Some of them were just kids. They had immediately become blind from an accident, or they had slowly become blind over time. And they were slowly learning how to come to terms with their blindness. As an actress coming in, they had no idea who I was. They just thought I was another blind person. The thing is, I could just take my mask off and walk away. They couldn't. That was kind of difficult to deal with. And quite humbling. I learned how to read brail, walk with a cane. I learned how to label my clothes. I figured out how to label and work my way around the kitchen. From the sink, to the stove, to the refrigerator. You label absolutely everything in the house.
So you can read a whole book in brail right now?
Jessica Alba: No. You just learn the basics. If I studied it more, and was blind, I would obviously learn more. I just needed to understand how to read it. And I was able to make out some notes and sentences.
Did you work with anyone that regained their site?
Jessica Alba: I did meet a few people that had corneal transplants. One guy had regained his eyesight, and then he lost it again. Then I met someone else who had a degenerative disease, and then she got a corneal transplant and regain her sight completely. Yeah. It is pretty true how disorienting it is to take in everything at once. And that everything is brand new. It really plays tricks on your mind and your perception.
Had you seen the original Pang Brothers movie before you made this?
Jessica Alba: Yeah, of course. I enjoyed the original. I really loved that the main character was kind of stoic. I loved that performance. It was subtle and quite elegant. In the Eastern culture, ghosts and mysticism are part of that society. It is more widely accepted. In Western culture, it is just not. People think you are insane if you believe in ghosts. It is completely unacceptable to say that you are seeing stuff. So, we took a more Western approach. We are obviously doing a Western version of it. But I loved the first one. It is a beautiful movie.
What is the biggest challenge in playing a blind person?
Jessica Alba: Becoming sighted and playing the violin blind. That was tough. I had to do so much training on that violin. Not being able to look at the notes, just having to play from feeling was nearly impossible.
So, you were really playing the violin in the movie?
Jessica Alba: Yeah, I did. I had to. They said in post that they had someone come in and play all the notes I was playing just to make it sound nicer. When I was playing them, it sounded really bad. It was screechy and high pitched. Very bizarre. The notes were there. I played the notes, and I kept the rhythm. It just sounded really bad.
How long did you have to prepare for this role?
Jessica Alba: About four and a half months. But I was shooting another movie. I had "The Fantastic Four", and then I had Christmas break. Over Christmas break, I got really into it.
Had you seen the directors' other film Them before you signed onto this?
Jessica Alba: Yeah. That is why we hired them for this. The fact that they did a movie with virtually no dialogue? That was very scary. It was thrilling. You are going on this journey with this two people through this house. They made that really entertaining. We wanted them to bring that element to this movie. We had the complicated character. We had the plot twists. We really needed them to infuse the scary into the film.
Is there anything in this film that you want young woman to take away from it?
Jessica Alba: I think there is something quite empowering about watching a fairly young person star in a movie. Something that isn't exploitive. It is very entertaining. And my character is very strong. She is independent. She is seeking a truth. Everyone things she is nuts, and that she is losing her mind. She is staying pretty true to finding the truth. She wants to find her sanity. I think you can look at it in the most broad of terms. I think seeing a young person in a film that isn't exploitive is kind of cool.
Did you want to avoid the gore?
Jessica Alba: Yeah. I didn't really feel like playing someone that was tortured or mutilated. Or anything. I think there is enough of that. For me, I think it is much more interesting to watch what is going on in someone's head. Is it real? Is it not? The psychological aspect is much more intriguing to me.
Are you a believer in the super natural?
Jessica Alba: I am not closed off to it. There have been certain things that have happened to people in my life. There are unexplained things. I can't be totally shut off from it.
How would they approach a sequel to this?
Jessica Alba: I have no idea.
You guys never discussed it on set? Maybe she gets someone else's eyes?
Jessica Alba: I have no idea. Maybe though her corneas are now damaged, she still keeps that clairvoyant ability.
Do you see this as a Pro-stem cell research film? Or is that just a throw away line in the movie?
Jessica Alba: I don't know if it is a pro-stem cell research movie. Though, I just read that they can now take stem cells from an embryo without killing it. They just learned how to do it, and they are trying to get the Government to okay it.
The Pang Brothers had a definite social commentary running through their original film. Was that abandoned here?
Jessica Alba: That wasn't discussed. But I am into the stem cell research. I think it is amazing if we can do it without having to damage the embryos. It would be a dream come true. And science is now able to do that. I have always been into this stuff. It was my favorite subject in school. Nano technology is really interesting to me. Just stuff that makes our world a cleaner, better place through science. Also, it kind of explains things that are happening. Yeah. I like science.

Interview: The Eye's Jessica Alba
Source: Heather Newgen
January 29, 2008
http://shocktillyoudrop.com/nextraimages/albaint-1.jpgJessica Alba has admitted that pregnancy has taken a toll on her and she's exhausted, but the 26-year-old beauty looked radiant during our interview for her upcoming horror flick The Eye (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=690) which is a remake of the Pang Bros.' Gin gwai. Alba, a few months pregnant now, walked into the room in a short-sleeved cream colored dress with a fabulous jeweled neckline paired with skinny jeans which made her look so incredibly thin we had to ask if she was really pregnant because she looked that amazing.
ShockTillYouDrop.com sat down with the mom to be and talked to her about The Eye (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=690) as well as her new film The Love Guru (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=18786) starring Mike Myers.
ShockTillYouDrop.com: Is this the most challenging role you've ever had?
Jessica Alba: It kind of was. "Dark Angel" was quite challenging because I really had to carry that and do everything in that but, since then, yeah. It was intense having to play violin and having to play somebody who is blind and becomes sighted and starts to lose her mind a bit, seeing things that aren't there. It was quite challenging and definitely why I wanted to do it. I like horror movies and I've wanted to do one for a while. I've read many over the years and, to me, this one, the psychological thriller aspect of it, I felt like it was intelligent and complex.
Shock: Was it harder playing blind or playing the adjustment to sight?
Alba: The adjustment to sight, for sure, because I'm so used to seeing., Like in this room, instead of looking at anyone's face, I'd probably focus more on the table because that's the one thing that stands out. The white of the table and then maybe like the color of his shirt [red] or your shirt . You kind of pick up on things differently.
[B]Shock: What did you learn from the blind woman you met and worked with?
Alba: I learned from her that just because you are blind and have this handicap that it really doesn't need to impede anything in your life except for driving. That's the only thing she doesn't do. She travels by herself, takes subways and taxis. She goes to Europe. She was walking on the wrong side of the road in England, crossing the street and people who are sighted still can't really figure that out. [laughs] She's fine doing that. I just thought it was incredible that she gets around in life and, to be honest, most cities aren't equipped with Braille so she has to rely on other people to tell her if it's a women's room or a men's room or what's on the menu if she wants to buy something. When she goes shopping she has to trust that the sales clerk is telling her the right colors so she can label everything properly.
http://shocktillyoudrop.com/nextraimages/albaint-2.jpgShock: What I really admired about your character was that she did have this disability but she was okay with it. She coped with it and the only reason she got the surgery was because her sister really pushed that. Was that hard for you to wrap your mind around her being okay with being blind?
Alba: No, that's what I wanted. I wanted it to be not something that she had to cope with but something that was part of who she was and she was fine with it - totally functioning in the world and being quite independent and self-sufficient. She had a regular job. It's not like she had a job for someone with special needs or anything. She was totally fine and it's kind of society that tells you that you need to be like everyone else was a reason why she did it. Primarily her sister and, when she gets her sight, it's then she actually becomes more handicapped than ever and she sort of falls apart. I liked that role-reversal mentality.
Shock: Was the role very physically demanding?
Alba: A lot of running. Wow, running and at the end was quite tough because it was below freezing. It was below zero when we were shooting that. I think it was negative two. It was so cold and I just had a little jacket on and so that was tough. We were shooting nights for about two weeks. Then [there was] the burning building, in the burnt Chinese restaurant because it was such a transition going from when everything was there, then it wasn't. Then, I've got four pages of dialogue that I'm just going on and on and on about everything that's happened. That was pretty tough.
Shock: Did you reference the original film at all, the original actress's performance?
Alba: No. I definitely did my own interpretation. I appreciated her take and how stoic she was and sort of quiet her performance was. But, she comes from an Eastern way of looking at ghosts. It's kind of a part of the culture, the mysticism and it's a little more accepted. In Western culture it's crazy and ludicrous and it's like you're losing your frickin' mind. There's no way. So, we sort of approached it with more of a Western mentality about it where everyone thinks she's going crazy and she starts to question her own sanity.
Shock: Have you ever seen a ghost or what do you think of ghosts?
Alba: I haven't seen a ghost but I'm not closed-minded about it. I think there are too many things that have happened to people in my life who are close to me and too many things that people see and hear that I don't really know if you can say it doesn't exist point blank.
Shock: What other projects are you working on now?
Alba: I did a comedy with Mike Meyers called "The Love Guru" which is his first original character since Austin Powers. That's funny. It's coming out I think in the summer.
Shock: Do you play a wild character in that?
Alba: No. He's wild. I play more the straight man in that one. I get to do some fun stuff but he's definitely the crazy one.
Shock: In "The Eye," you are responding on set to things that aren't there and you have two directors telling you what you are seeing... How did that work?
Alba: Well, a bit of that was there and there were some instances where I did see the shadow guy and I did see the ghosts and they showed me what the ghosts would be doing and then they took them out.
http://shocktillyoudrop.com/nextraimages/albaint-3.jpgShock: Were the effects already done so you could see what it looked like?
Alba: Not the effects but where a girl is coming at me, she really came at me. They did that and then she did her bit and I did my bit. I kind of had an idea of how it was going to go. The guy in the elevator stood behind me and showed me exactly where he was going to be and how close he was going to be to me and the little kid.
Shock: How hard was the scene where you're cradling the girl that wasn't really there?
Alba: It was tough.
Shock: It did actually look like you were holding someone. Was somebody there and they took her out?
Alba: Yeah, that's what they did. I did a scene with her in my arms. I think they weren't sure how much they wanted to show of me and her together or of her, me by myself. So I did the scene with her in my arms and then I did it without her in my arms. That was tough for sure. Also, it's a pretty horrific thing to see somebody hanging. That was hard.
Shock: What's your biggest fear?
Alba: I think probably losing touch with reality. Losing my sense of sanity.
Shock: This movie must have been really scary for you?
Alba: Yeah. You start to feel disconnected.
Shock: What's the scariest horror film that you've ever seen?
Alba: I saw "Nightmare on Elm Street" when I was five. I snuck behind my parents couch and I watched it. I didn't sleep in the middle of my bed forever. I think all the way up until I was 13 I still didn't sleep in the middle of my bed because I thought I was going to be sucked in. I've watched "Poltergeist" and anything that has demons or ghosts or this thing that is torturing your soul and no one else can see it. It's crazy. "Psycho" is a good one. "The Birds." "It." I'm less of a fan of the super gory.
Shock: Could you see through the cloudy contacts?
Alba: No.
Shock: You couldn't see at all? That worked out well for your role?
Alba: I couldn't see at all. On the set they didn't really want me walking around so I had to get taken in a wheelchair everywhere. There are cables and plywood and cameras.
Shock: There was no in and out with the contacts?
Alba: No, it hurts your eyes if you keep continuing to taking them in and out. You have to let them sit in there for awhile.
http://shocktillyoudrop.com/nextraimages/albaint-4.jpgShock: So, was "Love Guru" a relief to do after all of this?
Alba: That was a completely different movie. I finished "The Eye" then I went on press tour for "Fantastic Four" then I had about a month break, then I started "Love Guru." It was like night and day. It couldn't have been more different. Hanging out with Mike [Myers] and watching him, seeing how his brain works. Wow, he's a genius. He's really, really talented.
Shock: Do you have a dream role that you'd like to play one day?
Alba: I don't know. It changes because depending on what age I am it becomes sort of more appropriate to fill different shoes. When I was younger I was always fascinated with Mata Hari. She was a spy and an exotic dancer. You know she got assassinated. I thought she was pretty cool. She was of a mixed race. Now, I don't know. I don't know here I want to go. I'm really, to be honest, interested in smaller movies. More indie and character-driven, ensemble. Stuff like that.
Shock: Did you guys hang out off set with Alessandro Nivola?
Alba: We went to the director's house quite a bit. In Albuquerque there's really only one restaurant that's pretty good. You can only take Applebee's and Chili's so much. Our big day was hanging out at Walmart for five hours. It was like, "Yeah, Walmart!"
Shock: How was it working with the two directors?
Alba: It was good because you know one was more technical and the other worked with us more...the actors. It was kind if like Robert [Rodriquez] and Frank [Miller]. Robert sort of took the more technical side and Frank was more with the actors.
Shock: Will you do less physically demanding roles after becoming a mother?
Alba: No, I don't think so. I still have to find a really good action movie for me to do. Obviously with "Dark Angel" I have a lot of practice.

Jessica's Morning Talk
Hesitating to call Jessica Alba's pregnancy the "elephant in the room," Matt Lauer jumped straight to baby talk when the 26-year-old stopped by the Today show this morning to promote her latest horror flick. The Eye star played ball, admitting that while she was shooting The Love Guru during the early months of her pregnancy, "It wasn't like morning sickness, it was all-day sickness."
"I've always loved kids, wanted kids; it's kind of perfect," she said. As for her changing body, "You go with what's happening... but it's a shock to the system. I was never one to emphasize my looks... [being pregnant,] I feel really blessed, feel really lucky." As for her acting career, life as a soon-to-be mom may shake things up for the Fantastic Four actress. "I might go more indy for a while... do more character-driven stuff for a while."

It's a Boy for Jessica Alba
It's pretty clear Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are having a boy. The beauty bought baby furniture in a nautical theme in L.A.'s Petit Tresor, and grabbed a blue Huddy Buddy onesie reading "I'm a Boy" on the way out.
Meanwhile, Alba lent her shoulder to Eddie Murphy's latest ex, Tracey Edmonds, at the 50 Cent/Myspace concert at TAO Park City. The two talked so privately about Edmonds' failed relationship that the "Fantastic Four" star asked Warren to leave the VIP area so the two could have some one-on-one girl talk.

she's gonna be on the cover of 'Latina' magazine. i don't think she's ever said she doesn't like being latina or anything but when asked about her ethnicity she said she doesn't really refer to herself as latina because she didn't grow up in latin culture. she said she's feels more AMERICAN or something like that. she just doesn't think of herself as latina since the only thing latin about her is her ethnicity. that's why Perez Hilton keeps calling her Jessica "don't call me latina" Alba. it's not that she's ashamed to be latina, she just doesn't particularly embrace her heritage...

is it true that alba will be in a latina magazine?
is it also true that she said that she doesnt like when someone says latina to her?
What do you mean when they say something latina to her?
People always just talk about her latina side but there are other sides to her besides that part.

Hi Everyone!
Hi Everyone! for the first time i wanted to connect directly with my friends and fans through a blog on myspace. i heard so many wonderful things about blogging but i had never tried it myself. growing up i kept a journal so i guess to a certain degree this is the same thing. With all the movies and magazines there's a certain interpretation of me that for the most part isnt accurate, so here i'm giving you the real me. ever have a question you want to ask me??? go ahead and post it.
I'm excited to use my movie, The Eye to launch this page. I love horror movies. Images from The Eye will stay with you for a while and give you nightmares, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I love paranormal TV shows, whether its the show about a guy who is talking to dead people or the show about "gifted kids (http://amazon.de/gp/product/1575420899?ie=UTF8&tag=darkangefanco-21&link_code=em1&camp=2510&creative=11150&creativeASIN=1575420899&adid=3645d5c6-55a2-4784-8f67-bcbc5102a1f4)" who see the and feel spirits, I cant stay away from them.

Expectant starlet Jessica Alba dropped by the New York City set of The Tyra Show to cash in on some free celebrity baby shower gifts. Tyra presented Jessica with a stage full of presents worth over $6000! As for any changes the mum-to-be is experiencing, Alba tells the always hard-hitting Tyra: “I’ve never dealt with cleavage before… it’s a whole new thing. I’ve increased from a 32B to a 34D.” (fadedyouthblog.com)
Tyra spends the hour with actress and mother-to-be Jessica Alba. Jessica talks about her newest thriller, “The Eye,” her charity, “Step Up” and how life will change when she becomes a mom. Then, with the help of Momlogic.com, Grand Avenue Baby and Bel Bambini, Tyra surprises Jessica with her first baby shower. Tyra also speaks with Jessica’s co-star, Alessandro Nivola, about his experience filming the anticipated movie.
Ask any pregnant woman what the best part of becoming a mother is and she will inevitably tell you that it’s the joy of bringing a new life into the world. But what she’s really thinking about are all the free gifts you get! Diaper genies, baby Bjorns, cradles, strollers, cribs, bibs… the list goes on and on."

Vision Quest
In The Eye, Jessica Alba strips away the layers of her glamorous Hollywood image and steps into the role of Sydney Wells, a blind musician whose world begins to fall apart after an eye operation leaves her with cellular memory, which gives her the ability to see horrifying grim reapers and the walking-dead. Well, it’s either that, or she’s suffering from delusional visions resulting from the stress of the operation. No one seems to know for sure, including Sydney herself.
“I think that people will walk in with one idea of what this [movie] might be, and walk out affected in a different way,” says Alba. “This movie is far richer than it might seem on the surface, and I hope people will feel more connected to this movie than they expected.”
MySpace Celebrity catches up with Jessica on an unusually dark, stormy night in L.A. to talk about scary movies and why her new flick gave her nightmares:
You mention in the production notes for The Eye that you were looking for “the right thriller/horror movie to do.” What inspired you to pursue a horror story?
I’ve always been a fan of horror films, and I think it’s a really great genre. You get such a visceral reaction when you go to a horror movie, you know? Right away, your heart’s beating fast and you’re cringing and sort of rooting for the main character not to have anything bad happen to ‘em, even though you know it’s inevitable.
What are some of your favorite horror movies?
Nightmare on Elm Street, Psycho, The Birds, Poltergeist, It.
Considering that you had to virtually “live” as femme fatale Sydney Wells while making The Eye, did you have nightmares when you went home from the set each night? Or were you able to mentally remove yourself from that world?
I did remove myself, but I definitely still had some nightmares. (laughs) We were shooting in Albuquerque--and it’s quite a sort of mystical, spiritual place, New Mexico. So, yeah, it was pretty trippy because I did have lots of very vivid dreams.
That’s the sign of a good actress!
(laughs) Yeah.
If you could have an operation, like your character in The Eye, that could give you an added feature or power, what would it be?
The ability to understand and speak any language in the world.
Judging from previous interviews in which you've discussed your artistic goals, it seems that The Eye is the movie you’ve been waiting to make because it presents the opportunity to play a very challenging character. Were there any obstacles you had to hurdle in bringing the character of blind musician Sydney Wells to life?
Yeah, it was definitely a challenge, because I had to play a concert violinist as well as someone who is blind and gains their sight. So I did lots of training. I spent six months learning to play the violin, and spent time with a few blind orientation centers. And I spent a lot of time with a woman who has been blind since she was two, and just observed the way she moves around and gets around the world and does her thing, from pouring water to how she uses her cane in a new space to how she sits and talks and communicates. So she was quite inspiring.
Your roles have been very eclectic—you’ve played a superhero, hip-hop dancer and now you’re the femme fatale in a horror film. Is there any type of character that you still long to play or genre of film that you want to explore?
Yeah. I’m interested in doing action, for sure. I have yet to find a script that is suited, I think, for me to do. Something where you would normally think of a man as being the lead in, but instead it’s me. That’s as far as big movies go. Small movies, I’m more into doing independents more to balance out the big movies. It’s nice not to have the pressure of opening weekend, and to be able to do something that is just creatively fulfilling.
If you could have anyone in history—real or fictitious—as your No. 1 friend on MySpace, who would it be?
Number one? Hmmm... Right now, it’d probably be Obama. (laughs) I’d like to see how he’s doing in all the different states he’s going to; and in all the different cities, seeing how people are taking in his speeches. It would be fun to blog with Obama. (laughs)

She's not blind to her looks
But versatility, not beauty, is Jessica Alba's aim.
http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/1998/jessicatheeyeff3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
THIS spring, Jessica Alba will give birth to her first child with fiancé and movie producer Cash Warren. But on a recent evening, the 26-year-old star was anticipating another due date: the release of "The Eye," a remake of the Pang brothers' 2002 Hong Kong thriller. Alba stars in the film as a blind musician who, after receiving a dead woman's eyes in a double corneal transplant, is haunted by hellish visions.
"I want people to talk to the screen and be like, 'It's behind you!' 'Get out of there!' " says Alba, giggling gleefully. "I think that's fun."
Alba is actually a bit of a closet horror fan. As a kid, she used to hide behind her parents' couch to sneak peeks of scary movies such as "Hellraiser" and "Friday the 13th," as well as Hitchcock classics. And she once took a date to see "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" to ensure maximum cuddle time. "When you're just starting to get used to the opposite sex, it's a great icebreaker," she says, her voice cracking ever so slightly.
While she still likes getting her thrills and chills, "The Eye" appealed to Alba because "it has some humanity to it," she says. "Nobody's getting mutilated." She also saw it as a chance to challenge herself and, in the process, perhaps even change the way audiences see blind people. "I wanted her to get her disability when she got her sight," the star says of her character, a concert violinist. "It's kind of a reverse of how everyone feels about this handicap."
As a character study, "The Eye" marks a bit of a departure for Alba, who is perhaps better known for her bikini-perfect body than for her acting chops, despite being serious about her craft.
On this January evening, the mommy-to-be was in full nesting mode in her L.A. home, awaiting the arrival of her friend and stunt double from "Fantastic Four" for some girly bonding time ("I might do nails") before heading to the Sundance Film Festival to support "Made in America," a new documentary from Stacy Peralta about gang violence that Warren co-produced.
Alba is more than comfortable with a peripatetic lifestyle. Her father served in the Air Force, and she moved around a great deal as a child, spending time in California, Mississippi and Texas. Growing up, she and her older brother, Joshua, enjoyed all the staples of a Mexican American household -- though the actress is also of Danish and French ancestry. She remembers dinners of carne asada, rice and beans, and tripe soup, as well as "tortillas with every single meal -- even spaghetti."
By high school, Alba had embarked on an acting career, filming the TV series "Flipper" in Australia and being privately tutored on the set. Later, when she returned to Southern California to continue acting on TV shows, including "Chicago Hope," she found herself searching for a real sense of identity. "It was a weird time," recalls the actress. "I wanted to figure out my purpose in life."
Performing helped give her that sense of direction. After taking an acting class with William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman at New York's Atlantic Theater Company, Alba got her first big break, starring as a genetically enhanced action hero on the television series "Dark Angel," created by "Titanic" director James Cameron. Since then, she has played a host of "hottie" roles, including a sexy scuba diver in "Into the Blue" and a sweet-natured stripper in Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City," a movie that required the star to do her homework.
Among the tips Alba picked up while shadowing strippers for "Sin City": To deal with anxiety, down a shot and stare at one spot on the wall. At the time, the experience was quite a reality check for the sheltered actress, who had been anticipating a little more glitz and a little less grit.
"You know, you saw Demi Moore in 'Striptease' and you're like, 'Oh, my God, it's the most glamorous thing ever!' " Alba says. "And it's not. . . . So, I watched Beyoncé videos and channeled her."
"The Eye" offered the actress a very different kind of challenge. Alba's preparation for the role began a few years ago when she started eschewing lunch breaks for violin lessons in her trailer on the set of "Fantastic Four" and later "Good Luck Chuck." ("My costars would hear the violin and they'd go, 'Rrrehh, rrrehh.' You know, it sounds really bad," she says, laughing.)
She also worked with a blind consultant and attended a blind orientation center. There, she began learning how to read and write basic Braille and walk with a cane while wearing sleep shades. "When you get over the shock of not being able to see, you definitely get more attuned to the rest of your senses," the star says of the experience. "I became more sensitive."
As for why she doesn't take on more Latina roles, Alba says she wants to wait for the right one. But her cultural identity is still very important to her. "When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's definitely not white. I don't have thin lips. I have dark brown eyes. Even though I have light skin, when I'm in the sun I don't burn," Alba says, with a sly laugh. "Yeah, I have flavor."
Nor does Alba feel the need to defend her decision to conceive a child out of wedlock. "I'm a grown 26-year-old person, I'm a good person, I give a lot of myself to people who I love, and to people who I don't even know," she says. "I try to be as good of an example as I can. But I can't succumb to anyone having any sort of weird judgments about me because I'm not married."
Certainly, her impending motherhood will help Alba develop an entirely new skill set in her personal life, but professionally she's continuing to expand her horizons. Next up she's set to appear opposite Mike Myers in "The Love Guru," but beyond that, she's looking for roles that will demonstrate her versatility. Most of all, Alba, who admires Charlize Theron's Oscar-winning transformation in "Monster," wants to be seen as a multifaceted actress who can take on any role.
"I'm not really attached to my appearance," she confesses. "I know I can get dressed up and look like something. But what's more of a challenge is someone allowing you to play that role and letting you go there -- having a director and writers believe in you. To do something where I got to just concentrate on the performance and discover, that's the ultimate, as far as I'm concerned."

"When I play, my dogs run away from me - they try and cover their ears. I'm like, 'I'm sorry!'" JESSICA ALBA admits learning the violin for her role in remake THE EYE was torture on her pets. (contactmusic.com)
"My number one is probably JOHNNY DEPP. GEORGE CLOONEY has that old-school feel and I like ERIC BANA. To me, it is so much more about the whole package." FANTASTIC FOUR star JESSICA ALBA names her favourite leading men.(contactmusic.com)

ok.
thats why i asked. because if she would ever say that she doesnt like to be called latina because she isnt that would make her stupid.
like when she said that she wants to be taken serious with her movies and after that...................she is in a magazine in her underwear
I think if you looked at her photoshoots as a whole, looking at all of them from Dark Angel to the present, and compared them to most other actresses out there, you would find that they are actually very conservative in their look.....
As far as the GQ shoot that you are referring to, that was in relation to the Sin City promotion, and she herself has said that that is the furthest she would ever go, as far as a shoot like that....and was surprised by it, herself...
Look at her dress as far as red carpets, photo shoots, every day wear, what she wears in promoting her movies, etc.....you will find that she dresses very conservatively as opposed to other actresses out there....
She has said that she understands that her looks are used, and for the most part doesn't mind that, its part of the business.....but she is moving into another chapter of her acting career, and as her choices in movie roles will show (that is working more in smaller, indy type roles, etc) there will be less emphasis on her looks....
Taking one quote and one photo shoot, and building an opinion around just those two things, without seeing it as a whole, is kind of shallow...:yay: Blogs tend to move one direction, she is just moving in another....

As far as the Latina thing goes....
I have a very Scottish last name, so am I to only see myself, and refer to myself as Scottish....I was born in America, both my parents were born in America....
YET, I am also, Native American, French and Danish.....
Jessica is.....Native American, Spanish, Danish and French.......because of her lastname should she only see herself as Latina? In my opinion, no....
I am very proud of my Scottish heritage on my father's side, and I'm proud of the other on my mother's side....but I'm American first....
She has stated many times that she is proud of her Latina heritage, but was brought up as an American, her grandparents thought that to be very important......therefore she sees herself as an American above all else......sounds perfectly logical to me, who is as much of mixed descent as she is.......

The Eye Review
See the original but keep your eyes closed to this Asian horror remake.
by Todd Gilchrist (http://uk.movies.ign.com/email.html) http://media.ign.com/ign/images/readmyblog.gif (http://blogs.ign.com/tgilchrist/)
US, January 31, 2008 - Jessica Alba's new film The Eye is less a horror movie than it is a superhero origin story -- sort of Unbreakable by way of The Sixth Sense, but without a surprise ending (or really any surprises at all). Based on yet another Hong Kong creepshow that was bought from its creators and subsequently transformed into a Hollywood suspense tome, directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud rely on far too many story and style clichés to offer more than completely conventional scares. All of which means that The Eye not only qualifies as a lackluster horror film, not to mention general piece of entertainment, but confirms that Asian horror is one of the most undeserving and creatively disappointing Tinseltown obsessions of recent years.
Alba plays Sydney Wells, a blind violinist who must rediscover the world after she undergoes an operation to restore her eyesight. Her sister Helen (Parker Posey) wants to keep her company, but Sydney is determined to recover on her own. But when she starts experiencing frightening visions of screaming creatures leading friends and acquaintances to their deaths, she turns to Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) for help. Eventually, Sydney discovers that she has somehow gained the ability to see the past, present, and a possible future, and must now process that information in the hopes of saving lives -- potentially including her own -- from a mysterious and deadly event.
The Eye is emblematic of the sorry state of modern horror because its so-called success relies primarily if not exclusively on the stupidity and willful ignorance of its characters, and by extension, its audience. Sydney, for example, has spent the majority of her life blind, but she refuses help from her sister. This is understandable at first, but after just one creepy vision, wouldn't any thinking person be reaching for the speed dial, if only for emotional comfort? Helen, meanwhile, professes how guilty she feels for blinding Sydney in the first place, but is all but unreachable for the remainder of the film -- so much so that when Sydney does finally call, Helen has gone out of town without telling her. And finally, Paul probably qualifies as the most impatient and unsympathetic therapist in the history of movie doctors, being mean and generally indifferent to Sydney's increasingly disturbing visions before finally accusing her of imagining them in order to put off her rehabilitation and reintroduction into society.
Screenwriter Sebastian Gutierrez, who wrote 2006's Snakes on a Plane and the equally-crappy 2003 thriller Gothika, deserves a considerable share of the blame for creating these paper-thin characters and then chucking them into an equally flimsy story. But directors Moreau and Palud elect to employ not one original visual idea in the entire movie, instead resorting to animated camerawork that exudes style without a shred of substance. The vague sense of subjectivity with which the duo chronicles Sydney's returning vision occasionally works, but for the most part it qualifies as typical horror-movie style including fuzzy, shifting focus that only clarifies in time for the foley artists to hammer home the fact that we're seeing something terrifying.
Woody Allen's 2004 film Melinda and Melinda reminded audiences that any story can be told from any point of view, no matter what the subject matter. Personally, I think I would have preferred that this film be made almost whimsically, a la a Stranger Than Fiction-type magic realism, as much because it would actually herald a genuine reinterpretation of Asian-horror source material as the fact that the movie sort of already qualifies as an unintentional comedy. There's a moment in the film where Sydney gets in an elevator only to find a floating corpse creeping up behind her, and my first thought was that she would scream, "Oh, come on man!" Will Ferrell-style, confirming her exasperation at both these ghouls and the sad fact that no one believes in them except her.
Unfortunately, that sentiment was one shared only by yours truly as I watched the film. There's just nothing new, remotely original or even really scary about it. Again, it feels like the film wants to explore her situation as if she's coming to terms with a new superpower rather than enduring a series of terrifying visions. Alba is a passable lead actress and she does her best to project the fear and frustration of her newfound condition, but ultimately it isn't she who is subjected to a painful experience, but us. Because The Eye, much like One Missed Call, Pulse and The Grudge before it, may once have been a great horror movie in its native language, in Hollywood's hands, it's little more than a joke -- whether the filmmakers mean for it to be or not. So if you want to watch Asian-inspired horror films, go rent or buy the originals; but keep your eyes closed to this turkey -- unless you enjoy being blinded by boredom.
