Let’s talk Jessica Alba..

• October 1, 2008

Jessica Alba was spotted getting herself a coffee from Starbucks and who doesn’t need a fix for caffeine. There is nothing too exciting about that, except for the obvious fact it’s Jessica Alba.Â I did read a few interesting facts about her that I didn’t know, and thought I would share..Â Wikidedia says:

Alba’s early life was marked by a multitude of physical maladies; she suffered collapsed lungs twice, had pneumonia 4-5 times a year, a ruptured appendix, and a cyst on her tonsils.

She has also acknowledged suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder during childhood.

I would guess that after being so sick all the time, she would wash her hands over and over.. That would also explain why she is had the first time mom jitters.

Alba was raised as a Roman Catholic and still considers herself “spiritual“. In her adolescence, she became a born-again Christian, but left the church after four years because she felt she was being judged for her appearance, explaining:

Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn’t. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman.

I thought it was little boys that the Roman Catholic Chuch liked..Â Who knew?..

On the cover of the March 2006 issue, Playboy magazine named Alba among its 25 Sexiest Celebrities, and the Sex Star of the Year. Alba was involved in litigation against Playboy for its use of her image (from a promotional shot for Into the Blue) without her consent. However, she later dropped the lawsuit after receiving a personal apology from Playboy owner Hugh Hefner, who agreed to make donations to two charities that Alba has supported.

And lastly a few more facts.. In 2006, readers of Askmen voted Alba No. 1 on 99 Most Desirable Women,while in 2007, Maxim Magazine placed Alba on the number 2 spot of their “Top 100″, after Lindsay Lohan.Both GQ and In Style had Alba on their June covers, and in May, after eight million votes, FHM (UK and USA editions) named Alba the winner as “2007â€™s Sexiest Woman in the World”.Alba continues to be regarded as one of the world’s most attractive women, being named to Maxim’s Hot 100 in 2008.
