Jessica Alba has been one of the most glamorous and demure young actresses of Hollywood. But recently the star has revealed that in reality she is something of a boor.
The Fantastic 4 star stepped out on the red carpet wearing a short silver Prada dress for the LA premiere of her new comedy Good Luck Chuck. Along with Jessica US comedian Dane Cook stars in the movie. Alba also said that she adored working with Cook.
The movie involved quite a bit of physical comedy between the pair, and Jessica told reporters she didn’t escape filming unharmed.
During the movie Alba was injured quite a lot. It seems that while shooting for a love sequence her tooth was chipped out because of Dane. In an interview she also spoke about how she is prone to getting hurt. Looks like, this happens quite often.
The actress confesses that her clumsiness is a bit of a shock to most people: “Yes, I’m not the most coordinated girl on the block - it’s all pretend when I’m the superhero”

Brad Pitt is taking his fight out of the club and into the field of the jail cell. The43-year-old Hollywood tough guy is in talks to play a dishonored boxer who turns his life around in time to guide his half-brother in his mission for a light-welterweight world title in the true-life drama ‘The Fighter’.
Mark Wahlberg will play homeland hero “Irish” Micky Ward, while Pitt would play Dickie Ecklund, Ward’s elder sibling. The character of Pitt is that of a talented fighter who once gave Sugar Ray Leonard a run for his title money but instead ended up in prison.
Ward never won a world title from his sports top four organizations. But he was a inconsistent fan favorite who earned both a World Boxing Union Intercontinental Light Welterweight title and the WBU Light Welterweight title on his way to a 38-13 lifetime win-loss record. Three of his fights were christened as ‘Fight of the Year’ by Ring Magazine.
Pitt recently signed on to reteam with his Fight Club twin Edward Norton in the political Thriller ‘State of Play’, which is headed for wide release on Friday in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Pitt plays the infamous outlaw and Casey Affleck plays the resentful follower who shoots him in the back.
This role got Pitt the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.

On Monday, a judge passed a verdict that Britney would have to undergo drug tests twice a week to prove herself as a good mother. To add to this the troubled star is expected to meet a ‘parenting coach’ for eight hours a week.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon said the 25-year-old singer showed “a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol”.
During the court hearing, Britney’s ex- bodyguard stated in legal papers that she took drugs in front of Sean and Jayden.

We don’t know how Tom Cruise is going to take this news, but the Hollywood superstar has been voted the world’s sexiest ‘small man’ in an online survey. Tom was always very conscious about his height and this news will definitely shake him.
Tom, who is 5’ 7’’, is shorter than his wife Katie Holmes and ex-wife Nicole Kidman. Rumor has it that, Tom never allowed Kidman to wear heels because she is 5’ 11”.
After their divorce, Kidman had joked, saying “Now, I can wear heels”.
But, the good news for Tom is that the top 10 sexiest small males include Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton and English football star Michael Owen.
Tom Cruise is one of highest paid actors in the world today, but his original plan was to be a priest.

March 2002. It is rumored that Timberlake’s bitter break-up song, “Cry Me a River,” was written about Spears.
He said “I haven’t spoken to her in years. There’s no ill will. I have nothing but love for her”.
In the past year, Britney has shaved her head, assaulted photographers with an umbrella and given a widely scorned performance at the MTV Music Video Awards.
Producer Timbaland — who has enjoyed several hit singles with Timberlake, including “Cry Me a River” said that he will not work with Spears again because she has been acting “big-headed.”
Spears is at present fighting for custody of her two sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
