Sin City...
By Hollie McKay
She may be bronzed and beautiful, but Jessica Alba doesn’t have a heart of “Honey” to give everyone in Hollywood – especially not the paparazzi.
““I could give two sh*ts about them,” the actress told Parade Magazine. “They’re so lame, I can’t even believe that’s a real job. I can’t imagine they even pay taxes. I never want to be in the papers except when I’m promoting a movie, but if they have to, they’ll make up lies about me just to have something newsworthy to say. The more controversial the story is, the more buzz it can get, and the more it’ll sell.”
But that’s not the only thing that the “Fantastic Four” femme fatale is fired up about.
“I’m in a business that’s completely driven by white males. The majority of the writers and directors are men,” scoffed the sexy starlet. “And even though I’m not, like, such a huge feminist, I do want to produce movies on my own that are female-driven and empowering to women. The woman’s voice really isn’t present in Hollywood.”
And perhaps it would be wise for someone to buy Miss Alba some clearer mirrors, as the glamour girl seems to be slightly disillusioned when it comes to her lush looks.
“Most days, I wake up and look in the mirror and go, ‘ugh,’” she added. “I don’t really think I look all that great.”

I think those looks are what got her this far, but she may start taking on lower paying roles that allow her to show another side. Then I might consider taking her seriously. (She did a fine job in Sin City as a visual distraction though...but was quite bland on Entourage.)
Though I don't really care what actors and actresses do in there off time its hard to ignore all of it when paparrazzi exposure is at humungous proportions.
Scary, she may have a point...even if they do indirectly keep her working.
