Do you imagine Jessica Alba doing Comedy?

LOS ANGELES - In her latest movie, Jessica Alba falls into a penguin pond, stabs Dane Cook with a dental tool and accidentally tears off her skirt by closing it in a car door. Alba plays Cam, a clumsy penguin-keeper who captures Cook's heart in "Good Luck Chuck," in theaters Friday. The role represents a departure for Alba, who gained fame as an action star - first on TV's "Dark Angel," then in films such as "Fantastic Four" and "Sin City." The 26-year-old actress, whose current crop of projects includes a horror film and a romantic comedy with Mike Myers, talked with The Associated Press about her dream career, her love of science and what it's like to be one of the world's sexiest women. ___ AP: What drew you to the role in "Good Luck Chuck"? Alba: I loved that the girl in this film, more than any other film than I had read, certainly in this genre, was doing all the physical comedy. Usually the girl does one trip here or there, right when it's cute, but for the most part it's usually the guy that gets to do all the fun stuff. ... Usually it's not really done. And I liked that she was, you know, the moral center and the good girl. AP: Were you looking for a comedic project? Alba: Yeah, I've always been wanting to do comedy. That's one of the main reasons I got into this business in the first place. I've always loved to make people laugh and it was the way that I sort of broke the ice when I was a kid with my friends. I'd always do little skits or do little things, do anything really, to make people laugh. Oddly, in this business, I never really got a shot at it. I'm not good at the half-hour comedy ba-dum-bump stuff. I'm more into the physical comedy.... |

LOS ANGELES - "Good Luck Chuck" may be a fun film of love and laughter, but co-stars Jessica Alba and Dane Cook felt the painful effects of pushy passion on-set. "During one of the scenes, Jessica and Dane Cook are making out but rather aggressively and they smashed into a wall, which was part of the scene," director Mark Helfrich explained to FOX at the premiere of the romantic comedy on Wednesday. "But they were supposed to disengage from the kiss before they hit the wall - they didn't, so Jessica chipped her front tooth and Dane chipped his bottom tooth." However, when it comes to finding out who is to blame for the savage seduction, the stars themselves have a varied opinion. "She pulled me into the wall," Dane declared. "No, no, no - my head hit the wall, your tooth hit mine," Alba argued. "It was his fault." However, it was Dane who finished the fight. "It was an aggressive scene and there was a choreography thing," Cook said. "When we smashed faces, I immediately knew that it was her fault. They said 'cut' and we had to do it 17 more times." |
She is pregnant! Obviously wasn't planned because she was planning to make her Broadway Premiere this coming summer. I wonder how is this going to affect her image of "sexy symbol".
