Jessica Alba's Mexican Standoff

Mamacita-to-be Jessica Alba was totally mum when a photog yelled at her in Spanish, asking if she was embarrassed about her Mexican roots on Thursday. No habla espanol o ingles!


After Senorita Alba, who has Mexican, French and Danish roots, made controversial statements about her Mexican ethnicity and upbringing, reports claimed she was ashamed of her Hispanic heritage.

Alba, a "third-generation American," currently graces the cover of Latina magazine -- where she addresses the "haters."

66. She screwed herself! I along with many others from CHICAGO, boycott any project or promotions she is associated with. That includes the LATINA magazine. I am a pround HISPANIC female who would not give one penny to this B*#*&.

67. She's a bitch! I don't mean she needs to declare she's latina or whatever; but it does sound like she's bothered by people thinking she's latina. It sounds like she has a little bit of prejudice against hispanics. I hate any type of prejudice. I'm not hispanic, but I look hispanic, so almost everywhere I go people consider me hispanic. To me, it doesn't matter. Why would I be bothered? What bothers me the most though it's just her long face everywhere she goes. The girl is never happy. Hopefully that baby is gonna put a smile on her face some day.

68. Maybe she wants to "embrace" her French or Dutch heritage.
But I think she is doing the most important thing and that is being an AMERICAN. I don't call myself, a mexican, irish, welch, dutch and english American - just AMERICAN.

71. This is the typical child of mexican americans who are taught to deny their roots in order to better "fit in" to our society. Trust me, I lived in Central California for 10 years and was perpetually disgusted by these type of people who deny their hispanic heritage. Who do you think you're fooling by "pretending" not to be hispanic. Mexicans are mostly indian anyway so I guess they can deny being hispanic. (LOL) I'm a "third generation" Cuban American that speaks Spanish and I am very proud of my heritage. This girl is only a product of her environment which is very common in the Mexican culture. They want to forget their country. Can't say I blame them. But, Latina Magazine should be ashamed to put Alba on the cover. She is NOT representative of a Latina actress.

Alba admitted she was unhappy with the outcome of her latest movie Good Luck Chuck, which was critically panned upon its release late last year.

She said: “It’s porn… It wasn’t supposed to be like that.”

Despite being cast in a string of sexy roles, including stripper Nancy Callaghan in Sin City, Alba wants to be remembered for her acting and business skills, instead of her body.

She said: “I think there are ambitious girls who will do anything to be famous.

“Contrary to how people may feel, I’ve never used my sexuality. That’s not part of it for me. ===== UH HUH.

74. “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 Wal-Mart for five hours. It was like, ‘Yea Wal-Mart!’”


what the hell? I lived in albuquerque for 7 years… there’s hiking, the academy, the tramway, not to mention an hour away is santa fe, wineries… and there’s garduno’s, plus a multitude of private high end restaurants…. I guess good restaurants must be chains and in that case all that she must recognize is wal-mart…wow i guess she must be the only celebrity missing out.. since JULIA ROBERTS does live there.
