JESSICA ALBA SAYS “LOTS OF MONEY” MAKES HER HAPPY!

Posted by Adam

Friday February 12, 2010

JESSICA Alba makes loads more money than use mere mortals.

And she’s not afraid to remind us of that fact!

The actress says the best thing about being famous is, “making lots of money has made me happy.”

“No one else helped me — I’ve done this all by my self, on my own terms,” she said. “My dad’s also turned his real-estate business around and doing really well, and my brother acts, models and does mortgages, so we’ve all come up in the world. Anyone out there who gets bullied should realize that they can take control of their lives and succeed.”

Speaking to the UK’s Scarlet magazine, Alba — who stars in the brilliant new movie Valentine’s Day — opened up about a number of different subjects, including her perfect man.

“I go for a shy, nerdy type of guy, and I always prefer older men,” said Alba, who raises daughter Honor with husband Cash Warren. “I’m pretty wary of really good-looking guys and actually, as an actress, you work with so many men, you become completely immune. Deep down it’s probably because they were always the ones who ignored me when I was younger. I feel much more at home with normal, regular guys. Older men are much more comfortable within their skin and are out to prove less”.

On doing a nude scene: “No, I’ll never do a nude scene. I can act sexy and wear sexy clothes but I can’t go naked. I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed, and I remember my grandmother would freak out and throw a towel over me if she saw me wearing just a bra and panties. I come from a very Catholic family so it wasn’t seen as a good thing to flaunt yourself like that. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off”.

Easy to say she did it all by herself when she is considered attractive. Without her looks she has no career. Kinda like Michael Jordan saying his hardwork made him successful and not his talent. Alba is not talented, she is pretty. She’s no Meryl or Portman for that matter.
HimThemThere
GOOD FOR HER ……. but let’s remember – SHE IS PRETTY. And it’s not that easy for a female half her beauty. Don’t get me wrong – she can act … just sayin’ that if she messed up a line then who’d care – she’s a sexxy eye piece. The Roseanne’s , Rosie O’donells, Meryl Strep, etc ….. NOW THOSE ARE HARD WORKS !!!!! Even though i’m a Jessica fan – its 35% work / 65% beauty ……. but i can live with that !!!!!

To bryant:wow are you really tryen to put race as a factor . stop. im white and i think she can act, she gets parts , and is stunning. in case you havent noticed its not about race . that is a VERY racists thing to say that because camron is “white” she gets more parts! you should be ashamed, stop playing the victim, who cares what color someone is!! you’re saying why ppl talk about her acting is because white ppl wont let be better .im i right? haha
so just stop with that!

Bryant
Yeah your wrong about both of the things you said first off Jessica Alba has a passsion for acting she’s always been interested in acting since a young age, you might say she can’t act but trust there’s plenty of other actresses that are worse than her. She’s had to overcome always receiving limited roles because of her being Hispanic and the color of her skin and lack of colored eyes unlike Cameron Diaz. And to talk about Michael Jordan like that doesn’t make any sense at all MJ worked hard to become good at basketball real hard. He didn’t even make the basketball team til his senior year and he made varsity not to mention he took pressure from his dad to play baseball since his dad did.

Well, I really liked her– until this article. How stuck up is she? She’s not only beautiful- she’s the most physically beautiful person ever created. That’s why she’s been successful – period. Also, the “brilliant” movie, “Valentine’s Day,” is the worst piece of garbage ever created– since “The Love Guru-” Jessica’s last bomb!

Shut up, Bryant! Kissing up to her will not get you in her pants, asswipe! This bitch should shut her mouth and just look pretty because she will be a has-been soon. After her looks are gone she will disappear from our sight!
Eddie
I gotta agree. Jessica Alba is the most beautiful woman. Her being beautiful has increased her calls for getting roles in movies. She’s an average actress, but, her being easy on the eyes has definitely given her a huge advantage over your average person being bullied in this world in their profession.

“Ohhh look at me I am a rich beautiful actress and money makes me happy.” Too bad actresses like Jessica just focus on money and their looks. The best things in life don’t involve money.

I would love to get to know you beeter as i am looking for a very sweet,kind hearted,honest and faithful woman for marriage,kids………..

Bryant: Is that why Alba dyed her hair blond so she could “fit in” with white Hollywood? Give me a break. There’s a tidal wave coming across the Mexican border! It’s 2010 not 1910 where women and minorities didn’t have rights.
I think it’s really sad that she states money makes her happy. how about doing something with your loads of money Alba! Take a look at Brad and Angie!
parisgirl
Did she ever read the Biblia? it says that after the pride comes the fall, what an idiot I’m very rich myself and money is just a tool, she probably was dirt poor and got lucky , and that is why she feels that way, how sad to be so shallow, if she gets cancer to see if she feel the same way, lets see how long she last.

I have to agree…Up until this interview I really don’t care for her now. Money does not buy you happiness and since you have all that money, have you taken the time to donate any of it to the people in the world that really need it, like Haiti??? I doubt it!!! Also the only reason I’m sure she goes for the nerdy not so good looking guys is because she does not want her man to be better looking than she is and that is a sign of her being insecure!!!
Aintee
HAHAHAHA! Most of the douchebags in entertainment have some sort of complex. They’re the ones saying “Hey! Over here! Look at me! Look! Look at what I can do. And give me money for it. Lots!”
Not saying all of them, just a lot.
Gogo
Food- paid for it – with money
Apartment – paid for it – with money
Car – paid for it – with money
Vacation – paid for it – with money
and
Sex – paid for it – with money
Damn, the woman is right! Money makes me happy too!
tiffster
For a of you criticizing her for her comment that lots of money makes her happy are haters! You all are just jealous! At least she’s not some home-wrecka ho getting arrested and drunk every damn night! Yeah her last movies kinds sucked, but she is still the DARK ANGEL! Besides, don’t lie,

hope she has enough 4 eternity

not a big fan, but lets face it, until she met a man named Cash,no one else was going to pay her bills. She could have been An SSI bunny with 5 kids she couldn’t afford. Hell- looks, money, connections-we all use them or would use them if possible. Not screwed up like Lindsey L or a totally talentless like Paris H, She’s earned her place in hollywood.
rae
it is not how much u have itis how&what u do with it

Hmm, I agree on one thing up front… a famous and beautiful woman like Jessica Alba speaking on money does not seem appropriate BUT actually it is the ones that NEVER admit it so candidly yet always flash it and attitude it publicly yet stay MUM as to what they really appreciate….. MONEY! These mum ones are the ones we all think most about when it comes to the beauty plus advantageous money premadonnas. Hmm, I am feeling darn good about her honesty and HECK – she loves money, feels like she really earned it in her profession. Surely she is tops in beauty but she is also Hollywood beauty and actually admits to the love of money. I say wow. She is MY favorite Pamona, Ca. girl for sure.
rae
love of money isnt what make me happy but i do like what it can do alot mybe that is what she not love
jmh
Wow! I think her statement of money is incredibly shallow. Most of her peers are humble about what they make. lets get this straight. She has money because she’s a hot piece of azz. Its certainly not her acting skills. Im much more inclined to watch Julia Roberts, Kate beckinsale etc..who are also pretty and dont flaunt their wealth..What has Alba been in thats been worth a crap?
james phillips
She s very smart and a real talent. she has earned her way and she speaks from the heart. and any one who has something bad to say about her its because they are low life s and jelouse
Ron
Can’t believe she said these things. To borderline brag about the money when people everywhere are suffering horribly financially thanks to this miserable government, and to say much of anything outside of her looks got her to where she is, is a joke. Have always liked her, but she’s made stupid comments before (a political one a couple years ago that was SO ignorant), why the hell can’t they just keep their mouth’s shut? Don’t they realize they lose respect and admirers by the thousands when they speak?

My name is Jessica Alba. I make a lot of money now, you probably do not. I like having a lot of money. Sorry you don’t have the kind of money I do. My family has a ton of money too. Too bad for you. My great looks are what got me here. But…No one else helped me, I was born this way. I’m one of the best looking women in Hollywood, with no real talent to speak of. Average at best actress. But I make a lot of money now, thanks to being born looking like this, and that makes me happy. I was born great looking. I now have lots of money because of it. These things make me happy.

you are my besst Jessica alba la star jessica

I am not sure how to respond to her comments. I do have to say, at least she is being somewhat honest about her life. I think that she is a good actress though I have not seen all of her movies. Like most actors and actresses, she is not above having either a bad role or be in a bad movie or just plain bad acting. Hollywoods finest are certainly not perfect and they are as we are, ‘human beings’. Unless you walk a mile in someones shoes, you know the cliche’. But it is true, how would you be if you were,’in their shoes’? It is alot easier to say from the outside looking in. God bless.

What is with you people? And i’m not addressing the posts riddled with typos because i don’t even know what you’re saying. However, the rest of you obsessed with celebrities…i’ve always wondered about you and what it would be like to meet somebody with such a bizarre mental focus but came to the realization most of you spend a lot of time reclusive in your homes. I’ve read the most bizarre things on celebrities blogs that i occasionally check out such sites when i come across them reading other news, actual, important news. There’s always a few brilliant minds trying to convince everybody else that such and such is the most beautiful person on earth ect when they haven’t lived outside their house enough to realize that beauty is a subjective topic. Movies are a subjective topic. Pizza is a subjective topic. I had a friend once call me weird for not liking pizza. I told him that it’s greasy, sits heavy in my stomach and i feel sick after eating it..but, if you love pizza than go eat it till your fat. It’s an opinion. It’s your individual taste. As far as jessica alba goes, yes she is beautiful. But, i think meagan fox is way prettier. Key word here is i think. I don’t force my opinions on other people. In fact, if i really want to act like most of you i would say…i don’t even think jessica alba is all that without makeup and meagan fox is, meagan fox is all that and more. But i don’t say that because it’s just my opinion, i’ve met people who don’t agree with me. But i’m really worried about you fellow humans, you need to leave your house. There lot’s of hot girls out there that you can actually see in person, it’s kind of cool. Anyway, these people are entertainers. And entertainment is not the be all end all of existence. In fact, if the whole industry collapsed tommorrow..not only would the world go on but it will prosper. There are much more important things to focus on that are not only more important and necessary, but a lot more valuable to get involved with. But they involve logic. That’s what it is, i like things that are logical and valuable to the world as we know it like economics and business, space travel and international affairs. They require a deeper level of thinking which i get more out of than mindless bickering over which actress is hotter, who said what, who cares? The entertainment actors provide is a luxury we all enjoy but their ability and movies they make are subjective topics that you can argue you about all night and accomplish nothing even by winning. It’s pointless. See you next year. Maybe there will be less of you here.

“JESSICA Alba makes loads more money than ‘use’ mere mortals.”
Will the moron that wrote this article correct the grammatical error in your first sentence. For Christ sake, what’s the world of journalism coming to?
Rick The Explorer
If you live 90 years, you live only 31,000 days, give or take. In my life, I won’t see Mrs. Alba’s money. It would make me happy if I did.
Mrs. Alba was great in “Dark Angel” – it was her best work. A standard photo shoot pays $40-120k, depending on the star/or magazine. I imagine she makes far more at her photo shoots.
She is not lying. She is Catholic, and lying is frowned upon. If you had money, no debt, no credit cards, no mortgage, and still be able to buy stuff, you would be happy too. It’s a non-issue.
This was small talk with a reporter she never met before. What would Jessica Alba have to say in an interview, anyway? She gets paid for posing and acting, and showing up at venues.
This article never should have been published, and that “use mere mortals” is not only a stupid thought, it is incorrect use of english. This my friends, is what they call the tabloids. You don’t what to know how low the human race is devolving.
Just try to find something better to read.
