Jessica Alba Look at me

Why has Jessica Alba made another Fantastic Four movie? Is Jessica Alba still The It Girl? Can The It Girl carry a movie? And why didn't the hordes who worship her online buy tickets to her bomb, Into the Blue?

But 1st things 1st. She has just turned 26, so here's a box of semi-expensive chocolates to mark the occasion. Jessica Alba is surprised, elated. And does Jessica Alba plan to share them? "No way."

So, 26. It sounds young but in Hollywood terms She is now officially...

"In my late 20s!" Jessica Alba quips.

How about "old"?

"I don't know. Really? In Hollywood terms?"

You tell us. You're The It Girl.

"I think if you're a model, yeah, 26 is old. But if you're an actress you can really do it for as long as you want to."

And Jessica Alba wants to.

After treading water in TV guest spots and forgettable films such as Idle Hands and Never Been Kissed, Alba 1st hit big in 2000 as the star of the sci-fi TV series, Dark Angel. This led to two successful films, Sin City (2005), in which Jessica Alba played an erotic dancer with a heart of gold and Honey (2003), in which Jessica Alba played a dance choreographer with a heart of gold. Both films bolstered her box-office appeal and her reputation for being the new millennium's reigning "hot" girl.

Jessica Alba let all this get to her head, Jessica Alba admits but in the right way. When She made the 1st Fantastic Four movie 2 years ago, Jessica Alba wasn't doing it for the art. Jessica Alba was consciously capitalising on her Dark Angel and film success. Jessica Alba knew that being part of a hit movie franchise would give her the leverage she needed to start doing films where being the Hottest Girl on Earth didn't matter so much.



And the film seemed scientifically designed to serve her. Made by Fox, it took two other stars from hit Fox TV shows (Michael Chiklis from The Shield, Julian McMahon from Nip/Tuck) and used the film to turn them into big film stars.

So, did Fantastic Four do its job?

"Absolutely," says Alba, beaming. "A movie making over $100 million at the box office does nothing but open doors wide. A lot of people in the business will just read a headline and not necessarily see a movie, or if they do they don't really have creative opinion of it. A lot of what happens depends on 'the buzz' around somebody, and the thing that drives buzz is box office.
