Jessica Alba has a new movie out which is scary, so she has to share a scary story on her press junket. Normally these are kind of lame, but this one actually is truly scary.

Alba, 26, recalled: “I had no idea what it was. I felt this pressure and I couldn’t get up, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t do anything.

“Something definitely took the covers off me and I definitely couldn’t get off the bed, and then, once I did, I screamed, ran to my parents’ room and I don’t think I spent many nights in that house ever again!

“There was definitely something in my parents’ old house - I don’t know what it was. I can’t really explain it. But they got it blessed and they burned sage and stuff since then.”

Burning sage protects from ghosts? What?

I think everyone on earth has a ghost story to share, because we all think we feel or see something in the night at least once. Of course, the protection you normally seek out when too old to run to your parents room (is 17 too old?) is to hide under the covers. Which is ridiculous – how is a sheet going to stop a ghost when they are known to able to pass through walls? Or an axe murderer with an, er, axe? Yeah, that sheet just stops you from seeing what is going to get you. Good night, sleep tight readers…

Jessica also says that pregnancy is playing havoc with her hormones. My father-in-law likes to point out about every other week that if you weren’t pregnant all those hormones in your system would kill you. I have no idea if it’s true, but I kind of believe it.

“I think I threw him (boyfriend Cash Warren) out of the house twice already since I’ve been pregnant. He’s like, ‘Are you just pregnant? I hope you’re just pregnant and acting crazy,’ and I’m like, ‘It has nothing to do with that,’” the ‘Fantastic Four’ actress says.

“Little things make me so mad. He calls five minutes later than he said he was going to. You get so emotional when you’re pregnant, and so irrational. It’s totally dumb.”

You know, Jessica seems to be putting a lot down to hormones, could it be possible that her relationship isn’t as sunny as she pretends. After all, she and Cash did break up just before her pregnancy, and I don’t hear him blabbing to all who will listen about his pregnancy joy and how great her new boobs are. Also, don’t kick him out to often – living with a rampaging crazy pregnant woman might just be enough to make him not want to come back.

Jessica had a baby shower, hosted by Tyra Banks on her talk show. If she’s not careful we’re all going to be tired of this pregnancy before she has a chance to sell the baby photos.
