Jessica Alba was a panelist at “Girls in the Director’s Chair and Women In Film Empower Young Girls to Reach for the Stars” event at the Beverly Hills Wiltshire hotel yesterday. Academy-Award winning Crash producer Cathy Shulman also attended. “Girls in the Director’s Chair” and “Women in Film” are non-profit organizations that seek to encourage and mentor young women in the entertainment industry.

A two-minute short and a public service announcement produced and directed by teens were premiered at the event:

Girl’s in the Director’s Chair was created by Fresh Films, which is sponsoring a national teen filmmaking program that is now accepting applications for its summer program.

Here are photos of Alba on the panel.

We reported yesterday that the rumor that Belinda Carlisle wants Jessica Alba to star in a movie about the Go-Gos is not true.

You’ve probably heard that Alba is still pissed that Playboy didn’t pull the issue that features her on the cover, but dissapointly clothed inside. She hasn’t taken legal action but may be considering it. Part of the reason she’s mad is that she’s supposed to be a born again Christian. I find this hard to believe:

There are tons of pictures of Alba out at parties and shopping. If she was a born again Christian, wouldn’t we see some candids of her outside a church?

It turns out that the story that Belinda Carlisle wants Jessica Alba to star in a movie about her life is just not true:

The Go-Gos are also touring now. Who knew?

Alba revealed recently that does she Tae-Bo to stay in shape, but that it can get smelly at the gym.

To balance out our previous information-filled posts today, we’re also including pictures of Jessica Alba’s jean-clad butt.

Jessica Alba is on the short list for a film about the life of former Go-Gos frontwoman Belinda Carlisle. Carlise is producing the film herself and wants Alba to star in the lead role.

Thanks as usual to the incomparable JJB board for such great pics.

Pictures from what looks like a kinder, gentler after-party, the “Crash” Cool Down Party held on March 6th at the Beverly Towers in LA. It was hosted by director Paul Haggis and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges. Attendees included Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, Julie Delpy, Larenz Tate, Kathleen York (the mom of the redhead that used to be on the OC) and the ubiquitous Bai Ling.

Update: Images removed on request.

Jessica Alba showed off a new tattoo on the base of her neck at the Oscars. Alba, along with her mom and aunt got the tattoos as a “bonding experience”:

It’s nice to see that most celebrities have tattoos, considering that my mom warned after my first tattoo that laser removal surgery was painful and expensive. (Plastic surgery is painful and expensive too, but I never heard her complaining about that.)

What’s a ladybird? It looks like some kind of Japanese character. Can anyone confirm this?
