OlderJessica Alba Is Sweet On Sweden
Jessica Alba finishes up her singing and acting lessons on Tuesday (January 27) in Hollywood, Calif.
The 27-year-old actress took to her MySpace blog to defend herself after making comments when she asked a reporter what characteristic he liked most about new U.S. President Barack Obama. When he refused to answer on the basis that he was a journalist, she joked, “That’s it, be neutral. Be Sweden about it.”
Politically commentator Bill O’Reilly and TMZ then both made fun of Alba, insisting she meant Switzerland, not Sweden.
Alba then responded, “Last week, Mr. Bill O’Reilly and some really classy sites (i.e.TMZ) insinuated I was dumb by claiming Sweden was a neutral country. I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously people…it’s so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland.” Alba then referenced Wikipedia to support her claim.

I don’t know who is right, Alba or O’Reilly…
but
Everyone has heard that expression before, and it’s kind of a popular idea that Sweden generally stays out of wars and conflict and instead focuses on producing affordable furniture, cheesy pop music, and death metal
p.s. Jessica can correct ME anytime :)
Please, Jessica thought she f*cked up, otherwise she wouldn’t have bothered going home and checking her facts (through Wikipedia,lol) then posting them on the net for everyone to see. She meant Switzerland, doesn’t matter that Sweden is a neutral country, the fact is she meant to say Switzerland then panicked when the reporter called her on it. And really, why did she even mention WWII? What the f*ck does that have to do with anything???
she’s ignorant, silly and bitchy, why did she have to say that?
I live in Sweden and its the most neutral country in the world, it has leading negociators because sweden have a very neutral standpoint in every questions
Congratulations, Jessica. Your little rant just proved you are a complete idiot. If you’re so incredibly intelligent, why don’t you go on O’Reilly’s show and debate him and prove him wrong. Now that would be hilarious.
sure, Sweden could be categorized under ‘neutral countries’ be it back then or now… but the country that is the synonym of “neutral” is “Switzerland”. She made a mistake, I think it would have been more appreciated had she just laughed about it and let it go… “oops I made a mistake, oh well… I’m a Hollywood starlet after all.” I would’ve applauded her then.
ok so she may have gotten it right but wikipedia for a resource
rotflol!!!
she should just stop talking
It’s great that Sweden is known for being neutral, but most american’s don’t know that. I doubt very much Alba knows information that most American’s don’t considering she’s usually an ignornat fool on most other things.
She’s entitled to her opinion, but the ego has got to go. And calling O’Reilly an idiot is stupid because, like him or his opinions or not, he’s far more intelligent and educated than she is.
It’s easy to make fun of someone and assume they’re stupid when you’re not them. Jessica is a pretty actress but do you want her to just look pretty and not have an opinion? So the person you should make a statement about is the double face journalist who’s able to ask personal questions from everyone else but he doesn’t have to answer a personal questions himself. Hmmmm…how unfair do you think that is? Besides, would you rather defend Bill O’Reilly?!
actually. sweden was officially neutral during ww2 but we actually helped the germans. we let them pass thorugh sweden during the war. so we weren´t all neutral. its not someting you hear alot about but its true. they teach you that in school here, so, just wanna set the record straight! cause im swedish.
Well, a journalist is paid to ask questions, not answer them…….
She’d come off a lot better just owning up she meant switzerland, but a happy mistake made her still right. She seems completely unaware of how unlikeable she’s coming across.
And I’d defend Bill O’Reilly’s intelligence anyday. You may not like the guy, but he’s smart. A hell of a lot smarter than Alba who takes herself way too seriously.
Actually, I keep hearing about what a ***** she is from multiple people and sources, so her calling anyone an ******* is the pot calling the kettle black.
honestly folks…she had a point nd it was pretty nice joke….i ll use it from now on….Sweden has ALWAYS been neutral…in many cases !!!
I like her better when she keeps her mouth shut. Perhaps, this is the reason why her husband is always fighting the paps off so nobody could find out how stupid she really is once she speaks.
There is nothing honorable about remaining a neutral country when other nations are fighting to keep peace and freedom in this world. TMZ has put on their site: After the war, Winston Churchill referred to Sweden as “that small, coward country.”
I would love to see her have a debate with BIll OReilly or George Bush where she can’t check her wikipedia. seriously, I’m sick of hollywood talking politics. What the hell do they know about the needs of an American while living in their millions $ home off the cliffs of Malibu and dining in the finest restaurants on the hills Jessica Alba can take her neutral flag and shove it up her ****** ASS.
The ignorance of some of the comments are staggering. Sweden declared its neutrality years before Switzerland. Swiss banks readily accepted monies and properties from the Nazis. Perhaps Ms. Alba selected Wikipedia because the attention span of the average human is equivalent to that of a fruit fly and knew that was all some people could handle.

Education is your friend. Don’t be afraid of it and don’t knock someone for trying to attain knowledge. Just stunning.
i love jessica but she honestly needs to shut up
her hotness decreases everytime she talks about politics
ohh yah, she looked cute, love how she matches especially her scarf
and why is she getting signing lessons, i understand the acting ones but singing?
plz jessica dont start singing =[
love u tho!
feel sorry for that husband of hers…just like us, he wishes that she would not open her mouth and just smile and look cute…the backlash has started and by her fighting back makes things even worse for her part…all of us know how stupid you are jessica…u totally wanted to say “switzerland” but made a mistake, which is ok…just own up to it and don’t give us a bs explanation..u lucked out this time but the damage is done…u r gonna be in tom cruise’s shoes with how u are acting right now…take it easy and go away for 10 years
oh and look at her…r we supposed to take u seriously and view you as an intellegent person when u r wearing those ridiculous sunglasses? give us a break…u r not a trendsetter with that f up bangs of yours and your fashion sense….u r sweating it right now with all the backlash and the fact that the scripts have stopped coming in…she turned down a movie because they did not want to pay her $3 million…the suprising thing is how producers actually pay her that amount…give us a break jessica and live in the real world with the rest of us….
Dumb *****! Everyone knows Switzerland and neutrality are synonmymous. That’s not what she meant and she’s now trying to act like she meant to say that… get over yourself and admit that’s what you meant to say!
why can’t she have a voice , she got it right didn’t she, if it was a male celeb it wud b all nodding and agreeing.
Number 40/M: WELL SAID! READ THE LINK YOU IGNORANT SUCKERS!
Not sure why people are attacking her. So what if you think she is snobby and full of herself. Basically she tries to mind her own business and you never heard stories of her being drunk and wild. But she is allowed to have a voice just like everyone of us responding to this is.
Bill O’Reilly is very negative. People who listen to him and think he is a great journalist have small and probably very small and prejudice minds and beliefs. He sits behind a desk and attacks people and issues that aren’t doing anybody any good. This man is a fraud and has found an avenue and forum to make himself a name and get rich. He and Rush Limbaugh are both frauds and I think it’s amusing that people put stock in what they say. Very scary! They are in for the controversy and for the money not for informative journalism.
wow. wikipedia? seriously i’m guessing she didnt study research in college.. oh wait, did she even go to college? what an idiot.. citing wikipedia as a credible and evidence based source.. LOSER
No offense but Wikipedia is not a reliable source, Jessica, if you wanted to make your point across you should of sited history books, certified websites, but NEVER Wikipedia.
First off, Sweden has been neutral in major wars but not in all conflicts, an example would be that Sweden is right now in Afghanistan even though they are not in NATO and in the 1980’s they signed a defense pact with America, Switzerland on the other hand has not participated in any conflicts besides UN peace keeping which involves shooting only in defense but no offense, so she really would have made more sense to use Switzerland and not Sweden and using Sweden being neutral in WW2 doesn’t make her look any less arrogate or full of her own self importance, because there were dozens of countries in Europe and around the world that stayed neutral in WW1 and WW2 and no one looks at them as neutral in all conflicts as they do with Switzerland.
