OlderJessica Alba Mixes In With Asians, South Americans
Jessica Alba poses with several up and coming designers in the latest issue of Elle, including Joseph Altazurra (pictured), Rad Hourani, Frank Tell, Julian Louie and Jason Wu. The 27-year-old actress discusses motherhood, her exotic look and separation anxiety.
On giving birth: “Contractions aren’t that bad. If you’ve ever had bad cramps? That’s what they’re like. But that moment when they put the baby on your chest – that’s deep. It’s a deep experience.”
On snapping back into shape so quickly after giving birth: “I did it for the Campari job. [The workouts] were horrible. I cried. And I haven’t worked out since.”
Her secret to looking slim after giving birth: “I wore a girdle. Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist – any kind of band or girdle works. She was like, ‘I slept in it.’ I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a six-pack – that’s just not my body at all.”
On having an exotic look: “Anyone who’s part of pop culture is going to be sensationalized and spun into something, some one-liner. Also, there aren’t many other stars, besides Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez, who most people in the world can related to. We look like people of the world – I can kind of mix in with girls in Asia, South America, Europe.”

Sorry, I have a high tolerance for pain, and contractions are way worse than just bad cramps.
i totally hate her…she thinks she’s above the rest of us by saying contractions were not that bad and described chidlbirth as zen…I too have a high tolerance for pain and tell u what, contractions were the most painful experience ever….I hope that Horror’s big head ripped her vajayjay apart…oh by the way, her looks are not exotic…i’ve seen women everyday walking on the streets of LA with more exotic looks than her
What a delusion *****. Umm giving birth is like bad cramps? Is she stupid?? I broke my pelvis in a car accident when I was 19 and thought that was the worst pain in the world, but giving birth is mucchhhh worse. It’s different for every woman so she should of said “well for me…”, but of course she blows it off like it’s no big deal for everyone.
Ugh can’t stand her.
And I’m so tired of these actresses talking about how quickly they got back in shape after they gave birth. Of course you did! You’re rich and have all the time in the world to exercise because a nanny is raising your child. Just keep your mouths shut, ugh.
Oh, so now she wants people around the world to “relate” to her, while only two years ago she had nothing but disparaging things to say about her Latin heritage (and Mexicans) to Para Todos magazine (Well, logic dictates that she MEANT “around” the world, but she is so inarticulate that she SAID “in” the world). Why can’t someone just put a muzzle on her before she embarrasses herself yet again? Her idiotic remarks are becoming a daily occurrence.

Jessica Alba doesn’t have an exotic look. She’s insanely BORING.
She sounds really stupid. She has irrelevant opinions…but who cares to hear what “Jesisca Alba” thinks….I mean really.
she is an idiot.
Why is she comparing herself to Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez?
Exotic, my foot. She built a career on being ogled by pervs and old men but is no more exotic than one of the Golden Girls. She is a doughy face, a boxy nose and a blah smile. There are new girls on the block now so the pervs and old men have moved on. Go away, Jessica Alba, and have 2 or 3 more babies.
Actually, bad cramps is different for people. Some can handle it, some don’t even experience it but there’s some where it’s sooo bad, they actually go to hospitals for it. A friend of mine was like that. Luckily for her, it lessened a little. It’s still bad, but she doesn’t have to go to hospitals for it anymore. As for me, it’s not bad at all, but I know that my sister has to take medicine for it whenever she gets it, and sometimes misses schools for it. So really…everyone is just different.
So who knows? None of us know Jessica’s ‘bad cramps’. For all we know, her case might be in the worse situation.
Anyways, getting back to the picture. She looks lovely.
Filling a salt shaker is a deep experience to this dolt.
Possibly the stupidest human in Hollywood
I like Jess she’s great & she;s right about her look
i’m think obsessed with her, i have dreams about her sometimes haha. she is so pretty =) i wonder what all these girls on here look like.
Halle Berry is damn hot and gorgeous.
Jennifer Lopez is sexy and well, super cute.
Jessica was kinda hot before……now……errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
By the way, Halle Berry’s stunning-looking daughter Nahla looks EXOTIC………not Jessica. Get your eyes checked. I guess I do look more exotic than Jessica actually. XD
Stupid!!! Contractions are not like bad cramps! I was in labor with both of my children for at least 20 hours and it hurt, it hurt, no drugs, just unbelievable pain. She should just shut the eff up.
She is a moron. My contractions hurt like hell. It was so bad that i couldn’t cry and wanted the baby out of me asap. She should stop romanticizing about giving birth. It’s nothing like the worse cramp that you’ve ever had. It’s a 100 times worse. Biotch probably had an epidural and now is pretending she didn’t so she can brag about how brave she was and how it was nothing.
She does not look exotic. She looks like any other girl, esp. she she does not have makeup on.
ehhh i dont really agree with anything see says here
she sounds really fake tbh
but whatever i still like her
Look at all these people dissing her. Just because she doesn’t dye her black to make her green eyes look more “exotic”?
And she’s right, contractions are like really bad cramps and you don’t even feel anything once the medicine comes. Women exaggerate the pain.
Jess is average..but i congradulate her on getting back into such amazing shape.
Jess “Don’t call me latina” Abla, exotic? Hahahaha!
She’s more white than Jennifer Aniston.
She is such a hypocrite, she denounced her
latin heritage but as soon a Cash Warren
knocks her up all of sudden she cares about it.
there are better actresses for people to idolize
than this idiot.
wow ******* haterssss, HAVE YOU PHSYCHOTIC WOMEN EVER HAD BAD CRAMPS? YES THEY ARE HORRIBLE so she can compare HER LABOR PAIN to bad cramps, IT’S HER BODY she know WHAT SHE FEELS, NOT YOU *******.
What I am most surprised at & at the same time kind of saddened by is the fact that most of the women that post her are mothers which means that most of you are grown women, yes behave so immature & judgemental towards someone you don’t even know.

I have endometriosis and my cramps feel as painful as child birth. I’ve been hospitalised for them. I’ve also had several miscarriages which felt similar as well. Everyone’s different.
gosh..peeps, u hate too much give ha a break..its her expirience…mine is worse though, i have really bad cramps and i sometimes pass out from the pain….so no one knows how her cramps are..lets not be too hasty to judge now..
