Had to share this here, as I know Alba has a ton of fans around these parts, which I find baffling. I think this little excerpt from a review of the MTV awards accurately captures the phenomena surrounding her at the moment:
"Alba, who rose to fame as a genetically enhanced vigilante on TV's Dark Angel, kicked off the evening with a lame skit about her stardom. "Before I begin," she led in, "I just want to address the rumor that I am the most-searched woman on the Internet." Which leads to an overwhelming question: When did everybody—lad mags, women's books, your dad, your nephew—decide that Jessica Alba is really, really hot? It must have something to do with her multiethnic looks, which, as others have suggested about Vin Diesel, allow the ogler to project a wide array of racial fantasies onto her. Or maybe the nation harbors very many suckers for genial women with wet smiles and diligent personal trainers. There are few other explanations; she has no hips and less personality, and her recent work has required her to do little other than gyrate earnestly (Honey), fit into a bikini (Into the Blue), and be game enough to utter the sentence, "The synthetics act as a second skin, adapting to your body's individual needs" (Fantastic Four).....This is what we want from a sex icon? Blankness? Sporty docility?"
I can't be the only one. Thoughts?
Oh, and Kate Beckinsdale is MUCH hotter.
