Alba Learns She's European

3 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Sexy Latina Jessica Alba was left shocked and stunned on U.S. TV on Tuesday night when she learned she's more European than native American.

The Fantastic Four star agreed to take a DNA test prior to her appearance on comedian George Lopez's late-night show, and felt sure genealogy experts would discover her ancestors were more indigenous American than any other group.

Lopez sent his guest's saliva swab off to the DNA Diagnostics Center in Cincinnati, Ohio - and revealed the results during Alba's appearance.

He told the actress, "You are 13 per cent indigenous American and you are 87 per cent European."

A shocked Alba responded, "Really? Wow!"

With her mother and father watching from the studio audience, the actress added, "That's crazy... Does Spain count, because Alba comes from Spain...? Is Spain Latina?"

Lopez agreed to hand over all the DNA test results in private, so Alba, whose mother is French and Danish, could learn more about her genealogy.

Last month, Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David agreed to hand over his DNA for testing prior to an appearance on Lopez Tonight - and he discovered he is partially native American. »

Lindsay Lohan changed her outfit a bit on the plane before arriving back at Lax last night from her long Thanksgiving weekend with family in New York.

LL also spent an evening checking out a burlesque show with friends, staying away from any alcohol the whole time. She might not be able lay low for much longer, since this week's edition of Us has an interesting headline linking LL to her Machete costar, Jessica Alba's husband Cash Warren.

3 chances at the next From Justin to Kelly

30 November 2009 12:58 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

In what seemed like perfect synergy to the creators of American Idol, six years ago the winner and runner up of the series teamed in a feature called From Justin to Kelly. The plan was to get the public who had voted so passionately to crown the winner of the reality TV show to part with more of their dollars to see a cinematic romp starring two fresh new talents. This, however, never transpired. The film was a dreadful flop both commercially and critically; the project was awarded a Golden Raspberry for “Worst ‘Musical’ of Our First 25 Years” and widely considered one of the worst features ever committed to celluloid. Unsurprisingly the concept of creating cinematic cross-overs with reality TV contestants lay dormant for the next few years. In the past few weeks this trend has been reversed with rumours of up to three new films based on British reality TV stars emerging. »

Jcvd Director Adapts Graphic Novel The Insiders; Jessica Alba Still Attached

30 November 2009 11:19 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Back in June, we told you that Robert Rodriguez and Jessica Alba had optioned The Insiders, a French spy thriller comic book series featuring a female lead character that definitely harkens back to Alba's career-originating turn on the series Dark Angel. At that point the whole thing was just a rights option with Rodriguez set to produce. Now there's a director, and one that makes the whole package a little more intriguing: Jcvd helmer Mabrouk el Mechri. Pajiba reports that el Mechri is on board -- what, you thought there was ever a chance that Rodriguez would direct this one? Expect to see a lot more of this sort of producer action from the guy, especially if Predators does well. He's very much in a position to transition into the sort of producer that can enable less-established directors who do interesting or fan-pleasing work. Jcvd was most definitely fan-pleasing. I »

The Return of Jessica Alba?

30 November 2009 10:32 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Sure, some would suggest that Jessica Alba really can't return to form since there never was a form to begin with. But there definitely was a time when Alba was an "It" girl -- the type to grace numerous magazine covers and star in big, flashy films like Sin City and The Fantastic Four. But then her star began to fade as she clumsily starred in one cruddy flick after another (Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck, The Eye, Awake, The Love Guru), and with other, more sensational young actresses attempting to make their mark in Hollywood, Alba sort of fell by the wayside.

But now the gal has positioned herself with a few pretty interesting upcoming projects, including two produced by Robert Rodriguez (Machete, The Insiders), one that's based on a very good novel (An Invisible Sign of My Own) and one that finds the actress taking things farther »

Los Angeles — These days, the eyes of Hollywood are upon the "New Moon" stars as they move out of their comfort zones and select non-"Saga" film projects. And few are more intriguing than Taylor Lautner's upcoming movie "Valentine's Day," which has the young heartthrob appearing opposite rumored girlfriend Taylor Swift in a subplot that revolves around them mostly, well, swapping spit.

"They just had to make out," grinned one of their co-stars, Emma Roberts, as she recently remembered a day watching the two young superstars filming the movie. "That's all I saw."

Hoping to be next year's "He's Just Not That Into You," the star-studded romantic flick features everyone from Anne Hathaway to Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner to Jamie Foxx, »

Predictions 2010 Sundance Film Festival: Agrelo, D'Arienzo, Gibney

What do docs The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters and Mad Hat Ballroom have in common? Both films received their world premiere in Park City, but not at Redford's festival but the other main street venue the hosts Slamdance.

Jessica Alba To Star In Comic Adaptation The Insiders

26 November 2009 2:08 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

After a slew of bad films like The Eye, Awake and The Love Guru, you.d think Jessica Alba would opt to lay low for a bit. I.m not talking off the radar low, but at least out of the spotlight where she can hone her acting skills and establish some sort of positive reputation. Apparently nobody has given her any advice along these lines, because Alba is picking up projects left and right. There.s the third Meet the Parents film, The Killer Inside Me, An Invisible Sign of My Own and, the newest addition, The Insiders. According to ICv2 (via Pajiba), Alba nabbed the rights to bring the Belgian graphic novel series The Insiders to life. Don.t worry, Alba isn.t taking this project on solo, she.s actually in good company with her Sin City director, Robert Rodriguez. Mabrouk el Mechri (Jcvd) will direct and »

Jessica Alba Joins The Insiders

26 November 2009 5:45 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Have you heard of Najah Cruz? Apparently she is…

“A Columbian that is as deadly as she is beautiful. She has the weapons expertise and combat skills of a James Bond. At the secret request of the White House she infiltrates a worldwide mafia-like organization composed of businessmen and politicians and becomes the bodyguard of the organization’s leader.”

The Insiders is based on a series of Belgian graphic novels and now has Jessica Alba set to star. The film will be directed by Mabrouk el Mechri, who we last saw directing Jean-Claude Van Damme. Now Jcvd was excellent and if Mechri is good enough to make Van Damme look like a decent actor then he could probably do anything.

Attached to produce is Robert Rodriguez so expect stylish action a-plenty. Hopefully it won’t be a dud like so many action movies tend to be these days.

Jessica Alba lands another comic book adap

26 November 2009 1:30 AM, PST | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »

  After headlining Sin City and The Fantastic Four, Jessica Alba's just signed for The Insiders, the big-screen version of another comic series - this time one from, er, Belgium. Okay, so the phrase 'Belgian comic series' isn't exactly the sexiest selling point (no, not even when it's Tintin), but there's obviously something special about publisher Dargaud's illustrated adventuring, seeing as Alba stumped up a big chunk of the money herself to buy the rights. And the blurb certainly sounds interesting, with the film focusing on...

Jessica Alba Tackles Action Role in 'The Insiders'

25 November 2009 11:03 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

If you've had a chance to watch the grueling promo trailer for The Killer Inside Me, you know already that it's potenially the riskiest role of Jessica Alba's none-too-breathtaking career. I don't know whether it's a real step forward for her acting - it's only a trailer, even if it's longer than usual - but I can say in no uncertain terms that it's the most liberated she's been on screen, and whatever squeaky clean image she portrayed before I saw Casey Affleck whip her bare ass and slap her around has been at least temporarily reevaluated.

Pajiba now writes that Alba will pair with Mabrouk el Mechri, director of Jcvd, for the graphic novel adaptation The Insiders. Over the summer, Alba bought the rights to the Belgian comic book series with Robert Rodriguez, who is set to produce for his Sin City and Machete co-star. Alba will play an action heroine, »

Dustin Hoffman Declines To Reprise Role In "Little Fockers"

25 November 2009 10:10 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Dustin Hoffman reportedly refuses to join the second sequel to "Meet the Parents." The Academy Award winning actor will allegedly not appear on the latest installment of the comedy franchise, "Little Fockers," because of scheduling conflicts.

Hoffman, 72, played Ben Stiller's dad in the 2004 sequel "Meet the Fockers," was highly expected to reprise his role in the upcoming third film.

But the versatile actor won't be joining his co-stars. According to reports, scheduling conflicts prevented him to act alongside Stiller, and confirmed stars Jessica Alba and Robert De Niro.

Also yet to confirm is Barbra Streisand, who played Stiller's mother in "Meet the Fockers."
