Jessica Alba Reveals She Was Almost Named Farrah

Jessica Alba almost became Farrah Dawn Luisa. The 28-year-old actress revealed to George Lopez in his "Lopez Tonight" show that her parents thought she would look like TV icon Farrah Fawcett before her birth.
On Tuesday night's show, the former "Dark Angel" star said that her parents almost named her after the "Charlie's Angels" star. Her mother looked like the late actress and they thought that she would also resemble her.
But all that was changed when her Latino father saw her for the first time.
She told the host, "My name was Farrah Dawn Luisa Alba. On my birth certificate, it was written out, and I came out brown. And my dad was like 'she's not allowed to be Farrah.' On my first birth certificate, it's a scratch and he wrote Jessica Marie. My dad named me."

Alba Was Born Farrah Dawn

Jessica Alba's birth certificate has the name 'Farrah' scratched out - because her father decided his wife's planned tribute to Farrah Fawcett wouldn't work when his little Latina was born.
The actress' mother thought her daughter would have a more traditional North American look and opted to call her Farrah after her favourite Charlie's Angels star, but Alba's father, whose family hails from Mexico, disagreed when he realised his baby was more Latina than Los Angeles.
Alba reveals, "My name was Farrah Dawn Louisa Alba... On my birth certificate, it was written out and I came out brown and my dad was like, 'She's not allowed to be Farrah, and so he scratched it and on my first birth certificate, it's a scratch and then it's Jessica Marie.
"My dad named me; he was like, 'She looks like me. I can't let her come out Farrah.'
"But my mom's white and she kinda looks like Farrah Fawcett, so she thought I was gonna look exactly like her and I don't. So, I'm marked for the rest of my life Jessica Marie, but it's a good name."
And Alba's genealogy was tested during an appearance on America's Lopez Tonight show on Tuesday after she agreed to have her DNA tested for the programme, hosted by fellow Latino George Lopez.
The actress discovered she is 87 per cent European and only 13 per cent native American.

Ryan O'Neal was happy to be omitted from long-term partner Farrah Fawcett's last living trust. The actor says his relationship with the 'Charlie's Angels' actress - who lost her battle with cancer in June aged 62 - was based on love and respect and had nothing to do with financial gain. Ryan - who has a 24-year-old son, recovering alcoholic and drug addict Redmond O'Neal, with Farrah - said: "Mine and Farrah's relationship was based on a deep love and respect for one another and for our son Redmond. "After discussing how her financial affairs would be handled in the event of her passing we agreed that our son Redmond would be the primary beneficiary of her estate.

Ryan O'Neal knew he was being left out of long-time partner Farrah Fawcett's will. The "Love Story" star has reacted to reports that the "Charlie's Angels" star did not leave him her fortune.
The late actress' will has been made public earlier this week, revealing that she left the bulk of her millions to their son Redmond, and left hundreds of thousands of dollars to her nephew, father, and alleged ex-lover.
Ryan's name was noticeably absent from the will.
The 68-year-old actor, who had been with Fawcett since 1982 to 1997, said in a statement that his relationship with the actress was "based on a deep love and respect for one another and for our son Redmond."

O'Neal 'Perfectly Happy' To Be Left Out Of Fawcett's Will

Actor Ryan O'Neal has no problems with the fact he was left out of longtime companion Farrah Fawcett's will, insisting he doesn't need the cash.
The late Charlie's Angels star left nothing to O'Neal in her last will and testament, dated 2007, but handed the couple's son Redmond $4.5 million (£2.8 million) and left bumper cash pay-outs to ex-lover Greg Lott, a nephew and her dad.
In a new statement, O'Neal insists he was with the actress when she signed off on her will - and agreed he should receive nothing.
The statement reads, "Farrah's and my relationship was based on a deep love and respect for one another and for our son Redmond.
"After discussing how her financial affairs would be handled in the event of her passing, we agreed that our son Redmond would be the primary beneficiary of her estate.
"These were Farrah's wishes and I am perfectly happy with them."
Fawcett was 62 when she lost her battle with cancer in June.

Farrah Fawcett's last living trust omitted long-term partner Ryan O'Neal. The 'Charlie's Angels' actress - who lost her battle with cancer in June aged 62 - reportedly left $4.5 million to son Redmond O'Neal and $100,000 to ex-boyfriend Greg Lott, who has recently claimed he was the star's secret boyfriend but had been banned from seeing her by Ryan. However, Ryan and close friends Alana Stewart and Craig Nevius - who chronicled the actress' cancer battle in TV documentary 'Farrah's Story' - were not named in the document, which was most recently updated on 9 August 2007 and appeared to have been signed by the actress. Farrah also left $500,000 each to her nephew Greg Walls and father James Fawcett.

Fawcett's Ex: 'Farrah Didn't Want A Funeral'

The ex-boyfriend Farrah Fawcett named in her will has blasted Ryan O'Neal for burying the actress - because she didn't want a big funeral.
The former Charlie's Angels star died in June and was buried after a star-studded service at Los Angeles' Our Lady of The Angels cathedral - but former lover Greg Lott insists Fawcett would have wanted a much simpler send off than the one her longtime companion organised.
In a chat with paparazzi, who caught Lott arguing with O'Neal during an encounter in a Los Angeles street last month, Lott said, "She wanted to be cremated, she wanted to be given to her dad, with her mother's ashes (sic) and she did not want a funeral and she did not want a burial plot."
According to a new RadarOnline.com report, Fawcett left Lott, who she dated in the 1960s, $100,000 (£62,500) in her 2007 will, while O'Neal was left out.

Fawcett's Family Rocked By Secret Lover Claims

Farrah Fawcett's family has been stunned by allegations the actress included a secret lover in her will.
The Charlie's Angels star passed away in June, aged 62, and reportedly left the bulk of her multi-million dollar fortune to her troubled son Redmond O'Neal - excluding her longterm partner Ryan O'Neal from her legacy.
But now British newspaper the Sunday Express claims the star left $96,000 (£60,000) to former Texas footballer Greg Lott, who previously claimed to have been her secret longterm lover.
Lott published a string of love letters in a bid to support his story, and was subsequently dismissed by Ryan O'Neal as a "disgruntled ex-boyfriend from the sixties."
But the former athlete has revealed he was included in Fawcett's will and insists her decision to leave him a portion of her estate proves she cared for him until the end. He has also accused O'Neal of keeping him away from Fawcett when she was dying.
He says, "I am a beneficiary of her estate. I have been asked to maintain the confidentiality of the estate, which I must respect.
"This news that I am indeed in her will and Ryan is not raises some serious questions about why he prevented me from seeing the love of my life in her final months. Farrah meant the world to me and I know that I equally had a profound impact on her. I cannot understand how those around her chose to keep me from her."

Charlie's Angels returning to TV?

Josh Friedman, the creator behind Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is now getting behind another movie franchise to bring to ABC. This time it's Charlie's Angels. Okay, this one started as a television franchise then moved to the movies and now is moving back to TV. Well, you get the idea.
Also involved would be Leonard Goldberg, who worked with Aaron Spelling to produce the original series, and Drew Barrymore, who produced and starred in the movie versions. My guess is that this new version would something like Charlie's Angels: The Next Generation. Will John Forsythe return as the voice of Charlie? I hope so.
Revival-mania continues strong on network television. Success has been a mixed bag. For every Battlestar Galactica there are several Bionic Womans. A new version of Charlie's Angels certainly has a shot in today's market and the movies did well. Aaron Spelling tried to revive

ABC may be staying in the high profile remake business with a rebooted version of "Charlie's Angels." According to Variety, ABC is close to ordering a pilot for a modern take on the classic '70s action series, written and executive produced by Josh Friedman, who did a different sort of franchise overhaul on Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Drew Barrymore, who already updated this material as a feature film, is expected to produce in some capacity along with Leonard Goldberg, one of the original "Charlie's Angels" producers. The project is set up through Sony Pictures TV.

Smith Wants An Apology From Blogger Hilton

Former Charlie's Angels star Jaclyn Smith has called on celebrity blogger Perez Hilton to "do the right thing" and apologise for going public with an erroneous story suggesting the actress had shot herself.
The Internet gossip misreported an incident involving Smith's one-time stunt double last month, and had the star's fans, family and friends fearing the worst.
Hilton's article suggested Smith had shot herself while on vacation in Honduras, but the actress quickly denied she had been injured. In a statement she explained she was "safe and home with her family".
The injured woman was, in fact, the actress' lookalike Sandra Franklin, who sustained a bullet wound to her stomach during an incident at her home.
Smith has been waiting for an apology ever since, stating, "I've moved on but apologies are always nice.
"It's irresponsible. It can be hurtful and painful to people that love you."
The actress did see Hilton's correction, but she tells news show Access Hollywood the damage had already been done - her son was already in a panic.
She explains, "My son was working that day and people came up to him and said, 'Your mom, your mom...' He said, 'I just talked to my mom!' He knows me, he knows I wouldn't have done something like that. But you don't wanna hear that."
