Here is Jessica Alba becoming an honorary gangster when she caught a performance of the toe-tapping ?20s extravaganza Bullets Over Broadway. After the show, the Sin City and The Spoils of Babalon star stopped backstage to give headliner Zach Braff and the glamorous Atta Girls her regards.

Here’s a photo of Jessica Alba at Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards on Saturday. She’s wearing a bondage-inspired dress by David Koma. Alba is gorgeous, and it’s nice to see her on the red carpet with a million-watt smile.
Alba’s real career is fronting The Honest Company. She created the company to provide eco-friendly household and baby products as an alternative for parents who want to know their products are being produced safety and ethically. Alba’s very concerned about what she brings into her own home (she won’t even bring plastics into the house), but Radar Online has discovered that Alba’s not as careful about how she makes her money. To produce her wet wipes, she uses a Chinese factory that has had its “unsafe” products banned by the FDA more than once.
You’d think that anyone who launches The Honest Company would take great care to be extremely honest in their dealings. Yes, I know that Alba named the company after her daughter, Honor, but the word has a double meaning in this case. It turns out that Alba isn’t being entirely honest about where her products are manufactured. There have been tons of product-safety recalls of Chinese products that are imported into the United States. Alba’s wipes sound like trouble in the making. Here’s Radar’s report:
With her film career faltering, Jessica Alba has found a new career as an entrepreneur, founding the incredibly successful eco-friendly household goods retailer The Honest Company.
But although the company has based its brand — and raked in millions — on the promise that their products are safe and ethically produced, the announcement earlier this year that the company had been outsourcing some production to China angered and scared some consumers, who claimed the overseas factories couldn?t possibly be up to the brand?s standards. And while The Honest Company execs assured the concerned parents that every effort had been taken to vet their foreign factories, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that at least one of them has a disturbing history of importing unsafe products that were barred by the FDA for including untested drugs!
According to U.S. Customs data reviewed by Radar, one of The Honest Company?s main suppliers is the American Hygienics Corporation located in Shanghai. As recently as May 19, 2014, Honest Company received a shipment of 10,110 cartons of wet wipes from the Chinese company. On May 18, 2014, they received 33,098 cartons of wet wipes from American Hygienics. In total, records show, Honest Company received more than 142,595 cartons of wet wipes from the Shanghai?based supplier so far this year alone, and their relationship with the company goes back to 2012, the year the company was founded.
What The Honest Company may not know, however — and what their customers certainly don?t — is that American Hygienics has a history of being barred from importing to the U.S. after the FDA found “unsafe” and untested drugs in their wipes.
According to an import refusal report obtained by Radar, the FDA found on April 11, 2008, that the wipes the company was trying to import into the US appeared to contain “a new animal drug which is unsafe,” and subsequently blocked the shipment.
The next year, on February 5, 2009, yet another shipment of wipes from the company was barred from the U.S. The FDA again cited the shipment as containing “a new animal drug which is unsafe.”
Though The Honest Company has never revealed this information to buyers, they hinted in a blog post last November that customers might have reason to be concerned about their decision to work with foreign manufacturers.
In a November 2013 post entitled “Why Make Products In China?” The Honest Company wrote, “With a history of product recalls, less than optimal working conditions, and deleterious environmental impacts, China’s overall reputation in the eyes of global consumers has been less than stellar.”
Still, they defended their decision to work with American Hygienics and other foreign partners, insisting, “We ask A LOT from our partners. They, like us, have to go the extra mile when it comes to safety, sustainability, labor practices and more. Our team on the ground in China is very hands-on to ensure every part of the process lives up to Honest standards . . . We wouldn’t trust any old manufacturer in China.”

Radar includes some comments from Alba’s customers about how upset and disappointed they are for manufacturing products in a Chinese factory. I agree that Alba and her people probably do not monitor what goes on 24/7 with the production of their baby wipes. And if they’re lazy about wipes, who knows what else could be happening.
Alba’s getting ready to launch her Honest Company products in Target, so I see this story as a timely expos. Will her customers pick up on the controversy and react negatively? We shall see.

I’ve never noticed how stunningly hot Jaime King is, but now that I see her next to Jessica Alba, I have to say she is giving Jessica a good run for her money. Here they are at the Spike TV’s ‘Guys Choice’ Awards and once again I was not invited to this event. It doesn’t […]

So well done EW, […]

I haven’t seen the rest of the pictures yet, but fingers crossed they got her to recreate her iconic bikini ass pose […]

Jessica Alba covers the new issue of Entertainment Weekly to promote her role in Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For. It’s weird to see her promoting a film role instead of her lifestyle company, right? Jessica reprises her good-girl stripper character, Nancy, who never actually takes it off. She just dances in a bikini and chaps. Nancy disrobes in the comic books, but Jessica has a no-nudity clause. Jessica tells EW that she’s grown up so much since playing Nancy in the first movie: “I have a fearlessness now that I didn’t before.”
Jessica also has a new interview with People where she talks about her life organizational skills. She’s chatting up her new Zico (coconut water) campaign and telling us how we can achieve “that famous Alba balance in our own lives.” Sort of:
She’s not perfect: “As I?ve gotten older and after I became a mom, it became more of a priority to be healthy for the right reasons. It?s more important to have a balanced approach instead of trying to be perfect. I don?t deprive myself … I have [junk] if I want it. When I do feel that I am depriving myself, I find that I binge. That?s not a balanced way to go about it.”
Her non-gym days: “If I?m not going to sweat I go for a walk for an hour and a half [with the girls]. I’m not so much into preaching, more into practicing. I like to swim with them, go on family walks. The kids like it too, they go crazy, bouncing off the walls if I keep them inside. They?ll throw balls around, and I?m going, ‘You can?t throw balls in the house! That?s our lamp!’”
A coconut water plug: “I feel good and have a lot of energy when I start my day off with a great smoothie,” she says. (Her go-to recipe: 8 oz. Zico, 1/2 cup each frozen blueberries, strawberries and yogurt, a banana, 1 tsp. flax seeds.) And she was touting the benefits of coconut water long before she was getting paid to. “I was an early adopter! Water can get a bit boring. What?s the alternative to just water? This tastes like a treat. My kids are obsessed [with the chocolate flavor]. That?s all they want. I?ve even brought it when we have a family dinner out. I?d rather them have that than whatever they have at the restaurant. It just feels better.”
Her ideal day: “Sleeping in until I felt like getting up for sure, then having some kind of smoothie, then some kind of workout, because I really do like how I feel after a workout. Then actually to be able to look through a magazine or a book by the pool or beach would be nice. And a massage! Then I’d hang out with my kids by the pool — that’s usually the most fun thing. They love that so much, they?re like little mermaids, it?s so fun swimming with them. Then having dinner with my husband! We’d go for sushi [or maybe] a steak dinner — whatever I was feeling that day.”
[From People]
These excerpts aren’t great. Jessica is a somewhat bland interview subject, which is a change from her old stance about how hard it is to be taken seriously as a beautiful woman in Hollywood. Now she’s courting the diaper & household goods crowd, so she has to appeal to those masses. That’s why she’s giving the standard line about having a “balanced” approach to fitness, life, diet, and parenting. Alba may not be the best actress, but she’s a shrewd businesswoman.
We never covered these photos of Jessica at an LA Mother’s Day luncheon. She was given the “mother of the year” award by the Helping Hand organization.

Here is Jessica Alba attending Charles James: Beyond Fashion Costume Institute Gala in New York.
She wears gold lace Diane Von Furstenberg deep v-neck gown. Her styling is so glam and pretty, and I love her accessories. To me this dress is underwhelming though. It has some amazing details, particularly the tiered waistline which leads to the flowing skirt. I think that this is more of an awards ceremony or premiere dress than something for the Met Gala. It?s very lovely, it?s just not a standout gown.

Lea Michele tried to stand out in the wrong way, her default way, in a shiny gold backless Altuzarra dress that showed way too much of her fake cleavage. The dress has some strange bunched fabric at the waist and also features a huge slit at the side. Thirsty. And she paired it with matching gold pumps! I do like her hair and makeup though, that’s something.
Lea’s Glee costar, Dianna Agron, was much less attention-grabbing in sequin black Miu Miu with an amazing purple band across the bustline. I love how this dress mixes contemporary with 20s styling, it’s incredible. This is how you do a plunging neckline, you make it striking without the threat of a nip slip. However I do dislike her poofy hair. I thought that trend died a while ago.

Kate Mara has been blonde since early this year, and it really does not suit her. Also not suiting her: this huge Valentino with a floral pattern that looks like a tacky 80s bedspread. Maybe this dress would have worked in a bolder color, but as it is I really dislike it.
Idina Menzel/Adele Dazim was in this kind of cheesy looking sequin and tulle white Donna Karan Atelier gown. It has a long train and she just looks uncomfortable in it. Plus her styling looks amateurish. Sideswept curly hair, bright red lipstick AND a pale eyeshadow with liquid eyeliner? That’s a prom level look and she deserves better. She’s still beautiful, I just would like to see her in a more subtle look.
