Alba Can’t Make Up Her Mind
8 02 2008Jessica Alba seems a little confused. But let's give her the benefit of the doubt and say that, like Nicole Richie, pregnancy has radically transformed her.
This is what she had to say a while back: “Alba is my last name and I’m proud of that. But that’s it. My grandparents were born in California, the same as my parents, and though I may be proud of my last name, I’m American. Throughout my whole life, I’ve never felt connected to one particular race or heritage, nor did I feel accepted by any. If you break it down, I’m less Latina than Cameron Diaz, whose father is Cuban. But people don’t call her Latina because she’s blonde.”
She caught a lot of flack for that comment, and rightly so. Now she's singing a different tune: "I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn't grow up with it," she tells Latina magazine.
"Hopefully I can pick it up because I want my kids to speak Spanish. I don't even want them to speak English for maybe the first two to three years, until pre-school. "We're in the United States so they're going to learn it anyway."
Alba goes even further. Referring to the baby's daddy, Cash Warren, who's biracial, she says: "I'm excited for my baby to be brown. I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash and I are like, please!"
Uh huh. *SMH*
