it's official: jessica alba doesn't take bad pictures. ever.

jessica alba in the upcoming issue of PARADE magazine (you know, that insert magazine in your sunday paper). apparently she loves scotch, likes golf, and thinks there's nothing wrong with playing sue storm.

On playing the role of Sue Storm… “People in the business made me feel that it was going to be a problem that I was playing Sue Storm, a blue-eyed blonde, but I didn't see any problem with it myself. Cate Blanchett dyes her hair any color that she needs to for her roles, and nobody cares. People transform themselves for roles everyday—it's called being an actor. It's no big deal—we play dress up for a living. We pretend—we tell stories for entertainment purposes. The only thing I did do was wear contacts to make my eyes blue. And as for most women in Hollywood? They're not real blondes, anyway!”

On her golf game… “I like to play golf. Is that real dorky? When I’m chilled out and relaxed, my long game is better. I can drive the ball two hundred yards, and that’s not bad. It’s just a game for now, but when I’m on the senior tour, then we’ll have to talk again.”

The Scotch connoiseur… Robert Masello, who interviewed Alba for PARADE, says: “Our waiter at the Polo Lounge, a very friendly fellow named Jeremy, knew Jessica from her previous visits, and he also knew what she liked. He instantly brought her the house list of single malt scotches, and together they had quite a lengthy chat about the various brands, and their relative smoky or peaty flavors. I was intrigued to hear these two experts going at it—especially when one of them happened to be the lovely young Ms. Alba. I always thought it was crusty old men who drank these expensive scotches. Now I know better."

it's official. between her beautiful pictures and her down to earth demeanor in this article, she might be the chick i want to be when i grow up...except i think she's younger than me. so i guess i'll stick with wanting to be salma hayek when i grow up. except she's supes pregnant right now. hmm...i'll have to get back to you.
