Jessica Alba finds fan's 'look-alike' surgery plans 'bizarre'!

London, July 14 : Jessica Alba was left shocked after she came to know that a Chinese girl was planning to undergo cosmetic surgery to look exactly like her.

Alba, 30, said she found it “bizarre” that the 21-year-old, known only as Xiaoqing, wanted to transform her looks in a desperate bid to win back her former boyfriend, who is a fan of the actress.

“That’s just so bizarre. The physical is so fleeting anyway,” the Daily Express quoted Alba as telling Allure Magazine.

“And when you’re in a relationship, the physical lasts for, maximum, two years. And then you don’t care how attractive (sic) you are to that person - if they drive you nuts, they drive you nuts,” she added.

Xiaoqing had admitted last year that she would like to undergo the surgery, and she had been offered a cosmetic overhaul for free by surgeons in Shanghai.

But the actress reached out to the girl to plead with her not to change her appearance, and Xiaoqing gave up her operation plans.

I will never regain my pre-baby body, says Jessica Alba

London, July 13 : Though she is eagerly awaiting her second child later this summer, Jessica Alba has admitted that motherhood has changed her body forever.

The 29-year-old actress, who''s famous for her exotic beauty and bikini body, worked hard to get back into the shape she was in before giving birth to her daughter Honor. 

Despite apparently regaining her enviable figure, Alba insists that she will never fully regain her pre-pregnancy figure.

“I can’t ever get down to the weight I was before I had Honor,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling the August issue of Allure.

“My body’s just different. The jeans just sort of zip up differently, and things hang differently. It’s a miracle what happens, but you definitely are different afterward. Unless you’re Gisele,” she added.

The star, who is married to production assistant Cash Warren, however can''t help but marvel at the miracle of pregnancy.

“I saw how incredible and amazing it is to be a woman and to be able to create a life,” she said.

“There’s a reason why certain areas of the body are desirable - because it all leads to reproduction. There’s a science behind it all. It’s not just to sell whatever you’re selling on a billboard or a magazine or a movie,” she added.

The actress brought her baby bump to the nail salon yesterday for some serious R&R. With no hubby or daughter in sight, the gorgeous mommy indulged in some last-minute pampering before her due date this September.

"After I had Honor I didn't leave the house for a while. It was all about changing diapers and feedings and still trying to get back in to the routine of my acting thing."

The 30-year-old Spy Kids 4 star is putting her career aside to focus on her family. So could that mean more babies in the future?
"I just have to feel it out. See how my 30s treat me. I just try to live in the moment."

Unknown to the twins, Marissa is a retired spy of the Organization of Super Spies (OSS), which has since become the world's top spy agency. So when planet earth is threatened by The Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven), she is called back into action by the leader of the OSS.

With the end of the world approaching, both Rebecca and Cecil find that they have no choice but to take part in the warfare, help Marissa, and put their anger against her aside in order to save innocent people.
