Jessica Alba: “Successful, Cool Actresses Come in All Shapes and Sizes.”

If you weren’t already aware of the cool level-headedness of actress Jessica Alba, take it right from the source. Here’s Jessica’s take on the leading ladies of Hollywood:

“You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes,” Jessica tells Elle magazine.

The March Elle cover girl looks as stunning as ever nine months after the birth of her daughter Honor Marie. Jessica admits that getting back into shape (for a Campari ad campaign) was tough- even tear-inducing at times. Another post-pregnancy habit she picked up?

“I wore a girdle. Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist-any kind of band or girdle works. She was like, “I slept in it.” I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a sixpack-that’s just not my body at all.”

Who needs a six pack when you’re fabulous all over!
