Jessica Alba lands the June cover of Marie Claire. I think the cover and inside photo are both beautiful! She looks great.

In the interview, Jessica opens up about how awful it is to be considered “sexy” (poor thing), and how that made her feel objectified.

On being typecast as sexy: “I had a show [Fox's 'Dark Angel'] that premiered when I was 19. And right away, everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed. I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That’s what people expected…I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!”

On gaining confidence: “Now that I’m older, I’ve learned how to own it, but I’m still not very overt. There are some women who dress for men. I dress for myself. It took me some time to get here. Being a mom and feeling grown-up have helped. Now if I’m going to wear something short, it has to have a high neck or a little sci-fi toughness to it, an edge.”

On her former sexy image: “I like to get positive attention. But if I have a choice between someone noticing in a negative way what I’m wearing and going, What was she thinking? or someone not noticing what I’m wearing, I would rather not make a statement at all and just have a good conversation instead.”

Thing that also must be tough for Alba is she’s actually a pretty horrible actress. If she were hot AND a good actress, that would be something. But she’s really not – so she gets all the stupid “hot girl” roles smarter actresses might steer away from. So maybe now is a good time to focus on her The Honest Company, and skip acting for a bit.

“Sin City” star Jessica Alba arrives at the “Anderson” show in New York, New York on May 10, 2012. Any Anderson fans out there? I love him on AC 360 but just can’t get into his daytime talk show.

Jessica will be featured on Anderson’s  Mother’s Day Show.  The special Mother’s Day celebration with Anderson’s mom, Gloria Vanderbilt will also feature “Grey’s Anatomy” star Chandra Wilson, movie star Jessica Alba and their moms.

In a daytime exclusive, meet one mother who survived a plane crash. See how she found the strength to survive, and to create a beautiful new life with her family.

Okay, okay, okay. So he’s not throwing her a birthday party or buying her a pinata or anything…but sexy actress Jessica Alba will be spending her 31st in the presence of the President!

Alba will be in Washington D.C. on her birthday,  April 28th, while promoting Honest.com, her new website for eco-friendly family and baby products. “I’m going to go for the White House Correspondents dinner,” Alba says. “They don’t know that they’re throwing me a big dinner birthday party but they are, secretly.”

If you want to think of it THAT way, you can, Jess.   I’m sure the food will be delicious and the company just as fulfilling!
