Playing Operation? Huh?

Jessica Alba is desperate to shed her sexy image, because she’d rather be known for her tough-girl attitude. The 26-year-old actress admits she would prefer to win a man’s heart with her fists than her looks - because her beauty ‘isn’t important’. She says “I’d rather slay a guy with my fists than knock him out with the way I look.
I know people like what they see and I’m totally happy to dress up and look sexy but I just see it as playing a part. “Underneath I’d prefer to be known for something else, like being tough or being smart. It makes me feel more confident to know I can hold my own in a fight than it does to look in the mirror and think I look beautiful.”

Actress Jessica Alba regrets accepting blockbuster movie roles and vows to dedicate her time to more “meaningful” film parts. The Fantastic Four star is fed up of competing for the best parts in Hollywood and is now only willing to work on smaller projects.
She says, “I’ve definitely had to fight in the film industry and I’m going to change a lot of things in my career. I’m waiting to just do little movies with meaning to me with great directors. “That’s going to be my driving force now. It’s totally different.”
I would definitely like to see Jessica do something different, maybe a drama, what do you think?

The resemblance is crazy! Apparently Jessica doesn’t have a sister - so who could this be? A body double?

After four years off, Mike Myers finally returns to the big screen in The Guru. His last live-action movie was 2003’s The Cat in the Hat.
He finally returns with The Love Guru, which hits screens June 20. The film, which also stars Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and Ben Kingsley, features Myers as Pitka, an American left as a child at the gates of an ashram in India. Pitka becomes a self-help guru who tries to smooth the marital rift of a hockey star and his wife.
Myers, a native of Ontario, says he wrote the film because of his interests in Eastern philosophy and hockey. But he isn’t the type to zip out a script the moment an idea hits.
“I enjoy having the Lamaze birthing process of it,” says Myers, who also authored the Wayne’s World and Austin Powers franchises. “It usually takes me three, 3½ years in between characters.”
Why so long? He’s very protective of his original live-action characters. “I’ve written and created everything I’ve done, and it takes me a year to reflect on what I’ve done, a year to let the idea incubate and a year to create” a new character.
For Pitka, that included playing a philosopher of Eastern religion in New York and Los Angeles, where some unsuspecting passersby sought advice from Myers, who never broke from character.
“They asked some very spiritual and deep questions,” he says. “It’s been fascinating combining comedy with a nice life-affirming message.”
Fascinating, if challenging. He knows combining comedy, hockey and Eastern principles is a little “like figuring out how they got the peanut butter in the chocolate and the chocolate in the peanut butter.”
But he didn’t expect the Wayne’s World or Austin Powers films to be successes, either.
“When I did Wayne’s World, I thought you had to grow up in my neighborhood to get it,” he says. “When I did Austin, I thought you had to grow up in my house to get it, because my parents are from Liverpool. But I’ve been very lucky to create things people have liked, so I have to stay true to the things that interest me.”
