The Dishing Diva

Actress Jessica Alba has started exercising again to get back in shape, just two weeks after giving birth to her second daughter Haven. The 30-year-old has begun her fitness regime to get her pre-pregnancy body back. She tweeted yesterday: “I did my first day of wrkout since I had the baby, just cardio for 40 min. -it’s a start. Anyone else starting a fitness regimen? “My doc told me I could start after 2 wks. – im going light, stationary bike and elliptical.” Alba, who already has three-year-old daughter Honor with husband Cash Warren, also responded to tweets from her followers, adding: “Start with walking and throw in 3 sets of lunges 20 per leg. You could do it while strolling ur baby. commit to 10 min a day for a wk then add another 10 until u get up 2 40 min a day. It’s easier to ease into it.”

Jessica Alba has revealed that she nearly gave up acting after she had her daughter Honor. The pregnant Spy Kids 4 star and her husband Cash Warren welcomed their first-born in June 2008, and Alba admitted that her arrival made it harder for her to accept anything less than the best when it comes to film roles. “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,” she told Latina magazine. “I love what I do. But unless it’s worth it, I’m not going to spend time away from my daughter. Before I had her, work was all I had. Now it’s not.” The 30-year-old is now expecting their second child and said the she wouldn’t rule out further expansions to her family in the future. “I just have to feel it out,” she said. “See how my 30s treat me. I just try to live in the moment.”

Hollywood legend Raquel Welch has reportedly claimed that Jessica Alba and Megan Fox get no respect from the film studios for their movie roles.

The 69-year-old actress made her comments in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, in which she praised the old Hollywood studio system, when actors were given contracts with top studios such as Warner Bros, MGM and 20th Century Fox.

She said: “I wasn’t working in the time of the studio system, where there were plenty of parts to do and parts that were appropriate for you – not parts from left-field where you had to somehow figure out, ‘How I am going to do this’.

“They do that now with Jessica Alba sometimes and Megan Fox and they get no respect.”

Welch is currently promoting her autobiography, Raquel: Beyond The Cleavage, and revealed that she is resigned to being seen as a sex symbol.

She said: “I am not a fool. I realised when I came along I wasn’t Meryl Streep who had been put into a bikini. I was somebody that got rocketed into the spotlight and superstardom overnight.

“I knew this was going to give me an opportunity and I should make the best of it. I think that I managed to do that, but it was not easy.”

Despite being married four times the mother-of-two said that she didn’t want to write a salacious tell-all book.

She said: “You don’t have to do just some dirty-laundry book. I wanted to speak about the unspeakable, like menopause.

“What we really don’t need to talk about much has to do with plain old sex…”

“I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer.”

When I first heard this I was shocked! Didn’t she and Cash break up a little while ago? I always though Alba would get married before she got knocked up but apparently not. I do have to commend her on telling us right away, so we don’t have to get the photogs after trying to catch a glimpse of her bump, and then her denying it for months!
