JESSICA ALBA’S PAJAMAS ARE IN JEOPARDY

Watch out Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian is coming for you. Jessica’s Honest Baby Clothing is an industry leader in selling matching family pajamas – these are especially popular over the Christmas season – but now Kim wants in on the action. Jessica’s company was plagued by shipping mishaps this season and some online reviews are less than pleasant, so Kim is planning to branch out her Skims line and market matching family pajamas next year. My source says that Jessica caught wind of Kim’s plans and she’s concerned, especially since Kim has countless devoted fans and a huge social media presence. It also makes sense since Kim’s Skims line already sells loungewear. One industry insider says that Kim could likely dominate the pajama game and make a huge dent in Jessica’s business.

JESSICA ALBA UNDERESTIMATED OPRAH’S POWER

Sometimes a shout out from Oprah Winfrey isn’t a good thing – just ask Jessica Alba. Oprah included the family pajamas by Jessica’s company, Honest Baby Clothes on her annual holiday list of favorite things, causing a MASSIVE surge in sales! The problem is Jessica didn’t realize HOW  powerful Oprah is, and her company wasn’t prepared for the flood of nonstop orders. According to an insider, there are SO many orders backed up for the holiday family pajamas that some customers won’t get them in time for their holiday photos or Christmas cards. Frantic Jessica had to hire more people to handle all the unexpected business and complaints about late shipping.

JESSICA ALBA USES HER OWN HONEST PRODUCTS

Jessica Alba may be a movie star and a successful businesswoman, but she does do her own shopping – at least sometimes. She and her family are in Kauai, Hawaii for the holidays and she went by herself to the local Foodland supermarket to stock up for the weekend. She even bought a few of her own products from The Honest Co, which is now worth a billion dollars! Looks like fireworks are on the menu for the New Year also….

JESSICA ALBA: HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

Jessica Alba, 35, seems like one of those really involved Hollywood mothers. She’s frequently seen in the company of her two daughters Honor, 8, and Haven, 5, even though she has a billion dollar business to take care of. She doesn’t flaunt her children, but she doesn’t hide them from photographers either. Jessica took her girls to a toy store after school to make the first day back to classes more palatable. It’s startling to realize that Jessica, who mainly appears in teen and horror movies, has a net worth of 340 million thanks to her Honest Company that produces toxin-free home products. Yep, she’s WAY ahead of Gwyneth…

EXCUSE ME, MRS TIMBERLAKE!

The Greater Goods card and gift shop in Minneapolis doesn’t get a lot of celebrity shoppers so they were delighted to have a famous visitor buying Valentines this week. When a familiar looking beautiful woman appeared at the register to pay, the owner instantly knew she was famous. “Are you Jessica Alba?” he ventured. She graciously replied “No – I get that a lot, but I’m Jessica Biel. It was a character revealing moment and Jessica passed with flying colors. The shopkeeper was embarrassed, but grateful that she was so chatty and nice. She was in town with her husband Justin Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience Tour.” After Jessica left with a man who appeared to be a bodyguard, the store called our comrade in gossip, CJ at the Star Tribune.

QUIRKY JESSICA ALBA FASHION PHOTOS AVAILABLE AT GABBA GALLERY

Saturday night found us at The Gabba Gallery on Beverly in Koreatown where Moshe and Eddie Brakha had an opening for their show “Uh-dik-shun: A life in Photographs.” The crowd was very cool and the photo art is highly desirable. One of our friends is a former model of the artists’. We were surprised to see Jessica Alba among the subjects – her slightly kinky fashion pics originally done for Genlux magazine show her with more style than we’re used to. Maybe they were taken before she became a mom. But she looks great.

THE ROSSDALES ARE GOING TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY

Some celebrity families actually spend loads of time together and that includes Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale and their boys Kingston and Zuma. Kingston, 7, is already showing signs of becoming a dandy like Romeo Beckham, when it comes to style. The Rossdales attended a birthday party for Jessica Alba’s little girl Honor’s fifth birthday. Jessica has gone back to making movies and she’s currently filming “Dear Eleanor” which takes place in 1962.

JESSICA ALBA AND OUR PET PEEVE: STROLLERS

#jessicaalba #janetcharlton

Here we go again. We have frequently pointed out how annoyed we get by the proliferation of strollers – especially in crowded shopping areas and heavily populated places. We think when a child is old enough to walk – he should be encouraged to walk and NOT pushed around in what is basically a wheelchair. Maybe the mother will have to work a tiny bit harder to keep track of the kid, but the exercise is good for the child and checking out his surroundings is a learning experience. Like Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba finds it easier to push her child instead of walking with her, and little Honor, 4, doesn’t look all that happy about it.

JESSICA ALBA: HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY


Jessica Alba is fast becoming one of our Hollywood fashion favorites. She doesn’t look like just another cookie-cutter starlet, nor is she way too sexy. The fact that she’s a smart businesswoman doesn’t hurt, either. Last year she launched The Honest Company that provides natural diapers and household items. She’s also writing a book called The Honest Life, which is coming out next year along with her movie “Escape From Planet Earth.”

BEYONCE AND JESSICA ALBA: ALL THAT GLITTERS AT THE MET

#jessicaalba #beyonce

The Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has become one of the biggest fashion nights of the year. Back in the early 90’s we were lucky to attend one of these events and didn’t know which way to turn. The curated show itself was mesmerizing but the place was loaded with celebrities in every corner. Since then the event has become designer driven and we picked two noteworthy looks. Jessica Alba’s dress by Michael Kors is a gorgeous color on her and looks quite elegant. Beyonce looks beautiful but at first we thought her showgirl style dress was designed by her mother- a bit too flashy. But actually it was Givenchy, so mom’s off the hook.
