Jessica Alba has signed herself and her daughter, Honor, up for Spanish lessons, as she wants to take on more Spanish-speaking roles and was devastated when her inability to speak Spanish led some to question her heritage early in her career: “I didn’t want to misrepresent Latinos and I didn’t know how to defend myself. But I went to my room and I cried all night. Since then, I’ve preferred not to comment on the subject,” she says, “I tried to explain to them that, in this country (America), I’m considered Latina and, thus, I consider myself Latina as well. I grew up eating enchiladas… I identify with Mexicans. It’s in my blood whether or not I speak Spanish.” [DailyExpress]
Alicia Silverstone says she doesn’t mind people continually associating her with Clueless: “It’s actually really pleasant.

She said Clueless was her favorite movie of all time, and she had just introduced it to her ten-year-old daughter, who now loves it. It’s kind of sweet that there’s this generation now sharing it with their kids – like how my mom and I were watching Thorn Birds together.” [NYMag]
Nicole Richie tells Marie Claire that she never had an eating disorder, despite the tabloid stories that claimed otherwise after she lost a dramatic amount of weight a few years back: “”I felt it was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don’t. It’s extremely insulting and irresponsible. An eating disorder is serious and it’s a disease.” [NYDN]
Pete Doherty reportedly went on a 24-hour-bender after being freed from court and learning of his ex-girlfriend’s death by heroin overdose: “Pete was laughing and joking with everyone.

Robin’s death obviously meant nothing to him. She is being treated by Pete like she didn’t exist.” [TheSun]

Ginnifer Goodwin says that veganism just sort of came to her one day: “For most of my life I naively lived on cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets; a family dinner always meant steak. Then one day a year and a half ago, it hit me over the head while I was making a hearty breakfast that it wasn’t, in the grand scheme of earthly things, intended for me.” [JustJared]

“I’ve seen both sides. I’ve had people in stores drop everything to help me, but then I’ve also been with the big movie star where I’m the one in the background that nobody gives a damn about. I was a waitress and a bartender and a coat-check girl, and I am grateful every day to be doing what I love, so I get furious when I hear about actors being precious. We’re not curing Aids, and we’re all lucky to be working – so be polite and be professional.” –Julianna Margulies [TimesOnline]
