Jessica Alba says she felt objectified during her years starring on “Dark Angel.”

The actress is on the June cover of Marie Claire magazine, where she opens up about her early years of fame and her “Maxim-ready” looks.

“I had a show [‘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!”

But now that she is older, Alba says she is more comfortable owning her femininity and sexuality.

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.”

ldquo;I like to get positive attention,” she adds. “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.”

Kristen Stewart is trying desperately to revive her image as an angry, oft-complaining celebrity who once compared having her photo taken to being raped. And how is she doing that? By complaining again of course!

Only this time, the “Twilight” star who is promoting her new film, “Snow White and the Huntsman,” is complaining about her life being too EASY!

In the cover story for the June issue of Elle magazine, the yoing star says of her sheltered upbringing.

“You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to f—king happen to me. Just life. I want someone to f—k me over! Do you know what I mean?”

Yes, Kristen, you made your point.

But she wasn’t done there.

“It’s one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy.”

Back in 2010, Kristen told British Elle a very different story.

“It’s so… The photos are so … I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time, I can’t handle it,” she said at the time. “I never expected that this would be my life.”

Do you think Kristen found her happy place, or are her handlers attempting to revamp her image? If so, they might want to tell her EXACTLY what to say, next time.

Hugh Hefner’s former ‘Girl Next Door’ Holly Madison is headlining a burlesque show in Las Vegas these days. She’s become so ubiqitous there, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce had her recreate an iconic photo of Miss Atomic Bomb.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, “Above-ground nuclear testing was a major public attraction during the late 1950s, and hotels capitalized on the craze by hosting nuclear bomb watch parties, which usually included the dubbing of a chorus girl as Miss Atomic Bomb.”
Bomb watch parties? That does not sound safe.
Check out a photo of the last Miss Atomic Bomb, 1957’s Lee Merlin.
