Here’s the sequel of the horror story which Jessica Alba is staring. No, it is not a new movie premiere. I am talking about the campaign about the importance of voting.

The Declare Yourself campaign is using agin the shock value to get the word out about the importance of voting.

The actress poses for another ad in the this campaign, this time sporting a Hannibal Lecter-type mask called The Muzzler in her provocative appeal to young voters.

Explaining her passion for the campaign, Alba said, “If you don’t register and vote and make a difference, and hopefully change the bad things that are happening in our country, you are essentially just binding and muzzling yourself.”

The first ad expressed the same idea by different mens. Instead of a Hannibal mask Jessica had her mouth dug taped.

Even though she seems a sweet and innocent girl, Jessica Alba is very strong and determined. She recently appeared in a new campaign for the voter group DECLARE YOURSELF.

You can easily see the images are a bit shocking, but Jessica is very eager to fight for the cause she believes in:

“I think it is important for young people to be aware of the need we have in this country to get them more active politically,” says Alba. “People respond to things that are shocking.”

The dramatic image “really resonates” with the issue of voting, according to the 27-year-old star. “If you don’t register and vote and make a difference, and hopefully change the bad things that are happening in our country, you are essentially just binding and muzzling yourself.”

Of taking the photos, shot by photographer Marc Liddel, Alba says, “It didn’t freak me out at all. What I like about Marc’s work is that he tells a story and brings real emotion to his pictures.”

To loosen up a bit, Alba is declaring that she is very happy to be a mother, and that this has been the best thing that happened to her: “It is exhausting but way more fulfilling than anything I have done. Everything I do now is so much more meaningful because of her.”

Not everyone in Hollywood is like Angelina Jolie, who loves being pregnant. For instance, Jessica Alba recently declared in the new issue of Cosmopolitan magazine that pregnancy was not her cup of cake.:

“I never felt less sexy. I mean, I wouldn’t have changed it for the world … but I wanted to get rid of all the weight.”

In the August issue of the magazine the actress talks about her recent wedding to Cash Warren and also about her newly born daughter, Honor Marie, who became part of Alba’s life last month.

“I never thought I’d find a man before 30, let alone marry him and have his baby,” she told the magazine. “I always used to meet the wrong guys – the ones who wanted to hang out for a week and see how far they could get. If you didn’t have sex in the first few days, you were either frigid or a lesbian. So I held out – and, boy, am I glad I did!”

As for her no-frills wedding at the Beverly Hills courthouse, Alba insisted the hush-hush ceremony was “very romantic.” And she had no desire for an over-the-top, celebrity-studded ceremony.

“We’re not a typical Hollywood couple,” she said. “I love that he’s not an actor. I’m way too high maintenance to be in a relationship with an actor – they’re all such divas!”

Warren has also been instrumental in keeping Alba grounded during her rapid transformation into wife and mother.

“Nothing was planned – the pregnancy or the wedding,” she admitted. “But he took it in his stride and convinced me we’d conquer all!”

Alba comes from a Mexican background, whereas the future father had French origins. When asked if she plans to raise her child to be multilingual Alba answered, “Yes. And my fiancé speaks French. I’m trying to learn Spanish. It’s just that every time I get into classes, I end up having work. So this is the perfect time. While I’m off, I can learn.”

And Jess confessed that she can’t wait to start being a mommy. “I’m excited. I’m going to love my child to the most that I possibly can. I have a different perspective on things now. Things that used to be so important, like my work, aren’t as much anymore. Now, it’s family.”

Commenting on her “hit the ground running” mentality when it comes to work, Jessica said she’s happy to be taking a break. “I feel very blessed to be in this business and be successful. I’ve been working consistently since I started. Now, I can take time off until I get that fire, that script and that role that will force me to work every day and give a hundred percent effort. In the meantime, I’m going to stop working. I’ll breathe for a change.”

According to a source, Alba is due in June. This baby is going to be a lucky one, with such genes.

Mom-to-be Jessica Alba isn’t letting pregnancy slow her down in Paris – but she is letting it guide her hunger.

The actress, who’s making European press rounds for her movie The Eye and recently did some antiquing in the City of Light, took to her MySpace blog on Tuesday to reveal her latest Parisian obsession: ham and cheese sandwiches.

“Every day I have eaten ham and cheese sandwiches, I can’t get enough of them,” Alba writes. “Wish they had these back in the states, the bread is amazing. My tummy is getting bigger by the second and the little one must like the food too because it is moving and kicking like crazy. ITS THE BEST.”

That said, Alba, does reveal that she’s ready to come home after a whirlwind trip that included some sightseeing (and an Amy Winehouse concert!):

“LAST TRIP!!! Went to the Lanvan show and the Rodin museum in Paris…amazing. Also saw Amy Whinehouse perform. She has such an incredible voice. She’s definitely a throwback…reminiscent of Ella. I am currently getting my makeup done to go to the premiere of my movie. Can’t wait to get home and rest. “

The ‘Sin City’ actress was an early developer and from the age of 12 she was constantly teased about her rapidly expanding chest.

Recalling her time in the sixth-grade, Jessica said: “The accusation still ricochets… They think I’m a sl*t?”

The pregnant star also gave advice to young girls, telling them to enjoy life but be safe at the same time.

Jessica writes in Ellyn Spragins’ new book of essays, ‘If I’d Known Then’:

“Boys are awful. They are made of nothing but hormones until they’re about 20 or 21. It’s fun to have a crush, but don’t think it’s forever… and use birth control and condoms, please.”

Jessica – who is expecting her first baby with fiancé Cash Warren – recently admitted her baby wasn’t planned but was a pleasant surprise.

She said: “I’ve always loved kids and I’ve always wanted kids, so this is kind of perfect. I feel really blessed. I feel really lucky. This is the best time ever. It’s the best year.”

Pregnant Jessica Alba ruled the red carpet in her purple strapless Marchesa gown at Sunday’s Oscars – where she revealed to Ryan Seacrest that she’s in her “third trimester.”

But looking so glam took its toll, Alba admitted Monday on her MySpace blog. “Instead of hitting up the Governor’s Ball or any other party, we opted for sweats and In-N-Out Burgers,” she wrote. “Being preggers kind of takes the fun out of partying until the wee hours.”

As entertaining as the star-studded bashes might be, she added, “Sleep always sounds so much better these days.”

Alba and longtime boyfriend Cash Warren announced her pregnancy in December and got engaged soon afterward.

Despite her fatigue, the 26-year-old Oscar presenter called Sunday’s awards show a “pretty great night” – as personal favorites Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose) and Diablo Cody (the screenwriter for Juno) all took home prizes.

“Another highlight was the fact that I didn’t mess up my lines or trip on my dress (on stage),” she added. “I did have a stumble backstage … Cash caught [me]. Luckily all the photogs were taking pics of Cameron [Diaz] looking gorgeous in pink.”

We have talked about the female presences on the red carpet, but we didn’t make a top with the best dressed women on Sunday night, at Oscars.

Cameron Diaz: The ponytailed presenter keeps her beach-girl cool in a pale pink Dior by John Galliano bustier gown, Bulgari jewels, Roger Vivier clutch and minimal makeup.

Jennifer Garner: Smoldering her way down the red carpet, the actress sizzles in a black silk taffeta Oscar de la Renta fishtail gown, major Van Cleef & Arpels diamonds, Roger Vivier clutch and a deeply parted updo.

Anne Hathaway: The presenter is a modern goddess in her flowered and draped red Marchesa gown, Harry Winston diamonds and sleek ponytail.

The expecting actress posed for these series of photos for Latina magazine and although I’m loving the concept and the art direction, there’s just something about Jessica’s portrayal of terror that isn’t quite nailing it.

In Latina’s March 2008 cover story, Jessica Alba gets personal with Editor-in-Chief Mimi Valdés Ryan and directly responds to the rumors that have resulted in her now-commonly used nickname, “Jessica ‘Don’t Call Me Latina’ Alba.” Check out some of her revealing answers below, and don’t forget to pick up the full story when the issue hits newsstands on February 19!On her reluctance to walk the red carpet at Latin events: “I’ll support those shows, but I can’t go on the press lines and have people make me feel bad about myself. Life is too short. I can’t change how I grew up, and I shouldn’t have to apologize for it. I know I feel close to the Latin community, because that’s what I grew up with.”

On claims that she’s proud to have cut loose from her Mexican roots: “I never said that. Cut loose from what? What the hell are they talking about? Why would I want to cut loose from the only family I know?”

On not learning to speak Spanish as a child: “I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn’t grow up with it.”

On confusing other men for her dad as a kid: “When I was little, I used to go up to black men and hold their legs, thinking it was my dad all the time. I’d wrap my arms around them, then look up and be like, ‘Oh my God!’”

On being accepted for who she is in Hollywood: “I was always trying to figure out: How the hell am I going to be mainstream? How are people going to accept me? When are the going to get a clue that I am American, that this is what America looks like–people like me who are mixed, have different blood, mixed with different ethnicities? When are the people who are hiring for these jobs and writing these screenplays going to realize that?”

On what she wants her baby to look like: “I’m excited for my baby to be brown. I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash and I are like, please!”
