Jessica Alba was captured out and about on Saturday getting her nails done, and doing one of her favorite past-times: shopping. We’ve posted a few of the pictures in the gallery:

As if you couldn’t worship the adorable Jessica Alba enough already, the actress revealed yesterday she played the role of mother on the set of the new Fantastic Four movie for her cast members.

During an interview she gave at the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race yesterday, Jessica said: “I’m always the first to see if everyone’s comfortable. You know, ‘Are you cold? Are you hot? You need some eggs? Do you want some hot tea? Do you need some medicine? Because we all get colds during production, and it’s always raining in Vancouver. I always try and make sure everyone’s OK. I don’t even think about it. That’s just my nature.”

Jessica Alba will finally get the chance to be judged purely on her acting ability and not her “hotness” in an upcoming movie.

The actress is to star in a new horror movie titled The Eye. In this upcoming flick, Jessica plays a woman who receives an eye transplant allowing her to see into the supernatural world - a world where Jessica isn’t paraded around in sexy outfits.

Jessica Alba was at the track on Sunday attending the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. As usual, the Fantastic Four actress was the centre of attention wherever she walked through the venue, and clearly had a great time soaking up the atmosphere and activities while promoting the new movie with the rest of her cast members.

Besides Jessica, country music singer LeAnn Rimes, WWE wrestler John Cena, Senator John McCain were all present making special appearances at the big race.

We’ve added 35 beautiful pictures of Jessica from the event in the photo gallery here.

So desperate is Jessica Alba to shake her pretty girl image she begged the director of the latest Fantastic Four movie to make her uglier in her reprised movie role.

Tim Story directs “Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer” and he spoke of Jessica in a recent interview with British film magazine “Empire.”

“I think the beauty thing can sometimes get in the way. We’ve discussed it at length,” says Story. “She has this thing; she says: ‘Tim, make me ugly! Put dirt on me! Do something!’ and I’m like: ‘OK, Jessica, maybe not in this film…’

So accident prone was the smoking hot Jessica Alba on the set of Dark Angel that producer James Cameron made her take dance training.

Alba reveals:  “I fell so many times on The Eye, the crew there would get embarrassed for me. When I first met (co-star) Alessandro (Nivola) I fell down the stairs. And then on Fantastic Four, I would always twist my ankle and fall down completely. It’s just frustrating always hurting yourself. “For Dark Angel, Jim Cameron actually made me do gymnastics and dance training so I could be more coordinated.”

Jessica Alba has helped fuel new rumors that her high-profile relationship with long-term love Cash Warren is on the rocks, admitting she wont start a family until she has found “a partner.”

“I’m not the easiest person to hang with. I’m away a lot, and it’s an unconventional life,” Jessica said. “But if I could find a partner, that would be best. I probably won’t have kids without one.

“My parents taught me about unconditional love, because you have your ups and downs, but you stick through it. I learned a lot from that, and I know that kind of love is possible.

So it turns out Jessica Alba has another endearing quality beyond her luscious looks.

The actress says in the June edition of InStyle Magazine that as well as being a “a sexy girl” she’s also “really super goofy.”

Some tidbits from the interview:

On her breakthrough role in Dark Angel: “I had womanly curves at a young age…Usually kid actors are a few years older than the roles they play. I was two or three years younger.”

On her rebellious personality: “I love challenging authority,” she says. “It probably wasn’t easy being my parents. The second somebody says no to me is the second I’m going to jump up and say yes.”
