Jessica Alba, on the set of her new movie, The Eye, has been acting like a diva. She reportedly has been a pain to the cast and crew by not showing up on time to set, demanding that no one look at her, walk near her, or take her picture.

One day she was supposed to wear a pair of jeans with the British insignia, but refused to wear them because she says she is Irish.
On the 28th, all spilled over as she threw insults at Brett, the woman playing the violin for her. She ignored her, demanded that she be given a dress different from hers, though Brett is her double.

If that was not all, another character in the scene was completely ignored the entire time Alba taped. It was amazing to watch a person disrespect another human being that way. She did not say hello, chit chat during the long breaks in between takes, nothing. There seemed to be a fondness for the violin player hired to play that day. All her tips came from her instead of the person the studio hired to teach her.

She refused to allow the extras to eat the same food as the rest. They were given oatmeal and donuts, while SAG members ate omelettes.
Alba claims she studied the violin for six months leading up to this movie. The audience would beg to differ. She was awful. I was there.

The behavior that I saw of this young lady was someone who forgot that people make fans, and when you act unkind towards 500 extras in the audience word gets around. She talked like a trucker chick, but without the class.

This is not the first time Jessica Alba has thought she could act like a diva. Shelby Loosch of the Globe is reported on Jessica Alba's first 'diva' incident on the set of Dark Angel. When a stylist in Vancouver attempted to comb Alba's hair it got snagged in a knot causing Alba to throw a hissy fit. Alba told the stylist, "Dont' you EVER do that again!" Jess then stormed into her trailer before being coaxed out after 20 minutes by fiance Michael Weatherly.

The Eye is a remake of the Hong Kong film "Jian Gui." It is about a woman who receives an eye transplant that allows her to see into the supernatural world. It is being directed by Sebastian Gutierrez. Alba is being paid $4 million dollars for the movie.

    Hey, the writer wasn't saying she was with Weatherly during the making of The Eye, she was referencing another incident on the Dark Angel set--when she was engaged to Weatherly--and she threw a similar-type hissy fit. Douche-bags. You clearly failed at reading and comprehension. I dunno how far off the mark this report is, I watched Dark Angel and I've heard repeated reports of her Diva behaviour. And with the whole Irish thing, I dunno if she actually threw a fit over it, but I think we all know Alba doesn't identify with her Mexican roots and prefers to be associated with her mother--who is white, quite possibly Irish.

    EBZ is a hater who needs to stop the hate. Jessica Alba and I are going to shake you haters OFF and make it through the rain. Jessica Alba is a really nice girl.

    And people no matter where you get your media from take what you read with a grain of salt always.

    Mariah is what people could clearly call an idiot. You don't know the writer or Jessica Alba for that matter to defend her like she's paying you to. I hope you get smacked but with a brain or someone's hand, either way smacked with something.

    You were doing a decent job until you said she made the extras eat oatmeal and donuts. First of all, since when does an actor decide what food is eaten on set? Secondly, NOBODY talks to extras and vice versa, most of the time. They are human props for the most part, and that's what they expect. Oh, and Alba said herself that she practiced for a long time on the violin, and still sounds like crap, so she beat you to the punch on that one.
    "She said she is Irish" BWAAAHAAAA. You're an idiot. She would never say that.

    I'm not a fan of Alba's, but the kicker in this fabrication is the fact she is no longer engaged to Michael Weatherly and has not been with him in at least 4 years. In fact, he was recently quoted in an interview as not really having any contact with her anymore.

    I have a rule: never believe the what the media says. They have proven to be big fat liars over the years.

    There are these people called haters... and clearly this writer is one. Shame on them. Jessica Alba is a sweety and doesn't deserve this slander being written about her. I hope Delores gets slapped with a lawsuit.
