Answer Key:
1. D Her full name is Jessica Marie Alba. And no, she’s never been called JA dawg.
2. D Jessica was born in 1981 in Pomona, California. When she was still a baby her family moved to Bolixi, Mississippi. Three years later they moved backed to California, then to Del Rio, Texas, before settling in Southern California where Jessica did most of her growing up.
3. D In the 1993 film, Camp Nowhere, Jessica was originally hired on for a mere two weeks. But, by a stroke of luck the actress in the lead role dropped out and Jessica stepped in. Although, she openly admits that the only reason she got the part was because her hair matched the first performer’s tresses.
4. D In 1995 Jessica got the role of Maya in the popular TV series Flipper. She spent all of ’95 shooting the first season episodes in Australia. As a strong swimmer and PADI-certified scuba diver she was thrilled to get a gig where she could work with dolphins every day.
5. D Jessica has been on Maxim‘s Hot 100 List from 2001-2008 six times. She was named #1 in 2001, #5 in 2002, #5 again in 2005, #2 in 2006, #2 again in 2007, and takes a recent dive as #34 in 2008.
6. D Jessica reveals all that she loves and hates on her MySpace Celebrity Blog, including her love of board games. She comments: “I know, super cool right?”
7. C Honor Marie Warren was born in Los Angeles and is this couple’s first child. Marie is also Jessica’s middle name. As for why she chose the name Honor, Pamela Redmond Satran, coauthor of baby-naming guides Cool Names and The Baby Name Bible, tells Usmagazine.com, “My guess is that Jessica Alba, going through life as one of several trendily-named ‘Jessicas’ in any room, was looking for a name that was both classic and unusual.” The actress has yet to comment as to why the couple chose that name.
8. A In an interview with Fit Pregnancy, Jessica says she wants to be a tough, yet nurturing mom. She adds that: “It’s going to be about treading that line.”
9. A It was reported that Jessica and Cash’s wedding surprised even good friends. She and Cash did a quick courthouse marriage on May 19th of this year.
10. C Jessica’s husband, Cash, is co-founder of ibeatyou.com with basketball star Baron Davis. Jessica has been featured on the website lip synching to Panic at the Disco’s song Nine in the Afternoon and competing in an online staring contest.
11. A Jessica wrote a letter to her younger self, for the book If I’d Known Then, about being called a “slut” by her elementary school principal and a few PTA mommies. The event that spurred the name-calling? She had kissed a boy when she was seven so he would pick her for her neighbourhood baseball team. She writes: “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.”
12. A Jessica says: “I just don’t do nudity. I just don’t. Maybe that makes me a bad actress. But I have too much anxiety.” In 2005 Jessica had a dispute with Playboy Magazine. The publication printed a cover of a bikini-clad Jessica on their March 2006 issue hinting that she posed naked for a spread inside the magazine. Hugh Hefner made a public apology and donated money to two charities that Jessica supports, Keep A Child Alive and Until There’s A Cure.
13. A Jessica went to strip clubs to research her role in Sin City as Nancy Callahan.
14. A The Sanskrit word for “lotus” is on the inside of Jessica’s wrist.

16. Bonus- D Although Jessica’s not dating anymore as a happily married woman, she has been paparazzied on the arms of Michael Weatherly (2001-2003), Wilmer Valderrama (2003) and Mark Wahlberg (2003-2004).

Mostly B’s: Novice You are way off the mark. You need to bone-up on your celebrity tidbits and gossip. And stop reading The National Inquirer, it’s not the most reliable source.
Mostly C’s: Beginner Your celebrity knowledge may come second or third hand and is for the most part misinformed.
Mostly D’s: Expert You sure are a celebrity know-it-all. You should seriously consider a career as a celerity gossip columnist.
