El reconocido fotógrafo peruano Mario Testino esta vez posó su lente sobre la bella actriz Jessica Alba para dar forma al calendario de la famosa bebida alcohólica Campari, en una edición limitada de 9 mil 999 copias, que este año cumple con su décima presentación ininterrumpida.

La protagonista de las imágenes, Jessica Alba, ha explicado que no le resultó difícil personificar a la "mujer fatal" de Campari. "La visión de Mario y Jean-Paul Goude me lo puso muy fácil. Esta es la primera vez que he trabajado con ellos, pero crean una atmósfera que uno sólo puede imaginarse en sueños. Soy una gran admiradora de su trabajo y espero volver a tener la oportunidad de compartir con ellos", dijo la actriz.

Jessica Alba anuncia compromiso con padre de su hijo por nacer

2007-12-28T07:32:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jessica Alba, quien está embarazada de su primer hijo, se comprometió con su novio de mucho tiempo Cash Warren, anunció el jueves el representante de la actriz estadounidense.

Alba, de 26 años, mejor conocida por sus interpretaciones en la serie de televisión "Dark Angel" o en el filme "Fantastic Four," fue fotografiada durante los festejos de Navidad con un muy valioso anillo en su dedo.

El representante Brad Cafarelli dijo que la pareja se había comprometido, aunque no dio mas detalles.

Alba conoció a Warren en el 2004 durante la filmación de "Fantastic Four," donde él era asistente de dirección. Desde entonces Warren se dedicó a la producción.

Alba había confirmado a comienzos de este mes que esperaba un hijo de Warren. El nacimiento se espera para comienzos del verano boreal del 2008.

Jessica Alba trailer de "The Eye"

2007-11-07T20:33:00.001-08:00

Estas imágenes pertenecen a ‘The Eye‘, remake de la película del 2002 dirigida por los hermanos Pang, y que en esta versión norteamericana cuenta con la participación de Jessica Alba, quien interpreta a una violinista ciega a la cual le hacen un transplante de córneas que le permitirá ver por primera vez desde su niñez.

Pero el problema es que esta empieza a experimentar visiones de almas en pena que deambulan entre este mundo y otro más allá, lo que la empieza a llevar hasta la locura mientras busca a quien le pertenecían los ojos que le pusieron. Una trama más que interesante pero igual hay que esperar ya que esos remakes de películas de terror japonesas no suelen dar buenos resultados.

La película se encuentra dirigida por los franceses David Moreau y Xavier Palud quienes tienen planificado estrenar la película el 1 de Febrero del 2008.

Jessica Alba at the MTV Movie Awards

The incredibly stunning Jessica Alba on the red carpet of the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.

Jessica Alba quiere dejar de ser “chica sexy”

2007-11-07T07:25:00.000-08:00

La actríz protagonista de la película “Los 4 fantásticos y el deslizador de plata” dijo que quiere dejar de ser la chica sexy y buscará personajes más complejos, además se declaró admiradora de Steve McQueen y del grupo The Beatles.

“Si tienes una buena figura hay quien supone que no tienes cerebro o idea del mundo. Creen que solo puedes ser hot y que la única forma de abrirte camino es usando tu cuerpo”, comentó la actriz, quien participa actualmente en el rodaje del filme “The eye”.

Luego de incursionar en el mundo del espectáculo como modelo y pasar a la televisión con la serie “The new adventures of flipper” donde aparecía en traje de baño, dijo que su figura la hizo adelantarse a su edad. “Tuve curvas desde chiquita”

En entrevista con la revista InStyle puntualizó que: “Lo que he aprendido en este negocio es que no hay nada más importante que te crean capaz de llevar gente a las salas de cine (…) Me encanta mi trabajo y me realizo con él, pero creo que un balance siempre es bueno”.

Jessica Alba filma actualmente a las afueras de Albuquerque, Nuevo México, la película “The eye” y pronto iniciará el rodaje de la secuela de “Sin City”, ya que el autor, Frank Miller, prometió que volvería a encarnar el popular papel de “Nancy”.

En la entrevista con la revista, que dedicó además su portada del mes de julio a la actriz de 26 años, comentó que en el filme “The eye”, su personaje está muy alejado de ser un símbolo sexual, pues está más dirigido a la parte dramática.

Reconoció que después de nueve meses de trabajo se siente muy cansada, pero disfruta el rodaje ya que en esa película interpreta a una mujer ciega que recibe un transplante de córneas y empieza a sufrir visiones.

Recordó que a los 12 años comenzó a inclinarse por la actuación, pero la situación económica de su familia era tan difícil que a veces ni siquiera podían comprar gasolina para llevarla a las audiciones.

“Toda mi niñez tuvimos problemas económicos (…) Estar siempre preocupados por el dinero no es nada bonito”, pero finalmente cuando contaba con 21 años, el director James Cameron la eligió para protagonizar la serie “Dark angel”.

“De niña me cambié 11 veces de escuela, por eso siempre fue la niña nueva. Era medio solitaria y no muy sociable. No me juntaba con ningún grupito”.

Consideró que no es una persona que conviva mucho aunque si le gustaría formar una familia y tener niños. “Estoy mucho tiempo de viaje, lo que es una vida poco convencional. Si encontrara una pareja sería mejor, pero definitivamente quiero bebés en mi vida”.

Alba señaló que le llama la atención el ex congresista de Tennessee, Harold Ford Jr. a quien calificó como un hombre “adorable”.

“Me gusta alguien que esté dispuesto a evolucionar. Creo que eso es muy importante. Alguien que este abierto a los cambios y que sepa que sólo puedes ser feliz si creces como persona. Yo estoy aprendiendo eso, y aunque tenga ya muchas respuestas siempre hay otra experiencia que te hace abrir los ojos hacia un mundo mejor.

Mis papás son un ejemplo de amor incondicional para mi, porque puedes tener tus altas y bajas en una relación, pero hay que hacer un esfuerzo por seguir con ella. Aprendí mucho de eso y creo que ese tipo de amor es posible. Mis papás hicieron un compromiso para siempre y eso es justo lo que yo quiero”.

Destacó que su icono favorito de Hollywood es el extinto actor Steve McQueen ya que era un hombre “brutal, guapo, salvaje, fuerte e impredecible”.

En la entrevista con InStyle agregó que durante el rodaje de “The eye” escuchó mucha música francesa y jazz, pero además le gustan Beatles, Elton John, Cat Power y Peaches, así como el hip hop y el dance brasileño.

Jessica Alba, quien compró su primera casa a los 21 años, comentó que le gustan los muebles y cocinar, por lo que en sus ratos libres agrega detalles de teca y bambú.

“El estilo es como franco-indonesio, pero también tengo algunas piezas de Africa, China y Bali”.

Jessica Alba 'Hasn't Worked Out In Months'

Jessica Alba doesn't pay attention to news about her weight, in fact, she doesn't diet at all.

"I don't listen to it. I don't read it," she told PEOPLE about the speculation that she has recently lost weight. "I think it would make me crazy if I did."

Alba, 26, looked fit at the annual Fashion Rocks concert in New York Thursday night, but denied doing anything to get her body the way it is. "I haven't really worked out in two months, but I do like to do yoga. I'm not on a diet. "

The winner of the female hottie award at the Teen Choice Awards does, however, admit to one healthy habit: "I drink a lot of water."

The actress told Instyle magazine this spring that she "had womanly curves at a young age," which she says dictated her early career. "Usually kid actors are a few years older than the roles they play. I was two or three years younger."

For Alba, her priorities are clear. "I just try to do a good job and keep people entertained with the movies that I do."

Jessica Alba video interview about Four fantastic 2

2007-10-18T18:35:00.000-07:00

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a 2007 superhero film, and sequel to the 2005 film Fantastic Four. Both films are based on the comic book of the same name. The film was directed by Tim Story, who also directed the original. Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis, Julian McMahon and Kerry Washington reprised their roles from the first film. Doug Jones and Beau Garrett appear in the sequel as the Silver Surfer and Frankie Raye, respectively, along with Laurence Fishburne as the voice of the Silver Surfer. It was released June 15, 2007, in North America, and was released onto DVD on October 2, 2007. It was rated PG by the MPAA for sequences of action violence, some mild language and innuendo.The actual on-screen title of the film is 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

This is a interwiev about 4 fantastic and silver surfer, in this interwiev appear our jessica alba and Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards)

Set two years after the first film, Reed Richards and Sue Storm are preparing for their wedding (this is apparently their second attempt at marriage as their first wedding ceremony was interrupted by an undisclosed event). A silver object enters Earth's atmosphere, radiating cosmic energy that creates massive molecular fluctuations and causes deep craters at locations across the Earth. The government approaches Reed to build a sensor to track the movements of the object. Reed rejects this request saying that he needs to focus on his wedding with Sue. However, he builds the sensor in secret and activates it just before the wedding.

As the wedding begins, Reed's sensor detects the phenomenon approaching New York City, causing a massive power blackout. The object destroys the sensor while the Fantastic Four protect the crowd from an out-of-control helicopter. The Human Torch pursues the object, discovering that it is a humanoid, a "Silver Surfer". He confronts the Surfer, only to be dragged into the upper atmosphere. After his flame snuffs out, the Surfer drops him back towards Earth, but he reactivates his powers and survives the fall. Reed's examination reveals that exposure to the Surfer has set Johnny's molecular structure in flux, allowing him to switch powers with his teammates through physical contact. Tracing the cosmic energy of the Surfer, Reed discovers that a series of planets the alien had visited before Earth have all been destroyed.
The Surfer's movements around the globe bring him past Latveria, where the cosmic energy affects Victor Von Doom, freeing him from two years as a metal statue. Doom, able to move again and returned to a disfigured human form, traces the Surfer to Greenland and makes him an offer to join forces. When the Surfer rebuffs him, Doom attacks. The Surfer returns fire, blasting Doom through the ice. The cosmic energy of the Surfer's blast heals Doom's body, reversing the changes seen in the first film. At this time the Fantastic Four travel to London to face the Surfer but one of the newly built craters leads to the London Eye falling. The Fantastic Four succeed in saving the situation but the Surfer flies away while Fantastic Four are occupied.
Meanwhile, Doom leverages his experience into a deal with the American military, who force the Fantastic Four to work with him. Deducing that the Surfer's board is the source of his power, the group develops a pulse generator that will separate him from it. While setting up the device in the Black Forest, Sue is confronted by the Surfer, during which he reveals he is only a servant to the destroyer of worlds. The military opens fire on the Surfer, distracting him, allowing the four to fire the pulse and separate the Surfer from his board.
The military imprisons the Surfer in Siberia and forbids the Fantastic Four from interacting with him, while they torture him for information. Sue uses her powers to sneak into his cell, where she learns more information from the Surfer. He tells her his master was known by the people of his world as Galactus, a massive cloud-like cosmic entity which must feed on life-bearing planets to survive, and that his board is a homing beacon which even now summons him to the planet.
Doom, pursuing the power in the board, steals it from the compound, using a device to gain control of the board and its powers. The Fantastic Four rescue the Surfer, and pursue Doom in the Fantasticar. Doom, however, is too strong for the Fantastic Four and they crash land in Shanghai. During the battle, Sue is mortally wounded. With the Surfer powerless, Johnny absorbs the combined powers of the entire team in order to battle the cosmic energy-empowered Doom. Johnny succeeds in breaking Doom's control over the Surfer's board, while Ben Grimm uses a nearby crane to knock Doom into the harbor where he is last seen sinking; however, Galactus has already arrived. The Surfer regains the control of his board, and his power is restored. He revives Sue and chooses to defend Earth by flying into Galactus and confronting him. The conflict results in a massive blast of energy, seemingly killing Galactus in the process.
The film ends with Reed and Sue marrying in Japan, in traditional Japanese wedding attire; they are again called back to action when Venice is threatened.
The credits cut back to a shot of the Silver Surfer's seemingly lifeless body floating through space. Just as he drifts off the edge of the screen his eyes open and his board races towards him.

JESSICA’S BODY OF WORK

2007-10-02T05:51:00.001-07:00

If you’re going to sit in Jessica Alba’s kitchen and eat her waffles; if you’re going to head downstairs to the rec room to check out her single-malt-scotch collection (impressive for a 26-year-old) or the tasteful Kama Sutra wood carving that her parents don’t approve of; if you’re going to follow her into the spare bedroom and, at her urging, jump on the TurboSonic vibration-training apparatus that she won at an awards show (“How weird is that?” she asks, cracking up as she flips a switch so you shake like a jackhammer operator); if you’re going to do all this and still hope to get a straight answer to your one tough question—you still with What’s-his-name, the director’s-assistant guy?—then at some point, you’ll have to look at this bikini problem through her eyes.

Because men are sneaky, and bikinis, it seems, are the instrument of their sneakiness.

When Alba signed on to the 2005 movie Into the Blue, for example, she was all set to play a marine-biology student—the sort of woman smart enough to wear a wet suit when scuba diving. “But then the people in charge decided to dumb it down,” she says, as we sit side by side on barstools at her kitchen counter, adding fresh berries and maple syrup to our waffles. “And all of a sudden, the wet suits went away.” Before Alba even showed up, the quick-thinking boys in production shot a slew of underwater scenes with her double dressed only in a bikini. “I had to match what they’d already shot,” she says. “If I’d bitched about the change, I would’ve been called a diva. I can’t say it was the first time that ever happened. And I can’t say it’ll be the last.”

Alba spent a hefty part of her adolescence around water, bathing suits, and the roving eyes of professionals—from ages 12 to 15, she worked as a series regular on The New Adventures of Flipper—so none of this comes as a surprise. As we talk, she keeps tugging the long sleeves of her knit shirt down over her hands, a gesture I can’t help but notice because it has a dual effect: It makes her appear more vulnerable and sincere, but it also transforms her workout top into something much sexier, a sort of Oscar-party off-the-shoulder look. She gets up to go to the espresso machine, still talking about men and their relentless eyeballing. “When you see the camera right here,” she says, looking down at her black yoga bell-bottoms and moving her arms into a flagman’s V, “you’re like, ‘Uh, that’s my crotch… I’m going to stand over here.’ You know? Cameramen are just horny sometimes.”

Isn’t that why they’re cameramen?

She gives the notion a more indulgent spin—“so they can capture beauty, and they can capture…”—and then she takes a long pause, during which she smiles and refrains from enumerating precisely what it is about her that guys with cameras are always trying to capture. It all seems to amuse her, but her strongest reaction to being the subject of so much attention (if attention is the right word for all those screen grabs and beach-vacation telephoto shots on the Internet) is to plunge into work. She has six movies coming out, a festival’s worth of Albacinephilia that includes this summer’s Fantastic Four sequel and Good Luck Chuck, a sex farce with extended servings of ’70s-style jiggle and raunch (alas, none of it Alba’s). It’s a surge of productivity that could help movie execs, as she wryly puts it, in “getting past my hotness.” Because ridiculous as it sounds, her hotness has apparently closed a few doors. “Right now,” she says, “I’m just exploring what my contribution to this business is—other than wearing a bikini and getting caught by the paparazzi.”

*****

Alba’s waffles are excellent, by the way—she makes them from scratch, talking easily, the way someone who knows her way around a kitchen does. She laughs so much it catches me a bit off guard. Before coming to brunch, I’d seen nearly everything she has done—“Oh, I’m so sorry,” she says with a smile—and for whatever reason, she has rarely had to laugh in her early roles. Except for a few bikini scenes, it’s been pretty much the same broody persona ever since her breakthrough performance as Max Guevara, an ass-kicking avenger with a trace of feline DNA, on Fox’s 2000 cult hit Dark Angel. For a while, the then 19-year-old Alba was everywhere, staring out of billboards with a predatory expressionlessness, her lips—an overendowment that was hers alone, in the way that Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez might lay claim to other reaches of the anatomy—turned down in a natural pout.

In person, the pout is nonexistent. So is the aloofness. Alba keeps the TV in her kitchen set to a news channel on mute, and within seconds of my arrival a segment on the day’s bombings in Baghdad prompts a fierce broadside about “kids that are dying in Iraq” and the sitting president’s policies that are like a “fuck-you to people with families.” Alba knows what she’s talking about: She comes from working-class military people and grew up on air-force bases in Mississippi and Texas before settling in California. Her parents were young when they had her, she tells me, and her father joined the military to make ends meet. When they met, her dad, a second-generation Mexican-American, looked like Erik Estrada, and her mom resembled Farrah Fawcett. This goes a long way in explaining Alba’s look: part Mexican, part Scandinavian, and all ’70s heartthrob.

Although she has worked steadily since she was 12, eventually living in Florida, Australia, Vancouver, Borneo, and so on, she stays close to her parents, who now live just a few minutes away. She brings them with her to awards shows, where, inevitably, the clan is seated with all the Latin people. “So there we were,” she says. “Marc Anthony was there, and George Lopez starts speaking to my father in Spanish, and my dad says, ‘I don’t speak Mexican.’ I turned purple. Like, ‘Dad, how can you even make that comment?’ ” She softens immediately. “I love my papa. But he has no filter. I probably acquired that characteristic from him.”

The long-form version of Alba’s heritage is something like Mexican-Spanish-Danish-French-Canadian-American. She just calls it “mixed,” and it has allowed her to fulfill a sort of one-woman color-blind casting policy. She has played a Greek, a Czech, a Brit-Malaysian, a Puerto Rican. She’s believable playing “genetically enhanced” or “gifted with superpowers as the result of an encounter with a cosmic storm,” but she still worries that executives and casting agents will pigeonhole her talents. So she’s taken a lot of ill-advised work—like Honey, playing a Bronx choreographer with a heart of gold, and Paranoid, playing a model—as a sort of antidote to whatever big blockbuster gigs she had going.

Alba’s work ethic is one reason you don’t read much about her in the gossip pages. The most lived-in items I see in her house are the three beat-up suitcases piled in a corner of her otherwise spotless garage, and all this travel seems to be expanding her range. In Good Luck Chuck, she does charmingly klutzy for the first time, pulling off the film’s scripted slapstick routines with action-star flair. The best bit of business, though, is something she made up herself: running back to Chuck’s convertible, she vaults exuberantly into the passenger seat, bonks her head on the gearshift, and immediately resurfaces with a big goofy smile. “Everybody was like, ‘You did that on purpose?’ ” she says. “And I was like, ‘Did it work?’ ”

Alba’s starting to get serious parts, too. She says that she’ll be reprising her role as the pure-hearted stripper Nancy Callahan for Sin City 2 and that Frank Miller is writing new material to expand her character. Two of her upcoming movies she took over from other actresses: Long before production began on The Eye, a Tom Cruise-produced remake of a Hong Kong supernatural ﬁlm, Renée Zellweger left the role that Alba later signed on to play. And last summer, after Lindsay Lohan walked away from the film Bill, Alba took over her part. “I wanted to work with Aaron Eckhart,” she tells me.

In many ways, this makes sense: Alba might just be the anti-Lohan. She’s utterly reliable, free of psychodrama, an unlikely candidate for rehab. Whatever she’s wearing, you can be certain it will not malfunction. When we talk, she insists on showing off just how normal, dorky, and tidy her daily life is—the pink KitchenAid mixer, the silver-framed photos of boyfriend Cash Warren. All this personal discretion gives her a throwback quality on-screen, and it’s an essential part of her mystique and her movie-star persona. “The movie business gives a lot of people power—not always the right people,” she says. “But you can tell who to trust. You can tell when people have the right thing in mind and when they’re just pricks for prick’s sake. And in all honesty, for the sake of art or a great movie, you still have to hold on to your dignity and who you are. If you lose that to be in a great movie? That’s your journey, not mine. Life’s too fucking short.”

*****

We’ll know exactly what this life-is-short philosophy looks like in theaters by the end of the summer. For now, I can tell you what it looks like on the road: scary. After breakfast, we set out in Alba’s week-old Prius to take her dogs—a bulldog, Bowie, and a pug, Sid—for a walk, and she handles the deserted canyon roads in a decidedly un-Prius-like manner. “A while back, I was looking for a sports car,” she says, “and I went to all the dealerships and asked for the most souped-up cars in my price range. I took them out to Mulholland and spun them all out.” She finally settled on a BMW M3, because it hugged the road when she cranked the wheel and put her foot on the gas. That was two cars ago, but she’s driving now as if performing a sense-memory exercise.

When she stops the car, we’re parked at the bottom of a mountain. Bowie and Alba take off up a trail, and I follow with Sid, who drags me through the chaparral. After a short climb, Alba lets Sid off the leash—for Sid’s sake or mine, I’m not sure—and we continue ducking through the brush, scrambling after the dogs. “Oh, Sid!” she says, when we come upon the pug taking a dump right in the middle of the trail.

Alba is still playing the gracious hostess, gesturing at the brambles and sandy switchbacks above us apologetically: “I didn’t know we were doing this, by the way.” A few hundred vertical feet later, we reach the top, and I say the only sane thing there is to say about the view: “Omigod.”

“Crazy, right?” she says, “Isn’t that nuts?”

From the summit, you can look across the canyon to Beverly Park, a gated community just off Mulholland. From a mile or so away, the place looks ridiculous, crowded and grandiose at once, as if all the French nobility decided to build their castles on the same mountaintop. When I ask whether she could see herself in something like that, Alba demurs, but she doesn’t criticize it, either—she has worked for and socialized with some of the Hollywood titans who live there. “I suppose it could be ideal, if you make a buttload of money,” she says, trailing off. She considers her own neighborhood and its hilltop views of Los Angeles as “really superdorky,” and she happily distinguishes it from more fashionable hilltops nearby, “where all the other little star people live.”

We sit on the sandy top, and Alba takes advantage of the view to try out some big thoughts. She dismisses her professional restlessness as a thing of the past and pronounces herself happy with who she is right now. “I don’t expect other people to do the work for me,” she says. “I want variety, and I’ve done that. And I guess my arms are open to whatever’s next.” It’s just a dog walk on a sunny Friday, a moment to relax at the start of her first week off after months on sets, but here she is, hammering out a personal credo and making a quiet point: What could possibly be wrong with being both hot and serious? You get the impression that whatever Alba does—whether it’s a superhero franchise or playing along with a photo shoot—she knows exactly what she’s doing.

Alba claims to be clumsy, so I lead the way down the mountain. “I fell so many times on The Eye, the crew there would get embarrassed for me,” she says. “When I first met Alessandro”—Nivola, her costar on the movie—“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.”

We reach the parking lot without incident. Back behind the wheel of the Prius, Alba turns onto the empty road, and as she accelerates, she tugs on her sleeves again, revealing her bare shoulders with that same Flashdance gesture I’d seen in the morning.

This time, I call her on it.

“Are your hands cold?” I ask.

“It’s just a nervous habit,” she says. “Thank you for making me aware of it.” Her words are kind, but they nevertheless convey a slight edge—something like “Don’t you try that bikini thing on me, too, buddy.”

But then she laughs again, and as she slaloms wildly back down Mulholland, she talks about putting a hole in her sleeve for her thumb, so she can just keep it that way.

Jessica Marie Alba, "la perla blanca" (Pomona, California, 28 de abril de 1981) es una actriz estadounidense. Ha intervenido en películas como: Los cuatro fantásticos (2005 / 2007),El Lenguaje de los Sueños, (2004), Honey (2003), El diablo metió la mano (1999) y Sin City (2005). También ha intervenido en algunas series de televisión, entre ellas Dark Angel y Flipper

Jessica Alba y su familia se trasladaron a Biloxi, Mississippi, cuando ella era aún una niña. Tres años más tarde, su padre, miembro de las Fuerzas Aéreas, decidió volver a California, para más tarde ir a Del Río, Tejas, antes de asentarse finalmente en el sur de California; Jessica contaba entonces con nueve años.

Encaprichada con la idea de ser actriz desde que tenía cinco años, no fue hasta los doce cuando tomó su primer clase de actuación. Nueve meses más tarde, fue contratada por un agente de cine. Jessica, una joven actriz llena de talento, ha interpretado ya una gran variedad de papeles, que abarcan desde la comedia hasta el drama, desde que empezó su carrera profesional.

Hizo su primer papel en 1993 en la comedia Camp Nowhere (1994). Contratada en principio por dos semanas, tuvo su gran oportunidad cuando una actriz protagonista abandonó su papel repentinamente. Jessica admite que no fue su prodigioso talento o su encanto lo que hizo al director decantarse por ella para reemplazarla, sino su pelo, muy parecido al de la actriz original. Así, el trabajo de dos semanas se alargó a dos meses y Jessica terminó la película con un primer reconocimiento impresionante.

Empezó a trabajar por su cuenta en la televisión en 1994 con un papel repetitivo en la popular serie cómica de Nickelodeon The Secret World of Alex Mack (1994). Interpretó a una chica insoportable dedicada a hacerle la vida imposible a la protagonista, interpretada por Larisa Oleynik. Ese mismo año, consiguió el papel de Maya en Flipper (1995) y grabó el capítulo piloto para la serie. Pasó todo el año grabando la primera temporada de episodios en Australia.

En 1996 apareció en Venus Rising (1995) como Young Eve. En 1997 apareció en The Dini Petty Show (1989), un espectáculo canadiense, y habló sobre su papel en Flipper y su carrera como actriz en general. Empezó, en 1998, a trabajar en P.U.N.K.S. (1999). Poco después, en 1998, apareció como Melissa en Brooklyn South (1997). El mismo año apareció en dos episodios de Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) como Leanne, y en dos episodios de The Love Boat: The Next Wave (1998). Apareció en Teen Magazine en 1995 y en varias revistas europeas durante los siguientes años, incluso fue portada de Vanity Fair en febrero de 1999. Además, consiguió papeles importantes en dos películas ese mismo año: Nunca me han besado (1999) y El Diablo metió la mano (1999). En el año 2000 consiguió también papeles en Paranoia (2000) y Dark Angel (2000)

Jessica, gran nadadora y buceadora con el certificado PADI, tuvo el placer de hacer un show que le permitió jugar con los delfines. El éxito de la serie hizo posible una segunda temporada, que también protagonizó. Su implicación en la serie duró desde 1995 hasta 1997. Desde que la serie terminó, Jessica ha aparecido en numerosos espectáculos y películas en la televisión.

En cuanto a sus amores, estuvo saliendo con Michael Weatherly durante el rodaje de la serie Dark Angel con tan solo 19 años, incluso llegando a comprometerse para el matrimonio, pero la diferencia de edad entre los actores hizo que terminaran rompiendo, despues de ésta no tuvo ninguna relación importante hasta encontrarse con el productor Cash Warren con el que está actualmente, lo dejaron durante un mes en agosto del 2007 pero decidieron darse una nueva oportunida y a dia de hoy siguen juntos.
