"I can't say it was a total accident," says Jessica Alba of her pregnancy, "Because you're aware of when you're being careful and when you're not. It just happened so soon. I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a woman has to fall in love with a guy just because they're having sex. I don't think sex is a big deal."

Is it just us, or do stars seem to not believe in birth control? How do you view Jessica’s stance on sex? [NY Daily News]

    I am sure some stars use birth control. It just seems popular right now for women to have babies. Jessica has all kinds of money- she has emotional support and it isn't our business to decide when someone should have a baby. Even everyday people have ooops babies once in a while, who are we to judge.

    I think it's irresponsible of her to say that actually, what is that saying to our teen daughters who look to these people for the cool factor.

    I THINK ALL STARS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT'S ON THEY'RE MIND, LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON IN THIS WORLD, & HAVE SOME PRIVACY AS WELL. I LIKE HER(SO DOES MY HUBBY) BUT WHEN YOUR AS LOOKED AT TODAY, BY OTHER GIRLS AS A ROLE MODEL,BECAUSE OF YOUR BEUATY & TALENT, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS BE A LITTLE MORE LADY LIKE ABOUT THE TOPIC OF SEX & PREGNANCY,

    IT SHOULDN'T BE OK ~NOT~ TO WORRY ABOUT IT SEX, W/ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT CAN COME FROM IT, NOT EVERYONE CAN BE FINANCIALLY SET TO NOT WORRY HOW TO RAISE A CHILD, LET ALONE WORRY ABOUT AIDS!

    when I read Jessica Alba's comment I was a little surprised she was so casual about "sex" because it is a very big deal however since she does not have children herself yet that may be one reason she is so casual about it. I do believe that once she has this baby she will have a change of heart. I don't think she is a bad person for saying this...I do however think we all need to be so careful of what we say because our children are watching and listening. I liked what A.D.S had to say....celebrities are looked today and set on higher standards by our children and so this means celebrities have to be so much more careful that the words they speak are positive especially regarding sex because it's a very big deal. I know for one I would not want my daughter thinking that sex is ok and no big....instead I'm teaching her it is a sacred thing between a man and wife. Have a blessed day to all and remember no matter how a child is birthed God still considers them blessings from above!

    I feel bad that someone just gets into the biz because they love acting and when they find success...they're automatically thrust into part of role model - like it or not. Can you imagine if we had to live as they do - with every outfit, purchase, friend we hang with, look on our face, and comment we make scrutinized and picked apart by the public? Granted the piles of money softens the blow from that inconvenience ;)

    I just feel bad that they're supposed to make "manicured" comments so that everyone that looks up to them will have a positive reaction. Although before marriage I was always a HUGE stickler for birth control of one type or another...I actually agree with Jessica. I never found sex to be a big deal. I never felt you need to be "in love" to do it, and I can't imagine the expectation that both parties are virgins on the wedding night.

    The difference is...MY comments won't be picked apart by every entertainment news site or tv show around! I predict she'll have to make an apology or qualify her comments in the near future...whether she should have to or not.

    I also agree with A.B.S....chances are her views will change when she has a child.

    These sound like the words of an immature young woman who has been sexualized most of her life. They also sound like the words of a woman who takes very little seriously and who is blind to the great priviledges she has been given in life. I am sorry but it is absurd to say movie stars are "regular people" and should be held to regular standards. Even ignoring the fame, the simple fact that they make so much money demands a greater social responsibility. Furthermore, if she had any sense at all, she would recognize that (fairly or unfairly) her words will be immortalized by the media. I pity that child who will one day grow up and read the things Miss Alba had to say about him or her while in utero. "Oh great Ma... guess I was a pretty big whoops."

    I think she is being honest. If I were her I wouldn't have answered that question because really it's no ones business what she does behind closed doors. As far as other hollywood stars? Who cares. And from the looks of it - they're all pregnant lately. Pregnancy is the "in" thing in hollywood. Babies are the new accessory.

    I really don't care if anyone of them is using birth control but hope they're all using condoms. And practicing safe sex. Pregnancy is one thing. Transmitted diseases is another. That I'd be very much concerned with.

    I used to think that Jessica Alba was a pretty good person. but now, i dont think thaat all. I personally think she got pregnet because almost everyone is getting pregnet, and she's just goin with the flow.(which isnt all that bad, but in this case, it is) and, that makes her a bad role model. i would never follow in her footsteps.

    and also, i agree with A.B.S also, she defintaly change her mind when she has that baby. its not all the fun that its made up to be. there are always downsides to EVERYTHING.

    she's quite a confused lil star.First in the past she has been ral vocal and bitter about her christian background.So of course she'd be confused about how sex before marriage can damage ones future outlook on being married to a decent man that isn't looking for a play thing.

    The worse thing about he article is that shes confusing these under aged teens that look too her as there role model.Actors and musicians need to really think before they speak .Because what sounds to them as intelliengetn thought really comes out as nonsense jibberish. An too say pre-maritial sex should be right is WRONG. TO say if a man can be a sexual freak a woman should be able to BED down as many MEN she wnats is WRONG. Don't no man want o marry or date a woman with a tunnel for a vagina.an women get more seual issues from them misusing htere bodies in pre-marital sex.We get cervical diseases and etc., and it messes with ayou mentally becasue of guilt.No woman caneally cut off teh emotions to have wild free willing one night stands.An thos that say they can are in denial and lying to themselves.
