She may not have wanted the paps to take pictures of her while she was pregnant, but she sure is willing to cash in on the first photos of her new baby!

Jessica Alba is getting $1.5M from OK! magazine for the first photos of her daughter, Honor Marie.

That’s half of what they paid Matthew McConaughey!

I wonder if Jessica knew that when she settled on a price. She’s probably pissed now and realizes she could have held out for more.

And what’s with OK! and all the baby pics? It’s like their new marketing strategy is to hold a monopoly on celeb baby pics.

She’s getting huuuuuuuuuuge!!!

Here’s Jess picking up some take-out food in Hollywood, and talking on her cell phone, per usual.

I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with the Jessica Alba pregnancy. I don’t even find Jessica Alba particularly interesting, but for some reason I’m just glued to watching her baby bump grow. I am so, so weird.

Here’s Jessica Alba today outside a fine establishment called The Rug Company. I don’t think that’s a double entendre out of the photags who caption these things but you never know.

In other Alba news she held a baby shower yesterday at the Ever After Teahouse in Studio City. Her sister (Jaime King) and Rashida Jones (Jim’s other girlfriend on The Office) were in attendance.

The Menu?

• Skewers of tiger shrimp and chicken
• Mini doughnuts
• Cupcakes
• Strawberries dipped in white and dark chocolate
• White wine
• Lemonade
• Iced coffee
• Milkshakes

Man, take it easy on the sugar over there kids.

The only other development was this little nugget:

While most of the gifts were in yellow or green, Jessica reportedly told guests she is expecting a baby girl…. Jessica and Cash are rumoured to be naming their daughter Honor Warren.

Hmmm. Honor? For a girl? I’m skeptical. But I like when the Brits/Kiwis/Aussies throw in that extra O in rumour. Much more civilised.

Hide your face all you want.

We know it’s you.

And we see that baby bump, baby!!!!

Apparently she’s given up on trying to hide that bump from the paps.

I love it I love it I love it!

Thanks Christine!

Jessica Alba shows off that teensy-tiny bump as she does publicity for her new film, The Eye, in LA.

I saw this movie over the weekend — it was not my choice — and let me summarize the film for you guys:

Jessica Alba is blind. Then Jessica Alba is not blind. Now Jessica Alba sees dead people. Jessica Alba wears a white tank top. Jessica Alba takes a shower. Jessica Alba goes to Mexico. Jessica Alba saves the dead people. Then Jessica Alba is blind again. The end.

There. I saved you $10.

Check out Jessica Alba on the Today Show.

It’s getting bigger! It’s getting sooo much bigger!!!!

Is that a maternity dress? If it’s not, I can’t imagine why anyone who’s unpreggers would wear it. It’s like the least flattering shape ever.
