OlderJessica Alba Is Sweet On Sweden
Jessica Alba finishes up her singing and acting lessons on Tuesday (January 27) in Hollywood, Calif.
The 27-year-old actress took to her MySpace blog to defend herself after making comments when she asked a reporter what characteristic he liked most about new U.S. President Barack Obama. When he refused to answer on the basis that he was a journalist, she joked, “That’s it, be neutral. Be Sweden about it.”
Politically commentator Bill O’Reilly and TMZ then both made fun of Alba, insisting she meant Switzerland, not Sweden.
Alba then responded, “Last week, Mr. Bill O’Reilly and some really classy sites (i.e.TMZ) insinuated I was dumb by claiming Sweden was a neutral country. I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously people…it’s so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland.” Alba then referenced Wikipedia to support her claim.

sweden was/is indeed a neutral country!
You know she totally ran home and checked Wikipedia and breathed a huge sign of relief that she was kind of right after all. We know you are stupid Jessica, no matter what you say.
wiki – not exactly the last gasp in accuracy! she needs a better PR team.
If Sweden isn’t was/a neutral country, then what was/is the country that I live in? : )
One thing that I was thinking about is that when I was in the usa, and if somebody asked where I was from, I said Sweden and they were like “ohhh Switzerland!” Haha, I don’t have any words for that.. how stupid.
sweet, you naive americans?
SWEDEN & SWITSERLAND own her money, folks!!
(that’s the real reason)
Jessica Alba needs to be seen and not heard. That goes for her acting as well. Just stand there and look pretty Jessica, no need to screw it up by opening your mouth.
Sweden is a neutral country and the country in the world with the longest on-going peace!!
lol #2 so right! i bet that’s exactly what she did hhaha.
give it up already, jessica! you’re never going to convince the world you’re an intelligent serious actress
#2 That is the first thing that popped into my mind. First, when most people make that cliche of a statement, they do reference Switzerland since they are known for their neutral stance. Especially during WWII.
Second, wikipedia…really? You are going to quote a site where any one can contribute information. Regardless of the truth of the matter (Sweden is actually being neutral), we all know that is SO not what she meant.
Plus, who says A-Hole? Then laughs and giggles. Get an original thought, Alba. Or just a thought. Period.
Jessica is right, Sweden is a politically neutal country! I got that from an actual encylopedia!

I like her but she should just shut the f*ck up. It’s so obvious that she made a mistake.
Sometimes you look at someone and just know they got to be famous by a freaking lucky break.
She has a right to her opinion (which, by the way she was correct) just like everyone here does. Because some of you don’t like her doesn’t mean she’s stupid. I’m so glad she called Bill O’Reilly an ‘A-Hole’, which by the way alot of people still use the word ‘A-Hole’. Good for her!
Angelina: That’s most of Hollywood darlin. Lana Turner, the wonderful blonde actress was discovered at a Soda Fountain. LUCK is what Hollywood is ALL about.
Even if she really meant to say Sweden, which I doubt, it was a very poor example as Switzerland is the arch-typical neutral nation that people refer to in popular culture.
I love how some people think Americans are naive or stupid .I’ve lived in Europe for over 10 years and heard some of most ignorant things from them.FYI there are ignorant people everywhere!
Oh god, doesn’t matter how pretty she is, I find her more and more annoying.. no wonder numerous gossip sites report her as a FEMALE DOUCHE. I’m no Bush fan, but when the reporter asked for her last words to George W. Bush, she said ‘GOOD BYE’. Like wtf? She’s so snobby, so full of herself, such a douche!!!
I don’t care if she got Sweden right, She has a inflated ego…I hope she wins a razzie award
Ugh, WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE!!!!
Anyone can go in there and change it, that’s why most college professors ban the site from being a source!!
Aye yi yi…
that’s not the whole story! check out d-listed for the entire thing. tmz gives alba the FINAL smackdown! yea!
Ha, Ha…I know I’m right it says so on Wikipedia. Her comment just goes to show how stupid this bi*ch really is.
my school professor bans student from using wiki as site in any papers!!!
#20 so right! :)))

WOW! she is really stupid.
She’s right you know. I was born and raised in Sweden (my dad is Swedish) and they take great pride in the fact that they have been neutral in both world wars – 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. So kudos to Alba for that one!
(Btw, countries like Belgium were officially neutral during WW2 as well, Switzerland wasn’t the only one!)
