Maybe her brain is "invisible"

Two thoughts. She doesn't show herself to be too bright. And if her Uncle joined for reasons outlined below then he too isn't that bright.

Alba still feels relative unease over war in Iraq

A year after the normally apolitical Jessica Alba slammed President Bush's Iraq policy in an interview with me, she's still not a fan.

Her reason is the same: that her beloved uncle Nick Stanisci - a 44-year-old Army reservist who just came home from a long tour - is in danger of being sent back into harm's way.

"He just got back a few weeks ago, but I think he can be sent back there in 18 months," the Jacob the Jeweler-accessorized "Fantastic Four" star told me on rain-swept Liberty Island, where a choppy boat ride had left her - never mind her movie-superhero status - reeling from seasickness.

"I don't think he should be sent back," the 24-year-old Alba said. "He should stay home with his family."

Alba told me last year that Stanisci, a father of three and the husband of her dad's sister, signed up for the Army Reserve in California because "he's Northern Italian, and he heard he could get a free trip to Italy."

Instead, like thousands of other men and women on active duty and in the Reserves and National Guard, he got a free trip to a war zone.

"I just don't have a great feeling about what we're doing in Iraq," Alba told me last July. "I don't know why we're there."
