Jessica Alba on Broadway? Stranger Things Have Happened...

You heard right -- Jessica Alba is being courted to play Karen, the naive secretary trying to make it big, in a revival of David Mamet's Hollywood satire Speed-the-Plow. The role was originated by Madonna in 1988, who at the time, like Alba, had no stage experience and the reviews punished her for it.

I polled the straight 20-something boys in our office (that's two) to see if they would hike it up to Broadway to see Alba (who is always at the top of Maxim's hottest women alive list, and they said "no," but they'd gladly grab drinks with her afterwards! Although, when I added she'd be playing a secretary they became a little more interested. These straight boys are hard to please!
