_________________________________________________________________________________

     Frazzled and baffled by the stalking of photographer, Curt Snaze; Jessica Alba, who recently starred in the comedy/drama packed movie, "It's Not What it Looks Like"--has sued Snaze for trespassing; on September 20th, 2010. Court will be held in Las Angeles, date is soon to be announced due to undetermined court dates.

     “I kept on noticing the photographer everywhere. I noticed he began stalking me while I was taking a week off to be with my daughter, Honor Marie, in Las Angeles. I was patient at first—understanding that it is only their job to do so. Except, yesterday it had went to far when he attempted to break in. It was the worst thing that has happened to me ever out of the media situations I've been through. They're pushing their limits—it needs to end, soon hopefully.” Alba spoke with a calm yet serious tone. Media has went to far over the past couple of years. The increasing percentage of celebrity/media conflicts end up in courts to resolve to an end on a normal basis now-a-days. “I was just doing my job. It shouldn't be me getting sued. It should be my boss getting sued.” Snaze tells us with concern.

^ I advise to you that you shouldn't hang out with this person. I don't know why
he seems polite. :D
