Jessica Alba Big Ups LCD Soundsystem
Next you're gonna tell me Scarlett Johansson is a Tom Waits fan
Carl Reiner loves "The Office"!. Ocean's 13's Bernie Mac loves his Oceans 13 castmate Don Cheadle! Dane Cook loves to suck all the humor out of a roomStephen King! And, as Entertainment Weekly's "We've Gotta Have It!" Celebrity 'Must List' tells us, Jessica Alba loves LCD Soundsystem!
"They just know how to do great music, great lyrics, great everything," Jessica recently opined to the cultural boilerplate about her new fave rave. "Not many rock n' roll bands are that talented." Agreed! She then added, "and I'm going to start to read some Philip Roth. American Pastoral, I started last night. It's pretty dense." Yeah, it totally won, like, a Pulitzer and everything.
Score another one for a hip band landing on the lips of a hot celebrity; first, it was Dave Matthews telling Rolling Stone that he's a Xiu Xiu fan, then John McClane himself Bruce Willis expressed a fondness for Architecture in Helsinki. Come to think of it, I guess that "yippie-ki-ay" thing does sorta sound like an AIH lyric.
You may very well catch Jessica (and James, if you care to turn your head) on these here dates.
