As for Alba, one can agree that even celebrities fall victim to the age old thinking of "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence." However, the grass is not greener on the other side, it is greener where the grass has been watered. It's safe to say Michelle Rodriguez did a lot of "watering" on her "grass."
As for the nude shower scene Alba was in? Well, the actress revealed she wasn't naked at all! It was all a post production trick. She was actually wearing undies! what do you think about Jessica Alba being a fan of Michelle Rodriguez's body? Source: celebs.gather.com
