JESSICA ALBA - ALBA NERVOUS OF BROADWAY CRITICS

Actress JESSICA ALBA is terrified she'll be hammered by critics when she makes her Broadway debut later in 2008. The actress will star in David Mamet's Speed the Plow in a role made famous 20 years ago by Madonna. And Alba isn't sure she can handle the potential bad press. She says, "Whether I do a good job or not, people will be nasty. Even Claire Danes, who's a respected actress, got s**t (for Pygmalion). I don't know if I feel like being ridiculed like that."
