Honest, honest, honest. And did she mention, honest? Attendees at Monday's AdWeek conference are still chuckling about how special guest Jessica Alba used her stage time at the Liberty Theater to subtly promote her own product line, even after a minor hissy fit backstage.
"She was huffing and puffing and stomping her little foot backstage because the discussion started 20 minutes late," says our insider, who said that once Alba finally got on stage, the Honest Company founder continually thanked firms that were honest about the way they produced and marketed their products. The 33-year-old "Sin City" star and mother of two also urged honest governmental oversight of unspecified companies, a theme that she continued backstage, we're told.
"It was like Hillary Clinton," says our perplexed source. "People were wondering if she's going to run for office." No doubt President Alba could help stimulate the economy. Her two-year-old environmentally conscious product line, including diapers and toxin-free cleaning supplies, is already worth an estimated $1 billion.

NO JUSTICE, NO TWO-PIECE
"Boys should get pregnant too!" That was just one of the messages on signs held by a stream of models during the finale at Chanel's show in Paris. Fashion week turned into a feminist movement as Gisele Bundchen, Toni Garrn and Cara Delevingne held faux protest signs and shouted into bullhorns about women's rights. Viva la Lagerfeld.
MUCH IN STORE FOR BERRY
Proving just how great a mom she is, Halle Berry took 6-year-old daughter Nahla shopping in the American Girl store at the Grove in Los Angeles. Berry looked like the quintessential California girl in flip-flops and a beachy dress, and took care of some more grownup shopping at Crate & Barrel.
