I think about what this could mean for all our children, and I know I want them to have a better, brighter future. This is why I've joined forces with OUR TIME , an organization that advocates for the rights of young Americans, and ServeNext.org to push for one million new national service jobs. While creating these opportunities is not the only answer to the social problems we face and it might not be the perfect solution, I do think it is one step we can take together to improve these frustrating statistics. And I believe supporting additional AmeriCorps educational, environmental, health, and economic development efforts will pos...

Ramey (2); INF Jessica Alba isnt afraid of a little color color! The street style star has been spotted around town recently sporting bright pieces from head to toe and making them look just right. In May, Alba ran errands in Beverly Hills after seemingly raiding Kelly Kapowskis Saved By The Bell closet and we totally loved it!

Jessica Alba has become less self-conscious about what she wears now that she's a mother. The star has two daughters with husband Cash Warren. Jessica admits she wasn't always so confident about her appearance, but having a family has helped boost her self-esteem. "Before, I would never dare to wear shorts or a mini skirt. Now I'm a mother, I allow myself more things, I'm not afraid anymore about what others think," she told Gala France.
