As CB reported yesterday, Jessica Alba has finally given birth to her second daughter, which means that she’s already slapped on that girdle (the fact of which probably gets Taylor Lautner hot) and is preparing to tell us all (again) about how hard it is to lose the baby weight. First, however, Alba’s going to send us a few mixed signals with a recent interview within which she inconsisently claims that she’s really in no hurry to get back to her pre-pregnancy bod. Also, she sort of believes in reincarnation:

Jessica Alba has revealed that she wouldn’t be surprised if she knew her husband Cash Warren in a past life.

The Little Fockers actress, who gave birth to her second child on Saturday, explained that she felt instantly comfortable around the actor when they met.

Asked whether she is open to the idea of reincarnation, Alba replied to Style: “I’m not closed to that possibility. I definitely felt like I knew my husband when I met him. It was an instant comfort when I met him. I felt like we were family.”

While the couple didn’t plan to have their 3-year-old daughter Honor Marie, the 30-year-old star explained that it has brought them even closer.

“It just happened and we were like, ‘OK, let’s do this’. It’s made our bond deeper. It’s creating a life that you created with someone else that makes everything more solid,” she said.

Alba also insisted that she is in no rush to return to her pre-baby body because she is at ease with the way she looks.

“I’m much happier with my body than I’ve ever been,” she explained. “It’s different, but it’s fine. I had a different association with my body and what perfection was when I was younger.”

Alba is so wacky. To be clear, I’m not knocking reincarnation at all but more like Alba’s idea of it. In her words, the idea is all very romantic and only serves the purpose of explaining why she felt so instantly comfortable with her husband. It’s a very superficial way of approaching what many believe is a very spiritual topic; of course, Alba waxing rhapsodic about reincarnation is much preferable to witnessing Alba’s complaints about how directors are to blame for her own substandard performances, how Hollywood doesn’t take her seriously because of her racial ambiguity, and how screenwriters are basically useless to great actors, right? Unfortunately, I have the feeling that Alba will soon return to attempting to justify her less than impressive run as an actress, so I’ll take her flighty ideas about reincarnation over her usual topics of conversation anyday.

Also, how exactly did Alba stay comfortable wearing such high heels during late pregancy? Ouch.
