I Give Respect Where it's Due....

Jessica Alba climbed up a few notches on the pole. Apparently SHE is the reason that Paris got dumped by Endeavor (her agent)....

OK! has learned that Endeavor was pushed by a number of the other A-list stars on their roster to kick the Simple Life star to the curb.

“They were getting a lot of pressure from bigger clients to get rid of Paris,” an insider reveals exclusively to OK!. “None of them wanted to have the same agents as Paris; she’s an embarrassment to any real artist.”

And, according to the insider, it was Jessica Alba who tipped the scales against the hotel heiress. “Jessica is the anti-Paris — a real star who hates the silly L.A. party scene that Paris reigns over,” explains the source. “She made it clear to the folks at Endeavor — either Paris goes or she goes.”
