Jessica Alba praises Lohan in 'Machete'
Jessica Alba has praised co-star Lindsay Lohan's performance in the upcoming Machete.
The actress appears alongside Lohan in the Robert Rodriguez feature-length expansion of the fake trailer that played in Grindhouse.
Speaking to MTV News at the movie's LA premiere, she said: "[Lindsay is] so good in this movie. I can't wait for everyone to see [her in] it."
Rodriguez - who has frequently spoken out in support of Lohan - added that he predicts the movie will remind the public and media of her talent.
"They'll see the actress behind all that paparazzi nonsense that follows her and won't leave her alone," he said. "They'll get to see her and say, 'Oh, that's right, that's why we follow her around.'"
Lohan hit the headlines last month when she was sentenced to 90 days in jail and a 90-day stint at rehab after violating the terms of her probation stemming from a 2007 charge. She was released from jail on August 2 and allowed to leave rehab on Tuesday.
According to Radar Online, her attorney Shawn Holley Chapman has said that she chose not to attend the screening of Machete because "she thought it was better for her to focus on moving forward and not necessarily going to something splashy".
Machete opens September 3 in the US and November 26 in the UK.
