ITTY BITTY BITS: Alba likes Obama; Griffin's 'Urban Justice'; Luciano in NY; Clive Davis guest list; Patriots player arrested.
*At the red carpet premiere of her new thriller "The Eye," pregnant actress Jessica Alba was asked by Fox News to reveal which presidential candidate has her vote. "I am leaning toward Obama," Alba said. "He is pretty incredible." As for political issues of most concern to the film star, Alba said: "The economy is huge — the fact that our dollar is so low is unbelievable. Health care is another big one and, obviously, the war in Iraq."
*Eddie Griffin and Steven Seagal star in "Urban Justice," premiering on on Spike TV Sunday, Feb. 24 from 9 p.m. - 11 p.m. under the "Spike Guy Movies" umbrella. The action film is about a father (Seagal) determined to avenge his son's violent death from a drive-by shooting. When the cops close the case due to lack of evidence, he moves into the worst part of town, where gang violence is rampant and he is confronted by two rival gangs, led by Armand (Griffin) and El Chivo (Danny Trejo). Both are surprised to find that the father not only has Special Forces training, but he has no fear and no mercy.
