Jessica Alba must be one of those prissy celebrities who can’t even work a toaster, because girlfriend tried to cook some fish sticks Wednesday afternoon and almost started a fire.

So, what’s a girl to do on a Wednesday night at about 5:30pm when she wants some fish sticks and there isn’t a chef in sight? Well, we found out and it’s not pretty. Instead of calling someone for some *help* with the stove, she figured she could do it herself.

Page Six reports:

It was a not-so-fine kettle of fish at the trendy Smyth Hotel in TriBeCa when Jessica Alba tried cooking herself an early dinner.

Alba, in town for the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her new movie, “The Killer Inside Me,” was attempting to heat up some fish sticks at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday — but she couldn’t figure out how to work the oven.

According to a source at the hotel, “She ended up almost causing a fire in her room. Fire alarms ended up going off throughout the hotel. The smoke was so bad that fire trucks had to come. The other guests in the hotel were pretty pissed.”

Jeez, my ten-year-old knows how to work a stove. It’s a sad state of affairs when people can’t even read a package of fish sticks and follow simple directions.
