Even though he’s got a pretty cool first name, Cash Warren is unfortunately currently most known for being the sorry loser who recently (July 2007) got dumped by his super hot and sexy girlfriend-of-over-two-years, Jessica Alba. As unfortunate as this incident may have been for poor Cash, though, he did make a lot of single and horny-for-Jessica males around the world happy for her newly single status through the break-up, even though Alba initiated it.

Cash Warren was born as “Cash Garner Warren” in Los Angeles, California on January 10, 1979, the son of somewhat well-known and could-have-been-more actor Michael Warren. Warren Junior attended high school—Crossroads School—in Santa Monica, California, with famous actress Kate Hudson. At Crossroads, Warren also played basketball with his buddy Baron Davis, who is now an NBA basketball star, currently playing as point guard for the Golden State Warriors (Warren and Alba used to attend Davis’ games together). After Crossroads, Warren went on to “bigger and better things” by attending Yale, where he later graduated.

Warren started making his living as a Hollywood film and television crewmember, director’s assistant, and producer just since 2004. His first project being Taxi (2004), as an assistant to the director, Tim Story. Taxi starred Queen Latifah, Jimmy Fallon, Henry Simmons, and Jennifer Esposito. However, nobody (save for Story) really knew who� Cash was. Then, Warren got mega lucky enough to work for Story again when Story directed Fantastic Four in 2005. No, it wasn’t for Warren’s great work on the set of Fantastic Four that earned him celebrity status, but it� when he met Jessica Alba, who starred as Sue Storm in the film alongside Ioan Gruffudd (Reed Richards), Chris Evans (Johnny Storm), Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm), and Julian McMahon (you know, the hottie from Nip/Tuck), who played the villain, Victor Von Doom.

Warren decided to try his hand at producing in 2006 with the film Rising Son: The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi, and most recently, with The Baron Davis Project, starring his friend and NBA star Baron Davis.

Not long after meeting, Warren and Alba began dating and were known as a “hot item” (purely because of Jessica) for a good two and a half years before she decided to call it quits over the phone while she was overseas promoting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in late July, 2007, telling Warren she didn’t love him anymore. Ouch. Ironically, not too long before the big break-up, Warren was labeled The Luckiest Bastard of 2007 by Spike TV for their first Guy’s Choice Awards simply for dating Jessica Alba. Guess he’s now the Unluckiest Bastard.

Alba, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying her new single life, yet, according to Cosmo, may be ready to move on with the likes of one of her hot crushes: Johnny Depp, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, or Jake Gyllenhaal.
