Alba threatens Playboy
Jessica Alba has threatened to sue Playboy, claiming that putting her photo on its cover made readers think she posed nude for the magazine.
Documents show that the 25-year-old actress has written to Hugh Hefner's company complaining that it attempted to make it seem as if she appears in a "nude or semi-nude pictorial".
In a February 23rd letter her lawyers demanded that Playboy stop distributing the magazine and provide her with a "monetary settlement" for its unauthorised commercial use of her image.
According to her lawyer Brian Wolf, the magazine's decision to put her on the cover to illustrate a story about the 25 sexiest celebrities had caused Alba "immeasurable harm".
The lawyer alleged that Playboy initially offered to pay the actress to appear on the cover, but that they were flatly turned down.
