Alba Takes on Playboy

Jessica Alba's may sue Playboy for implying she had posed naked by placing her on their front cover. Her lawyers sent Playboy a threatening letter last month after the magazne published an image of a Jessica in a bikini from her movie Into The Blue on the front of its March issue without her permission. Alba claims the choice of front cover insinuates she appears nude or semi-nude in the magazine. She said, "Playboy has violated my personal rights and blatantly misled the public, who might think I had given them permission to put me on their cover when I didn't."

Playboy insists they placed her on the cover because she won a readers poll as being the "sexiest star of the year" and she is among other stars who grace the cover, but do not pose naked. Playboy spokeswoman says, "Many celebrities have appeared on the cover of Playboy, but not nude, including Claudia Schiffer, Paris Hilton, Goldie Hawn, Raquel Welch, Barbra Streisand, Brooke Shields and [huh?]Donald Trump [???]."
