Apparently Hugh Hefner can’t have any girl he wants
While the March issue of Playboy features a picture of a bikini-clad Jessica Alba, it turns out that this was not a picture from a Playboy photo shoot. When Alba rejected Playboy’s request to appear on the magazine’s cover, Playboy allegedly resorted to fraudulently obtaining a promotional photo from Alba’s recent film Into the Blue and this is the photo appearing on the March cover. Needless to say, Alba’s attorneys are less than thrilled at the situation and have fired off a strongly worded cease and desist letter. And while the letter states that it is a “confidential legal communication and it is not intended for publication,” our friends at The Smoking Gun of course have a copy of the letter.
While Alba’s attorneys claim that her appearance on the Playboy cover has caused her “immeasurable harm,” they neglect to address the infinite abuse Alba’s career suffered by her appearance in Into the Blue…and in Fantastic Four…and definitely in Honey.
