From Agence France-Presse
Hollywood starlet 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 showed.Documents posted on The Smoking Gun website 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 23 letter published by the website, Alba's 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 54-year-old girlie 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 Alba to appear on the cover, but that they were flatly turned down.
The magazine then allegedly resorted to a ruse to obtain a promotional photo of a bikini-clad Alba taken on the set of her film Into the Blue from the studio that made the movie, Columbia Pictures, he claimed.
Playboy did not immediately return calls to comment on the legal threat.
