Jessica Alba upset over non-nude Photos in Playboy magazine

Jessica Alba is threatening to sue Playboy magazine for putting a picture of
her on their front cover.

The magazine reportedly asked the 25-year-old actress to pose for its March cover, an offer she turned down, her attorney Brian Wolf told The Smoking Gun.

After Alba said no, the magazine allegedly got a promotional photo from Alba`s film, 'Into the Blue,' which is what appears on the March cover, Wolf said. Next to the photo is a promotion for a story on the 25 sexiest celebrities.

Her lawyers have written to Playboy, owned by legendary media mogul Hugh
Hefner, claiming the cover suggests the olive-skinned beauty appears nude or
semi-nude inside.

Brian Wolf, alleges the soft-porn magazine then obtained a publicity shot of the
'Into the Blue' star under false pretences.

He says: "In featuring Ms. Alba's photograph on the cover of Playboy's March
issue, it is clear that Playboy's intent was to create a false belief and/or
expectation among the public that Ms. Alba voluntarily appeared in the nude,
or semi-nude and that a revealing pictorial of her is contained in Playboy's
March issue."

The legal letter also blasts Playboy for superimposing its bunny trademark on Alba's right breast in the cover shot, further implying that she's naked on the inside reports People Magaine.

"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," Alba says in a statement released Wednesday. "I'm simply protecting my personal rights and I hope that they will think twice before they try to do this to someone else."

Playboy defended itself in a statement, pointing out that Alba is not the only celebrity to appear on the cover but not nude inside.

Wolf demands the publication stops distributing the issue and pays Jessica a
monetary settlement for damaging her "good name, reputation and career".
