Jessica Alba is currently involved in litigation with famous Playboy magazine. The actress accused of putting her image on its cover without permission. Besides, Playboy hinted that there might be some nude pictures in the issue, what, as Alba thinks, has damaged her career and reputation. 

The cover girl claims that Playboy asked her to model in the magazine for a good pay, but she rejected the offer. So, in March issue they used the picture, which was taken in a promotional photo shoot for the film Into the Blue (2005).

Jessica Alba had previously posed in a bikini for a number of men’s magazines, what helps to promote her acting career. Her image was also used in the computer and video game Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Jessica Alba joined the army of young film stars whose scantily-clad images appeared on the cover of Playboy. The magazine already has in its collection the images of such legendary women as Marilyn Monroe (1953), Charlize Theron (1999), Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell (1999), and many more.

Playboy team doesn’t understand why Alba got so angry with them. It is one of the world’s best known and best read entertainment magazines, it’s printed all over the world and some countries have special nation-specific versions. So, one hardly can think of a better promotion than to appear on the cover of a worldwide magazine.
