WeekEnder: April 2-8
Friday, April 07, 2006
Alba and Playboy Make UpJessica Alba is no longer upset with Playboy. Alba was pissed with the magazine for putting a file picture of her on its cover without her consent. She thought it implied that she would be naked inside. The 24-year-old actress demanded the magazine pull the March issue. But Hugh Hefner has apologized in a letter, so now Alba says there are no hard feelings. "I appreciate Mr. Hefner's acknowledgment of the distress caused by Playboy's actions, and I'm happy to put this unfortunate event behind me," Alba said in a statement. "This was never about money, it was about setting the record straight about something that was done without my knowledge or consent." Playboy also made donations to two charities Alba supports.
