Jessica Alba Takes Legal Action Against Playboy

Jessica Alba, who graces the cover of Playboy's March issue wearing a bikini, isn't happy to be there.

In a lengthy letter obtained by the Smoking Gun Web site from the legal department of Columbia Pictures (the studio behind Alba's movie Into the Blue) to the men's magazine's legal department, the film company expresses "dismay and anger over the outrageous, unethical behavior" it claims the magazine exercised "to obtain the photograph of Jessica Alba that was used without authorization."

Alba's attorney is demanding that Playboy stop circulating the issue and offer the 24-year-old actress a "monetary settlement" for damaging her reputation by implying she's "nude or semi-nude" in the publication -- which she is not. Instead, Alba can be found inside the pages illustrating an article on the 25 sexiest celebrities.
