Alba and Playboy
This one's different. No she did not pose in the nude. But she was on the cover. So she felt hurt that men around the world were 'tricked' into buying Playboy expecting to see her as the centrefold. Alas! So she's so hurt, she's suing Playboy for damages to her reputation and career.The last bit in the article is intersting. Donald Trump was on Playboy's cover too. Did men around the world buy that issue expecting to see him as a centrefold??? Hmmm...I wonder!!!
But the bigger question is, can a magazine use a picture of a star without his/her consent? Am not talking about paparazzi pics. Wouldn't all the tabloids and magazines around the world cease to exist then! Most of the print media pay for the rights of the photos to the respective photographers who in turn have a right to use them (provided that the person who was shot had consented for the same). Thats my understanding atleast. I could be wrong though.

I thought Playboy got the pics from Sony. This was a publicity photo from her movie, and I can't see how she can protest.
Besides the fact that her crib has low legal basis, this seems like a cheap way of getting publicity for her, that's all.

Jessica Alba is being too prudish about this matter. And really, after Sin City, the last thing she should be is a prude. And besides, the article was on 25 sexy stars (or was that doable??), and her co-stars voted her to be ecjactly that.

P.S. emni. if you don't like it, don't blame me.
