CELEB: Alba Plays Nice with Hugh Hefner

Sin City star Jessica Alba has backed away from her threats to sue Playboy for putting a photo of her on their March 2006 cover without her permission.

The magazine ended their feud with the actress by offering donations to a couple of Alba’s favorite charities.

Hugh Hefner, founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy, has promised to donate “substantial sums” to Keep a Child Alive and Until There's a Cure.

Ooh. Slick! He makes the donation, gets the tax write-off, and if Jessica Alba doesn't go for it, *she* looks like the bad guy depriving children with diseases money.

I knew there was a reason why Hef was my hero!

How can you put a picture of someone on the cover of Playboy without their permission?

It was a promotional photo from Into The Blue. Maybe pretty much anyone can do anything with promotional photos?

i think they have to have permisson from the studio that put out the movie. i'm guessing.
