Alba forgives Playboy

The sexy star threatened Hugh Hefner with legal action after he put her picture on the March 2006 cover of his soft-porn publication.

However the actress has now dropped her demands after Hugh pledged to donate substantial sums to charities of the actress' choice.

In a statement issued yesterday, Jessica said: “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.

“This was never about money, it was about setting the record straight about something that was done without my knowledge or consent.”
