Hugh Hefner sure does have a way with the ladies. He’s apparently gotten Jessica Alba to drop her demand that Playboy stop it’s March issue.
Apparently, in Playboy’s relentless quest for the callipygian ideal, they snagged a promo shot of a bikini-clad Jessica Alba from Into the Blue and dropped it on the cover of the March issue.
For some reason, Jessica - and likely millions of male readers - thought that she just might be wearing less than that bikini inside. She was upset and fought back. But Hef made nice by writing her a letter of apology and donating to two of Alba’s charities, Keep A Child Alive and Until There’s A Cure.
Getting back to that letter, exactly how does one write something like that? Here’s my shot at it: “Dear Ms. Alba, I’m really sorry for snagging a photo of you and putting you on the cover without permission and implying that you just might be inside the issue and have agreed to the whole affair. I really wouldn’t have done it if you just weren’t so darn hot, thus causing me to sell millions of copies. Love, Hef”
Oh, I really don’t think a career in PR is in my future.
There’s no word on any legal action from the millions of men who may have felt misled by the cover. In related news, Celebrity Wonk has a photo gallery of Jessica Alba, for all interested in further research on this topic.
