Alba Withdraws Lawsuit Threat After Receiving Apology

Actress Jessica Alba has accepted an apology from Playboy’s former publisher Hugh Hefner and has apparently decided not to sue the magazine for putting a photo of her on the cover of its March issue.

Playboy will also make some donations to charities in which Alba takes an interest. Read more here. Read an earlier post here.
