Actress Jessica Alba has threatened to sue Playboy magazine over claims of unauthorized use of her photo on the cover of its March 2006 issue.

Her attorneys claim that the actress' photo -- a promotional shot for her film 'Into the Blue' -- was used without her knowledge or consent on the cover, and that it misleads the public to believe that she appears nude or partially nude in the mag, which she does not.

"Playboy has violated my personal rights and blatantly misled the public, who might think I had given them permission to put me on their cover when I didn't," says Alba in a statement. "I'm simply protecting my personal rights and I hope that they will think twice before they try to do this to someone else."

--Um, did she think they were going to put a regular picture of her on the cover fully-clothed? Um, it IS Playboy! I can understand her being angry in that it was an unauthorized picture, but of course guys were going to be hopeful when they saw her on the cover that she had given up on the "no nudity" thing. I don't see how that can come as a surprise.
