Jessica Alba forgives Playboy

After demanding that Playboy pull their March issue with her on the cover, Jessica Alba has apparently rescinded her request after receiving a personal apology from Hugh Hefner.

It was definitely wrong of Playboy to put her picture on the cover without her consent, but I’m sure the publicity that this incident has generated has only helped with the magazine’s sales. There’s no exchange of money, so Jessica would still seem to be the one that’s getting screwed here.
