Jessica Alba’s legal team (those should be some interesting depositions) is threatening a lawsuit against Playboy, because they put her on the cover — but she doesn’t actually appear in the issue sans clothing (the closest was that one moment in Fantastic Four, but I digress…). That’s a pretty sleazy trick for Playboy, but even worse, the readers should sue the magazine for blatantly false advertising.
Ok, so now I have a reason to post this:

That dress looks like one of the bogus computer-generated tops they put on the “Show Girls” when it runs on tv.
I wish I could think up a good excuse to post this picture, but oh well…

Ah, a robust defense of free speech! I’m certainly glad that you’ve never given in to the temptation to gratuitously post pictures of Jessica Alba.
The free speech argument doesn’t pass muster here. Alba, as most Hollywood commodities, probably has very strict stipulations on the use of her image for commercial purposes. If Hef used this photo of Alba on the cover without her authorization, he’s got trouble.
I think the see-through top moment was probably a little closer Oliver.
But hey- if it get’s your mind off the fact that your hero was helping the UAE on the ports deal, I have no reason to complain about your gratuitous pictures of one of the things that you and I can always agree on!
According to your link, Clinton advised Dubai to submit to the scrutiny that would come with the deal.
What he failed to tell Dubai, apparently, was that no such scrutiny would occur unless the media found out that the deal was happening.
Quick poll – do you prefer her as a brunette or a blond? I vote brunette
Upon hearing of Miss Alba’s complaint last night, I knew that our obsessed esteemed host would have both a picture and comment on the topic. But Marty did have the better pictures!
Has anybody else been on the cover and not posed nude? I’d imagine over the years, yes…
Hef’s no dummy. I’m sure he’s got his legal ass covered. Though I’m certain he’ll piss off quite a few newsstand consumers
I take it back. After reading the letter from Alba’s lawyers, Playboy is screwed. They will end up settling and some Editor is going to get canned.
Yes!
And this version of the see-thru top moment is a better photograph.
Daniel S asked:
Cavemen preferred blondes!
I prefer her brunette or blond,
I prefer her here or yon;
I prefer her here or there,
I prefer her anywhere.
Whilst going downstairs yesterday evening, to get a Mountain Dew”!, I noticed that Jessica Alba was on the red carpet; my daughters were watching the red carpet show on E!
Naturally, I decided to check our esteemed host’s website when I got back upstairs, to see if he had been drooling over watching the lovely Miss Alba. It turned out that this site was not available then, or during the other times I checked. I even got an error message about an hour ago.
The only conclusion to which I can come is that Mr Willis was just so excited by Miss Alba’s appearance that he spilled his beer all over the computer, and shut down everything!
