LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Film star Jessica Alba forgave Playboy magazine on Tuesday for making her an unwitting cover girl after founder Hugh Hefner sent the actress a personal apology and pledged to donate money to her favorite charities.

Alba had threatened to sue Playboy after the men's magazine printed a photo of the bikini-clad actress from her 2005 movie "Into the Blue" on the cover of its March issue -- which she said duped readers into thinking she was nude inside.

"What was intended as a tribute to your tremendous popularity has been misinterpreted by some as something else for which we are truly sorry since we are among your biggest fans," Hefner said.

Smooth move.

Although I still think it was bad judgment on Playboy's part to put Alba on the cover after she'd refused their initial request.

Hef got enough publicity he needed.

...and along with that letter of apology is also Hef's invitation at the mansion.
