According to papers obtained by TheSmokingGun.com, Jessica Alba is threatening to sue Playboy for using a bikini-clad photo of her — from the movie Into the Blue and obtained in an "outrageous, unethical" manner from Columbia Pictures — on its March cover, thus making it appear that she is featured in a "nude or semi-nude pictorial."

Jodie Foster's Flightplan, which is being boycotted by flight attendants' unions, ruled the box office for a second week by scoring another $15 million, besting buzzed-about sci-fi newcomer Serenity (with $10.1 million), Tim Burton's Corpse Bride ($9.8 million) and the crime drama A History of Violence ($8.2 million).

"I want to do the show; I want the charm of the show." As for who might play Major Nelson, Alba is mum but notes, "It needs to be a strong leading man who is funny and all the things you love about Larry Hagman." I believe Chris O'Donnell is free.

In Honey, she danced until she couldn't dance no more. In Sin City, her stripper did wonderful things with a lasso and chaps. In Fantastic Four, she was out of sight as Invisible Woman Susan Storm. And now, in the thriller Into the Blue (in theaters Sept. 30), Jessica Alba once again has put her mettle to the metal, playing the self-sufficient lady love of a treasure hunter (The Fast and the Furious' Paul Walker) who unwittingly digs up big trouble on the Caribbean seafloor.
So, considering all the above, when is Alba going to give herself (and her body) a bre
