On the cover of the March 2006 issue, Playboy magazine named Jessica Alba among its 25 Sexiest Celebrities, and the Sex Star of the Year. Jessica Alba was involved in litigation against Playboy for its use of her image (from a promotional shot for Into the Blue) without her consent, which she contends gave the appearance that she was featured in the issue in a "nude pictorial". However, Jessica Alba later dropped the lawsuit after receiving a personal apology from Playboy owner Hugh Hefner, who agreed to make donations to two charities that Alba has supported.
