Jessica Alba has made a charity donation to apologise for putting up shark conservation posters. The Hollywood beauty – who was criticised last week when photographs emerged of her posing in front of buildings covered in giant images of the killer fish – has written a cheque for the United Way of Central Oklahoma charity. Erin Brewer, from the community organisation, said: “We’re very pleased she made a contribution. The money will go toward various good works around Oklahoma City.” Photographs of the 28-year-old actress smiling and holding a pot of glue in front of a defaced bridge, electricity box and advertising billboards appeared online last week.

A billboard advertising United Way was one of those vandalised in the incident.
