Photoshopping, celebrities and Richard Armitage

There is nothing I enjoy better (well almost) than seeing what people look like before their publicity pictures are airbrushed to perfection.  It's a definite 'in your face moment' to see cellulite on Britney Speers or bags under Faith Hills' eyes.

She has Tim McGraw, she doesn't need to look gorgeous too.  Life doesn't work that way.  Ok, damn woman still looks gorgeous. And she's nice too.  Now I feel bad...not...


Kim Kardashian.  Slimmed down tummy and they did something with the right top leg - took away some of that scraggly top she's wearing, slimmed down her thigh.  Damn woman still looks gorgeous.  Let's find some really creepy ones....


Perfect for the creep factor - Madonna.  She always was creepy.  Unbelievable how the years just slip away with these photos, isn't it?  I love to show these to my husband when he tells me Joan Collins still looks good.  Bah!  She's preserved that's all.


Keira Knightley is perfection but was made even more perfectioner with the enhancement of her bust in the photo on the right.  Yowza, but couldn't I have used that in my twenties!  Other than the bosoms they just added a burning village and more hair.  I doubt if the bust thing was Keira's idea either - she seems pretty damn fine with the way she looks.


The art of Reverse Airbrushing never did take off with celebrities.  Here is a pretend picture of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt taken at last year's bowling banquet.  Angie won 'best hair'.  I love her Imelda Marcos shoulder pads too.

I pick on poor Angelina a lot due solely to jealousy.  She's such a lovely, delicate, refined woman...

...oops, did it again

Cameron Diaz is another star that never seems to age, is always lovely.  That's why is does a woman's heart good to see that some touch ups were needed on her picture too.


She's got a scary kind of thing going on with her right hip.  Listen I will point out any blemish I can with some of these woman!


Ok, Kim Cattrall is so air-brushed on the right as to be unrecognizable.  I thought it was a picture of Natasha Richardson at first.  I'm stlll not certain its not a photo from thirty years ago with those earrings and all...



Here we go - Britney Speers.  If I could slim down my legs like this I would be walking on my hands.  





It just goes to show that not only can't you believe everything you read, you can't believe everything you see!  


Now for the men...


I like George Clooney's grey hair, but the movie going market is younger I guess.  He's been prettied up (as if) on the left.  Either picture works for me.


Here's a famous one.  Time made O. J. Simpson darker for their cover.  This is a sad example of media manipulation.  Or maybe Newsweek made him lighter colored?  I don't remember any more.


This I don't understand at all - which is the photoshopped one?  I'm guessing it's on the right because the beard looks ridiculous.  Is he adjusting a wig?  The body hair looks real though on the right, doesn't it?  I'll just have to keep studying this for a while...



And now, the Academy Award for Best Photoshopped Picture Ever, Anywhere, Anytime - and the winner is....



NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL PHOTOSHOPPING!!!!
