When female celebrities get photoshopped they usually end up with bigger boobs but Katy Perry has had her boobs shopped to make them look smaller.
In the new poster for VH1′s 2010 Divas they retouched her 34D boobs to make them look a lot smaller, all at the request of her team.
Apparently her team think her boobs are to big so they asked for them to be made look smaller. To me they look perfectly fine, what I find more offensive is the face they made Keri Hilson and Nicki Minaj look a lot more white than they really are – which you can see below.

Earlier this year Justin Bieber was put on the cover of People Magazine and it turned out to be a complete fail, now he is on the cover of Brazilian magazine TodaTeen and it’s a failure again.
As you can see in the cover above he photoshopped so much he looks like a woman, which doesn’t do the jokes about him being a lesbian any justice. Hell, some people are even calling him Justine Bieber. Come to think about it he does look like a Justine.
The magazine have now released a statement about the cover. “We could not help noticing your comments and tweets from the picture of Justin on the cover of Star Todateen. We would like to say that there was no change made in the area of the singer’s eyes. We had a technical problem that darkens certain areas of the photo. We also want to say that all of us find Justin very naturally beautiful. We’d never think it’s necessary to alter pictures of him. Natural beauty says it all, right?”
And yes, it’s a slow news day.

Elle Magazine have denied accusations that they made Gabourey Sidbe‘s skin a couple of shades lighter using photoshop on the cover of their magazine.
For their 25th anniversary Elle feature four celebrities on four different covers – Gabourey, Lauren Conrad, Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox. All of them are supposed to be “examples of young women who were changing the world”.
It’s not only the skin that Elle are being accused of changing, the other three covers show the girls in full length photos but Gabourey’s just shows her from the chest up. Elle deny and funny business…
“We have four separate covers this month and Gabby’s cover was not retouched any more or less than the others, we had 25 cover-worthy subjects in our portfolio and we chose Gabby because of who she is. We shot this as a story of exuberant young women changing the world. If you take a look at the portfolio, each of the women were shot in different ways and for different reasons.”
Well there’s no denying that her skin does look a lot lighter in the cover compared to the photo on the right.

You know how photoshop has become used more and more and so has the backlash against it, but here is something that is just ridiculously funny.
On the left is the real Taylor Swift, on the right is some created alien/human that a Russian magazine, Oops, has photoshopped and labeled it/her as Taylor Swift.
I don’t even know what to say about this but the thing/girl on the magazine cover does not look like Taylor Swift at all and oh yeah the magazine name says it all OOPS.

The magazine cover above on the left with Prince William has been causing quite a bit of controversy because obviously his hair has been photographed like no other (as you can see in the side by side shot).
The 27-year-old is on the cover of Hello! magazine with the tagline “The Real William,” obviously the tagline is wrong because the photo on the right was taken just a month ago when he was doing a tour of Australia.
Prince William is apparently the first royal to be photoshopped, I find that hard to believe.

Retouching is pretty much expected whenever a celebrity or model are doing some kind of photoshoot, it’s becoming more frequent and some celebrities claim they hate it although I think they only hate it when they get caught. Photoshop has made teenagers go under the knife to try and be like their favorite celebrities. Well here are some of the most ridiculous retouching scandals over the past few years.
Kate Winslet
In January 2003, 27-year-old actress Kate Winslet was livid over a slimmed-down image of her already-long legs and board-flat stomach on the cover (and inside, pictured here) of British GQ. Winslet called the retouching “excessive” – noting that “I do not look like that, and more importantly, I don’t desire to look like that.” Not that that mattered to GQ. Said editor Dylan Jones: “We do that for everyone, whether they are a size six or a size 12.”
Katie Couric
No, Katie Couric didn’t discover a miracle diet. But over a four-month period in 2006, as the anchor prepared to take over the CBS Evening News, it suddenly appeared as if the 53-year-old had shrunk to a third of her body weight. The photo at left, snapped in May, was widely circulated to the media as an official CBS publicity shot. Then, in September, a slimmed-down Couric, her face and waistline radically trimmed, appeared in CBS’s in-house magazine, Watch! When the media picked up on the alteration, the network said the retouching job had been the work of an “overzealous” employee. Couric, meanwhile, said she liked the original better. “There’s more of me to love,” she joked.
Beyonce
The many shades of Beyonce, as evidenced by (from left) a 2008 L’Oreal ad, a 2007 cover shot from Joy magazine, and a 2009 image on the cover of Russian Glamour.
Andy Roddick
Men’s Fitness wants to know: How do you build BIG arms in five easy moves? When it comes to Andy Roddick, apparently the answer has more to do with Photoshop than tennis. After posing for this shot in early 2007, tennis superstar Roddick reportedly did a double take when he saw the magazine while walking through a Rome airport – noting that his biceps had been blown into “22-inch guns” and a prominent birthmark on his right arm had been removed. And while a Men’s Fitness spokesman responded to the scandal by saying he didn’t see “the big issue,” Roddick joked that he was “pretty sure I’m not as fit as the [cover] suggests.” Does Hulk Hogan want his arms back?
Faith Hill
Redbook couldn’t have been pleased when an unretouched image of Faith Hill, featured on the magazine’s July 2007 cover, was leaked to the bloggers at Jezebel. In an annotated before-and-after shot, the bloggers pinpointed 11 digital alterations the already picture-perfect Hill underwent before she hit newsstands – next to a cover line teasing the “56 ways to unleash your sexy side.” (Do 55 of them involve airbrushing?) Redbook was accused of contributing to an unattainable body ideal, but editor Stacy Morrison said the picture was “completely in line with industry standards.”
Jessica Alba
From hips to breasts to erasing even the slightest thigh muscle, even Jessica Alba’s body wasn’t good enough for this 2008 Campari calendar. Need we say more?
Real Women
Remember Dove’s 2005 “Real Beauty” campaign – the one that featured a room full of underwear-clad “real” women, love handles and all? The ads took heat because they were created to promote a new line of skin-firming creams but were lauded for their use of authentic, curvy women in print. Which was great for Dove – until a prominent fashion retoucher who’d worked with the company was quoted in The New Yorker describing the “challenge” of retouching the women to keep their “skin and faces showing the mileage but not looking unattractive.” Dove immediately denied that the photos had been retouched – and the retoucher said he’d been taken out of context. But in many ways, the damage was done.
Kim Kardashian
“So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesnt!?” That was Kim Kardashian’s response to an unretouched image of her that was mistakenly posted on Complex magazine’s Web site in May 2009. The snapshot – which was quickly replaced by the Photoshopped version – showed that Kim’s waist had been cinched, her thighs slimmed, and her cellulite removed.
Madonna
In April, the blogs went into a minor frenzy after an unretouched version of Madonna’s “Hard Candy” promo shot, released in anticipation of her new album, hit the Web. In it, it’s clear just how far her retouchers went to morph the already good-looking 51-year-old mom into a glowing, ageless wax doll.
Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson looks trim and adorable in this September issue of Self – under the headline “Total Body Confidence” – except that her “confident” body has been digitally slimmed down. (The image on right was taken around the same time as her magazine shoot.) Two Self editors explained that the cover was not “journalism,” but “meant to inspire women who want to be their best.” Some message.
Lauren Manhattan
This magazine ad for Ralph Lauren, which spurred protests outside Lauren’s Manhattan headquarters in 2009, features 23-year-old model Filippa Hamilton looking positively non-human. At 5 feet 8 and 120 pounds, Hamilton (pictured in another Lauren ad at left) later said that the brand – which ultimately apologized for the image – had quietly fired her for being overweight.
Demi Moore
Demi Moore has long seemed to elude age, while denying that plastic surgery has had anything to do with it. But when the 47-year-old mom appeared on the cover of W Magazine in November 2009, her image sparked widespread discussion. W was adamant that photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot did nothing “unusual or out of the ordinary on Demi Moore,” but many commentators noted that the huge chunk missing from her hip implies otherwise.
Crystal Renn
She is the industry’s best-known plus-size model, and yet Crystal Renn says that she’s constantly bombarded by the same response when she meets people who know her profession: “I thought you’d be bigger.” At 5 feet 9 and a size 12, Renn will defy any notion that retouching is reserved for making women look smaller: her curves are often enhanced to make the “plus-size” model look bigger. “Because I am a plus-size model, they like to make an example,” she told The New York Times. “They see a roll, and they say, ‘Oooh, a roll!’ And they focus on it.”

Nearly a year after giving birth to her octuplets, Octomom is on the cover of Star Magazine showing off her bikini body.
34-year-old Octomom, real name Nadya Suleman, is not only on the cover but she also took a photoshoot of her in a bunch of bikinis on a beach.
As for how she went form looking like this when she was pregnant to how she she got her body in shape? She says it is all natural and there was no surgery involved.
“I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it on my own, naturally. My friends call me Rubber Band because I always snapped back so quickly after my other kids!”
What do you think? Could someone bounce back from 8 kids to looking like this in under a year?

This doesn’t even look like a real person that they put in the new poster for Sex and the City 2, I can’t wait to see what they do with the other three girls.
There is no movie what so ever on this movie because they are keeping it all locked down, so I guess we can judge how fake and shitty it is going go be by this poster of Sarah Jessica Parker.

The Decapitator has struck again, this time he has decided to chop the head of Shakira on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
If you don’t know who The Decapitator is then I will tell you, he has basically took the heads of actors, actresses, models and other celebrities for fun and then posted them all over London, Paris and São Paulo.
The artist who comes from the UK decided to make a trip to New York City earlier this month and posted his version of the Rolling Stone cover all over the city, he event went as far to put fake magazines on Barnes & Nobles stands.
He then challenged people to find his images and magazine throughout the city, you can see some of them on his Flickr page . Some people get really pissy over this but I think it’s a bit of fun, even though it is sick, and would make a fun day out to look for the images.
I wonder what Shakira thinks. Oh and I’m sorry, I’m sure this is exactly what you needed to see before you chomp down your Thanksgiving dinner later on.

Just like the title says, Cindy Crawford looks really good in her bikini… at the age of 43.
She was in Los Angeles doing some photoshoot, I don’t know what this photoshoot is for and quite frankly I really don’t care, I just have to admire how good she looks in this bikini.
She didn’t seem to mind the recent sexual harassment accusations against her husband Rande Gerber that happened earlier in the month, he is accused of firing two waitresses because they wouldn’t have sex with him.
Apparently he tried to kiss one of the girls three times and put his hand up her dress, but this is not the case according to George Clooney who said, “I was with Rande the entire night – as were a lot of people, they will all say the same thing that I’m saying. This event never happened. Period.”
Oh well, at least Cindy Crawford looks hot and curvy. However I’m sure these curves will be removed when the photoshop team get to the pictures.

Washington’s most important new resident is featured on the cover of the Washingtonian’s May issue — shirtless.
The shot of President Barack Obama wearing his bathing suit caused a stir when it was taken by the paparazzi while the Obamas were vacationing in Hawaii during Christmas last year. The photo is used to illustrate the magazine’s list of “26 Reasons to Love Living Here.” The No. 2 reason is “Our New Neighbor Is Hot.”
The picture is causing a stir again.
The photo was altered to make Obama’s swimming trunks red. In the original photo taken last year, Obama’s trunks are black.
Some journalists have taken issue with the change. The Huffington Post accused the magazine of changing Obama’s skin tone to a more golden glow.
“In the world of news, that’s unethical,” the blog post states.
The Post also reported that Washingtonian lifestyle editor, Leslie Milk, admitted the image was altered.
“I know we changed the color of his suit to red, and dropped out the background.”
The Obama cover is a departure for the local lifestyle magazine, which is usually more conservative, showcasing guides to the area’s top doctors or restaurants.
“It’s a unique time in Washington and this photo helps capture all of the reasons why,” the Washingtonian’s editor-at-large, Garrett Graff, told ABC News.
“It’s not a normal way to look at a president of the United States but this is not a normal president.
The Obamas are the center of attention here and the whole world is looking to Washington now in a way we haven’t seen in years,†he said, calling it “a real golden age of Washington.â€
