If you were a celeb and were always on the covers of magazines would you want to look like you or a perfect you? This is becoming an issue these days and actually the famous people are starting to want to look like themselves.

All you photoshop gurus better beware thanks to a few cases this week of celebrites fighting back. Being someone who loves to mess around with photoshop knows that when you see a cover on a mag it most likely is never real. There is so much that can be done I do not even know why they bother taking a new picture. Just grab an old one and do whatever you want with it.

Here are a few examples of Andy Roddick and Jennifer Aniston I came across. I am sure if I dig around there are hundreds to share but for now I will stick with these.

Where did the book go and her sunglasses? They wanted people to think she was carrying a manuscript for a tell all book about Brad Pitt. So lame.

The magazine enhanced Andy Roddick’s muscles with photo editing — so much so that Roddick said he stopped in his tracks when he saw the cover while walking through the airport.

So now you know how scary people have been able to grace the covers for years and years. It is all in large part to the image doctors behind the scenes and the magazines that hire them. Oh how I would love to do that one day haha.

Choosing Natural Over Not

From abcnews 

More often than not, celebrities demand airbrushing to achieve the perfect look. But some take offense when their entire image is altered.

Jennifer Aniston boycotted Redbook after she said her head was placed on another woman’s body.

Kate Winslet, famous for defending the appearance of full figured women, said she wasn’t consulted on the digital changes that slimmed her body on the cover of GQ.

And in 2005, Newsweek sparked a controversy when it gave Martha Stewart a thinner illustrated body.

Some celebrities are bucking the trend of digital touch-ups. Jamie Lee Curtis bared all in a recent More magazine spread that showed her thighs in their true, unvarnished form. In People’s “100 Most Beautiful” issue last month, 10 stars chose to go make-up free.

What would you like fixed or touched up if you had your moment on a cover??
