Skinny VS Curvy

Here we go again – take stunning Keira Knightley, undress her till… almost topless, then transform her A-cup bust into a nice, yet fake B cup, then place her on the newest Chanel ad. The Daily Mail has the details:

Brushed up nicely: Keira Knightley in the new Chanel advert appears to have a digitally-enhanced bust. And she is certainly looking particularly buxom bearing in mind she has bemoaned her lack of curves in the past. Stripped to the waist her chest is covered only by a pair of braces, with her bust looking noticeably fuller that usual.

Airbrushing expert Chris Bickmore said Miss Knightley’s skin had been smoothed and her chest enlarged.

‘Her face has definitely been retouched, there are no lines or wrinkles at all,’ he said. ’The whites in her eyes have been made a cleaner white and there are no lines on her neck, body or even the back of her hand where there would definitely be some detail. ‘Her breast has had some shading added to it to give it the effect of being rounder and more pert and it has also been increased in size slightly.’

Yesterday Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone, who has been campaigning against excessive airbrushing in advertisements along with fellow MP Jo Swinson said advertisers should point out where images have been altered. She said:

‘Keira is a beautiful woman and that’s the point. ’If the image has been airbrushed then people need to know so they don’t try and achieve what is totally unrealistic. ’Young girls especially will try and aspire to things which often they can’t achieve and which will leave them feeling bad about themselves. ’Where an image has been altered and retouched, we are simply saying there needs to be a symbol showing what has been done and where.’

The actress attracted controversy in 2004 when she revealed that the publicity posters for her film King Arthur had been digitally altered. While the British posters displayed her natural boyish look, the American ones showed her with a clearly inflated chest.

‘Those things certainly weren’t mine,’ she told a U.S. magazine at the time (see picture below). ’We had an interesting discussion when they said, “We want to make them slightly larger and you’ll get approval’ and I was like, “OK, fine. I honestly don’t give a s***”. ‘She then admitted in 2006: ‘I don’t have any t***,so I can’t show cleavage.’

It’s not just Knightley’s small bust which has attracted attention.

Last year the actress’s mother Sharman Macdonald denied that her daughter had an eating disorder, saying she has simply inherited her naturally skinny physique from her father, 63-year-old actor Will Knightley. She said her daughter has never had to diet but instead followed a special eating plan – high in protein and carbohydrates – to keep weight on. Miss Macdonald, 58, claimed the actress must ‘eat like a horse’ to keep herself at a healthy weight. Last night a spokesman for Chanel refused to say whether or not the star’s figure had been digitally altered saying: ‘We have no comment.’

Real Keira VS Photoshopped Keira *check out the bust* for King Arthur in the U.S.:

This makes me pretty angry and I will never-ever understand it.

I’ve been asked by many of you to do this, so here you all go:

On the left, Kate Moss on her free time, natural and make-up less.
On the right, Kate on the cover of W Magazine, with the perfect make-up on, styling, in the perfect light and helped by Photoshop. This “magazine Kate” seems to have everything… just no wrinkles.

I think Kate is a great model, she is beautiful and she has a great bone structure…. but I just wish the difference between daily Kate and cover-girl Kate wouldn’t be as big, because the second picture sets unrealistic & false standards for the regular 35 year-old woman (Kate’s age).

Here’s the rest of the shoot:

Share your thoughts!

The answer is here: The real, untouched picture is… the one in the middle!

In other words, the skinniest Angelina is the real Angelina.

And one more picture for you…

Kelly Clarkson may not have an issue with her weight, but a digitally slimmed-down image of the singer on the cover of Self magazine is causing waves online.

Lucy Danziger, editor-in-chief of the women’s health magazine, is speaking out in defense of “retouching” the 27-year-old singer in order to make her “look her personal best” on the September issue.

“Yes. Of course we do retouching,” Danziger writes in a post on Self.com. “Did we alter her appearance? Only to make her look her personal best.”

Calling Clarkson “the picture of confidence,” Danzinger writes, “I think this photo is the truest we have ever put out there on the newsstand.”

But many readers have expressed disappointment and outrage over the digitally slim Clarkson. “Hey, hi, Self ladies: None this changes or explains the fact that YOU ALTERED THE BONE STRUCTURE OF HER FACE,” write one reader on jezebel.com where the controversy is stewing.

Adds another reader: “Taking out red eye and airbrushing a pimple would be making her look her personal best. You completely changed the way her body looked. Why even bother asking Kelly Clarkson to pose in your magazine if you didn’t think her body fit into your idea of what was best?”

In the Self article, Clarkson defends her figure. “When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t. I’m fine!,’ ” Clarkson says. “I’m never trying to lose weight – or gain it,” she added. “I’m just being!”

This is not the first photo flap the singer has been involved with: In January Clarkson wrote on her blog that “they Photoshopped the crap out of me!” on her All I Ever Wanted album cover image. Check her photoshopped album cover HERE!

REALLY? They made her look her best? So “her best” is minus 30 lbs, while she clearly says that she is fine with her weight?!

What do you think about all this?

Angelina Jolie is very skinny these days – but just how thin is she?

Can you guess the unphotoshopped picture?

Give your best shot!

Come back tomorrow to see the answer!

Real picture: Middle one!
