This isn’t one of those super extreme cases, where you can’t even recognize the celebrity on the cover, so question:

Are you OK with using Photoshop to this extent?

Rihanna Looks Thin(ner) on Elle’s Cover

Rihanna Looks Thin(ner) on Elles Cover  | rihanna celebrity quotes

Thinner, aka unnecessarily photoshopped. Check out that tiny waist!

And the short-haired beauty has something to share:

“I went to a Jean Paul Gaultier show, and I saw girls who are thicker than me, beautiful and voluptuous and different ethnicities. That made me so excited,” the singer continued. “I thought, Okay, I can work that, for sure.”
“There are definitely fewer black women in the high-fashion industry. One of the things I respected most about Gucci was that they did a print campaign with me. I’m a black girl on a fashion spread for Gucci. That was a big deal.”

What do you think about Rihanna’s cover & quotes?

Catherine Zeta-Jones looked quite skinny at a recent event, where she showed off her thinner figure in a fuchsia bandage dress.

“I find this wave of super-skinny women scary. I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve got to drag myself down to the gym like everybody else. But I look at the red carpet sometimes and it’s like a pageant. I’m quite a broad girl, not at all delicate.

… said Catherine a while back.

Here’s Catherine a year ago:

Kelly Osbourne Looked “10 Pounds Skinnier” With a Tan

Kelly Osbourne Looked 10 Pounds Skinnier With a Tan | kelly osbourne celebrity weight measurements beauty body image

This sounds interesting! Let’s see the details from NYDN:

The naturally pale-skinned reality star has come under fire after claiming a self-tanning cream makes her look 10 pounds skinner, London’s Daily Mail reports.

The Prince’s Trust charity — for whom Osbourne is an ambassador — has pulled its endorsement of the star’s St. Tropez ad campaign after parents argued the spray tan company’s message was inappropriate for the disadvantaged children the organisation seeks to help.

Titled “Self Esteem” the advertisements suggested that feeling good about oneself is tied to looking thin and pretty.

“I looked healthy, I looked like 10 pounds skinnier, and it started to make me look at my body in a different way,” Osbourne said in the video, which has since been removed from St. Tropez’s Web site.

“It made me look at what looked better rather than what I didn’t like, and I kind of got addicted.”

The company’s “colour expert” then proceeded to exclaim about the reality star’s physical transformation.

Abi Moore, who founded a group on the impact of marketing on girls in Britain, sent a letter to the company to cease its association with the ad campaign. The letter was co-signed by a psychologist and two authorities on consumer marketing’s effect on children.

Soon after, Prince’s Trust announced it was no longer backing the St. Tropez ads. But the fake tan company will still donate $15 to the charity from each bottle ($75) sold.
