Did ‘Self’ photoshop the crap out of Kelly Clarkson?
Self magazine is coming under criticism for retouching a cover photo of singer Kelly Clarkson.
A few months ago, Jenny McCarthy, she of the rock hard abs, said her cover photo was retouched to make her look more muscular. But after Self ran the original and retouched photo side-by-side and they showed little difference McCarthy backed down.
Lucy Danziger, editor-in-chief of the women’s health magazine, said on the magazine’s website that the “retouching” of the 27-year-old Clarkson is to make her “look her personal best.”
Readers on the Jezebel.com website disagreed.
“Hey, hi, Self ladies: None this changes or explains the fact that YOU ALTERED THE BONE STRUCTURE OF HER FACE,” wrote one.
Interestingly, in the article, Clarkson is above it all: “When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t. I’m fine!,’
