Photoshopped magazine covers - Andy Roddick, Brad Pitt, and more
If you would like to keep your sense of wonder and delight when looking at various magazine covers, then STOP READING.
However, if you’re a somewhat cynical broad like me, then let’s keep going, shall we?
Things must be really getting serious with Jennifer Aniston and her reported boyfriend, model Paul Sculfer, if OK! magazine decided to fake this photo to back up its cover story. According to media gossip blog Gawker.com, the magazine combined a picture of Aniston and a picture of Sculfer with Amy Sacco. The hands seen on Sculfer’s left shoulder belong to Sacco. Aniston may be trying to thwart the media speculation over her relationship — too bad for her, Photoshop does wonders these days.

The June/July issue of Men’s Fitness enhanced Andy Roddick’s bicep muscles — so much so that Roddick said he stopped in his tracks when he saw the cover while walking through the airport. The tennis star dubbed the hulking masses “22-inch guns” and wrote on his blog, “If you can manage to stop laughing at the cover long enough, check out the article inside.”

This Star magazine cover trumpets a great scoop — Brad and Angelina caught together on vacation! Only, not so much. The magazine doctored two separate ocean-side pictures of each actor. Tucked away on page 8 was a disclaimer noting the image is a “composite of two photographs.”

The March 7, 2005, issue of Newsweek magazine combined Martha Stewart’s face with a professional model’s body to show what she might look like when she got out of prison. The magazine noted the photo was a fake, but some journalists said that the image could have easily been mistaken for the real thing.

She’s a Franken-friend! Jennifer Aniston’s publicist said that this June 2003 Redbook cover was a mash-up of three different photos; the actress reportedly considered legal action. Redbook said it only changed the color of her shirt and lengthened her hair.

The very next month, Redbook did it again. On the magazine’s July 2003 cover, Julia Roberts’ head comes from a paparazzi shot taken at the 2002 People’s Choice awards. Her body, meanwhile, is from the “Notting Hill” movie premiere four years earlier.

A January 2003 GQ cover shaved several inches off actress Kate Winslet’s thighs. Winslet called the retouching “excessive.” “I can tell you they’ve reduced the size of my legs by about a third,” she said about the image.

Can you tell the difference between the picture on the left and the picture on the right? In the photo on the left, look at the middle, far-left side. A smiling black face was inserted into the crowd to create the appearance of diversity at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Other schools, organizations and political campaigns have been accused of inserting people of other races into their promotional literature to promote their “diversity.”

This digitally altered photograph of O.J. Simpson’s mug shot appeared on the cover of Time magazine shortly after Simpson’s arrest for alleged murder in June 1994. The same mug shot appeared unaltered on the cover of Newsweek. Time was accused of manipulating the photograph to make Simpson appear darker and more “menacing.”

On Feb. 16, 1994, the front page of Newsday ran a picture of archrivals Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding skating together, but that hadn’t happened. As the caption said, the Olympic competitors “appear to skate together in this New York Newsday composite illustration.” The photo touched off a fierce debate about journalistic ethics.
