Completely (PHOTOSHOPPED) Woman


Remember when Faith Hill/Redbook had that huge photoshop controversy... Well, congratulations to Complete Woman magazine, for going above and beyond the call of duty in celebrity Photoshopping. It's not exactly a secret that no real person can live up to the carefully crafted images that appear on the covers of magazines (at least I'd like to think so) -- but at least those mags are trying to make the photos look kind of plausible - like a human.

This photo of Ashlee Simpson, on the other hand, has been doctored so much that she looks more like a lifeless china doll than an actual human being. Looks like the magazine let their junior photo editor take a crack at this one -- and he went way overboard. I think most people accept that this kind of photo manipulation is part of the game, but this is just plain ridiculous.

I mean, did you even know it was Ashlee Simpson? Or is this just a product of all of the "surgery" she's had... Seriously looks like Barbie.

Mental Floss


I just came across this publication and it is pretty awesome. It's a magazine full of random knowledge and is meant to stimulate both halves of the brain.


"We're the sort of intelligent that you hang out with for a while, enjoy our company, laugh a little, smile a lot and then we part ways. Great times. And you only realize how much you learned from us after a little while. Like a couple days later when you're impressing your friends with all these intriguing facts and things you picked up from us, and they ask you how you know so much, and you think back on that great afternoon you spent with us and you smile."


Sounds like Viki needs a subscription!
