+ Known for her famous, full eyebrows, Cara Delevingne probably shocked some of her brow worshipers fans when she admitted that she's willing to do anything for a film role - including shaving her head and eyebrows!

+ Ever dream of being Victoria Beckham? Well you can at least get married like her, as her gold wedding crown is up for auction for around $32,000.

+ Jennifer Lawrence looked fabulously gothic chic in a Christian Dior gown at the Paris premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Unfortunately it looks as though her co-star Elizabeth Banks should've borrowed Lawrence's stylist for the event...

+ Miranda Kerr apparently doesn't know what her own body looks like, as she denies knowing an image of herself she posted was heavily-Photoshopped, claiming that she had no idea that the photo was altered.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,

The mother of one and currently estranged wife of Orlando Bloom has been accused of heavily Photoshopping images of herself for Instagram. Although she couldn't appear in Wednesday's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, she posted a photo of herself (full photos seen after the jump) alongside models Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra Ambrosio from last year's show with a caption reading, "Sending love and best wishes to the #vsangels from Japan xxx." Having seen the original image taken and published by Vogue, fans were quick to point out that Kerr's waist and face are considerably thinner in the version she posted.

PHOTOS: Pre-Photoshop Madonna for Dolce and Gabbana

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,

Yet another celebrity’s pre-Photoshop images are outed by the internet. This time, it’s Madonna for Dolce & Gabbana.

Although the untouched photo may not be the best angle or lighting, it is very clear that Madonna’s controversial arms have been de-muscled in the ads, in addition to some heavy editing done to her nose and chin. Her eye makeup isn’t very flattering either, which is perhaps why the ads were printed in black and white.

Either way, the Queen of Pop works hard for her toned form; she should be able to flaunt—not drastically alter—it!

Items Du Jour: Marion Sans Photoshop, Lenny Kravitz Wears Heels

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

—An ad that actually features Taylor Momsen’s face for John Galliano’s latest perfume product was released with Momsen wearing more clothes and a little less makeup. But just barely.

—The designer of Lady Gaga’s controversial meat dress, Franc Fernandez, takes a moment to answer some questions. Not surprisingly, he wasn’t fond of answering the animal rights-related one.

—Now that her little sister is out of the picture, Beyonce took it upon herself to model the House of Dereon’s new temporary tattoo product. The tattoos were actually added to the Fall collection in an attempt to make it “ediger.”

—Lenny Kravitz recently stepped out in New York channeling his inner Marc Jacobs as he sported a cowl-neck jumper with a murse and thigh-high heeled boots to match.

—Reality star and former Playboy girlfriend Holly Madison is putting her love of shoes aside to help out a charity set to raise $50,000 for victims of natural disasters.

Crystal Renn Blasts Airbrushing

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

Plus-size supermodel Crystal Renn was horrified after bosses airbrushed 30lbs off her frame for a campaign poster.

Crystal, who is a size 10, says the pictures for the Fashion for Passion advertisements no longer look like her because her appearance has been altered so much. 

“They brushed about 30lbs off my body. I sat there in silence for so long when I saw the pictures. I couldn’t believe what they’d done. It didn’t look like me. Don’t cut inches off my thighs. Don’t make me a size two when I’m a 10. It’s totally misleading. Fashion should be about a beautiful girl in beautiful clothes, not this size obsession. It’s dangerous. But if I have a zit or cellulite, take it off!”

Items Du Jour: Jessica Alba Saves the Day, Tom Ford Confirms Next Film

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

—Louis Vuitton models walked down the catwalk with temporary tattoos from artist Scott Campbell. Ed Hardy much?

—Actress Jessica Alba has completed her good deed of the week, swaying a 21 year-old Chinese woman from getting plastic surgery to look like her, in hopes of winning her ex-boyfriend back.

—Burberry’s Fall/Winter 2010 ad campaign has hit the interwebs. The photos star a beautiful and British blend of models and musicians. Great, another reason to be jealous of not being British.

—After the critical success of his directorial debut, it’s no wonder that Tom Ford is taking on a second film. Unfortunately, he’s not letting any details slip just yet.

—Emma Watson attended the Glastonbury Music Festival looking somewhat stylish. I’m loving her Louis Vuitton corset, but not necessarily agreeing with her choice in blue jean shorts.

Mischa Barton Heavily Photoshopped in Philipp Plein Ad

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

The acting world doesn’t seem to want her, so Mischa Barton marches on with her recent foray into modeling. As of late, Barton appears in an ad campaign for German fashion designer Philipp Plein looking thinner (not to mention also oddly proportioned) than in real life.

In light of the onslaught of negative reactions to Ralph Lauren and Ann Taylor’s overly photo edited images, you’d think that clothing designers would have taught their graphic artists a lesson. Although Barton’s pose is odd to begin with, her waist and right hip and thigh look abnormal!

What do you think of the ad?

Lindsay Lohan to Pose Nude With or Without SCRAM Bracelet

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Rumors, Accessories,

Never underestimate a career-less

newly-sober celebrity. Lindsay Lohan is willing to bare it all again for the camera—with or without her chunky alcohol monitoring bracelet.

The 23 year-old stripped down once for New York Magazine when she channeled Marilyn Monroe; this time, Lohan’s cause is for her 6126 collection. Expected to shoot next month in Los Angeles, Richard Luna of The California Bag—the company that licenses Lohan’s handbags—has some interesting ideas to get around the SCRAM accessory.

“We’re thinking of having police on hand so we can remove the ankle bracelet for the pictures,” he said. He then said that they may take photos with and without the bracelet, noting that it could be airbrushed out later.

Such a classy model—no wonder Ungaro wanted her!

Shockingly Slimmer Rihanna Covers Elle

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Health & Beauty, News,

Just when we thought that fashion magazines would be more careful about trimming down celebrities for their covers, Rihanna‘s July Elle cover is raising some eyebrows.

Known for her toned yet curvy waist and hips, Rihanna’s waist looks unrealistic and derriere is nearly absent. While some may argue that her stance causes her waist to look smaller, this is true; however, compared to a candid photo during her January vacation, her bottom half still looks larger in a similar contorted pose. Has Elle gone too far in Photoshop?

If you’re still unsure, check out a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot after the jump.

—After 7 years at the French fashion house, Jean Paul Gaultier will be leaving Hermès to concentrate on his own label. His last collection will be the Spring/Summer 2011 range scheduled to debut this October at Paris Fashion Week.

—If anyone can bring the fanny pack back, it’s Rihanna. The print-happy R&B singer was spotted in Ireland sporting a leopard Dolce & Gabbana bag around her waist. Sightseeing in style!

—After a year of everyone chasing down Olivier Theyskens following his departure from Nina Ricci, the designer is finally coming out with his first project. Theyskens is set to design a capsule collection for Theory, scheduled to appear in their Spring/Summer 2011 range.

—Kelly Osbourne has opted for a new hair color and admits that she’s become an exercise addict, going to the gym even when she doesn’t feel well!

—Kristen Stewart graces the cover for UK Elle looking… awkward. Not only does her face look strained, but her pose is slightly contorted (in a bad way). Twi-hards really ought to stop gobbling up these magazines; I’m rather tired of seeing her on fashion magazines.
