“Photoshop is just like makeup. When it’s done well it looks great, and when it’s overdone you look like a crazy asshole.” Tina Fey

^ I agree with her. It should probably be taken that I agree with her about everything except when stated otherwise, though. Because she is awesome.

Noted :). Still, I would have liked the pics to have been completely untouched.

Finding a photographic still that hasn't been Photoshopped these days is near impossible - the ones you think haven't been have just been done well (or the ones that are real are those tabloid pics from the street with accompanying "[Celebrity X] ill/drunk/hungover/heartbroken! Compare with [gorgeous picture taken in studio with correct lighting, flattering backdrop, good makeup, slight photoshoppery]!"

(I mean, even when you're watching the shows these actors are on, they're stopped every three seconds to touch up hair/makeup/change lighting/angle of shot to make them look amazing. It's not like you ever see them as normal)

I want to see them as normal, though! I most like the ones taken in the street without shit on.

I know, but
