Things to look out for. MI3 comes out on DVD in a few days; just in time for the wedding.

This whole Madonna adoption has gotten completely out of hand. Forgive the cynic in me, but it sounds to me that Daddy is trying to capitalize on the public outcry from this. Maybe he's hoping he can get a couple of extra bucks from Madonna to silence him. Who doesn't understand the concept of adoption?? Sorry, I just don't buy it, and I think he's trying to get just a bit more ?? / sympathy? / notoriety? / money? I, too, am almost feeling sorry for Madonna. Almost.

I think Jessica Alba is absolutely gorgeous, but I saw the cover of Elle for November and my mouth dropped open in horror. I would like to know what in God's name the photo editors were thinking. She looks so completely photoshopped. Look at her boobs! Why do they do this? No wonder so many girls have body issues when someone as beautiful as Jessica Alba is that manipulated on a magazine cover. Am I missing something here?

Wow Hermi ... I didn't even recognize her! Her boobs are too high or her waist is enlongated, something like that. Her face doesn't even look natural. So sad!!

I'd like the link to wherever she got that push up bra.

Do you think that is a push-up bra or photo manipulation? I swear those babies look like they are right under her neckline!!

Nothing about that picture looks normal to me. It would be interesting to see the shot done before any digital alteration to compare the two.

And I wonder why they felt the need to reprint all the text from the magazine on the cover, too... Man I've never seen that much text on a cover!!!

I think it's digital aleration. I don't understand how anyone would think this looks normal. Jessica is a beautiful girl. This is not a beautiful picture of her.

Of you? No not at all. I was being completely serious. It's a pet peeve of mine that cover cut lines keep getting longer and longer.

LOL. I couldn't tell, Yankee. I thought maybe you were gently ribbing me about my rant, you know, in a "lighten up" kind of way. But now that you mention it, there IS a lot of text on that cover. Maybe they are trying to hide the bad photo manipulation!

They slimmed her up so they could fit all the words on the cover.

I'm reading, "The Hollywood Issue: Why Stars look so Darn Good." Maybe they did this to Jessica to illustrate the story inside and show just how photoshopped the Hollywood crowd are. They have definitely stuck her head on another body, and a photoshopped body at that.

Here's a link to a slightly bigger image if anyone is interested: JESSICA ALBA It looks like it could be a shirt flap on her right, but not on her left. Very strange. Oh well. I rarely post in here, but I saw the magazine at the drugstore yesterday and was appalled, and then we were kind of talking in News and Views about society's expectations of women and it made me think of the Elle cover, but I didn't want to post it there.

Same old story. All of these stars are heavily made-up and PhotoShoped. I feel sorry for any young girl or woman who aspires to look like a star. What they don't know is that they probably look as good or better already.

This was posted in another thread, but thought given the discussion maybe we should post it here, too. Anyone with a daughter struggling with her image should see this film. We always *knew* the girls were worked in after-effects, but this really drives it home. http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.ca/film_fullscreen_evo.html

That is fantastic. I love the Dove commercials. I have two little girls and I want them to feel beautiful just the way they are (and they are beautiful).

I love that, Karen. Thanks for sharing it. Ladytex, I'm sorry. It's tough, isn't it, trying to get young girls to see that they are beautiful exactly as they are in their many different shapes and sizes? I know of 5 year old girls who are insecure because they think they are "too fat."

She's beautiful and has a very cute figure, Lady. Certainly not fat at all. It's a very scary thing to hear girls talk sometimes. I've heard Kota and her friends talk, and have had her tell me, about girls calling them fat at school. It ticks me off that at 7 and 8 girls are thinking about this kind of stuff. They should be worrying about their dolls or playing outside, not comparing bodies.
