Angelina Jolie Made Beotiful

Now, artists have the data to change physical aspects of celebrities on screen without changing what it is that makes them famous - their mojo. They can be made thinner, more voluptuous, less bald, etc. See what it did for me... just kidding, I didn't have a picture to go along with this story.
