It’s no secret that celebrities get “repackaged” for covers and spreads of major magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair and GQ.
So, it is not uncommon to see A-List female entertainers such as Madonna, Mariah Carey, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Simpson, Tyra Banks and other superstars get airbrushed and Photoshopped so it looks like they have deceptively slim waists, incredibly perfect sun tans, racks the size of nuclear warheads, absolutely perfect hair and immaculate makeup and wardrobes.
As we all know, fame and money do have their privileges.
