celebs wanting to look their best is one thing; but being airbrushed all to hell is another. removing a big ugly carbuncle or if their face breaks out like a road map on picture, day some touch up is fine. artists allowing mags to splash images of them on covers that bear only a slight resemblance to them reeks of vanity and huge amounts of wishful thinking. besides, seeing them televised or live(although made up) can be somewhat of a letdown.

of course, britney isn't the only guilty one. xtina just did a shoot for marie claire displaying a fake ass massively photoshopped cover.

both christina, britney and many others look good enough naturally without all the 'phoney-shop'!
