Lena Dunham Slams Magazine For Photoshop; Publishers Hit Back

After a middling (at best) third season, Girls is off to a strong start in its fourth go-round, and even more impressively, the show’s co-creator and star, Lena Dunham, has kept things mostly controversy-free throughout the pre-season promotional blitz.

Unfortunately, it looks like as of today, Lena will have to re-set the “days since last public feud with a major publication” sign that undoubtedly hangs beneath an Edison light bulb in her Brooklyn office that we’re gonna assume was converted from a meat packing plant, or some other such hipster cliche. 

The 29-year-old’s latest tiff stems from the above cover of the Spanish-language pop culture magazine El Pais Tentaciones.

Dunham posted a photo of the cover on Instagram, along with the following caption:

“This is NOT what my body has ever looked like or will ever look like – the magazine has done more than the average photoshop…If you’re into what I do, why not be honest with your readers?”

Surprisingly, the staff at Tentaciones immediately shot back with a statement in which they not only deny any Photoshop wrongdoing, but also claim that a copy of the original photo was sent to Lena’s team, who approved it for publication.

Even if Lena is just stirring up controversy or simply mistaken, it’s obviously not as bad as the time she compared online criticism to domestic abuse, and it’s certainly not as bad as when she wrote about inappropriately touching her sister in her memoir.

Hell, it’s not even as bad as the time she played Homer’s mistress on an episode of The Simpsons (arguably her most underrated scandal), but if someone on her staff really did sign off on the photo, she may have pointed a finger in the wrong direction.

Justin Bieber: Naked for Clash Magazine! Sort Of!

Clash Magazine has celebrated its milestone 100th issue in the perfect, sexiest and most seductive of ways:

NAKED JUSTIN BIEBER!

Indeed, the singer covers this random publican by standing in his birthday suit on the beach, a hat over his head, but nothing at all over his sleek, hairless body.

Unfortunately, the editors cut the photo off around Justin’s waist, right before we get to the good, private stuff.

An excerpt from the feature story has found its way online, however, and it once again features Bieber referencing the many image-altering hiccups he’s faced along the way.

Nearly all of which (drunk driving, restaurant bucket peeing, egg throwing, etc.) were his own doing, of course.

“I made mistakes. Part of being a man is owning up to that,” he tells Clash.

And part of being Justin Bieber is often posing with your shirt off.

He does so in every photo above and he also does so in the latest issue of GQ.

Bieber stars in a new video from that publication, talking in detail about his tattoos and then touching on God in his chat with the magazine itself.

“I feel like that’s why I have a relationship with Him, because I need it,” Bieber tells GQ of The man Upstairs, adding:

“I suck by myself. Like, when I’m by myself and I feel like I have nothing to lean on? Terrible. Terrible person… 

“It just gives me some sort of hope and something to grasp onto, and a feeling of security, and a feeling of being wanted, and a feeling of being desired, and I feel like we can only get so much of that from a human.”

Wow. That’s the most open and honest we’ve ever heard Justin Bieber. We’re impressed. We’re sort of moved.

And we still want to see him go full frontal.

Kylie Jenner Goes Pantsless For Cover of Wonderland Magazine

Sure we’ve seen Kylie Jenner pantsless before, but that doesn’t mean the 18-year-old Instagram queen won’t earn our attention every time she poses for a photo without society’s most crucial article of clothing.

Especially when said photo winds up on the cover of a magazine:

Yes, Kylie decided to let her legs breathe while posing for the latest issue of Wonderland magazine, and the amazing thing is that despite going sans-pants, the pic is actually pretty tame by Kylie’s standards.

Considering how many times we’ve seen Kylie nearly nude, any photo where only her legs are bare is a surprising change of pace.

If the pajama-like top looks familiar, it may be because Beyonce wore the same thing in her “Formation” music video – except, ya know, she wore pants, too.

That Kylie is always taking things a step further than Queen Bey. She probably takes Tyga to Joe’s Crab Shack instead of Red Lobster.

As for what Kylie talks about inside the mag…well, we have no idea.

Naturally, she’s posted the cover image all over social media, but thus far her only comment has been, “I love how different this cover is.”

Is it really that different, Kylie? If you’re wondering where the photographer found his inspiration, you might want to scroll through your own Instagram page.

Miley Cyrus: Topless, Weird for Plastik Magazine

Miley Cyrus has ended the year in a very similar way to how Miley Cyrus started the year:

By being very weird and mostly naked.

Over the past couple weeks, Cyrus has returned to her often-nude and very unusual ways, first acting like a literal big baby in her music video for “BB Talk.”

She also ate some pizza while rocking pink body flitter for Paper Magazine.

Now, the artist is covering the publication Plastik, which reportedly is a real thing.

The magazine has come out with four different Miley-based covers, putting them on sale for either $ 45 or $ 25.

In the first, as pictured above, Cyrus is wearing chocolate-covered strawberry as an eye patch.

In the second, also pictured above, she’s having some intimate fun with cellophane.

In the next two, posted below, Cyrus is covering her entire body (and face) with cellophone, while also sitting around with a lot of frosting, some dude and a dog.

These are a tad more dirty. Click for the uncensored versions:

“Devil without a cause I’m going plastik!!!!! #mileygoesplastik @plastikmagazine @vijatm,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram as a caption to one of these images.

Cyrus, of course, is no stranger to posing without any clothing on, nor is she a stranger to seriously lewd acts.

Remember that whole prosthetic penis thing during a recent Chicago concert? It’s impossible to forget.

Miranda Kerr: Nude Magazine Cover Stirs Up Controversy

First, the good news: Miranda Kerr is naked again, this time on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Australia.

Now the bad news: People on the Internet are super pissed about it.

Moments after the image was posted on the magazine’s Instagram page, hundreds of angry commenters expressed their displeasure.

The issue seems to boil down to two main complaints:

1. Even Playboy doesn’t do nudes anymore, and many seem to feel that other periodicals should follow suit by showing less skin.


2. Harper’s Bazaar is primarily a fashion magazine, and well, aside from stylish Louboutin shoes, Miranda’s not rocking a lot of fashion on the cover.

“This magazine was once considered a fashion bible,” wrote one irate IG user. “No wonder Playboy mag died out. Who needs porn mags when fashion mags are holding the torch?”

“How can they think as readers of a fashion magazine we want to look and read something akin to a men’s mag?” wrote another. “Very sad that this is what is on the cover. I thought this was a fashion magazine, not a version of Playboy.”

Of course, we doubt that Miranda or the folks at Harper’s are very concerned. 

You can’t sneeze without someone on the Internet taking issue with it these days, and this is one of those cases where we’re guessing the critics are just a very vocal minority.

Let’s all agree to save out outrage for the next time Miranda has sex with Justin Bieber, mmm-kay?

John Stamos: Pantsless For Paper Magazine

Apparently, when John Stamos heard that Full House was coming back to TV, he decided to keep the throwback trend going by making himself a tabloid staple, just like he was in his Uncle Jesse days.

First, Stamos was arrested for DUI and was put through the usual apology tour and rehab paces. Now, the dude is going full Kardashian and attempting to break the Internet with an artsy ass shot.

Yeah, that’s John Stamos’ butt alright.

The pic is from the new issue of Paper magazine, which, of course, is the same publication that brought us Kim Kardashian’s oiled-up ass last year.

Apparently, Paper is attempting to corner the market on celebrity ass photos. They should change the name to Paper Covered With Photos of Famous Butts.

It’s a mouthful, but at least subscribers would know exactly what they’re in store for, ya know?

As far as we can tell there’s no reason for why John decided to lose the pants and keep the shirt. We guess sometimes you just feel like waving in your dong at the passing pedestrians on the street below.

And at this point in his career, John Stamos can pretty much do whatever he wants.

Except get the Olsen twins fired. We’re guessing he still couldn’t pull that off.

Paris Hilton: Nude for Paper Magazine! Still Alive, Apparently!

Move over, Kim Kardashian. And then put your pants back on.

Because someone you know rather well just took hers off for Paper Magazine.

About a year after Kardashian tried to break the Internet via a naked pictorial in Paper, former close friend and employee Paris Hilton has gone ahead and done the same.

Unlike Kim, however, Hilton is fully dressed for the cover of this issue. See above.

Just like Kim, however, she’s exposing her rear end inside the issue. See for yourself by clicking on the following censored photo:

In the above racy snapshot, Hilton is donning a one-piece silver jumpsuit with a completely covered front and an open back, showing off her tush.

It’s only appropriate, of course, for Hilton to follow in Kim’s bare footsteps here, considering the Kim Kardashian sex tape would never have existed if not for the Paris Hilton sex tape.

Before she became an A-Lister in her own right, Kardashian served as Hilton’s personal assistant and friend.

Hilton’s stock has fallen considerably, however, almost in sync with the rise in fame and wealth of her ex-BFF.

Paris is actually working as a DJ these days, telling Paper that she always has “jet lag” due to flying around so often for her job.

“I feel blessed to be in a position where I can make a change for those less fortunate or give a voice to causes that need it,” she also says in this interview.

It’s unclear just how showing off half her birthday suit is accomplishing these goals, but hey. We’re not complaining!

As you can see above with Kim and below with Miley Cyrus, Hilton is merely the latest celebrity to take her clothes off for this publication.

Khloe Kardashian Covers People Magazine; Is She Exploiting Lamar Odom?

Khloe Kardashian covers the new issue of People, and naturally, she talked with the mag about Lamar Odom’s overdose and difficult recovery process.

It was only a matter of time before Khloe gave a full interview about the traumatic events of the past few weeks, but the tremendous amount of media attention being heaped upon the 31-year-old (and the fact it corresponds with the release of Khloe’s new book) has many wondering if she’s spending too much time on press and promotions and not enough time with Lamar.

“All I knew was I had to get there,” Kardashian tells People about Odom’s hospitalization.

“I had to get to him and make sure he was okay. I hate that he was in that situation. I wouldn’t want anybody in that situation, especially someone I love and care about.

“I loved him always, and I will always love him. I don’t believe love is fickle. I believe when you love someone, you are allowed to love from afar. You don’t have to be with that person in order to love him.”

Clearly, Khloe’s feelings for Lamar are genuine, but most folks wouldn’t be able to fathom sitting down for a lengthy interview while they had a loved one fighting for their life in a hospital bed. 

Khloe’s press tour, along with the fact that Kris Jenner is already cashing in on Lamar’s recovery, have left many wondering if Lamar is being forced back into the Kardashian media machine much too soon.

Zendaya Calls Out Magazine for Photoshop, Aims to Keep It Real

Zendaya Coleman is all about keeping it real.

The young actress, who has never been afraid to speak her mind, has taken issue with the latest issue of Modeliste.

The 19-year old jumped on Instagram early Wednesday to call out the publication for running an edited picture of her inside its cover this month.

“Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated,” Zendaya wrote, posting side-by-side comparisons of the two images.

The one on the right, above, is the original version; the one on the left has been Photoshopped.

“These are the things that make women self conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have,” Zendaya added.

“Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self love.”

The magazine actually replied to Zendaya’s criticism and removed the pictures, prompting Coleman to write in response:

“Thank you @modelistemagazine for pulling down the images and fixing this retouch issue.”

Zendaya, of course, found herself at the center of another fashion-related scandal back when she wore her hair in braids on the Academy Awards red carpet… and Giuliana Rancic took issue with the look.
