Nov 4 2008Kate Winslet claims this isn't airbrushing at work

Kate Winslet is featured in the latest issue of Vanity Fair and is reportedly pissed at recent comments claiming her pictorial was airbrushed. Her rep issued the following statement to People:

"Kate is furious at suggestions that her body has been airbrushed. She is in terrific shape and what you see is how she looks or she would never have agreed to pose for those shots."

The Daily Mail brought in an airbrush artist who offered the harshest critique - because it's true:

The face: 'There is no real detail in her face. Any detail or wrinkles have been removed. There are no eye bags, contours and smile lines. The whites of her eyes have been cleaned up and are now a really clean, crisp white. I'd say her lips have possibly been made slightly fuller as well.'
The skin: 'Her skin has generally been retouched all over so she has no lines or blemishes at all. Her skin is completely perfect.'
The hands and feet: 'There are no wrinkles or lines or veins on her hands and feet and this just is not natural.'
The figure: 'Her back and lower body have been pinched in to make her look thinner and to give her some curves. Her bottom has been rounded off so it looks nice and pert. I would be very surprised if her bottom was like that naturally. Her thigh appears to have been made slimmer so it appears more toned.'

Okay, seriously, who is looking at these pics and thinking: "Yes, that's exactly how a woman looks." (Not counting World of Warcraft fanatics, and everyone who beats me at Halo.) So, c'mon, Kate Winslet, cut the crap. The freaking T-Rex from Jurassic Park looked more realistic. Your ass looks like Toy Story - and I'm talking the first one. Not the shinier second one where Woody gets too cool for the other toys, and I yelled "Stop being a dick!" in a theater full of toddlers.

Who cares...I'd hit that so hard she would walk bowlegged for a week. But she'll be smiling from ear to ear. One of those smiles that make people wonder.

first

second?

I'd get paint all over my cock to hit that Toy Story ass....

she's stupid for trying to argue that it isn't airbrushed.

that being said, i would fuck that from behind all night long.

In real life she's got a mommy body - pudgy, pock-marked, stretch-marked, cellulite here there and everywhere, saddlebag thighs, fallen boobs and butt.

Who the fuck wants to see that? If you're the husband of a mommy-body woman, you have to pretend to find her "still sexy" and not let her know that you visualize the 19-year-old next door in order to maintain an erection during sex. We're not her husband. Thank god for photoshop.

Max, you should have left it at "Who Cares." The rest of your comment proves what a douchebag you are. Chances are you would probably hit anything that would let you.

But at least you didn't say "FIRST!"

Do people realize that if John M. dies, Sarah P. will be RUNNING OUR COUNTRY?

I'd hit it airbrushed or not!

"Do people realize that if John M. dies, Sarah P. will be RUNNING OUR COUNTRY?"

Only if they're elected, Einstein.

A washed up, overly pale person who's clearly lying - how timely, a tribute to McCain!!!

i was expecting to see a cluster pimples on that ass....

This looks like something that would be painted on the side of a van. All that's missing are rainbows and an eagle.

To #10 Don't worry about it, McCain has as much chance of winning as Kevin Spacey does winning a wet t-shirt contest at Hooters.

Anyone who refers to Obama as a monkey is a retard.

This dude graduated Magna Cum Laude (look it up) from Harvard Law. He has a higher IQ then the last 2 generations of your inbred families combined. Now go make up some bologna sandwiches for dinner and don't forget to brush and floss your tooth before bed. Your mothers would have taught you that when you were a kid if she wasn't out turning tricks for meth all the time.

I'm just sick of you retards. And I am not even voting for Obama.

Anyone know what size feet she has? In the cover photo, they look really big, like what I'd imagine Frankentstein's Monster's feet would be like. In strappy heels that is. . .

Muy bueno el blog, muchas felicidades.

AS IF!

Why does it have to be airbrushed? Maybe she is just really fucking hot...

How is Sarah Palin being possibly president worse than Obama? Obama just flip flops everytime he opens his mouth! The guy just lies about everything. I love hearing him say something, then a few months later he says "thats a lie, that is not true I didnt say it" when I hear him say it. The Fact Checker's are Obama's worse enemy. McCain and Palin aren't great, but Obama and his sad little campaign is the worst mistake our country can make. The rest of the world wants Obama because they know he has a spine made of jelly, and he would put himself and personal interests above the country. Is that the kind of change you fools want? Personally, Id rather keep my money and take care of myself. Obama want's to take it all and do as HE thinks is best. History has shown he has terrible judgement.

bullshit. thats the fuzziest ass i've ever seen.

I'm also a photo retoucher. Been doing it for five years. Her skin has definitely been retouched all over, particularly in her face. As far as her waist being cinched, I say it's a hit or miss. Since her body has been retouched to emphasis the matte tone of the photo, the cinched look could possibly just be a product of the resulting shadowing.

That being said, there's nothing to be ashamed of with having had photo retouching, especially with skin blemishes/finishing. Think of it like digital foundation!

Kate Winslet, whether heavy or retouched is hot. Period.

Why does it matter? She's gorgeous with or without the airbrushing.

"Personally, Id rather keep my money and take care of myself"

This attitude has been the problem for 8 years. Don't worry 18, they don't tax unemployment checks...

Can I airbrush my woody into her?

Compare it to the picture on Wikipedia if you think this is close to real.

#18 it was William Taft, a REPUBLICAN, who we can all thank for the 16th Ammendment.

Big Brother and the Republican Holding Party's mind control propoganda campaign have taken hold in your weak mind.

Republicans are the real Socialists.

#18 - I agree, thanks for your support! It's good to hear from a pro-American, for once! And I have important news: when John McCain and I are elected today, we will enter the White House with a breakthrough anti-terrorism agreement with the President of Iran, Mr. Ahmayed Adoodi. I just got off the phone with him!!!

Why did they paste Keira Knightley's face on it?

Well she's right technically . That's computerised retouching. Nobody does airbrushing anymore.

I'd love to make her stay in that position until she can't hold it anymore and a small turd pushes out of her ass. Then I'd grab it and smear it all over her face. Who's with me??!!!!

Furthermore, we will restore Judeo-Christian morals and family values across the nation starting in Washington D.C. No more abortions. We will protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms. But most of all, Jesus will be our co-pilot!

dats nothing......see thr wonders of photoshopping

I knew jimbo was into dirt play,,,irrrrrk

So...anybody else wonder why Palin released her medical "records" (actually, just a note from her doctor) late last night, to technically comply with releasing them "before the election"? What is she hiding? 100 bucks says she had an abortion when she was young, before she got married.

I can't believe she use to weigh 200 in high school. That being said, she was very gifted in the torso region. Sometimes there is just more to love with having more to love!

My sources are saying she hasn't been 'hair-brushed' either.
(Can't vouch for the Brazilian (?) at present time)

#8 - If Obama, who is a smoker, dies, and Biden, who is old, dies that leaves Nancy Pelosi running the country. That is one crazy bitch.

Still have'nt gotten rid of the "cheeky" links yet I see fish-shit

I'll check back another day .........

Your stories are not good enough for me to spend an inordinate amount of time reading and putting up with those "weak-links"

If you have a British accent, you can probably suck off donkeys and people will still think you're classy.

Look at Kate Beckinsale. Or this slag. Sorry, classy is not being a wealthy actress and then marrying a Jew to have even more money. That's classy in the world of Valley of the Dolls, not in reality.

God, what an asshole! I mean, she's stunningly gorgeous and yet you find a way to pick her apart. Just let her be beautiful and shut up.

why don't you post the entire article from people. they also said that "The only retouching was the usual work on skin tone that happens in every glamour shoot," so that would account for the skin.

she's really not showing all that much so she probably wasn't made to look thinner with retouching. she's just posed awkwardly to appear more thin.

A pic of Winslet's ass is on the front page & you morons are talking about the election?

Get your priorities straight please.

I think vanity Fair are being 100% honest. It was not airbrushed. Airbrushes went out with the ark (and Nicole Richie).

That there my friend is a classic case of Photoshopping if ever I've seen one.

Leonardo Da Vincis drawing of her in the film, "Titanic" was more realistic. Cheers!

Not bad looking for a photo-shopped fat chick.......

Actually #23, unemployment checks ARE taxed:

If she even resembled these photos in the slightest then Leo wouldn't be Gay, would he. Case closed.

I firmly believe that this isn't airbrushed

Here's why she looks so good: 1) she is wearing something on her skin (full body) that makes it look even - she's literally glowing in a few spots, 2) THIS IS NOT A CLOSE-UP. Its shot from far away so whatever imperfections she does have are not visible, 3) she's wearing a fucking lot of makeup just like everyone else who ever had a spread like this in a magazine, 4) the blanket is positioned to obscure parts of her torso on both sides - THAT'S why she looks so thin, 5) the way the shot is lit is innately flattering - anyone would look good in this lighting.

I can never understand why people think that airbrushing is the only way to make someone look better than they do in real life.

Plus, I don't think she would go so far out of her way to say tha the picture isn't airbrushed if it were. Kate Winslet is not a warped product of Hollywood, she's a serious actress who grew up in England and lives in NYC. She is not a part of they mindset that airbrushing is just a way of life. I believe what her publicist said, if she hadn't been in good enough shape to do this w/o airbrushing, she wouldn't have done it.

I agree with #47 (though I think its just all over doby make-up, not some kind of suit...that'd be more obvious than it is). Also note the trench coat that obscures all of her body excep her shins and feet on the cover. These are strategically shot, which to me makes them even more well done.

However, I'm sure it was photoshopped at least a littel for lighting and such even if it weren't technically air brushed.

Eh, who cares. She is one of those naturally sexy type girls any guy would love to get with any day. She seems fun and down to earth. Comfortable with who she is. That is very sexy indeed. Bet she is great in the sack with that level of self-security, too.

No, we're looking at the photo thinking "Yes, that's exactly how a woman SHOULD look" ;-)

I wish someone would make me wak bowlegged for a week with a stupid grin on my face... *sigh*

Idiots. It's not airbrushed. It's photoshopped. :D

I would love to spread her ass apart and bury my nose and tongue in her asshole.

this is weird, just yesterday i read another online gossip blog that said she was pissed BECAUSE they photoshopped her. she has publicly said that she loves her full figure and was angry the LAST time they photoshopped her, so i doubt she'd shed the pounds like this.

They Photoshop everyone. It doesn't matter how nice your ass is in "real life," it's still got veins or zits or blotches, etc. They airbrush the shit out of every photo they put in magazines (except for the "stars without makeup" ones). Her ass does look a little too perfect to be true, but so what? Who wants to see an unperfect ass in a photo spread? Not me, and I don't particularly want to see Kate Winslet's ass.

RE "airbrush" - sorry, I meant Photoshop. They don't airbrush anymore. The only people who still airbrush are those dudes at the state fair who do those cartoony pictures of people for $10. And people who customize vans.

She is hot and sexy. She even uploaded her private sexy photos and videos at the fitness & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^FitnessKiss. C O M^^ ^^^^. She has a personal account there. She drives lots of guys crazy.

I agree with 47 and 48, this is just good photography.
Kate is sexier than hell and I am a woman saying that.
And to Rick, who is at the most 14 years old. Not every woman who has had a kid has what you call "a Mommy body." Well, prolly your Mommy , who you spy on when she showers.

Correction - I got airbrushed at FantasyFest...

It would've been kinda hard to be Photoshopped and walk down the street...

G0ds will must be done. Pray for that. Pray for our servicemen being sent to fight wars, they are being sent to do g0ds will. Pray for them as they do g0ds work.

And most of all, pray that I am elected Vice President! Oh yea, pray that John McCain is elected President!

botox, plastic surgery, little photoshop... all digital shots need a little touch up.
it doesn't even look like her... kinda bummed, but her face looks a lot tighter now.

#6 Rick -- you're an ass.

is that fur for f@#* sake. what the hell is wrong with these celebs. real sexy.

Was it a "shot" for HUSTLER-magazine?

Okay so I messed up with ole Palin. Just out of interest who would have voted for me if I'd had Winslett running with me?

Just so I can get an idea for next time...


@25. Max Planck - YIKES. That wikipedia pic could use a touch up. I'm wondering if they've been touched DOWN.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Kate_Winslet_at_the_BAFTAs_2007.jpg

she has my ass! LOL

......Kate Winslet is still alive?

ummm sexy? shes a pale pudgy plain jane u can find in most pubs in the uk......Applause to the airbrush artist he/she took at least 80lbs off

#6, pregnancy doesn't come close to doing that to most women. Certainly not ones who take care of themselves. But Kate's never had a good body even before the kid. So, it's probably true here.

uh the people at the daily mail need better hobbies.

I've seen similar work done with skillful lighting, and the color palette used in the publishing. No "airbrushing" (more properly, photoshopping...who uses an airbrush in this century?) required.

OF COURSE SHE HAS BEEN AIRBRUSHED!
It is a requirement in all high-end fashion magazines to have a clean, flawless picture, i.e PHOTOSHOPPED. NO ONES skin looks like that in a normal photo OR the greatest camera on Earth. ALRIGHT KATE, if it hasnt been airbrushed, we want to see the original picture! And we'll all compare the two! I bet you there'll be a hell of alot of difference! She looks like she has alien skin, like its painted almost. Shes been shaped, brushed, you name it. That is not her naturally. Who is she trying to kid???? Shes gained and lost weight, had kid/s, shes over 30, does she think we are the biggest f**king idiots ever?
Come on, show us the original picture f**king liar.

ya know.. i really don't care what anyone says, airbrushed or not i would wreck that chick... i would do unimaginable things to her and i dont even need my hands..

she is almost "too" perfect in this pic. i enjoyed her more at nuerotic impulsive Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
