VITAMEDIAS
Doctored cover photos add up to controversy: If you noticed that Julia Roberts' head is slapped on the wrong body on the cover of the new Redbook, you've got a sharp set of eyes.
In fact, Roberts and other Hollywood A-listers are fuming over altered magazine covers that look bizarre at best and disproportionately freakish at worst.
It's known as airbrushing, or digital manipulation.
Cover-by-numbers: That smile, these arms, this hairdo: Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston say Redbook magazine's last two covers display images of the actresses that were cobbled together by computer, without their knowledge, from old publicity or paparazzi photos.
Sarah Michelle Gellar says a recent cover of Seventeen, which used one of her publicity shots, was so poorly computer-altered that it looks like "an alien foot is attached to her arm," her lawyer told the New York Post.
