in this day and age there is no cover which hasn't been through a little photoshop surgury. so what? i agree with Kim. It didnt really shock me anyway.

she's a stunning girl, and she has zero reason to be self conscious. photos like the ones you posted on this page right here aren't photoshopped I'm assuming, and she looks amazing! I think there are a ton of girls out there who would LOVE to look like her unphotoshopped picture. Too much fuss for nothing over that pic...

This is probably the 1st I can say I really like her response, at least she's not denying it (hello, mischa).

I didn't know until I was in my 20's that most, if not all women, have visible pores. LOL

She is beautiful and sexy. I lover very much.I don't think her photos need photoshop.I see more her private sexy photos and blog on the ...wealthyfish.com...

Bravo Kim. [and I'm not a fan]. It's refreshing to see anyone in Hollywood that is in the spotlight who has a + body image. I always dismissed her as one of the pile of girls who are famous for nothing at all, but if she keeps sending girls these "love yourself for who you are" messages, I'll become one of her fans.

I love how she's care free about it and open about it! I love how she admires her figure and doesn't care about being stick thin like everyone else. Hate her but love her. :)

It was not only the cellulite that was touched up. Her legs, arms and waist were made thinner, the sides of her hair line was brought lower and her skin tone was made lighter. Although she is proud of her look, the magazine was not. Then the magazine tried to exploit her... shameful. I'm just glad that women are informed that the perfect images out there are not always real and that they be happy with who they are.

I think that she said the right things and I hope she means them. But if you think about it what else was she going to say to this? Its prefect PR for her is she came out with this statement.

She did a great job handling this drama. And yes, every photo is photoshopped that you see in a magazine. She's right, what woman doesn't have a little cellulite? And it's not just the "curvy" girls with it, I'm tall and thin, yet I admit I have it too. She's looks great without the photoshopping!

She is so vapid and disgusting. All she does is spend her time getting made up and shoving her fat ass into trashy attire for 'photoshoots'. No redeemable qualities and nothing intelligent to say. A total and complete waste of space. If you dont want to be called fat then work out and stop eating shit. End of story. And not all women have cellulite, I did when I was FAT but now I am skinny and fit and guess what the fuckin nasty cellulite WENT AWAY. WOW. How about that for genius. Lift weights and you will have a beautiful body and NO CELLULITE. Kim is a lazy little pig and her body shows it.

anon above me is wrong, I am underweight, and I have cellulite. its not to do with BEING fat, its to do with the way women store their fat.

Often thn women have more visible cellulite than heavier women. There is no escaping it. You can run, you can hide, you can deny all you want but it is still going to be there. I really think magazine editors need to sit down and discuss the photoshop issue. What is the point of having a celebrity pose on the cover when they photoshop her so much she doesn't resemble herself, and begins to look like a animated robot?

It *is* funny because of this... if this had been jessica simpson, jennifer aniston, paris hilton, britney, etc... people would have TRASHED them. All they are really doing with Kim is saying "haha busted" - but it's really like no big deal.
People are weird. I doubt there has been a magazine cover of any celebrity for at least 5 years that has *not* been airbrushed. Why would they think this is any different?

to all you who are bewildered about why kim is famous...it is because she is absolutely stunning...and the world has seen her face...among other things...so continue to talk trash and bash her...but she is stunning...like mind numbingly beautiful...so there.

I think she looks great. she looks pretty close to the retouched pics! Shes a beautiful woman no doubt about that.

Errr... isn't the point that she goes on about being curvy and proud but then lets herself be photoshopped, thereby becoming one of the idealised beauties she claims to oppose. I'm just saying.

Did anyone else noticed that also tucked in her ears, arm and lips? not to mention the clothing got a new shape too.

WE all know that every pic in mags have this done, ya really think no one has a zit pop up in picture day? or that they don't have goosebumps or pores? umm, right.

even though she didn't ask for it to come out I applaud her post about it. I hope she isn't secretly embarrassed!

Listen, for all you ladies out there that keep saying, "I don't have cellulite, because I'm not fat!" Your a fricking joke! Cross your legs a certain way or even grab your arm funny, yep that's right those little indentions are cellulite. EVERY woman has it; and it is because we have 3 layers of fat on top of our muscle. No matter how much you work out, it is still there. If you work out 5 days a week, it MIGHT be less noticeable or it could get worse for some woman. I know this because I am a Personal Trainer, and I say those of you who do NOT know what you are talking about, shouldn't say anything at all. As for Karen not caring about her cellulite and letting everyone know.....Good for her!!! She is a beautiful woman. Our young girls these days need a wake up call, to let them know that these Super Models really don't look like they do in the magazines. I've seen too many woman and young girls push themselves so hard to look like these Super Models that they make themselves sick!! It is completely pointless- the magazines should show woman how they really look, so the rest of us can have a healthy self esteem.
