Seriously, how do these shitty photoshop jobs get on the covers of major magazines?

[Semi-OT]Last week, I showed the photo tech at work Maroon 5's Rolling Stone cover; I told him the photo looked wonky but I couldn't put my finger on it. He proceeded to explain: The lighting on the band members' faces and shadows were not consistent, clearly indicating that the Maroons didn't pose together for the shot. Also, he believes the Photoshopper flipped the long-haired guy on the left.

I suspect the process for landing a photo tech job at a major magazine is the same as it is for writing jobs - it's not about talent, but whom you know and how fabulous a person you are. Unless you're Ugly Betty, of course![/semi-OT]

I just love how this issue of Glamour promises advice on how to "dress your body better."

Yeah, fuck Glamour. But I do have to admit the dress they 'shopped America into is pretty.

In the Glamour interview America says she's a size 6 or an 8. Really? I guess the camera does add 10 lbs, because I would have guessed she was a size 10.

I think that's true - I remember one of her dresses was available through some sort of charity auction and it was listed as size 6.

I think she looks bigger than that because she's really very petite. I don't think she's much over five feet tall (everyone on Ugly Betty pretty much tower over her), and she probably actually has a rather small frame. A size 6 on someone who is 5'1" is really different than a size 6 on someone who is 5'9".

Plus I think we're so used to seeing size 0 and size 2 on tv that anyone above that looks huge.

Congrats to America for picking up “Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series” for her role as Betty Suarez on ABC’s Ugly Betty.

Love her love her looooooove her. And I for one think she looks stunning; that's a great color on her. Props for her embracing her vavavoom-ness.

I love her. She is just so cute and I think she looked great at both events although I like the dress from the 9th a little bit more than the one from yesterday.

I liked the white dress more than the blue. The belt on the blue one cut her in half and made her look very wide.

Was it just me or did she seem not surprised by her win? I just remember how cute and charming she was at the Golden Globes, when she seemed genuinely shocked and touched by the win. This time she was kind of like "yeah, that Emmy is mine."

She is so pretty, but I really don't like that blue Emmy dress on her. it comes up too high and negates her cleavage and the belt manages to make her look like she has a real poochy tummy.

Love the color, but the length of the dress makes her look short and stumpy.
