Did Beyoncé Photoshop herself a thigh gap?

Celebrities Photoshopping their pictures – even their “candid” Instagram images – is nothing new and almost to be expected. However, no one really expected it from Beyoncé, who notoriously does NOT have a thigh gap but suddenly did in a vacation photo she posted on Thursday. Bey has always been pretty body positive (at least in terms of how she discusses her body image publicly), so it seems bizarre that she would be concerned with noticeably slimming down her thighs. Then again, this is the person whose team begged bloggers to take down unflattering photos of her on tour and banned photographers from any future dates so she had full control over what was released. Anyhow, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been enjoying a nice little vacation together and here’s the photo that’s caused all the fuss: Not sure what to make of it, really. I think maybe it’s just the angle the picture was taken? I can’t tell if that curve in on her leg is sloppy Photoshopping or the definition of muscle? WHO KNOWS? Bey is beautiful whatever way you slice it, but I suppose as a society we want to do anything we can to find some imperfection in those who seem perfect… What do you think – is this Photoshopped or just a weird pic?

Stephen Colbert Will Replace David Letterman on ‘The Late Show’

It was only a few short days ago when David Letterman revealed that he planned to pack in as the host of The Late Show sometime in 2015, and speculation on who would be named as his replacement has been rampant ever since. Turns out, we didn’t have to wait very long to find out, as Stephen Colbert was announced as the new host of The Late Show on Thursday afternoon – and good for him! I’m a big fan of The Colbert Report, and he seems like such a genuinely awesome guy, so that’s amazing! “Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead,” Colbert, 49, says in a statement. “I’m thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth.” That being said, I am a little concerned how he’ll translate his trademark sarcasm, biting satire and political commentary from cable to network TV. Also, I really wonder whether we’re going to get Stephen Colbert the character, like on the Report, or actual Stephen Colbert (which might be really weird/not go over well since it’s not what we’re used to). So yeah, overall I’m pretty stoked but I’m also kind of uncertain. That being said, I’m not sure who would have been better. Part of me would have been pretty happy for someone other than a middle-aged white man to take the desk, but then… Colbert is really excellent, so I’m torn. What do you think? Excited?

How dare you point out Kylie Jenner’s plastic surgery!

Kylie Jenner is a pretty girl, sure. She’ll grow up to be a pretty woman with lots of money and a “modeling” career or whatever it is she wants to do because that’s how her life is set up. However, her life is also set up to be full of numerous plastic surgery procedures, several of which I think have pretty clearly already been performed, despite the fact that she’s still just a teenager. Apparently some plastic surgeon told OK Australia that Kylie showed signs of having had surgery on her nose and Botox injections in her lips (nevermind the sudden boobs that popped up out of nowhere), but Kylie is offended that you could ever say such a thing and took to Twitter to express her feelings. these plastic surgery rumors hurt my feelings to be honest and are kinda insulting — Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) April 10, 2014 Just in case anyone forgot.. I'm 16 — Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) April 10, 2014 No, girl, we didn’t forget. That’s part of the reason everyone’s so outraged. Shame, really. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
