Beyonce has been (badly) Photoshopping her pictures again

Beyonce is hot. We’ve all seen her in the flesh – in REAL candids, like in concerts, at awards shows, etc. We know what she looks like. So why is she still so insistent on not only Photoshopping her pictures, but doing it so badly? Bey runs a very carefully controlled empire. We all remember when that super unflattering picture of her in concert popped up online a couple of years ago, leading her to ban all photography at her shows unless it was done by her PERSONAL photographer. However, she’s taken things one step further by even seriously altering her “candid” Instagram selfies, and it’s done so shittily, I seriously have to wonder if it’s a joke. Sorry, but last I checked, curtains don’t pull themselves in at waist level just to help you out. That’s the Photoshop liquify tool you’re working with, and whoever it is seriously is working with some 101-level skills. But it’s not even about how bad it is – though it is laughably so – it’s about the fact that Bey makes a huge deal out of releasing a song like ‘Pretty Hurts’, all about how superficial the world is and how she’s breaking free from that (easy to say when you’re objectively VERY attractive, thin and rich already) and then goes and does this amateur hour shit. This isn’t the first time she’s been called out about Photoshopping, either – and she’s certainly not the only one to do it. But for some reason, it just seems like more of a betrayal from Beyonce, who has been rather vocal about embracing herself flaws and all, and encouraging others to do the same. If you feel like you need to digitally squeeze yourself into Barbie proportions, fair enough. Live your life. But don’t pretend like you stand for anything but the same things everyone else does: vanity, to an extreme degree. Have a look through her Instagram and this shitty Photoshopping is everywhere. Either knock it off, Beyonce, or hire someone who actually knows more than Forward Warp. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Beyonce “proves” she’s not pregnant by posting bikini pics

Beyonce and Jay-Z are currently on holiday with Blue Ivy over in Italy, while the rest of the world is fixated on whether or not they’re expecting another baby. Jay-Z apparently announced that she was during a concert in France by simply changing a lyric in one of his songs, sending the world into an absolute frenzy (as they probably hoped). Well, finally Beyonce is “speaking out” against these rumours by posting photos of herself on holiday in a bikini, showing zero sign of a baby bump or anything close to it. Look, I’m all about Bey celebrating her hotness and all of that, but the stunt queen bullshit has GOT to go. It’s exhausting. If she’s pregnant or not pregnant, whatever, who cares? The point is, don’t purposely try to create hype by suggesting to rabid, crazy ass fans that have already been speculating that she is indeed having a baby, then put up pictures of her in a bikini showing she’s clearly not, etc. Trying to drum up attention at this point is desperate and obnoxious – you’ve already got it, so why carry on like this? Y’all know I am a Beyonce & Jay-Z fan, but sometimes it’s a hard life to live because they make it so easy to be annoyed by them. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Beyonce is so grateful for your birthday wishes, she did a cartwheel

Beyoncé celebrated her birthday on September 4th, and members of the Beyhive took to social media to bombard her with birthday wishes. She may be a worldwide star, but she does read your messages and she was so thankful for them, she posted a picture of herself doing a cartwheel (back walkover?) on her Instagram page to show her appreciation. I guess that’s nice? Happy belated b-day, Bey. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

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?
