The one in Vanity Fair, where it was all photoshopped and the real pictures got out and she looked like an exhausted mom instead of a young hottie? I’m not finding the photos online, and I want to show them to someone who’s interested in the whole photoshopping/real live women thing. Help! ---

Well, that explains the dichotomy between the covers of “O” magazine and the way Oprah actually looks right now. ---

A quick Google search turns up before and afters for a [Glamour cover](http://www.hemmy.net/2006/08/10/britney-spears-glamour-magazine-photoshop/) - is that it, by any chance? Britney looks pretty rough in the before. Yikes. While I do recall a very obviously Photoshopped cover for Vanity Fair, that would be the famous seven-months-pregnant-“hommage”-to-Demi pose and the befores were never leaked as far as I can recall (the gossip blogs which my… errrr… friends read closely would’ve all over that faster than Britney on a Cheeto) ---

Aha! That explains it–I kept googling Vanity Fair, not Glamour. Thanks! And thanks to everyone else who posted links–I sent them on too. Interesting stuff. (Thin camera, heh, I need one of those)
