Reverse Airbrushing

[Blind Gossip] When celebrities pose for a photo that will be widely published – like a cosmetics ad or a movie poster or a magazine cover – there is a 100% chance that the photo will be corrected or airbrushed in some way.

If they are airbrushing the subject’s body, it is usually to make them slimmer and more defined.

Well, except in the case of this celebrity.

I had never met her in person before and I was shocked! She looked like a skeleton. I hate to say anorexic, but she had that emaciated look where you can see every vein popping and every bone poking out. [The graphic artist] had to pump up everything and ADD “inches” to make her look like a healthy human being in the photos rather than a stick insect.

We could go on about her appearance, but let’s give you some other ways to identify her. Our celebrity is best known for her unique and powerful voice, but she does have an instantly recognizable name and face as well.

    • Grieve affects everyone differently. Or, hey, maybe she has a new love…smack. Whatever the cause it is very sad.

    • She has had a girlfriend for years, and Renee was a marriage of convenience. It is so sad to see these older people spend all this effort and mental strain to stay in a closet. Keeping such secrets about your authentic self, will make you sick,literally.
      Who cares? Nobody but the fake “ romances” just makes them look silly.
      Corey Booker, Travolta and Oprah, take note

    • No, she was quite a bit heavier when she was in her early 20s. Then when she started dating Rene, she got emaciated. That was at least 20 years ago. She’s been too skinny for years but now it’s off the charts.

  6. Wow. It says “unique and powerful voice” so I’d say that knocks out Taylor. Demi has had similar issues, but even at her thinnest, is naturally a little curvy so I can’t imagine her being skin & bones & it not being a headline, if she was seen even just once. Literally the only person left who I can think of is Ariana Grande, & I’ve thought she looked SUPER skinny recently, but brushed it off bc she’s so petite. Still not sure, but that’s my best guess.
    Get well, whoever it is. <3

    • Ariana’s gained weight recently, which I think is a good thing. She was really tiny for a long time and now she looks healthier and happier. The Celine Dion guesses seem to make the most sense as she’s iconic and looks skeletal.

  7. Its no secret she looks like the alien in Close Encounters. Celine Dion. Its gross.

  10. Celine Dion?! Have you seen her new hair care commercial?! She looks like a bone. My first thought along with the others in the room who were watching with me was anorexia

    • Even my husband pointed out how skeletal she looked in that commercial, and he certainly doesn’t follow gossip.

      She’s not well.

  12. Celine.

    She’s been ‘managed’ 24/7/365 since she was a child. Now Renee is no longer there to direct her every waking moment. Her skeletal frame tells the biggest story: unhealthy. She’s probably got a gazillion ‘friends’, hangers-on, professional leeches all throwing their advice and guidance into the party. It starts off liberating but then…..

    • That’s a great point… anorexia at the core is partly about control or rather, stopping feeling out of control. I always saw her husband as more of a father figure, and in his absence and with the end of her residency (which also provided structure), she must feel like she’s on a carnival ride. :’-(

  17. Celine Dion – I’ve seen photos of her standing sideways and she has zero form at all – a complete skeleton with some skin covering them. I’m shocked that she was able to bear children…

    • …that was almost 9 years ago. She’s always been thin, but she’s become skeletal more recently.

  28. I’m actually stuck, I have no idea who this could be, there are so many stick insects in the talent industries (music, acting, modeling). My wild guess is that it’s a Victoria’s Secret model. They look like victims of a famine. I will happily donate some of my fat to them. (I’m not fat, btw).

    • I’m changing my answer to Celine Dion. She has a powerful voice, and recently lost a lot of weight. I hope she’s ok.

  29. Celine Dion
    I feel for her, I’m 30 with two children and I still struggle with eating. It doesn’t help when people make flippant comments like (wow, how are you so slim after two children?) and of course we lie and say things like we are just naturally small.
    When the truth is, if my weight goes over 105lbs, it feels like the end of the world.
    Sadly, EDs are not something you just “grow out of” when you leave your teens, they stay with you for life. It’s a heavy burden keeping a secret that…

    • I hope you can find the help you need to get/stay healthy. I haven’t been through it myself, but I’ve watched friends struggle with eating disorders and it’s very scary to watch helplessly as they get sicker and sicker.

  35. Celine… eating disorder. Get help before you become another Karen Carpenter!!

  37. Celine Dion. Clue: We could ‘go on’ (song My Heart Will Go On) and ‘other ways’ (Any Other Way)

  42. Celine Dion

    Clue is “we could go on.” My Heart Will Go On is probably her most famous song.

  45. Celine Dion

    She claims that she has been dancing and that may have made her lose weight. Some chalk it up to grief. She had to deal with a lot the past few years.

    I don’t think she’s eating….just saying.

  48. Celine Dion

    she’s on the cover of American Elle in a black and white couture dress

    Drama queen. Never was a fan of hers.

  50. Celine Dion. She looks gravely ill, I think she’s hiding some health condition.

  54. This has to be Celine Dion. I saw a picture of her the other day and I couldn’t believe my eyes. She looks emaciated and very unhealthy. It either had to be illness or a severe eating disorder. I hope she gets help and/or is OK.

  66. Lady Gaga? (Cher isn’t super thin, nor is Adele, the only other two people I can think of who fit the bill.) Oh wait! There is also Celine Dion. I think of the two of them, Celine qualifies more fully for the “emaciated” look so she’s my guess.

    Optional: Stress? New Love? Desire to into couture clothes?

  67. That would be Celine Dion. Read awhile back that she’s hooked on diet pills and won’t listen to anyone about getting help. She thinks she looks great.

  69. Ariana Grande

    Either doing drugs to cope or is just so stressed from her personal life and PTSD.

  70. Celine Dion

    Pills. She is on something prescriptive. She loves being thin. More thin than others around her. She is loving being seen as fashion forward so is getting lots of designs from fashion houses to wear. They would in turn be encouraging and supporting her skeletal frame.

  73. Celine Dion.

    As soon as I saw the pics of her magazine shoot, I said to myself, they definitely “added” weight to make her look decent. Such a shame.

  77. Celine Dion. I’ve seen her in an ad on TV and she really did look like a stick insect! Besides super skinny, it makes her look manish and old beyond her years.

  80. Angelina? The photo even resembles her. The “voice” could be about her speaking out on various humanitarian issues. Sorry for her, and for her family too.

  81. Celine Dion
    Nothing…she’s always been barely there so I’m not really sure what the shock is all about.

  82. This sounds like Ariana Grande. I could be wrong. I have seen her in person. She is petite but not a skeleton.

  84. Celine Dion. She looks like a terminally ill person. If she lost the weight intentionally, it did her no favors—she looks decades older than she really is!

  89. “We could go on about her appearance…” Like her heart will go on? Gotta be Celine Dion. She’s wild and wacky and kinda fun, especially lately. She’s clearly feeling herself. But she has gotten very thin.

    Dunno what’s going on with her… hopefully she’s being careful and staying healthy.

  91. Celine Dion- “we could go on”/My Heart Will Go On

    I don’t know what’s going on with her now. She’s always been high energy and thin, but it’s really bad now.

  92. Celine Dion. She does look like a stick insect. It’s frightening!

    It seems that something has driven her over the edge. I have no idea what happened. I feel bad for her children, she appears to be a bit unstable.

  95. Celine Dion… L’oreal just debuted an ad campaign with her and i immediately thought she looked healthier – not normal, but at least not distressing to look at. Her children must be terribly worried. Is she possessed by the spirit of Karl Lagerfeld? WTH?

  96. At first I thought you were talking about Angelina, but now I’m guessing Celine Dion since she’s known for her voice. Just saw she did an interview for Elle and she still looked extremely thin. Wasn’t there an earlier blind on her having a pill problem?

  100. Celine Dion has an eating disorder probably exacerbated by drugs. Aka every female celeb (probably some males too)
