New mom Kourtney Kardashian is upset that OK! Magazine featured her on the cover as part of a story on weight loss after baby. The title read “My diet secrets: lose 10 pounds in 10 days,” but Kourtney says that she didn’t even grant the magazine an interview. She’s also upset because the photo used for the cover, for which she posed for a photo agency, was slimmed down through Photoshop. (You can see a comparison of the two photos on E! Online.) OK! Magazine even went as far as to completely build her body from the waist down because the photos they used only showed her upper half. Here’s Women’s Wear Daily’s take on this minor controversy.
The reality TV star contends she never spoke to OK for the cover story, which quotes her as well as her friends and stepfather, Bruce Jenner. “They doctored and Photoshopped my body to make it look like I have already lost all the weight, which I have not,” Kardashian told WWD. She also spoke out to her Twitter followers: “One of those weeklies got it wrong again…they didn’t have an exclusive with me. And I gained 40 pounds while pregs, not 26…But thanks!”
The cover photo features Kardashian posing with her baby, Mason, a shot taken seven days after his birth by Albert Michael of StarTraksPhoto.com. The cover image has been touched up to make Kardashian appear thinner on OK’s cover than in the original photo, which first appeared as part of the Jan. 11 issue of Life & Style.
It also seems that OK has built the lower half of Kardashian’s body for its cover, as the original images were cropped at the belly. An OK spokesman declined comment.
OK! is really stooping low if they’re making up cover stories with Kardashians. They should have used the photo of Jessica Simpson with the fake “I love my body” quote. Maybe it was too hard to reconstruct the rest of her body from that photo. What the hell happened to that magazine? They used to be like a budget People but now they’re a budget Star. Ever since OK! fired their editor last May and replaced her and higher-level staff with marketing consultants they’ve gone down the tubes.
This is better than yet another misleading Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart issue or that time when they featured a photo of dead Michael Jackson on the cover. Do any of you buy OK! and is it a decent gossip rag? It hasn’t been on my list for a while.
No, I now get all my gossip fix from the internet! Saves me a bunch of money!!!!!
first. time. ever. that a kardashian is upset at being portrayed as thinner than actual size. good for kourtney. maybe motherhood is changing her for the better. next positive change? separating her image from the rest of the family. oh, and rescuing her two youngest sisters from their mother.
She’s probably upset that she didn’t get paid for the cover. If she had, I doubt she’d care she was photo-shopped.
Props to her for honesty.
I have no opinion about this woman, her baby, or that stupid tabloid rag, but I think she looks lovely in that mustardy top with her shiny dark hair down.
I do applaud her honesty, especially because it’s not in her favor – are you paying attention, Demi Moore?
But I have to agree, she’s probably mostly mad that she didn’t get paid for the article. It’s kind of funny they didn’t ask her, because those girls wouldn’t turn down any chance at publicity, but I guess they didn’t want to pay her.
The best Hollywood diet secret continues to be Photoshop.
I’ll bet she was worried that, after seeing her photo-shopped cover, people will see her out and about IN REAL LIFE and say, “Oh, my Gawd, have you seen how much weight KK has gained back???” Typical sh!t….
Always looking cute-thin or fat
I’m glad for this article. Demonstrating, once again, that much of the stuff you see and read in tabloids is manufactured or manipulated. Don’t believe it.
New mom Kourtney Kardashian is upset that OK! Magazine featured her on the cover as part of a story on weight loss after baby. The title read “My diet secrets: lose 10 pounds in 10 days,” but Khloe says that she didn’t even grant the magazine an interview. *** Its Kourtney not Khloe you made a typo.
OK is not worth buying, in my opinion, because there are too many advertisements and the stories are not juicy.
Good for her- and she still looks beautiful with baby weight!
