Kate Beckinsale wants to ban the airbrush

KATE BECKINSALE is amazed when she sees herself on magazine covers, because her picture has been airbrushed so much she hardly recognises herself.

The UNDERWORLD beauty would rather magazine readers could see her in all her unadulterated glory.

She says, "It's intimidating, even for me, to come upon pictures of myself in magazines.

"The airbrush was a diabolical invention. I'll look at a photo and say, 'God, I wish I still looked like that.' Then I realise, 'Oh, I never did.'

"I long to see actresses as they really are, with wrinkles and blemishes. Otherwise, it's just not what we'd call normal."

The first time I'm hearing something with sense coming out of her mouth

I agree. The airbrush has got out of hand!

wooo! finally something i agree with that she said.

the thing is...magazine editors and the businessmen don't have the balls to put a photo that's not airbrushed on a magazine or anything for that matter. they're afraid it won't sell. unless it's turned into a gimmick...like dove

Well said Kate.

I would buy the mags warts and all! I enjoy looking at those celebs without makeup pics etc.

Without the airbrush we'll be treated to her stretch-marked 'real' breasts again.

I would love to see all the celebrities how they really are and not the airbrushed ones

DitaPage* · June 21st, 2006, 09:25 AM

Well said! She probably looks amazing without the airbrushing anyway.

Okay, Kate Beckensale seems to be stating her opinion way to much lately however, I agree. Pictures are airbrushed to death & when you see stars live or in candids, they look like shit. We would all have a better body image if this was possible.

She's only saying this because (i) airbrushing has already helped her
career tremendously and (ii) she knows nothing she says about it
will change the industry.

If we could actually SEE the cellulite, would you not feel better about yourself? Im thinking HELL YES!

GoldDust77 · June 21st, 2006, 10:40 AM

Oh please.

Kate Beckinsale is one of the vainest *stars* out there. She's only saying this to look favorable in us *general folks'* eyes. She was probably laughing as she said her people-pleasing-comment. And anyway, who needs an airbrush when you already look like you've been airbrushed, you're so fake-looking...Kate Beckinsale looks plastic to me--totally fake--like she was sculpted out of wax or something (and the resulting look is frightfully BLECH!!!

)...WAY TOO over-plastic-surgitized, rumored to be a MAJOR b!tch, and boring too boot.

I totaly agree with her. I look at the magz covers while in line in the grocery store and can barely recognize who the celeb is, I sometimes have to read who it is and am then poking my husband pointing out how photoshopped they are. They look like mannequins.
