What a full-on news week it has been; Osama bin Laden is shot dead by American forces, Kate Middleton and Prince William marry with approximately two billion people watching, a tornado hits New Zealand and the Logies and Rosemount Australian Fashion Week are held.
This is not even mentioning England’s newest paparazzi target, Pippa Middleton or the other internet sensation to come out of the Royal Wedding… Princess Beatrice’s crazy hat. Justin Bieber was also egged on stage in Sydney, Prada released potentially racist Mary-Jane boots and Mariah Carey finally gave birth to the twins. You’ll have to click through the gallery for the names…
UK Grazia photoshops Kate Middleton's waist to make her appear even slimmer. The magazine has denied any digital altering to her image.

Why photoshop Kate? She is already too skinny as it is.

Prada releases a potentially “racist” shoe ? Why because it is the same colour as Caucasian flesh ? Some people are prepared to allow themselves to be upset by the most ridiculous and innocuous things, don’t they.
For my money, I think that the shoes look like artificial limbs. You’d think that it would be the double amputees who would be jumping up and down in disgust rather than the “that is so racist” brigade. Come on. Give us all a break you uptight, self righteous people.

The puppy with George Clooney’s girlfriend is even cuter than George Clooney and that’s not easy
loading...
It’s interesting that the same image is on the cover of Australian Grazia, but it’s not photoshopped there…
loading...
When I first saw the Prada shoes, I wondered why they would be photographed on Queen Liz’s legs! Then I realised that the granny-look legs are part of the shoe! Don’t think they’re for me…..
loading...
They are extremely unattractive shoes!
loading...
Yes if there’s one thing I thought when I looked at Kate Middleton that day it was ‘lardy hips!!!’.
FFS.
No one is safe from the photoshop craziness…
loading...
I love Bin Ladens death notice. That sums it up for me better than any fake MLK quote.
loading...
the racist boot are just plain ugly I say…
loading...
Has no one noticed how lopsided Kate’s smile looks on the Grazia cover? It looks as though they tried to manipulate her face towards the camera, so she is giving a cheeky look. The whole thing looks so plastic. Kate looked ethereal. Why did they ruin it?
loading...
I thought those boots were some kind of new prosthetic for people who had lost a leg.

loading...

loading...
Sent one too! Thank you. x

Well I’m sure I’m in the minority but the names of Mariah’s twins have really grown on me! Monroe’s very elegant and Moroccan is strange, yes, but does sound really nice. He’ll probably get Roc as a nickname. Congrats to their little family!!
loading...
Apparently their father has given them the nicknames of Roc n Roe
I think they are cute names and nick names
loading...
Surely there will be actual Moroccans who be offended by the name. Well…there’s always someone offended by something. Poor lonely little loves, they are.
loading...
Gosh we really have seen the worst side of America this week…
loading...
Totally agree with you!!
loading...
That Grazia cover looks ridiculous – spoils a great picture of someone in a beautiful dress, looking lovely on her wedding day
loading...
looks tacky too.
loading...
It’s all very well to be furious with Grazia, but I think we can only pressure magazines to make a change if we voice it to them directly.
Everyone off to your emails… stat
loading...
I would usually never dream of criticising another’s choice of names for their baby. Its a personal decision, and variety is the spice of life and all that…BUT I have to say it; Mariah’s name choices are hands down the most hideous I have heard in my life. And named after part of her apartment? Is the woman mad???
loading...
Sorry, but those pics of Americans celebrating Bin Laden’s death make me feel ill..
loading...
Oh I know, and I thought the Daily Telegraph notice is a bit off too.
loading...
OMG I am so mad at grazia!!!! She had a perfect waistline, very slim and to make it even slimmer just infuriates me!!!!!! are women just supposed to be sticks???? aaaaaargh.. need to get my morning coffee.. haven’t even looked through the other pics yet.. need to try and calm down. This photoshop thing is getting out of hand.
loading...
Grazia’s magazine cover is vile. It also looks like they tanned her. The Prada shoes also look vile. Isn’t it ironic that a lot of white women have fake tans and the boots are pale white skin tone.
loading...
Seriously, what is WRONG with these magazines? Wasn’t she thin enough? The photoshopping looks ridiculous.
loading...
The boots are definitely racist – Insinuating that all pasty white women who wear red mary-janes have wrinkly, saggy ankles?!
Also, whatever Grazia. Nobody believes you. Plus, the photoshop job is obviously lop-sided.
loading...
Since when is a wrinkly, saggy ankle racist ?
loading...
Oh Bradley, it’s called a joke.
loading...
Oh for f**k sake, these people would photoshop the distended bellies of starving children for the sake of a better picture. c
loading...
OMG what a week. Boots are completely hideous, and appear to give a saggy elephant skin look around the ankles!
and UK Grazia – what are you thinking…
loading...
Grazia can say what they want, it’s clear they’ve shaved down Catherine’s waist from her right boob down although surprisingly they seem to have left her left side alone.
loading...
Why are celebrities only having twins these days?
loading...
IVF
loading...
If it is not IVF, then most likely it is a side effect of having children later in life.
Every woman’s chance of having twins is higher, as they age. With people delaying childbearing, there are more twins being born, even when you take out the effects of IVF.
It is like the eggs know their time is running out, and start being released in multiples.
How do I know? – I have an interest – I’m a twin.
loading...
Grazia feeling the need to make Kate thinner and people actually buying the magazine illustrates everything that is wrong with the world. Grazia, in case you forgot some 2 billion people saw what she really looks like on TV!
loading...
Oh Grazia (!) Golly me, surely Kate was thin enough already? I know lots of brides get tiny (speaking from experience- I accidentally ate week old bbq chicken four days before my wedding and then had to have chicken fillets attached to my deflated chest to make the dress fit )…. but I really hope that she’s now sitting down to a big plate of pancakes somewhere and having herself a biscuit or two with a cup of tea.
loading...
Sweet baby cheeses, those boots are hideous.
loading...
I was thinking it doesn’t matter because no one regardless of their skin colour is likely to wear them!
loading...
Exactly! Seriously, undeniably HIDEOUS. Ugh
loading...
I don’t see the boots as being racist, I just see them as being ugly.
loading...
Agree. If they are going to make such ugly flesh colored boots they may as well start with a colour most likely to be bought by their main marketing demographic. Perhaps it would be racist if down the track people wanted to buy other colours and they refused to make them.
However, I think nobody will buy them and it is a storm in a teacup.
loading...
That was eternally, didn’t realize I’d been signed out.
loading...
The only offensive thing about the boot is that it’s hideously ugly.
loading...
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
loading...
These boots are hideous regardless of ‘skin colour’
loading...
Probably racist, but *definitely* creepy.
loading...
Please explain. How are the boots “racist” ? Next, will someone be inferring that vanilla icecream is racist because it’s white ? Watch out black & white photographs ! Definitely racist.
