    SHAPE just wanted an excuse to use to repeat the name of their magazine, SHAPE, over and over "she is in phenomenal shape" "We cannot change the shape of anyone's body..."-SHAPE


    Fuck that SHAPE

    I think we need a side by side comparison of Shape cover bodies. I suspect they would all look very similar.

    the biggest difference i see is the nail polish. and slightly different shape to the legs. her actual legs look more athletic. shape probably feels like they have to make a woman look fit and strong but not too muscley because they want to maintain femininity. she looks awesome the way she is. shape just wanted her to fit their mold and try to justify it.

    Well, she's definitely more toned and glowy on the cover. Serously, Shape? It's true that Jenny is a lean and fit individual, but nobody, NOBODY has cartoon skin. You can not convince me of that.

    Any Jezzies in PR? Would you really send out so casual a note with the expectation that your copy would be inserted into a blog/magazine?

    @bowleserised: Yeah, I'm a freelance journalist and I'd be pissed if someone sent me a letter demanding that I do my job according to their agenda. Telling me to include quotes they sent- not cool! They're entitled to respond, point out "innacuracies," have their response published, etc, but telling a journalist (or reputable blogger, like the fine people here) how to write a follow up makes me angry! Like Billy Bob thinking he can "instruct" Jian Ghomeshi about what he can and cannot ask.

    i like the not-photoshopped pic way better. that is a great body, and totally attainable through diet and exercise. the magazine should be proud to put that sucker directly to print.

    Did they even read the comments?


    I thought the majority of the comments were "Yeah Jenny McCarthy for admitting that she isn't as perfect as the picture in a magazine!"


    The statement really takes away from that. Poor decision on Shape's part to comment. I get why magazines use photoshop, pretending they don't is what is insulting.

    Really? Then maybe your photoshop skills just suck? Or maybe "it's the lighting" or "the way she was positioned"?


    Yeah, okay. I know when people are trying to pull the wool over my eyes, so don't pull that crap with me, k?
