NSFW - Fatback Media

See what I did there? I wrote a salacious headline that may have no basis in fact whatsoever, but validated it (and saved an attorney a few keystrokes) by adding the question mark. So, what would have been a possible libelous thrashing, now becomes a point of discussion by inquiring minds. Journalism.

ANYWAY.

US Weekly has put the other tabloids on notice with their new cover: “Hollywood A-List Nip/Tuck Did They or Didn’t They?” Besides having a sweet question mark, they say that they have scooped the other trash rags with a story that will blow the lid off the seedy plastic surgery underworld for once and for all.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Raj Kanodia - who has fixed the noses of Ashlee Simpson, Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz - estimates that 60 percent of Hollywood women undergo some type of procedure.

As more celebs like Ashley Tisdale admit to going under the knife, and others like Scarlett Johansson speak openly about a topic once off-limits (”I definitely believe in plastic surgery,” she said last year. “I don’t want to be an old hag. There’s no fun in that”), Us consulted top Hollywood surgeons to see which stars may have transformed their looks.

Scarlett Johannson was none too happy about this and got her lawyer to do the only thing that can be done in these situations: call another tabloid and give them a scoop!

“I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly.”

Also from Scarlett(’s Lawyer)

“US Weekly’s cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication,” reads a statement from her rep, exclusively to OK!

Smack down! Also, I don’t think I have ever really looked at Scarlett Johansson’s nose because she’s a beautiful talented actress who has hopes and dreams and sorrows just like anyone else. And a huge rack. Yeah maybe it’s the huge rack. What?

Except not really. No photoshop here right? I’ve seen more realistic photos in the Weekly World News. Like that bat kid that decided have sex with the fattest lady ever and they were friends with JFK and Hitler and when they went outside to look for el chupacabra, the clouds were shaped like the devil? The DEVIL. Makes you think.

Conspiratorial Update: There are some “behind the scenes” shots of this photoshoot that actually have Britney in them. Or do they? They made the moon landing look pretty convincing too.  (Allure)
