What a shame; she is so lush and sexy. This cover diminishes her, and not just literally.

I really thought they photoshopped the poor child within an inch of her life. I think the whole album cover says less about her (she prolly doesn’t have much creative control, as already noted) and more about the record industry’s take on what is acceptable and attractive. SMH.

American Apparel runs very, very small.

FWIW, the dress she's wearing only goes up to L [8-10]. I'm a horrible judge of other people's dress sizes, but that seems small to me, 5% spandex or no 5% spandex.

I saw something similar in my inbox today. Unless she’s lost a lot of weight in stategic places, Beth Chapman on “Dog: The Bounty Hunter” seems to have gotten a Photoshop slim-down as well. The A&E website doesn’t show the same image from my e-mail but here’s a link to it:

She seems taller as well.

That’s AWFUL. I love JH, though I never watched AI. But her performance in DG was FABULOUS, and that girl has got some great pipes. But I also loved that she was real, and sexy, and herself.

The cover… yuck.

I’m not sure which is the bigger offense, JHud’s album cover or America Ferrera a la Glamour…

Um, okay, I don’t know I wrote “daughter” when I meant “body.” I have post-convention brain.

Ah photoshop…if you haven’t seen it, there is a good YouTube video of the photoshopping of a large (and lovely) woman into someone who is much thinner. And they didn’t replace her daughter, just manipulated the image.
