Can the city put Ryan Gosling on payroll, please? more ›

The whiny, bigoted, inbred members of the Westboro Baptist Church are infamous for picketing military funerals to prove some point about pushing the boundaries of the First Amendment, because that's what their Jesus would want, or something. But today, they broke the Ninth Commandment when Margie Phelps, the daughter of church founder Fred Phelps, tweeted a photo purporting to show the church's protest in front of Whitney Houston's funeral in Newark. However, reporters for the Star-Ledger "confirmed no active protests were occurring in the place depicted by the photograph." more ›

The New York Public Library keeps delivering the goods as they continue to celebrate their centennial. This time it's the lions getting the tribute... in LEGOs! Our library friends tell us, "the lions will be on display for just the Centennial weekend [that's this weekend] on the Plaza outside the 42 Street building." They will be unveiled by artist Nathan Sawaya this Friday at 10 a.m. (get your free book if you drop by), staying through Sunday at 8 p.m. Let's have some fun with them now, shall we? Here's a photo of one of the LEGO lions (we can't tell if it's Patience or Fortitude)—get thee to Photoshop and give her a fun New York City backdrop! After all, the lions haven't roamed off their perch on 5th Avenue in nearly 100 years. more ›

Yesterday, we highlighted the new Rudy Giuliani official portrait, which makes him look a little more like John Lithgow, Gerald Ford and Harry Truman than Rudy. Then we put up a photoshopped picture made by a commenter, which many found to be too provocative. Today, we have some less controversial, photoshopped versions of the portrait to share with you. more ›

The seconds drag and the hours jerk as NY state holds its breath in anticipation of Carl Paladino's mysterious geriatric prime-time (5 pm-ish) TV message this evening. While we were twiddling our fingers and watching cute cell phone movies, we started to browse Paladino's interactive campaign website (now with pop-up Paladino!) for any clues as to tonight's speech. And we found these sweet new photo-shopped campaign posters, including "Mario" Cuomo and Cuomo's (emasculated) chihuahua. more ›

Will everyone please just leave Christina Hendricks's body alone! First the NY Times distorted her figure to prove some point that "big girls" shouldn't wear "big dresses"—and now London Fog has Photoshop-chopped her curves off. Jezebel did some comparing and contrasting of her photo shoot outtakes and the raincoat company's actual ad campaign, and lo and behold, the Mad Men starlet (who is known, and loved, for her curves) has been given the hatchet job again. Sigh. For the real deal, here's some untouched video from her shoot: more ›

In the past year we've seen a Ralph Lauren model get warped into a bobblehead; Demi Moore get part of her hip shaved off; a Real Houswife get a digital face transplant; and in a rare reverse-distortion, Christina Hendricks was called a "big girl" in a NY Times article which ran an enlarged image of the actress. Most recently, a size 4 model spoke out in hopes of the fashion industry changing their ways and embracing healthier images. more ›

By yesterday evening the Paper of Record published not one, but two takedowns of women — somewhat unsurprisingly, both centered around weight and penned by the fairer sex. The stage for the scrutiny was the Golden Globes red carpet, which many an actress strolled down on Sunday night. more ›

ESPN, you really should have known better. Metspolice.com found this photo on ESPN's merch page, using the image of Shea Stadium from beyond the grave as the home of the Alabama Crimson Tide, this year's BCS champions. At least they had the decency to paint a 50 yard line. This isn't the first instance of Mets-related images being messed with on the internet. A while ago there was this instance of Citibank and the Mets being too lazy to even take a photo in Citi Field! We bet this never happens to the Yankees... more ›

Is it Demi Moore Twitter-deathwatch time? The actress has been forced to defend her looks in 140-characters or less multiple times in the past month. First when one of her followers said she looked old, she had the applaudable response of: "I'm 47. How am I supposed to look?"; and now she's defending her W cover, swearing it wasn't Photoshopped. Not so applaudable. more ›

Real Housewives Bethenny Frankel says she was pregnant during the photoshoot for her PETA anti-fur ad, though she hadn't started showing yet so it didn't hinder her from baring it all for the campaign. The 58-foot billboard was just unveiled in Times Square, and it's totally Photoshopped... right? Well, not according to the woman on it. more ›

The Post has an "exclusive" story on how 85-year-old Anthony Marshall, found guilty of grand larceny for looting his mother Brooke Astor's estate, "will try to dodge a mandatory year in prison by asking this week that the judge toss the top conviction against him -- in consideration of his good deeds 'managing' her finances." But Daily Intel shows that the real exclusive is the amazing Little Orphan Annie Photoshop job cooked up for the article. more ›

A reader sent in the photo on the left earlier today, letting us know that Sad Panda is "at his usual spot Downtown." It's nice to see he hasn't totally sold out to the Spongebob Squarepants corporate machine. However, it's going to get cold soon, and we know that Sad Panda suffers from Seasonal Affected Disorder and loves to take vacations, so where do you think he'll go? Let us know your answers in Photoshop! There's an image for you to use after the jump. more ›

Earlier this week Ralph Lauren was accused of some over-the-top Photoshopping in their ads, and now it appears GQ has given Betty Draper a digital boob job. Mad Men's January Jones graces the magazine's November issue, and NYMag accuses them of "artificial enhancement by way of Photoshop." What do you think? We don't want to know what they'd do if Joan Holloway were on the cover! more ›

People are hungry for answers after word came out that size 4 model Filippa Hamilton was fired from Ralph Lauren for being too "fat," and then that company Photoshopping her to look like a bobblehead doll for an ad in Japan. more ›

This Ralph Lauren model was fired earlier this year for being too fat. At 5' 10" and 120 lbs, Filippa Hamilton (who was with the company since 2002), tells the Daily News, "They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn't fit in their clothes anymore." more ›

The 14-year-old daughter of City Councilman Bill de Blasio is featured in a nice family photo on the website for de Blasio's public advocate campaign. But don't let her innocent smile fool you—teenage Chiara loves guns, and de Blasio doesn't want voters to know about it. It's been revealed that in the original photo, Chiara was wearing a gun-shaped pendant, which was subsequently airbrushed away when the photo was pimped out for campaign literature. When confronted about the cover-up by the Daily News, de Blasio explained, "Our daughter made a mistake in putting on a necklace that was inappropriate. I made a decision to take it out of any literature and she will not be wearing it in the future." But Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics is troubled, because who knows what else de Blasio is hiding? Are those even his children? Still, Sabat gives Chiara a pass on her gun fetish, because "you never blame a 14-year-old—they all do silly, rebellious things, and I guess that's what it was. She's 14. Who cares?" Well, easy for him to say; he doesn't have to generate news content in August. more ›

Have you learned to love the hipster grifter story yet? If not, we encourage you to scroll up or down to read another post, and remind you that you're also entitled to a full refund on your subscription fee. Still here? Check it out: This photoshopped movie poster featuring Kari Ferrell was just spotted in Williamsburg, home to her target demographic. This may be good news for Hipster Grifter haters, however; FreeWilliamsburg astutely points out that now this has reached the street art medium, it's officially over... At least until the inevitable Grifster Handbook hits the Urban Outfitters discount book table. more ›

Gothamist's Spitzerpimp image made it on to page 4 of the New York Post today. That is both awesome and puzzling at the same time. Here's a bit from the article:

At Credit Suisse and Merrill Lynch, which also had been on Spitzer's hit list, doctored pictures of the governor decorated their trading floors. more ›
