Demi Moore’s Missing Hip Sensation - Who Cares if Twitter and Tweet Queen is Airbrushed?

One of the latest celebrity uproars regards a photograph of Twitter favourite and "Ghost" actress Demi Moore on the cover of W' magazine, which appears to have airbrushed her entire left hip away! Come on people! Celebrities both men and women appear on airbrushed magazine covers all the time. What is the fuss all about?

Some say it sends out bad signals and messages to people who look up to and follow celebrities as role models, others wonder how we are meant to love and respect our own bodies the way they were made, when celebs are busy getting chopped to bits by a piece of Photoshop technology in the quest for perfection'.

Fame isn't really a mystery any more and many still clamour and crave it. We have seen and read so many stories about the cost of fame', and modern day celebrities largely know that they are casting themselves into the limelight and putting themselves under intense scrutiny the moment they have their first hit song or their first taste of movie stardom.

Let us not forget though, that we are all responsible for the celebrity culture that now plagues our society. It is us, the non famous people who demand to read about movie stars and rock stars private lives. It is us, the people that criticise and tear apart the very lives that we have demanded be revealed to us and it is us who buy and read the magazines, newspapers and articles. We believe everything that is written, we don't like it and we demand that someone pays the price for an act of behaviour we often pompously disapprove of.

Would a celebrity of lesser stature than Demi Moore have created the same controversy? Doubtful, but at the end of the day it's just a photograph on a magazine cover! What do we do with our own digital photos before we print them off? I am sure many of us have painstakingly inked out any little blemishes that are visible or cut and chopped bits out that we don't like.

Demi Moore (apparently excellent in her latest movie "The Joneses"), along with husband Ashton Kutcher have risen to new heights of popularity thanks to the phenomenal success of Twitter, and Demi now has over two million Twitter followers. Her star is certainly shining very brightly and I am sure she is fully aware of the unwelcome responsibilities that her fame inevitably bestows upon her, and probably doesn't really need a million tweets telling her she has a hip missing; so really, let's move on quickly from this one shall we? Okay, rant over. For now at least!
