beyonce's complexion may not have been altered - but the lighting was. EVERYTHING about that picture is soo much lighter than normal - i don't know what the real point of doing that is - but i guess if they feel that it's necessary to sell more product then they feel ok about it.
amy - give advice? about what exactly? i'm not sure if there's anything that she really should be sharing - unless it's how to try to have a successful career. i feel like she could be so different if she had different people in her life.
wow - thank goodness morgan freeman is doing ok. that was a scary car crash and to be airlifted - it's amazing that he's doing so well now
i think that anything beckham will be considered to be influential - no? i think that there was a lot of talk about the wedding since it was just post baby - but ok
as for pete - EWWWW who would want to kiss him - really?!?!?!
