"Talk about a waistline touch-up," an e-mailer says:

The left photo is the official first-pic-of-Katie released by CBS at this year's upfront. (TVNewser posted it in May.) The right photo is an edited version of the same photo, from the September issue of Watch magazine, which is owned by CBS. (Here's the PDF of the magazine.)

Do these parameters make me look fat?

...and arms.

Those gums don't look right.

I have not watched her in years. Let's face it she is beginning to have the image of "Whatever happened to Baby Jane" rather than that of the girl next year when she started.

"Those gums don't look right."

Looks like "store bought" teeth to me

The uppers look like false teeth to me.

This is just the tip of the iceburg of what technology can do.

All the women on the show Sex and the city had their bodies and faces digitally altered frame by frame on each episode to make them look younger, remove any wrinkles and crows feet, more shapely, and more attractive.

This goes on these days more than anyone can even conceive. Many of these people way different in real life.

Here's one of those animated gif thingys to show the difference. Notice the smile and center of the pearls was left alone. All the rest was narrowed and around the arms, neck, and waist erased a little.

Heaven forbid a 50 yr old woman should ever look like a 50 year old woman.

This might be OK in the world of entertainment, but it's not a good start if Katie wants to be taken seriously in the news department.

CBS News is an entertainment division. Not very entertaining, but...

[ValerieUSA]

HA!!!
You slay me!

[newzhawk]

I can't wait to see her interview with Pres Bush- her concerned frog scowl will be back and hmmph will be heard every time she snorts when he answers a question the way she didn't want him to. Her ad nauseum flirting and schmoozing with Dems and Hollywierdos was so disgusting - maybe now the people that work will see what an imbecile she is

Here's the real photo

[RepubMommy]

Okay, what is up with her teeth in # 18? They look like my 4 y/o's for crying out loud.

[FreedomCalls]

Will she wear black again on November 8th if the Dems lose again like she did two years ago?

[Bon mots]

She's got granny-arms.
