Prince George Airbrushed on Magazine Cover?


Prince George is an adorable baby—but will his chubby cheeks sell magazines?
Prince William and Kate Middleton's 9-month-old cutie is featured on the May 5 cover. The adorable photo was taken during an Apr. 20 visit to Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. According to The New York Post's Page Six, however, the weekly magazine might have airbrushed the future King of England's appearance. "They enhanced gorgeous George with emerald green eyes, rosier cheeks and stronger strawberry-blond-tinged hair and brows," editor Emily Smith alleged Thursday night. "The already adorable prince appears in multiple photos inside with darker brown eyes and paler cheeks."
 "The original image used for the Prince George cover was dark and bluish in tone and needed to be given an overall color shift for printing purposes," a rep for the magazine tells, in a statement. "By no means did we go in and alter the color of his eyes or cheeks in this process."
Photo controversy aside, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son was in good spirits at the zoo. When the park's director handed him a stuffed bilby, he threw it on the ground. Moments earlier, he squealed with delighted when he saw the real marsupial. "He's trying to grab his ear!" Middleton said.
As the duke soothed George with a kiss on the forehead, he quipped, "If he gets it, he'll never let go!"
It wasn't just Us Weekly that edited a photo of the world's most famous baby: for its May 5 issue, OK! appeared to mirror an image from George's Apr. 9 playdate at Government House in Wellington, New Zealand. Again, this is common in the magazine industry in order to make covers pop on stands.
During the playdate, local mom Ingrid Alve told that George "seemed very excited to be with all the children and the toys." George even played with her daughter, Eden, for "around 15 minutes."
The Cambridges wrapped up their 19-day tour Friday and headed back to England. "The tour of New Zealand and Australia has been an incredible experience for both The Duke and Duchess and the couple really have enjoyed it immensely," a Kensington Palace spokesperson told in a statement. "We always said this would be an opportunity for the Duke to introduce both countries to the Duchess and Prince George and the couple have been bowled over by the extraordinarily warm welcome shown to them as a family by people everywhere they went."


Chris Martin Sheds Insight Into Gwyneth Paltrow Breakup: I Didn't Want to Be "Scared of Love"


In his first interview since his "conscious uncoupling" with Gwyneth Paltrow last month,Chris Martin shed new insight into the demise of their marriage. The Coldplay frontman addressed their surprising separation, and touched on his own personal issues, while speaking to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe.
Did his relationship breakdown with Paltrow inspire the band's new album, Ghost Stories?
"I wouldn't use the word breakdown," Martin said. "This was more a realization about trying to grow up basically. Like I said, if you can't open yourself up, you can't appreciate the wonder inside. So you can be with someone very wonderful, but because of your own issues you cannot let that be celebrated in the right way. What changed for me was, I don't want to go through life being scared of it, being scared of love, being scared of rejection, being scared of failure. Ever since our band came out, we have been a very polarizing group because we do a certain thing very well...About two years ago I was a mess really because I can't enjoy the thing that we are good at and I can't enjoy the great things around me because I'm burdened by this, I've got to not blame anyone else and make some changes."
While the musician doesn't directly address his 10-year marriage to Paltrow, it's easy to read between the lines. When Martin, 37, and Paltrow, 41, announced their split, the exes said they had been "working hard for well over a year" on their relationship. Ghost Storieswill address such struggles.
"Up to a certain point in my life I wasn't completely vulnerable and it caused some problems. If you don't let love really in then you can't really give it back. So what Ghost Story means to me is like you've got to open yourself up to love and if you really do, of course it will be painful at times, but then it will be great at some point," Martin said. "I think in life everyone needs to be broken in some way...I think everyone in their life goes through challenges, whether it's love or money, kids, or illness...You have to really not run away from that stuff. Life throws these colorful challenges at you...what we decided to do onGhost Stories was to really be honest about it and say, this is what's been happening."
In the wide-ranging interview, Martin also revealed he has the hots for another British band.
"I think One Direction are the biggest band in the world. Their songs are great. I'm saying One Direction are brilliant and I'm not kidding. You know why? Because their songs are really good and I don't think that any of them are going to go solo. I think they appreciate their chemistry from watching their movie," Martin explained. "Harry Styles has come to a couple of our shows. I think I probably said the same thing about chemistry. I can't remember, I was too enamored with his haircut. I was like this: 'I was pretty sure I was a straight guy before.' I was having a hot flush."

Rihanna Takes Her Top Off for Vogue Brazil


It wouldn't be a day that ends in "y" if we didn't have a new topless Rihanna photo shoot to admire. The 26-year-old "S&M" singer graces two covers of Vogue Brasil's May issue and the Bajan beauty dons just a pair of retro high-waisted bikini bottoms inside the mag.

Rihanna was photographed leaving her favorite LA eatery, Giorgio Baldi, last night with a female friend and two guys.
