Could corset shot just be a cover?
July 31, 2007 
An airbrushing expert has come out of the woodwork to say that he believes that the corset shots of Kelly Osbourne that have come out in the press have all been touched up.
James Facey claimed that his must be the case, as even a corset could not hold in as much plumpness as the 22-year-old has displayed recently in person after being snapped by photographers in New York.
"This is a really extreme case of retouching," Mr Facey told the Daily Mail. "This looks like a combination of a very tightly fitting corset and an extensive amount of Photoshop computer trickery. You can tell from the thickness of her upper arms alone that everything has been shrunk."
He added: "In cases like this, to make things easier for the artists, a body double is even used and the person's head placed on top. But if this is her body, then it has been stretched and thinned and there has been a large amount of retouching around the waist and arms. I would say the only part of this that is really Kelly is her bust area.
Mr Facey concluded: "She has never looked this good, ever. She looks to be a size eight in the PR shots. No basque can do that amount of work."
Meanwhile Ms Osbourne's spokesman claimed that only her "hair and chin" had been touched up by the airbrush, but fans will have to judge for themselves when she appears in a corset in stageshow Chicago in September, as a basque would not be able to slim down the arms.
