Demi's Hip-Gate Continues: Photog Raises The $take$

Filed Under: Ashton Kutcher Demi Moore Photoshop Awardz Twitter

No one is believing Demi Moore's claims that her W cover isn't photoshopped. And now photographer Anthony Citrano wants Demi to put her money where her missing hip is!

The photog is willing to donate $5,000 to the charity of Mrs. Ashton Kutcher's choosing if she can prove the original photo she tweeted (which is the same image as the cover without all the text) on Thursday is un-shopped.

Citrano started the bet via Twitter and followed up with a detailed explanation for his claims:

To reiterate, Demi is a beautiful woman who needs no help from retouching. This was never about her, nor about retouching - I have no problem with either.

Further, I feel bad that Demi is on defense - she should not have to defend other people's mistakes; W Magazine should be addressing this rather than her.

Having said that, she did raise the stakes considerably yesterday by posting what she claims is the original unretouched shot, along with the accusation that "these people" (presumably Xeni and me) are "bullshitting."

Well, whether or not her hip was botched, I do not believe for a moment that the image Demi posted yesterday is the original shot.

If she's aware of that - and I expect she is - it's irresponsible (and silly) of her to make that assertion.

So, I'll see her move and raise her $5,000: if the shot she posted yesterday is really the unretouched original, I will donate $5,000 to a charity of her choosing.

Let's see who's "bullshitting", shall we?

Whaddya say, Demi? Are we on?

Demi has yet to respond, but he does make a very good point: Where is W magazine on this? Why haven't they said anything? Or maybe they're enjoying all the press over this.

Come on Demi, prove it! You've got nothing to lose.

Besides, what's the worst that could happen? Admitting what everyone else knows that you aren't as flawless as you think you are?

Like we said, you've got nothing to lose Mrs. Kutcher.
