Brittany Murphy is one of the many celebs caught amidst the buzz that has hit New York this week. It’s New York Fashion Week, and the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2008 is living up to its expectations. Brittany is seen here at The Tent at Bryant Park for the Max Azria collection. But, even though she may be a smidge off the radar right now, she is still wanted by the press, but she is very selective about who she will speak with. A reporter for a gossip magazine tried to get an interview with her and was kindly told by Brittany, ‘not for that magazine. Your magazine. Hurt. My. Life.’ No word exactly on what situation Brittany was referring to, but reports are that it has something to do with her husband, Simon Monjack and the subject of his shady past. Now how can someone that innocent looking be connected to shadiness? Well, she is definitely making sure that no one finds out. However, with respect to her lips… I think it’s pretty obvious that she got into a fight with a syringe filled with restylane!

And so apparently have several celebs through a new website called iWANEX Studio. These folks have retouched everyone from Kelly Clarkson to Beyonce and yes, even the beloved Halle Berry. Here is a before and after pic of Brittany Murphy’s transformation after the retouch brush. Gives a little comfort to the throngs of people that nit pick on themselves because Hollywood always looks so beautiful. We have to remember, Hollywood is all about appearances, and that means even the appearances about appearances. Get it? We are talking about an entire industry that makes money when pretty people are the package, even when they aren’t that pretty before they hit the retouchers. So, while I think Brittany Murphy is still beautiful even in her before pic, it is nice to know there are retouchers studios around reminding us that even the people in Hollywood can have dark circles and are as human as the rest of us.
