Normally I post my Best Photoshopped Photos at the end of the year. But while browsing through my archives this week, I realized that I missed 2009. I don’t know how that happened — and nobody reminded me.

My Photoshopping of artists together began as a way of illustrating my posts — and because I couldn’t find decent photos of those artists online. Now it has become sort of a game for my readers to guess which photos are fake. Several of my sharp eyes readers guessed that the above pic of Common and Erykah Badu wasn’t what it seemed. I made that one easy for you guys.


No one guessed that this pic of R&B crooners Usher and Jimmy Cozier at a party in New York was fake.


Everyone guessed that this pic of pop singer Rihanna and Teh Ghey rapper Drake wasn’t the real mccoy. Lol.


I captioned this photo illustration of Queen Latifah and her longtime companion Jeanette Jenkins at her 39th birthday bash, as a compilation photo, and still no one guessed.


Though singers Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx attended the same party at the Velvet Room last year, they refused to pose together. So I put them together through the magic of Photoshop.


Same thing with Mya and Gucci Mane. I don’t know why they weren’t cozy at the Velvet Room that night. Didn’t he smash that back in the day?


This pic of LisaRaye and Ginuwine was pretty obvious.


But not this photo of Rapper Yo Yo, left, and singer Tweet. In the original photo, there was a man between them. So I edited him out. That’s his shadow between them and his hand on Yo Yo’s waist.

Beware if you lift a photo from my blog this year — it just might end up in my Best Photoshopped Photos of 2010. :lolol:
