Tomorrow is a New Year, which means it's time for my Best Photoshopped Photos of the Year post!
I combined 3 years into one post because I didn't publish my Best Photoshopped Photos Post over the past few years.

Beyonce Knowles-Carter nearly broke the Internet on Wednesday when she announced she and husband Jay Z, 47, are expecting twins.
To silence the naysayers, Beyonce, 36, posted an Instagram photo of herself posing in a bra, cutoff denim shorts, and a veil as she cradled a distorted-looking baby bump.
This Photoshopped image of grocery store singer Beyonce Knowles-Carter cradling a distorted looking baby bump is making the rounds on social media. The rumor is that the 36-year-old mother-of-one is pregnant with twins.
A reader sent in Photoshopped images of reality show singer K. Michelle, saying this is what the reality TV star looks like now.
I guess she thought I wouldn't Google recent images of K. Michelle to confirm?
I laughed out loud when the first images from Justin Bieber's Calvin Klein underwear shoot surfaced on the Internet last year.
Clearly the images were aggressively Photoshopped to make the little man's objects appear much bigger in the mirror than they really are. It isn't clear if CK's graphic artist was trying to appease the narcissistic singer or if they knew Justin's cachectic appearance would repulse Calvin Klein's female readers.
Apparently, singer Beyonce Knowles-Carter is tired of all the shade being thrown by fellow Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland and songbird Alicia Keys. Both ladies are pregnant and both have saturated the Internet with adorable baby bump photos. The photos leave no doubt that Kelly and Alicia are pregnant. But Beyonce was rumored to have hidden her fake pregnancy behind a prosthetic.
Lady Gaga is just like you.
The Internet is buzzing about unretouched photos of the pop singer from her recent Versace photo shoot. The photos reveal how Lady Gaga's flaws and wrinkles before the Photoshop artist performs his/her magic. The shocking photos first surfaced on the Gaga fansite GagaFreshNews.com.
Nightclub singer Beyonce is in the headlines again.
Controversy has erupted over Beyonce's Photoshopped bikini golf photos she posted on her Tumblr page. Black Twitter is involved in a heavy debate over whether Beyonce gave herself gap thighs in the photos. Of course she gave herself thigh gaps! This is Beyonce we're talking about.
Beyonce is no different from that other attention-seeking celebrity, Kim Kardashian. Beyonce took a page from Kim's book by Photoshopping thigh gaps for attention. Now her impressionable fans will engage in risky behavior to lose weight to attain thigh gaps like her.
Target is catching heat for Photoshopping advertisements targeted toward image conscious teenagers and young adults.
The retail giant altered the images to add crude "thigh gaps" on the images of models wearing bikinis. The graphic artist also altered the torso and waist of the models to give them a desired, but unrealistic Barbie shape.
The altered ads resulted in angry comments on Jezebel magazine's website.
It is no secret that self-conscious socialite Kim Kardashian manipulates selfies and other social media photos to erase her physical flaws. Kim is so narcissistic that she photoshops photos of her own baby! But the latest selfie has even her staunchest supporters in doubt.
The moment I saw the new photo of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter, North West, on Kim's Instagram page, I sensed something was odd about it. The area above Nori's eyes was "pixelized" -- a sure sign that the image was Photoshopped.
Socialite Kim Kardashian posted this image of her adorable daughter, North West on her Instagram page yesterday. Later in the day, the reality TV star was spotted out & About with her older sister, Kourtney, Nori and Kourtney's daughter.

Earlier this week I told you about the media and lawmakers' response to President Obama saying he occasionally goes skeet shooting up at Camp David on his weekends off.
"Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," Mr. Obama told New Republic magazine.
In response to the brouhaha that erupted when lawmakers questioned Obama's sincerity, The New Republic magazine Photoshopped a picture of Obama skeet shooting at Camp David.
In response to the fake photo, the White House released a real image of the president firing a real gun.
If you don't immediately recognize the slutty woman in the latest PeTA ad, that's because the ad is Photoshopped beyond recognition.
According to Vibe Vixen, The “I’d Rather Go Naked” PeTA model is former reality star Evelyn Lozada, who stripped off her thong for the animal rights advocacy group.
The Your Beyonce Fantasies blog found this bootleg cover of EBONY magazine's 50 Finest Hot Stars, Sexy Bodies issue. This can't possibly be the finished product. The cover looks like someone scanned it at low quality. I wonder if EBONY even realizes this cover is in the wild?
The stylist responsible for dressing NBA star Kobe Bryant in those dreadful, borderline racist L.A. Times photo shoot images has reacted to the widespread criticism of the photos.
It's clear that the L.A. Times wanted exactly the type of response these pics elicited from the public or they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of Photoshopping Kobe's pictures beyond recognition.
The stylist, one James Valeri, gamely took the heat for the insulting, unflattering photos of Kobe. But in reality, these images are not the stylist's fault. Whoever Photoshopped the pics are to blame, not the stylist.
When a loyal reader emailed the pics to me, I initially thought it was a prank. Kobe can't be happy with the way these pictures turned out. I doubt he will sit for another photo shoot any time soon.
Here's what Valeri had to say about the concept and the wardrobe choices:
On the project's concept
The concept was about shooting everything in white. That was Ruven's idea [photographer Ruven Afanador]. But I wanted to do something more modern and less conventional and less cliched. ... It's a more modern silhouette. It's not like, 'Let's just put Kobe in a pair of pants and a shirt or in a suit.' The clothing is all layered.On the negative reactions
The scarf picture and the hat picture were more to create an iconic image. When you do a portrait, you do think of the styling in how they're going to be different and how they're going to stand out. In 10 years time, or five years time, there has to be something particular or strange or different that will stand out. That image will stay in your mind. That's how it's going to become iconic. ... A lot of people aren't used to that, so when iconic pictures come out, they're disturbing, insulting, fascinating, it has a strong feeling attached to it, good or bad. Read more...
