Spare a thought for Steven Huvane, Jennifer Aniston’s publicist who according to Media Life is fighting the good fight with Redbook magazine. The magazine has printed Aniston on it’s cover and Huvane claims that the photo has been doctored and Aniston is questioning whether the body parts in question are her’s at all.
The magazine admits to changing the color of her shirt and lengthening her hair, but that’s all.
