    SEE PICS! Demi's head on model's body?

    Has Demi Moore been digitally altered to such an extent on a magazine cover, that her body has been completely replaced with that of a model?

    Online fashion bloggers have questioned whether Demi Moore's body is really her own on the latest cover of W magazine - or whether it has been replaced by that of supermodel Anja Rubik, with Miss Moore's head superimposed on top.

    A spot of airbrushing here and there is to be expected on any magazine cover - but online critics felt that this instance appeared to be one step too far.

    When the December issue of W magazine hit the news stands last week, there was instant questioning from fashion fans, as to whether the already slender Demi had been digitally altered - as in particular, her left hip appeared to be significantly smaller than natural.

    Fashion bloggers and readers went into online overdrive, pointing out that the natural curve of Miss Moore's hip and thigh seemed to be distorted.

    W magazine has firmly denied the claims, saying that ‘nothing unusual' took place - but a prominent style blog has put forward a far more extreme theory...

    The W cover sees the actress sporting a gold Balmain leotard with tassled shoulders and draping around the hips - the same piece worn by 26-year-old model Anja Rubik on the catwalk during the recent Paris show.

    The creators of blog PopCultureMadness have pointed out the striking similarity between Demi's body on the cover, and that of the 20-years-younger model - questioning as to whether a drastic body swap has taken place.

    By comparing two images side-be-side, some eagle-eyed fashion fans are even questioning as to whether Demi actually wore the Balmain leotard in the first place.

    What do you think? Is that really Anja's body we're seeing on the front of the magazine? Is it just an over-altered Demi? Or is this all just a big fuss about nothing? Let us know your comments in the box below!
