GREAT. now they're gonna tell us we'll need plastic surgery to move our belly buttons or even stitch 'em close. Sigh.

It looks to me like the bathing suit in the bottom picture comes up higher than is obvious (the angle at which she is leaning towards the camera makes it look lower). The only reason you should expect to see her navel there is if you believe the 2nd picture is accurate.

I agree with Andy.

I know that photomanipulation of pictures of women to meet unrealistic standards is harmful in a lot of ways, but I also question whether the hyperintense scrutiny of women's images to catch them in a photoshop faux-pas (many of which are kind of dubious) is much better. Anyone who takes a few seconds to consider what actual human skin looks like and compares it to magazine pictures probably needs no further convincing that photomanipulation's been used anyway.
It reminds me a little of how, in a picture, a woman will have some kind of fold in her clothes at the crotch, since most clothing isn't made of skintight spandex and just normally does fold out there on both men and women. And people, mostly teenage boys and young men it seems, exhibit a weird fixation with insisting "That's a penis!" and feeling like they 'caught' a trans-person. The gratification people get out of real and contrived photoshop gotchas seems somewhat similar. I'm a little uncomfortable with it.

The photo on the German mag looks like plastic Lindsay instead of real Lindsay, but what is real Lindsay.

Second picture is definitely uncanny valley. However, on the third her belly button seems to be just under the waistband of her swimsuit - nothing odd about it. Wouldn't expect it to show in that outfit and that position.

I think the bikini bottom may cover up her real belly button in the last picture.

To Sally and Anonymous above (and maybe a couple others): it's possible that at least one, maybe two of these images ARE accurate; I think the point is that it would be darn-near impossible for ALL of them to be. So in at least one photo, the editors have stretched or shrunk her torso. (Which raises the question, WHY!!!!???)

I've actually noticed in the past that LiLo has a long torso and her naval is place fairly high on her body. None of these pictures look outrageous to me based on other photos I've seen of her in bikinis. This might be a case of our expectations about what a 'normal' bellybutton looks like being erroneous -- I don't think there's outlandish retouching going on here.

I just want to see what Lindsey Lohans belly button looks like.
