Kim Kardashian's 'Break the Internet' photo not real (photoshopped)

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West's shoot with Paper magazine was photoshopped, according to Kim Hastreiter, the co-founder and editor of the publication.

Kim Hastreiter, the co-founder and editor of Paper, has acknowledged that the image which shows Kim, 34, resting a glass on her back has been tampered with.

She said, "Of course it was photoshopped. Do you really think that you can open a bottle and get it to spray in a thin line over someone's head and land perfectly in a glass sitting on that same person's bottom?"

Speaking more broadly about the controversial shoot - which saw Kim expose her famous rear to the camera - she told DigiDay: "Kim really adored the work of (photographer) Jean-Paul Goude and was dying to work with him.

"We made the match and once we did, Kim needed no cajoling. It was like a dream shoot.

"In fact she arrived at the shoot totally excited and game to collaborate and do whatever it took to make the most amazing Break the Internet images possible. And they went there!"

And reflecting on the intense response to the images, the magazine editor said: "I have not laughed so hard in so long. This is so much fun. Andy Warhol would have loved this."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini douts:

Singer Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is unconvinced by the authenticity of Kim Kardashian's nude shoot for Paper Magazine.

The controversial images show Kim's body covered in oil as she exposes her famous rear - but Cheryl, 31, isn't convinced that the images haven't been tampered with.

She said, "I don't think it's real.

"I'll refrain from judgement because each to their own. But I would never do it. I could never. I could never. I could never."

Despite attracting attention for posting a picture of her own tattooed backside online last year, Cheryl insists she's uncomfortable about stripping off in front of people she barely knows.

The 'X Factor' judge told The Sun newspaper, "I can't even get changed in front of my stylist who I've had for years. Just no."

Cheryl sent a message of support to Kim, 34, last year after she was attacked over her pregnancy body and taste in fashion.

Back then, Cheryl tweeted, "Just wanted to send you a tweet to say I think you are an incredibly beautiful woman inside and out.

"I can only imagine how tough it is to be heavily pregnant and feeling extremely vulnerable on top of some of the daily criticism you take! I admire your tenacity and send you my best wishes with the rest of your pregnancy #enjoyyourblessing x (sic)."
