Do You Prefer Your pets to Your Partners and Other Family Members?

To celebrate national pet month back in April, the folks over at gonedigging.co.uk decided to take a look at how people celebrate their pets through special occasions and holidays, and the rivalry between pets and partners. And now the results are out!

The numbers they dug up - see the inforgraphic below- confirm that pets are literarily ruling the roost, with the vast majority of owners considering that their pets bona-fide members of the family!

Since no one would think of leaving a member of the family out of a special occasion, it would appear pet owners are pampering their pets with special gifts at Christmas, birthdays, and even on Valentine’s Day! Sometimes more than their spouses and other human members of their family!

Mariah Carey Under Fire For Photoshop Fail As Before and After Magazine Pics Surface

This is not the first time Mariah Carey has come under fire for photoshopping the images she put out to the public. Not up to a month ago it was about the cover image on her latest album.

Now under issue are her pictures in the Wonderland Magazine with her twins, and according to the unretouched images obtained by Jezebel, all the pictures had to be redone! Terry Richardson shot Mariah Carey for the magazine and his bright shots were not acceptable to Mariah, her team or the magazine.

Who else is surprised? Mariah Carey is in her forties, still selling music to teenagers, of course she wants to look younger and skinnier so as to appeal to them.

I think photoshop is better than going under the knife, at least she accepts herself as she is, and her husband Nick Cannon and her kids are not complaining. I think the image alteration is purely for business and the public. Check out the pics below...
