The Mystery of Demi Moore’s W Magazine Missing Hip Continues

F My Life: It's Funny, It's True, Except When It Happens to You

The Demi Moore camp still refuses to reveal whether or not the actress' photo on the cover of W magazine's December issue was retouched.

Last month we reported on the mystery of the missing hip and speculated that Moore had been Ralph-Laurenized like certain other models.

Fashion photographer Anthony Citrano has been complaining since November that part of Demi Moore's left hip appeared to have been digitally "altered" on the cover.

W creative director Dennis Freedman has repeatedly denied the claim. So have photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

They were quoted as saying, "When we met Demi for the W cover story, she was super-fit to start with . . . There was absolutely no retouching on her hips or waist or legs!"

The Moore camp has now chimed in as well. Just last week, Citrano got a letter from Moore's attorney, Marty Singer, demanding an apology.

"As you are undoubtedly well aware, my client's appearance is of great importance to her career and livelihood, and false claims or insinuations that she secretly uses extraordinarily artificial means to alter her appearance are extremely damaging," read Singer's note.

Citrano retaliated by posting Singer's confidential letter on his website, along with his reply, which stated: "Ms. Moore's implication that her image went straight from camera to cover is incredible, whether she believes it or not. Simply put, this never happens."

So will Citrano be issuing an apology or a retraction? He says: "Neither of these will be forthcoming."
