Adam Levine's missing torso, Kristen Stewart's amputated arm and Beyoncé's thighs - it must be the latest round of Photoshop fails

They need less help than most of us mere mortals in the looks department, yet they continue to be on the receiving end of some far-from realistic airbrushing escapades.
No matter how beautiful, or famous, some celebrities are, it seems they are never far from an embarrassing Photoshop fail.
The latest handful of bloopers comes via some of the world's glossiest and most exclusive magazine titles.

No right side: Adam Levine looks like he is missing a fair portion of his torso in an image in Vogue Russia magazine. The Maroon 5 star was photographed with girlfriend, model Anne Vyalitsyna

Perhaps most bizarre is Russian Vogue's manifestation of Adam Levine's torso.

The Maroon 5 singer and boyfriend of Russian model Anna Vyalitsyna, appears to have lost a sizeable portion of his midriff at the hands of over-enthusiastic digital re-touching in the November edition of the magazine.
Rather than slimming down the Californian rock star's toned figure, seen wrapped around Miss Vyalitsyna's never-ending legs, the 32-year-old - who in the past has stripped naked for UK's Cosmopolitan magazine in aid of testicular cancer awareness - is seen with gaping nothingness where his right side should be.
An editor at Photoshop Disasters, told MailOnline that the image 'certainly is a disaster and we believe that they removed his torso and maybe increased the width of her leg.'

Not limited to Vogue, Glamour magazine have also fallen prey to over-zealous digital enhancement.
Kristen Stewart, star of the Twilight Saga, appears to be missing her lower left arm on the cover of its November issue.
While the 21-year-old actress may be used to hocus pocus in her role as Bella Swan in the vampire series, there's no doubt that her hidden limb is incongruous in the shot, which was the responsibility of the same team who infamously gave singer Fergie different sized legs and a missing lower torso on a cover last year.
It all makes for an oddly imbalanced image, Miss Stewart's left arm coming to sudden halt at about chest height and disappearing behind her (very flexible) lower leg.

Then there are Beyoncé's lovely legs.
The 30-year-old mega-star, whose first baby with husband Jay-Z is due in February, is a not a woman whose figure cries out for anything other than praise.

But photographer Terry Richardson felt the need to go to work on the Bootylicious star's thighs, shaving them to within an inch of their usually voluptuous lives for the cover shot.
Looking impossibly stick-like compared to her more usual - and indeed enviable - pins, the singer's legs contrast to the behind-the-scenes film from the shoot where they appear, apparently undisguised, their more healthy size.

The singer's stomach doesn't seem to hint of a baby bump - though in the film, again, the singer's stomach is clearly showing signs of the pregnancy, news of which brought Twitter to near-meltdown in August.
At a performance in New York that month, Beyoncé's legs again look their more typical curvy shape, her giving no inkling of her pregnancy, revealed just days later at the VMAs.
Magazines have been criticised for over-modifying photographs, often without the subject's permission or knowledge.
Grazia magazine came under fire for slimming the Duchess of Cambridge's waist 'inadvertently' while Photoshopping her right arm to produce the cover image for the commemorative Royal wedding special issue on May 9.

As comical as some Photoshop fails may be, the culture of digitally altering images is said to be part of a more sinister problem.
Seth and Eva Matlins, founders of magazine and fashion label Off Our Chests, recently launched a campaign to pass a bill that would regulate the digital retouching of models in magazines and advertisements.
They want commercials and magazine spreads to be accompanied by disclaimers if models have been significantly airbrushed or Photoshopped.
Mrs Matlins said: 'Real, serious, and enduring problems occur when we don't recognize that the images and ideals of the human form being presented in the media are setting unrealistic expectations and standards for our country's female population.'
In June, the American Medical Association spoke out against the use of photo-editing software, claiming that its altered images can have a negative impact on the self-esteem of children and teenagers.
The group said: 'We must stop exposing impressionable children and teenagers to advertisements portraying models with body types only attainable with the help of photo editing software.'
