I'm sick of hearing everyone's criticism of celebrities. IMO, Keira is gorgeous, moreso than many of the models that are so popular today. This cover is overphotoshopped to the point of aging her a good 20 years, but that doesn't mean that she looks bad or that it's her fault for it being a "boring" cover. I'm sure the original shot was 100 times better, and that if you put a model in her place she would be equally as unable to handle an intense and unflattering Photoshop job as was employed in the case of this Elle cover.
