MCCARTHY: 'BIKINI BODY SHOT WAS AIRBRUSHED'

Actress/model JENNY MCCARTHY has confessed her stunning Shape magazine cover shot was altered - so freckles and stretchmarks were removed.
The star, who recently revealed she'd undergone Botox treatment, wowed fans with the sexy shot, which featured her wearing a bikini - but she admits the photo isn't for real.
Talking about her look for the cover shot, MCCarthy says, "It's eating healthy and also a c**p load of airbrushing... I keep myself in very good shape... but it is definitely a little touched up.
"I have freckles... and stretchmarks that you do not see here, and they add a little shadowing to make these muscle things happen that don't exist on my body."
Appearing on Tuesday's (14Apr09) Ellen show in the U.S., MCCarthy also revealed she uses a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, like the one Michael Jackson once boasted, to help her stay trim and looking good.
She revealed, "It is an awesome thing... It treats inflammation, it prevents cancer (and) neurological disorders... It's gonna be imperative for everyone one day... There are rentals... It'll cost you $50 (£34) for a session.
"It actually detoxes you and jet-lag, it helps with that... It's just like a tanning spa."
And her love of the oxygen treatments have rubbed off on boyfriend Jim Carrey, who is now also a fan.
MCCarthy added, "Jim goes in all the time. I got him hooked. He said, 'I thought you were crazy, Jenny, and then I tried it and I can't believe how much better I feel.'"
The actress is such a fan she has had an OxyHealth chamber installed at her home.
