Anna Nicole Smith Post Mortem Pics Not So Fake..

Well it looks like the rumors of the post mortem photos of Anna Nicole Smith not being fake may just be true. Looks like they are as real as Micheal Jackson is gay and in love with little boys.

"No wonder the National Enquirer wasn't more sheepish about its phony photos of Anna Nicole Smith's corpse. They weren't phony after all—or so sources at publisher American Media are claiming. "The photos were real," says one tipster at the company. "They were taken with a cell phone. The Enquirer had to say that they were fake to protect their source. There are only a couple people who had that kind of access to the body." An AMI insider backs up that account, adding that legal issues had also come into play. The results: A caption claiming the images of a blue-lipped Smith in a body bag were "a photo re-creation" and editor in chief David Perel's slipperiness when asked how they'd been produced. ("There were so many different layers of how to achieve it, I couldn't even begin to describe it to you.") One conspiracy theory posed is that the Enquirer retouched the real corpse photo to make it look like a fake, and that the larger of the two photos splashed across the spread is a recreated scene, while the smaller, more grim shot is the real deal pulled from a camera phone. That speculation, which suggests an almost unimaginable breach of journalistic ethics (even for the Enquirer) gets even spookier when taken in the context of Perel's earlier comment implying that the editor has at least seen the genuine photos of a dead Smith: "If you had our images side-by-side with the actual photos, I don't know if you'd be able to tell them apart," Perel told Radar. Asked about these claims on Friday, Perel stuck to his story but resisted going into detail. "These were photo re-creations based on an eyewitness account," he said. Did that eyewitness happen to have a camera? "I won't talk about sources. I don't have photos of the body." Perel's evasiveness could mean he has something to hide—or that he's not overeager to quash rumors about the photos being real, even if they're not. One longtime veteran of the Enquirer is confident it's the latter: "If they had the real photos, I guarantee you there is no way they wouldn't be saying so." Conrad Rotondella, a New York-based digital retouching artist, says the larger image, at least, is almost certainly the result of computer chicanery. "There's a definite difference between the neck and the chin," he notes. "Also, the perspective of her face doesn't match the perspective of the body in the bag." As for the smaller image, he adds, "I can't be absolutely sure due to the quality of the photograph, but there does appear to be some Photoshop 'masking.'"

FAKE? As one theory goes: This is the recreated image of Smith's body ...

REAL? Note differences in eye shapes from the previous photo, the part in her hair on the opposite side, and the fact that Smith's mouth is open.
