In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday, actress/model Jenny McCarthy confessed that her stunning bikini-clad cover shot on the May 2009 issue of Shape Magazine was altered.

The former Playboy centerfold, who dons a red two-piece on the current issue of the fitness guide says, “It’s eating healthy and also a crap 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.”
