Here’s a confession for my crafty fellow PopWatchers: I’m highly skilled in the art of decoupage. In fact, I’ve been known to whip up objets ‘d arte using a copy of People magazine, a glue stick, and my teenyboppy imagination.
Now as an intern at EW.com, my cube doesn’t have an official plastic nametag, so on a recent afternoon, after coming across a small picture of my beloved Justin Timberlake with an actress who’s apparently known as Jessica Biel, I decided to remedy the situation; I sized a Facebook-approved photo of myself to fit conveniently over this Biel person’s head — no hard feelings, dear — and my Faux-to Shopping was the instant horror envy of my co-workers.
I know in my heart I’m not alone in my gluey professions of love for my favorite entertainers. If you’ve ever sacrificed one celebrity’s head to weasel your way up next to another, then it’s time to confess your cut and pastes in the comments section below!

Ugh, back in the days when I lusted for Brad Pitt, I removed Jennifer Aniston’s head from a picture (From the Troy premiere) and replaced it with my own geeky fangirl smiling face. Needless to say, I looked quite excited to ‘be at the premiere’ with the handsome Pitt.
I should totally try this with a Christian Bale picture too, lol
My friend (knowing my long time love for Joshua Jackson) photoshopped my head on Diane Kurger body on one of their couple picture! So I got to be a fashionista and more importantly, Joshua Jackson’s date!!
Guilty…I photo-shopped my prom picture with Matt Damon’s at a movie premiere (I’m thinking it was “The Talented Mr Ripley” premiere).
OK, this is so embarassing mainly because I’m so old and nobody is going to know who I’m talking about. But back in the day I loved Daniel Hugh-Kelly from the TV show “Hardcastle & McCormick.” I would videotape episodes of H&M and then freezeframe close-ups of DHK until I found a “good” one. Then I would put my head next to Daniels on the TV and take a picture. I really was hoping just one of these pictures would truly look like I was REALLY with him. Alas, it never looked that way. And looking back, that was probably a good thing.
Well, I am not sure if it counts, but I had to do an assignment for a Photoshop class I was in, and I took a picture of myself having a martini with a friend and Photoshopped Brad Pitt in as the bartender, with Angie staring jealously from the corner. My teacher’s response: “Somehow Brad Pitt always makes into at least one person’s assignment…”
This might not count, since Jim Halpert isn’t a real person, but… I took a picture of Jim at Pam’s reception desk and Photoshopped my head over Pam’s, so it was like Jim was gazing lovingly at me instead. It was my Facebook profile picture for like 6 months.
Is this a girls-only thing? I kind of doubt it, but I am curious…
Make that two for Jim Halpert. My friend Sarah had a picture of the two of us standing together hanging in her cube. I, being the 12 year old girl that I am, found a picture of John Krasinski attending an awards, cut it out, and taped it to the picture. Now it looks like the three of us are standing at a Gwen Stefani concert. Does it make it less dorky if it’s hanging in someone else’s cube? Anyone? Bueller??
When I was in middle school it was all about Ashton Kutcher,,,i made way too many collages of him and me.
But now its all about JOHN KRASINSKI…he is my soulmate
I photoshopped my head onto a steamy black & white photo of Kate & Sawyer from Lost. My friends are all totally jealous…thanks, graphic design degree!
Ugh- I had a roommate who photoshopped an old picture of her at a formal so it looked like Tom Brady was her date. She put it on her desk, which was hard for a rabid Patriots-hater like me to handle. Oh, and when I was in sixth grade my friend and I pasted pictures of Zac Hanson into our middle-school yearbook to make it look like he was in our class. Embarrassing, but I was 12!
In high-school for my birthday one of my friends created a wedding invitation with a cut-out of my head next to a picture of Johnny Depp. We still haven’t set the date.
