I have never seen a celebrity who has had kids , even up to 5 kids with stretch marks. How is that possible ? i know that in magazines they use air- brushing and such , but what about on tv ( not movies ) surely make-up couldn't hide big pregnancy scars ( stretch marks). i'm very curious as to why they don't have stretch marks from pregnancy ...

During my pregnancy I asked that same question.
First of all, stretchmarks are unavoidable. Most women get them, some do not. It depends on how much elasticity your skin has. My grandmother had 13 children (yes, it's a lot!) and didn't get any stretchmarks. My mom had two children and didn't get any either. I, however, got stretchmarks during my pregnancy. My one and a half year old weighed 8lbs 14.5oz at birth, and I've always been fairly small. I'm slim again, but I still have stretchmarks.
When I was pregnant I wanted to avoid stretchmarks as best as possible. I used vitamin E, cocoa butter, and shea butter every day of my pregnancy. I still got them.
So, I did some research once and found that fancy creams and laser treatments do not work. The only way to effectively remove stretch marks it to have that skin cut off during a tummy tuck.
Although some celebrities actually do have stretch marks, I read that quite a few celebrities schedule early c-sections to avoid extra weight gain and stretch marks.

You said it air brushing. It all has to do with genetics as well. I think since some of them were in shape before pregnancy they go right back to working out. Since their in the public eye they will get criticized for being 5 lbs over 100 lbs(lol). Some women shed their baby weight quite quickly and others dont. If I had the money, personal chefs, personal trainers, nannies like they do then maybe I could devote most of my day to working out while someone else watched my kids, cooked the meals, did the laundry etc...I'm the mother of 4 children 3 pregnancies. I used cocoa butter cause everyone swore by it and it does not help with stretch marks least it didnt help me. I think its more just for lubricating the skin cause nothing prevented me from getting them mostly on my stomach. I am 5'9 and 120's before pregnant now I'm 37 and 160 my twins are 15 now which they weighed 5'7 and 5'3 .They(celebrities) should look better than average with all the millions they make.

I think some people just have naturally good skin and they just fade in time. I'm sure some go as far as to have some sort of plastic surgery to remove them. I actually have a friend with 3 kids and she doesn't have any stretch marks and has a washboard stomach! If I didn't know her, I'd swear she didn't have kids.

Girl, it's crazy, right?
I'm an actor in the tv/film industry, and yes, they have some wonderful things to cover up scars, tattoos, etc.
I have a very dark tattoo that was covered up very well.
I am sure there are some celebs with stretch marks, though!

Funny, I've wondered the same thing.
Some people don't get them, but it is genetics and it doesn't matter what shape you were in pre-pregnancy. Even Halle Berry might get stretch marks!
I wonder if they have serious tummy-tucks and just cut off all the skin with stretch marks?

Very clever camera work and body doubles for certain shots and good lighting etc - don't believe it ! Although some lucky women may not get stretch marks being a celebrity does not make you immune !

My fiance doesn't have any stretch marks yet, and we are in the 3rd trimester. However, she has always had flawless skin, she has stayed on top of drinking alot of water and keeping her skin moisturized, and she has kept her weight gain low.
The celebrities, knowing they will be under public scrutiny, probably maintain a similar regimen...
