Reddit user SamuEL got famous for creating a series of celebrities that look like bobble heads. Note how he keeps them as photo-realistic as possible, so celebrities in his works actually look like big-headed freaks. Yeah, that's one of the reasons Photoshop was created!
Take any celebrities and turn them into bobbleheads as in the examples above.

Contest Directions:Spy scandal between the US and Russia (yet again!) - Russian FSB (former KGB) agents have stopped and detained US diplomat Ryan Fogle in what they claim was "a red-handed attempt to recruit a Russian intelligence agent". Fogle had several spy gadgets, a "recruiting letter", 100,000 EUR cash on him, and was wearing a wig to hide his identity - when he (allegedly) was about to meet the Russian agent to recruit him to work for the CIA. Being a US diplomat, Fogle has a diplomatic immunity, so the Russian authorities had to release him back to the US Embassy in Moscow and demanded his extradition from Russia, claiming that Fogle is an undercover CIA agent. "Spy games" between the US and Russia have never stopped, even 20 years after the cold war was over. Last year 11 Russians were expelled from the US for spying. All of them were long time citizens of the US, and allegedly, had been previously spy-trained in Russia and "sent" to the US.
Take any object and turn it into a spy device / gadget.

Past Sunday was one of the most celebrated holidays in the USA - Mother's Day is one day we have set aside to honor our mother. Let's face it, we would really be nowhere without her.
In belated celebration of Mother's Day at Freaking News we are asking you to photoshop any famous person as BOTH mother AND child in the same entry.
A good example would be a mother looking like Barack Obama holding a child looking like Barack Obama. Please note that we are not looking for real moms and kids of some celebrity. Rather we ask you to create a mom and a child version of him.
