Chris Richardson and Blake Lewis are close friends on "Idol," but they probably aren't this close. 
The fake photo has been making the Internet rounds, but the original was taken backstage at "American Idol" on February 20.
If the people behind the doctored photo wanted people to believe it was real, using Sanjaya might have been more convincing!

1. There is nothing wrong with what they are doing. It looks very natural and sexy. They make a good couple.

7. Now look what you have just done, you just went and screwed yourself TMZ and seriously screwed Perez Hiltons site. Now everyone will be aware of how you all photoshop your pics (not like we didn't know that already) to make them look as bad as they possibly can and get the most attention. Not such a smart, funny post now was it?

11. What's scary is that picture looks real...
I guess the pics of celebs kissing or doing other questionable stuff aren't always legitimate if people can use photoshop this well.

13. i made this, it was supposed to be fun for a board that I go to, I didn't know that it was going to end up getting all over the place, it's really annoying that people just steal your work like this. I would love to find out who took it from the board in the first place. It was just done for some fun. Please if this is going to be posted anywhere else, please use the tagged version cause I really don't want people freakin' out again saying that it's real and all this, so please just either don't post it anywhere else or use this version:

15. Okay, post #25, what in the heck in your problem?! Golly gee, you are one negative person. Your personal attacks against Mel, #20, were kind of mean, frankly. You sound like you have personal issues: maybe you have a crush on Chris or Blake and you're just jealous that they love each other so much! You need to just sit down and enjoy a big piece of cake, girlfriend! Cake will save the dinosaurs, and Cake will even save the world from grouchy scootergirls or whatever you think you are. Peace, honey: cease and desist from the hatin'! And be sure to watch American Idol and vote for Cake!!!
