Vanity Fair was working on a story about a secret son of JFK's ( here's his photo) until they contacted Ted Kennedy, and now, what do you know, the story's been put on hold until there's a DNA match, which I'm sure the Kennedys are just lining up to give.  |

Just look at that list, before Chris Rock in 2007 one had to go all the back to 1999 to find a person of color. Not that I would ever want to be accused of defending Vanity Fair under any circumstances, but the January 2007 cover was Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy and Beyonce. |

The talk was about the annual Hollywood issues. There must have been more non-white people on regular covers; celebs like Halle Berry and JLo are so big that even though I can't remember their covers, I feel they just have to have had them. Would anyone happen to know if there's a full listing of '00s covers somewhere on the net? |

I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I recently finished reading "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People," by Toby Young. He writes about his stint at Vanity Fair, and paints an interesting (somewhat unflattering) portrait of Graydon Carter. I found Toby's book on the sale table, and I thought it was a fun read for the $5.

The article is in this month's issue (with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Sara Silverman on the cover). |

How convenient that the three funniest women in the whole wide world are apparently white, skinny and straight.

I'm surprised and annoyed that they didn't include Mindy Kaling, considering she's a writer for The Office, has had small but funny parts in Judd Apatow movies, and has a hilarious blog. It doesn't seem like the writer of the article (or whoever came up with the list of women to feature) thought very hard about it.

I wouldn't consider Silverman, Fey, or Poehler the funniest women in the world. And while I can't stand Fey or Silverman, I adore Poehler. I've given up on Vanity Fair - they serve a very limited purpose and cater to a very limited audience - and those are the three women that their "targeted audience" would probably see as the funniest women in the world. I doubt the crowd that Vanity Fair is actually targeting, aside from the fact that many of its readers aren't in that crowd, have ever heard of many of the nonwhite, Black, Latino, and Jewish comics who really are funny.
