Vanity Fair (the Magazine)

The 2000 Hollywood cover with Paul Walker and the American Pie crowd is still worse

True, but at least it didn't have ScarJo's frighteningly pale ass.

Hey! There's nothing wrong with frighteningly pale asses. At least she doesn't look unnaturally tanned (tans freak. me. out. Not different skin colours, just tans).

I do however agree that there's no need for ANY kind of asses on Vanity Fair.

[laconicchick]

Oh yeah, and is it me or do the two of them look very uncomfortable naked? It seems kind of wrong to have them naked and him clothed.

Here is a poor quality image of the 2000 cover featuring the sure to be HUGE stars Wes Bentley, Penelope Cruz and Mena Suvari. Oops. The lack of star power is laughable but the picture itself isn't so bad. I don't remember who was on the inside flap though.

The Tom Ford cover is just unappealing. It would have been better with more pale, naked actresses or without Tom Ford. It is creepy without being interesting, and the ladies look like they are trying too hard and are oddly posed (maybe that is bad photoshopping). Both KK and Scarlett are gorgeous but both have looked far better. What a waste.

Is there any way to find all the Hollywood covers online? I have vague memories of them, but I'd like to be able to compare.

Keira Knightley shouldn't take pictures w/ her chin thrust forward...it makes her jaw look huge.

Agree. It's a shame that VF had two beautiful actresses willing to pose and rewarded them by making them look utterly unsexy.

Even if Tom Ford is editing, why the hell is he on the cover? He's not Hollywood.

I complained a bit about Bosworth and Miller on last year's cover, but that was still better than this dullness. Pasty white starlets (aged 20 and 21) and a middle-aged creep? Yawn. Never saw that before.

I though maybe McAdams was overreacting when she fired her publicist, but perhaps she was willing to do the cover and then backed out when she realized how dull and unattractive they'd make the actresses look. Good for her, I'm saying now.

Personally I think the photo captures Keira and ScarJo perfectly: two incredibly average-looking girls with so-so bodies trying to look vaguely sexy and failing miserably. As usual.

The only thing that *is* interesting about the shot to me is the WTFness of Tom Ford in the picture. He's just so random and out of place and so obviously playing out his own personal fantasy in front of the camera that it makes the whole thing kind of funny in a skeevy way. Unfortunately, I don't think Keira and ScarJo "got" the joke.

Forget the cover, have you seen the picture of Eric Bana! That alone would be worth the price of the magazine-however overpriced it may be. In fact they probably should have put Eric Bana on the cover, as the picture of Scarlett and Kiera is very unflattering. And of course everyone will talk about how "hot" it is because they are both young, white, blonde girls. UGH.

Eric Bana? SOLD!

Not just Eric Bana but Eric Bana in a speedo
