SACHA BARON COHEN TIDIES UP THE OVAL OFFICE
Fell in love with this photo of Sacha Baron Cohen cleaning up the White House in Vanity Fair’s 27th annual Hollywood issue. It’s award season and the publication is celebrating ten actors, directors, and producers who made a splash during the pandemic. Cohen successfully filmed his Borat 2 movie under challenging pandemic circumstances and it won him a Golden Globe. He takes delight in making fun of American politics.
Conceptual artists Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari created this picture for Vanity Fair.
CHARLIZE THERON : BEST DRESSED AT VANITY FAIR PARTY
WOW- we almost missed this amazing outfit! We’ve seen plenty of fringed dresses in our years of fashion observation, but Charlize Theron’s gold fringe Dior is the all-time best! And walking only makes it look better. Charlize, who happens to be the face of Dior, wore another dress on stage at the Oscars, and for some reason saved this metallic beauty for the Vanity Fair after-party.

RUMER WILLIS HAS NO PROBLEM WITH HER LOOKS – BUT SHE’S STILL A LITTLE OBSESSED
There aren’t many women around who would take offense at a Vanity Fair photographer photoshopping them to look more attractive. In fact, most women would be thrilled just to appear in the magazine. So Rumer Willis (above, center) proved herself one of a kind when she called out Vanity Fair for altering her chin in a photo. We witnessed the cruel comments people made online about her appearance when she was growing up and felt awful for her. She has apparently gotten over it and has confidence in her looks today. Rumer said “Altering someone’s beauty is a form of bullying.” The photo never appeared in the magazine, only online, and the photographers responsible claim they only made corrections necessary because they used a wide angle lens and never intended to change her looks. We side with Rumer, and are amazed that she has the courage to declare herself beautiful while most models don’t think they are. Wouldn’t it be nice if the pursuit of beauty was NOT emphasized to little girls growing up?
“CALLING BRUCE JENNER A WOMAN IS AN INSULT TO WOMEN”
That headline is something we’ve been saying to our friends for weeks and it’s finally come out in the open. Imagine – a MAN named Matt Walsh wrote this long commentary for The Blaze about the Jenner Vanity Fair cover. We certainly don’t agree with everything Matt says, but he makes some good points.
Bruce claims to feel “authentic” on the magazine cover – after extensive plastic surgery, synthetic hormone treatments, tons of makeup, fake hair, and serious photoshopping. Authentic? Jenner APPEARS to pass as a woman. He claims to experience feelings that he assumes are feminine- and he can afford to act upon his impulses. But there IS more to a woman than “feminized features” and frilly underwear – Bruce does not and never will have a woman’s biology. We sympathize with Bruce and we WILL call him Caitlyn, but we will never call him a woman.
CAITLYN JENNER: LOOKING LIKE JESSICA LANGE IS NOT EASY
How does Jessica Lange REALLY feel about being compared to Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair? When asked, Jessica claimed she doesn’t do Twitter and had no idea she was trending since the comparison. Of course the so-called resemblance is very flattering for Jenner, not so much for Jessica. She happens to be an extraordinarily beautiful actress. We wonder if she’s privately mortified by the supposed resemblance. Of course, she wouldn’t dare admit it. We happen to think that when Caitlyn has her own hair, she looks more like Helen Hunt.

MARIAH CAREY’S NOT THE ONLY ONE BEING PHOTOSHOPPED
It’s about time that a MALE celebrity got picked on for having his magazine cover photoshopped to improve his looks! And it happened to none other than Prince William! The website Racked pointed out that the Prince had more hair on the Vanity Fair cover than he did in the original photo taken during the royal family’s Australian tour. Kate has been known to joke about her husband’s hair loss so it doesn’t seem to be a traumatic issue for him. Strangely, Vanity Fair DENIES they photoshopped more hair on his head.
GWYNETH PALTROW: I’VE GOT A SECRET
Vanity Fair sure knows how to drum up business. The magazine has always fawned over celebrities in the past but they’ve changed their policy and decided to do more “investigative” reporting. In other words, the celebrity stories won’t be so flattering. That’s why former cover girl Gwyneth Paltrow blanched when she learned they were researching a story about HER and advised her friends to clam up. (Her enemies will have more interesting things to say about her anyway.) She may be worried because rumors about an “open marriage” circulated not long ago. And apparently VF has been digging up info on a fling Gwyneth might have had with her attractive billionaire friend Jeff Soffer. It’s not far-fetched. Gwyneth cheated on Brad Pitt when they were engaged. We just wonder if Chris Martin knows he has an allegedly “open marriage!”
GWYNETH PALTROW AND VANITY FAIR ARE NOW ON THE OUTS
What does Gwyneth Paltrow have to hide? THAT is the burning question since it was revealed that Vanity Fair is writing an article about her WITHOUT her cooperation. Gwyneth has been warning friends and associates NOT to speak to the magazine. We could understand if this was The National Enquirer, but it’s Vanity Fair, for heaven’s sake! Gwyneth (above) has always been their darling! VF loves celebrities and their more provocative exposes are usually about socialites or criminals. For Gwyneth to be in fear of VF, there have to be some skeletons rattling in her closet. We already know that she cheated on Brad Pitt when they were together and that’s why they split up. We’re thinking Gwyneth would want to cover up some kind of cheating or secret plastic surgery or employee scandal. All this fuss will certainly call attention to the article, and we’re dying to get our hands on it.
ONE OF THESE GLAMOUR GIRLS IS NOT A WOMAN
Lots of familiar and glamorous faces through the last thirteen years have served as spokespeople for MAC’s Viva Glam lipstick. Each celebrity had their own lipstick color and sales revenue and MAC donated the proceeds to charity. Which of these beauties is really a man?
