Vanity Fair's "New Hollywood" issue completely lacks diversity
by Joanna Douglas

One thing magazines love to do is call dibs on who will be the new "It" celebrities in the year to come. Sometimes they pick stars whose careers are destined to take off, occasionally they make incredible calls with near-nobodies who later become A-listers, and usually the majority of their picks fade into oblivion. While we'd like to think celeb bible Vanity Fair puts a great deal of thought and planning into its annual "New Hollywood" issue, this year the editors really limited their scope when it came to choosing the next big stars. (Or perhaps they overemphasized the "Fair"? ) Every woman on its new cover is extremely thin and very, very white. Unless Vanity Fair considers one redhead to be diversity, we feel the need to cry foul...

1. What the hell else is new? VF has been doing this for years

I honestly don't think that they realize that black and brown people make and (gasp) occasionally even STAR in Hollywood movies! :eyes:

And the fact that a) many of these girls have already been on VF covers (can someone else have a chance in the spotlight??) and b) we'll probably never hear from many of them ever again seems to be a moot point and secondary to the fawning that must be done over their "patrician features" and "Ivory soap girl loveliness." :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

God, I'm so sick of this crap.
