Drew Barrymore in Vanity Fair

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:53:50 +0000

Drew Barrymore is looking all 1950s glamorous for her photo shoot with Vanity Fair.

Barrymore is promoting her HBO movie Grey Gardens.

It’s amazing how good a make-up artist can make even the most homely person look glamorous.

Vanity Fair Does West Side Story

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:58:41 +0000

Vanity Fair did a West Side Story photo shoot with an all star case that was magnificent. Even former Jonas Brother girl Camilla Belle was in it. The leading Diva however, was JLo.

A huge West Side Story fan is Jennifer Lopez, who says she watched the film “37 times” as a kid growing up in the Bronx. She was especially attracted to Anita, played by Rita Moreno in the film—a fiery foil to Natalie Wood’s dewy Maria. Says Lopez:

“I never wanted to be that wimpy Maria, who sits around pining for her guy. I wanted to be Anita, who danced her way to the top.”

Now I am longing to see the West Side Story musical. Blast you Vanity Fair!

Vanity Fair Refuses to Retract Gina Gershon and Bill Clinton Story

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:22:43 +0000

Lavely & Singer, lawyers for Gina Gershon pictured above on the far left, have demanded Vanity Fair retract their story they says insinuated Bill Clinton and Gina had an affair. Vanity Fair spokesperson Beth Kseniak responded by saying:

"Todd Purdum’s article does not indicate that former President Bill Clinton had an improper relationship with Gina Gershon. The story merely examines the concerns of some of Clinton’s aides about reports of his behavior. We don’t believe that any correction is warranted."

It’s doubtful Gershon is upset enough to take this to court. Instead she should just write a book about her innocent relationship with Bill Clinton, and make some money.

Vanity Fair Pulls Miley Cyrus Picture Slideshow

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:13:50 +0000

With Disney making accusations that Vanity Fair inappropriately tricked Miley Cyrus into taking her clothes off for a photo shoot, Vanity Fair has now taken their slide show of the photo shoot down. We have to wonder if the fact that Annie Leibovitz is a 58-year-old LESBIAN photographer had anything to do with Vanity Fair’s decision. Gawker even goes so far as to accuse Leibovitz, pictured below with Billy Ray Cyrus at the scene of the crime, of "grooming" Miley the way pedophiles groom their victims. The article gives a very interesting perspective on the whole situation, and gives some credibility to Disney’s accusations of Vanity Fair’s actions and motivation for the controversial photo shoot.

One thing is crystal clear however, both Disney and Miley’s parents were informed of everything that was going to happen at the photo shoot, including Miley appearing without clothes on, and they gave Vanity Fair their consent.

The ladies on The View, especially Whoopie, made some very good points about the photo shoot controversy.

Miley Cyrus Does More Damage Control

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:44:00 +0000

Miley Cyrus is talking now to anyone who will listen, in an effort to defend her photo shoot for Vanity Fair where she took her clothes off. Miley now said to People:

"My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie Leibovitz. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ’artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."

Miley wants us to believe she didn’t know what she was doing because she’s only 15 and stupid, but we know she’s not that stupid. Then Miley defends her other inappropriate pictures that have been released on the Internet for more than a year:

"The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone."

Does Miley really expect us to believe that after 5 releases of inappropriate pictures over more than a year’s time, she did not once realize she had made a mistake until the Vanity Fair photo shoot? That sounds like something Lindsay Lohan would say, and we know she’s a serial liar. Miley then goes on to use faith as a way to gain sympathy and forgiveness:

"Most of all. I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team. My family and my faith will guide me through my life’s journey."

The Disney Channel then defended their prized Hannah Montana star:

"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

Fortunately People found a source to defend Vanity Fair after Disney accused them of taking advantage of a teenage girl, and used sexually suggestive images of her to sell magazines. People says a source close to Miley said she was excited to be working with Leibovitz, and:

"Her parents were there all day. [Father] Billy Ray shot, too."

Though Cyrus’s parents left before the final shot, with Miley supposed to be appearing topless, the source said: "Miley’s grandmother and her teacher were there when she shot it. Annie convinced them it was going to be artistic. Her parents are mortified. They know this is a learning moment for Miley.

"The photo suggests that she is [without clothes on], but she is not. She is covered by a sheet, and beneath the sheet she is clothed. Originally, she was in a flesh-colored tank top but was asked to remove it."

SHOCKING!!! Not only were Miley’s parents present, her grandmother and teacher were there during the photo shoot where Miley took her clothes off. If someone asked you to take your clothes off, wouldn’t you immediately sense something wasn’t right? Wouldn’t a responsible daughter, or grandmother, tell Leibovitz to stop until they got the parents’ permission? Leibovitz would have had to get Miley’s parents to sign a consent form in order to legally do that kind of a photo shoot. Wouldn’t she?

Miley has grown out of her wholesome Hannah Montana role, and is becoming the next Lindsay Lohan, yet Disney still wants Miley to sell the Hannah Montana image. Who’s worse Disney or Vanity Fair?

ET reports that Vanity Fair Editors have now responded to Miley Cyrus’ statement that she feels "embarrassed" by an upcoming photo of her without clothes on in the new Vanity Fair issue. Vanity Fair editors said:

"Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley. In fact, when Bruce Handy interviewed Miley, he asked her about the photo and she was very cheerful about it and thought it was perfectly fine."

There you have it. Miley’s parents, and Miley, knew exactly what was going on the whole time. They only have themselves to blame.

Disney needs to FIRE Miley before she gets more out-of-control!

Victoria’s Secret Angels Naked

Hollywood Grind — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 03:49:16 +0000

The Victoria’s Secret Angels got naked for the Vanity Fair November issue. Naked in this magazine is like bikini naked, where you see most of them naked, but for the parts you really want to see, you have to use your imagination. My imagination is picturing the Victoriaâ€™s Secret Angels serving me food and drinks, giving me a massage, and changing the television channels for me since I lost my remote. Click the thumbnail below to see the HQ image.

From left to right: Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima.

Nicole Kidman Says She Was Secretly Engaged

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 10:02:21 +0000

We really wanted to entitle this post "Nicole Kidman, Fool, Was In A Rush to Marry After Escaping Her Unholy Union with Tom Cruise" but we feared that it might not be the best search-engine-appropriate headline.

And that we might spark the ire of an unnamed, wee-yet-litigious man.

Oh! And that we might sound too much like Mr. T.

So, the story, according to Page Six, is that Nicole Kidman reveals in her Vanity Fair interview that she was "secretly engaged" to a man she won’t name in between the end of her ~~contract~~ marriage to Mr. Tom Cruise and before she married Aussie country crooner Keith Urban.

But our sources say he was Lenny Kravitz. "They were even house-hunting together for a while," a spy said. A representative for Kravitz said, "I cannot confirm or deny it." A rep for Kidman said, "I don’t know."

So there you have it…unsubstantiated, yet highly likely…and not nearly as interesting as the picture on the cover.

Come on. Secretly engaged for a short time? That’s like being almost pregnant. Half the kids in school can claim that.

Jordan is a Big, Airbrushed Exhibitionist

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 16:20:17 +0000

Good Glory!

Reality-TV stars the about-to-pop (she’s still pregnant??) Katie Price Jordan and her icky hubby, Peter Andre, are featured in a nude photo shoot in The Sun today.

She’s no Demi Moore, and The Sun isn’t Vanity Fair, but we’ve recently received specific requests for more skin.

There you go. Lots of skin.

Hope you like blatantly retouched photos.
