Vanity Fair Rolls out the Hollywood Issue

On the cover: Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Elizabeth Olsen, Adepero Oduye, Shailene Woodley, Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Lily Collins, and Brit Marling -- all wearing shiny, really shiny, dresses.

The most interesting thing? To me, it's the fact this wasn't shot by Annie Leibovitz. Mario Testino was behind the camera this time (the first time). Is there anything to read into that? Who knows...

Here's the shot. Click image for larger version. Go here for some videos (Rooney Mara talks a bit).

Funny Girls

Here's VF's April cover by some photog named Leibovitz. From left to right are Sarah Silverman (who I feel certain has a crush on me), Tina Fey (a mutual friend told me she likes me), and Amy Poehler (we were married just a couple years ago [sorry Sarah and Tina]).

Okay, here's a behind-the-scenes shot by Kathryn MacLeod of the so-called 'funny women'. The sophisticated one (without the rubber chicken) is Leibovitz. More pix by MacLeod.

Here's a making-of video -- it's funny as hell. The April issue of Vanity Fair, gonna be good (not like the last one).

Vanity Fair's Women Of Hollywood

Here's Amy Adams shot by Kathryn MacLeod for Vanity Fair as Amy preps to shoot a cover for Annie Leibovitz. More of Kathryn's behind the scenes shots. VF cover making-of video. Who knew shooting a cover for VF was so much work?

The Gang's All Here

Story at Vanity Fair, pics by Annie Leibovitz -- can't beat it.
