Dschingis, what is this, your first day on the internet? ;) www.mrskin.com

IMO, the worst crime of Vanity Fair is Renee Zellweger as Kim Novak. BARF!!!

Biel's been 'the next big thing' for several years now. She better start doing something of quality soon or we'll kick her out.
Yes, if this is the cover for the Hollywood issue, one would think they'd have the nominees for all the major awards which would include Marion (Rebecca, buy the DVD - you won't regret it) and Ruby Dee.
Hey, maybe they should have gotten all the p.g. actresses for this cover!

Jessia Biel is so out of place on that cover. There's NOTHING "fresh" about her. She was on that crappy 7th Heaven for YEARS. She's been in movies for awhile.

Her agents and PR people keep making us want to believe she's the "next big thing" because her times have come and gone so much.

If she wasn't "dating" Timberlake, she would never ever have got a spot there.

She really does have amazing PR people to keep a C-list actress so publicized like she's A-list.

Ellen Page looks sooo bored in that video.

the only thing i remember beard/biel has done is RUIN the movie "the illusionist" - what a feat.
props to her publicist and agent.

Just chiming in with you all. I agree that Biel seems an odd choice for this cover, but she does have about three projects for this year, and I'm thinking that the subjects for the cover are chosen with regard to how prevalent they are with regard to impact over the last year, or what is anticipated for the coming year. I do think that Marion Cotillard would have been a better fit, but she only recently made her 'splash', and I bet the selections were made before her performance was formally recognized. Personally, I like the cover and feel that these were not generic choices, with the exception of Biel, but I still there's a motive behind this. As for minority exclusion, well there seems to be a nice mix here and most selected seem to merit the cover by virtue of their talent, not their skin colour. I'm most surprised by Elizabeth Banks inclusion for some reason, but I really enjoy her work and she has a ton of projects on the go at the moment so I'm thinking she will be the one to watch.

Thank you for the sanity check Rebecca and Kory!

i see actors -some talented some not..not colour. IMO.

how the fuck did David Arquette, Brit Murphy and Selma Blair get in there?
If it were my mag only peope who have maintained a great consistent carrer spanning more than 5 years would be in it.

How the F is Biel a "fresh" face. Give me a break....

2008-02-05T11:50:00.000-08:00

How the F is Biel a "fresh" face. Give me a break. She shouldn't have even made the flap. And America Ferrera, the girl with the Golden Globe is on the flap? What the heck.
And I agree...Cotillard should have been on the cover. She's more fresh and talented than Beard... I'm mean Biel will ever be.

Isn't Ellen Page a little young to have such a bad case of Osteoporosis?

2008-02-05T11:29:00.000-08:00

Wow I was just about to comment on that: looks like anyone of color didnt make the COVER--they made the PULLOUT. The few that I see with more visibility, are lighter in skin color even if they are "ethnic".

By the way, to any of you who are intersted... here's the link where it explains about the racist remarks targeted at Hispanics.

2008-02-05T11:13:00.000-08:00

_-_=_,

Exactly!!! There's just no balance. The minorites are either grouped together or strategically placed in the pullout. Well, there was that "controversy" a few years ago that a columnist at VF wrote some racist remarks targeted at Mexicans. Something about housekeepers... anyway, an apology was demanded.

2008-02-05T11:12:00.000-08:00

Westward,
I don't see any sistahs in the 2008 issue. Zoe Saldana is Dominican, America is Mexican and Braga is Brasilian. It would have been nice to see Joy Bryant, Keri Washington, anybody else but Biel (da muff eating beard)on the cover.

2008-02-05T11:11:00.000-08:00

2008 is such a classy cover with one huge mistake standing right in the middle in a bathing suit. It's like someone took the Mona Lisa and spray painted it.

2008-02-05T11:05:00.000-08:00

But it just isn't cohesive. Compare that to the others and this one stands way out. And what's up with the "corner of the room" intersecting America Ferrara? Anyone?? It's bad art, bad composition and also appears to be racist. I've never read this so wouldn't know for sure but if looks could tell.....

2008-02-05T11:03:00.000-08:00

"3 Latinas, you've come a long way VF but then again I don't see any SISTAHS on the cover, hmmmm"

you don't see ANY? look again. at 1995, 1997, 1999, 2005, and this year's cover, 2008.

2008-02-05T10:56:00.000-08:00

I have to agree with the comments that VF didn't diversify the spread enough.
It's not as if there is a lack of gorgeous women of color in Hollywood.
Thandie Newton
Kerry Washington
Naomi Harris...

All three are more talented than Biel.

2008-02-05T10:50:00.000-08:00

LOL @ myself.
At first I thought that was Piven blowing on Knightly's ear. I was thinking I would kill myself if I woke up naked to the Perv.

I completely agree with the comments on Knightly and Biel. I detest Knightly almost as much as Paltrow.

2008-02-05T10:47:00.000-08:00

Gammagirl, I thought the same thing. Even though I haven't watched La Vie en Rose yet, I think she should have definitely been in the spread. Who makes these decisions anyway?

2008-02-05T10:45:00.000-08:00

@rebecca: Sweet Jesus that question is hard! I'd say neither and nominate Marion Cotillard.
Why isn't she in this spread in the first place?

2008-02-05T10:43:00.000-08:00

Question... out of curiousity.

Would you guys rather have Jessica Biel or Katherine Heigl on the cover of this issue?
