Vanity Fair Signs Tyler Brûlé?

Brulet Is there anything to the rumor that Graydon Carter has signed Monocle Editor In Chief Tyler Brûlé, the shopping and design fetishist, as a Vanity Fair columnist? Brûlé's freelance gigs have taken him from the New York Times to the Financial Times to, most recently, the International Herald Tribune, but his last "weekly" column there appears to have run Feb. 1.

So, factoring in the circumflex and the acute accents, I believe his last name is pronounced: "insufferable?"

Oh, Josanna I hate this guy. Sorry Wallpaper fans. I spent enough time in the 90s with being told to buy $1800 weed-pullers by naked models in between six-page articles on the upholstery details of Swissair business class and the "kooky, campy" architecture of Pyongyang.

Love him and always will. But he is very, very insufferable. I think that's part of hís chârm.

One of his FT columns, I swear to god, was about how he wanted to buy this one military hydrofoil because it was so precious. From some Scandinavian country, of course.

My mom loves Brûlé's CDs and loved his Starbucks commercial.

@Ryan Tate:
"The Mirage F-1 fighter may be out of date, compared to the muscular, assertive F-14 Tomcat or the sleek, minimalist F-22 Raptor, but Dassaut's classic jet still has a certain Gallic-chic timelessness - the Catherine Deneuve of assault aircraft."

@ambitious: We'll if he's insufferable at VF I'm sure no one will notice. Seriously though, they could use some new blood.

Maybe Graydon will make him revert to the Polo obsessive he was when he lived in glamourous Ottawa?

@Conbon: You know it. Plus he's decided to name himself (I can't think it's a family name, in the era of Top Chef) after a dessert.

Why all the fussh? Hasn't Graydon just hired him to be another busboy at the joint?

Can I take a blowtorch to him? Or at least a salamander?
