Looks like there's room enough for both of them to bust out of that big ol' gay box. #ellendegeneres

I like and admire Ellen. This photo however makes me ask how much longer she's going to pull off assuming the visual persona of a rumpled, towheaded 9 year old boy with a goofy grin. Look, she can't even tie her laces- how irrepressible and madcap!

Oh Ellen. Have a seat. Hitting 50 is nothing to fear. Oh so I've heard, I'm not that damned old. But I don't dress like a boy child, either.

Have you thought of some smart, tweedy Gertrude Stein togs as you move towards The Change? They'd look chic on you! How do you feel about cigars, alcohol, and bitter irony? Have you ever seen The Killing of Sister George? It's how I imagine your home life with Portia, but I digress..

@Airvault: Ah, do! Fantastic film.

Apparently they shot one climactic scene at an actual London gay bar. When the film came out in 1968, people were recognized, fired from their jobs, ostracized. Unbelievable. It's a really stellar drama though. #ellendegeneres

Inside there is another "cover" with them in front of a giant gingerbread house, and Ellen's head looks oddly photoshopped on. It's weird. #ellendegeneres

@Lulupasternak: She doesn't suck nearly as much as she used to, and last year she even came up with a good metaphor. Once.

For God's sake, VF. Stop with the dead Kennedys. There really are other things I'll read about.

I think VF inadvertently screwed itself. Next month may very well be a Dominique Dunn/Ted Kennedy double tribute cover! So that's three months of dead people, and no naked starlets. Well, Farrah was nude, but she was dead, so that takes away the salaciousness of it.

Seriously, VF. I know you love the Kennedys, but Ted dying would be at least somewhat more interesting than "Jackie was sad, whaddya know?" Not that they had Ted dying on their calendar, though. Just happened right before their new Jackie issue comes out.

I have thought far too much about this, and must now nap and feel ashamed.

I thought McInerney had it written into his contract that only Chip Kidd could do his covers... and this doesn't look like one of his to me.

Like everything else I once loved, seems that Vanity Fair is now groveling to people's most salacious and lowest "common" denominator-type behavior. That cover photo of Jackie is lousy, and an article written by "baby daddy" Levi is pandering at the very least.

Just seems so insulting that Vanity Fair would stoop so low as to give us "Levi" when so many other aspiring writers would "kill" to grace their pages. Must everything be dictated by the marketing manager's whims based on little blips on society's collective radar?

Used to be that VF was a great read and had some really interesting points and people within. Guess they too must be desperate for content, ad pages and newsstand purchaser's.
The loss of Dominick Dunne has surely dealt them a big blow.

You know how "things" were made with quality before the "Made In China" label started appearing on virtually everything? Well, looks like Vanity Fair has gone that route and crapped up their product in order to maybe get some extra sales by tapping in to people's morbid curiosity.

It's a cheap trick and I ain't fooled!!

@MelitaPolyhymnia: Interesting. But, Jesus, enough with the quotation marks already. They're not meant to provide emphasis. You're confusing me.

Levi TRIED to read the article but gave-up after the first non-monosyllabic word.

What he said:
"I tole that stupid bitch I ain't gonna wear no fucking condom so she just like rolled her eyes and said whatever, just do it."

VF redaction:
"Of course I wore a condom--what kind of idiot would intentionally impregnate the daughter of the governor of Alaska!?!"

I think it's time J-school graduates nationwide stage a flash primal scream. How's 4:00 EST today for the rest of you? Simply open the nearest window and screech for 15 to 30 seconds when the clock strikes the hour.

Then hit happy hour...early.
