Vanity Fair's Funny Women Are Geeky Women

GeekSugar — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 08:00:07 PDT

This month's Vanity Fair features a rad cover story on modern comediennes like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, and Kristin Wiig. The photo shoot, snapped by legend Annie Leibovitz, has a few concepts: Greek goddesses, Hollywood trainwrecks, and jet-setting hot chicks. What I really appreciated was the prolific use of gadgets as props - iPhones, Blackberries, and MacBook Pros abound!

I love the big wink to these multifaceted and talented ladies - of course they'd be carrying the hottest and latest tech tools (and look amazing doing it)! See if you can spot all the geeky props when you

Jennifer, Jessica and Gisele Get Into (A Disney) Character

PopSugar — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:30:55 PST

The fabulous Annie Leibovitz has teamed up with Disney again to shoot the "Year of a Million Dreams" gift promotion ad campaign. In 2007 it was Becks, Beyonce, and Scarlett, and this year Annie's gathered a new group of famous faces to recreate scenes from Disney movies. Gisele joins Mikhail Baryshnikov and Tina Fey (as Tinkerbell - brilliant!) in a scene from Peter Pan, while Jessica Biel takes on the role of Pocahontas (perfectly cast as well). J Lo and Marc are on Aladdin's magic carpet, while Whoopi Goldberg's a Genie in a Bottle. We're used to seeing our favorite celebrities in different roles, but it's always fun to see them reinterpret the classics.

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 07:00:22 PDT

Although the campaign for Nina Ricci's Fall 2007 collection looks straight out of fantasy land, Annie Leibowitz photographed everything on her property in Rhinebeck, NY. Model Anabela Belikova appears like a wood nymph among the greenery, draped in one of Olivier Theysken's feathery confections. The ambience is ethereal, romantic, and everything that embodies the magical mood of the collection. Are you digging these ads as much as I am?

The Hollywood Issue is Back and it's Darker Than Ever

PopSugar — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 10:21:06 PST

When it comes to photographing stars, you can't get any bigger than Annie Leibovitz. It's no surprise, then, that when Vanity Fair decided to do a film noir themed shoot for their annual Hollywood Issue, Annie was once again in charge. The result is VF's biggest issue ever, appropriately called Killers Kill, Dead Men Die. The amazing portfolio is just packed with celebs like Jessica Alba and Biel, Penelope Cruz, Robert DeNiro, Bruce Willis, and Kate Winslet - just to name a small few. If you can't wait for the issue check out a video showcasing some of the shots, or a cool slideshow of behind-the-scenes pics including Ben Affleck with his trusty Starbucks and Kirsten Dunst getting ready for the shot. The Hollywood issue is always one of our favorites so we look forward to tearing our issue apart this weekend.

David Beckham Makes a Charming Prince

PopSugar — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 14:05:53 PST

Photographer to the stars Annie Leibovitz has been recruited to photograph some huge celebs for Disney World's Year of a Million Dreams campaign. So far she's turned Scarlett Johansson into Cinderella (with the help of a Harry Winston $325,000 tiara), Beyonce into Alice in Wonderland, and David Beckham into a prince (wait, he wasn't one already?). Guess which one is our favorite so far? Here's more:

Leibovitz, who will soon dress another set of celebrities as Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Little Mermaid Ariel, approached British soccer superstar (and new American import) David Beckham, with the concept of playing Sleeping Beauty's Prince. She asked the 31-year-old whether "prince" was an image he would feel comfortable portraying. Not surprisingly, Beckham was game, and the image was photographed near a lake outside Madrid, where he had been playing soccer for the team Real Madrid. The castle superimposed in the background is from Disneyland Paris.

"I'm the prince, and I'm sort of slaying a dragon, which is something I've never done before, obviously," Beckham says in the Disney press materials. "When I was called about it and asked to do it, I was very honored and really looking forward to it, especially with Annie doing the pictures."

Annie sure works wonders with that camera of hers. To check out the amazing photographs of Scarlett, Beyonce, Lyle Lovett and Oliver Platt just

Kirsten Can't Sell Vogue

PopSugar — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 16:28:43 PST

Kirsten may be one of the highest paid actresses, making anywhere between $8-$10 million a picture, but that doesn't mean she sells well on the newsstand. Anna Wintour was evidently not happy with Kirsten's Marie Antoinette shots for the September Vogue and demanded it be re-done. It caused a little tiff between the editor and Dunst's publicist. Here's more:

Sources say megapublicist Stephen Huvane was badmouthing Wintour to "anyone who would listen" earlier this fall after wrestling with her over the September issue's portfolio of Kirsten Dunst. Wintour was dissatisfied with the initial images from the Annie Leibovitz shoot, which took place at Versailles and featured elaborate costumes from Marie Antoinette, and demanded it be redone-prompting Huvane to wonder aloud to several friends whether Wintour hasn't amassed too much clout.

In the end, he may have had a point: the cover was a flop on newsstands, selling far fewer copies than the September 2005 issue with Sarah Jessica Parker. "There was some back and forth, but we worked with [Huvane] and worked it out," says a Vogue spokesman. Huvane declined to comment. As for the September issue's low sales numbers, the Vogue rep says, "We knew going in that it wasn't going to be a commercial cover, but we were very pleased with it."

No Vogue rep would be happy with an issue that didn't sell well on newsstands - especially the coveted September issue which is huge in the fashion world. It doesn't look like it's hurting Kirsten's career at all if she's still one of the top paid actresses. For more pics just

Matt Damon, George Clooney, and Daniel Craig Pose For One Hot Vanity Fair Cover

Allie Merriam — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:24:38 PST

The good-looking trio of Matt Damon, George Clooney, and Daniel Craig got together to shoot the amazing February 2012 cover of Vanity Fair. The guys looked hot and rugged as they struck a pose for Annie Leibovitz, and inside the magazine, each showed their characteristic humor by filling out VF's "Proust Questionnaire." Matt was earnest and spoke about how his role models are his parents. The We Bought a Zoo star also said he's happiest when hanging out with his four kids and that his marriage is his greatest achievement! The Descendants actor George, meanwhile, was a bit sillier when he admitted that he'd like to come back in his next life as his dog, since the pup "lives better." Daniel, whose amazing physique is on display in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, admitted his least favorite body part is his knees. The issue will be on newsstands in the US on Jan. 10.
