Stewart, Mulligan, Cover Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Issue
Vanity Fair has released the cover of their annual Hollywood issue and it features several actresses who are described as the “fresh faces” of the new decade. Too bad the majority of them have been around for years, but main stream media is just now catching on to them. Kristen Stewart and Evan Rachel Wood lead the pack of nine that headline the issue. Here’s the full photo…
There are several problems with the cover choices for this issue with the first one being the tagline. It states that these are the new faces of the decade, but will all of these ladies be around ten years from now with thriving careers? I remember a few years back when Lindsay Lohan was on the cover of the Young Hollywood issue and we all see how she turned out. Also, where are the actresses of color? Not just African American, but Latino, Asian, give me Native American or something. They usually stick someone in there to make a difference, but this time they didn’t even try.
And last but not least, how fresh faced are Evan Rachel Wood and Kristen Stewart supposed to be? Granted they’re young, but those girls have been around for a while, and the same could be said for Abbie Cornish and Rebecca Hall. They haven’t been front and center of any blockbusters but they’re not new to the game. I could have sworn that Amanda Seyfried and Stewart were already featured on one of these “special Hollywood issues” last year, yet they’re coming back for more?
This year’s layout is boring and unoriginal. Dig deeper Vanity Fair.
(L-R) Abbie Cornish (Bright Star, Guardians of Ga’Hoole), Kristen Stewart (Twilight, The Runaways), Carey Mulligan (An Education, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer’s Body, Dear John), Rebecca Hall (Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona, The Town), Mia Wasikowska (Defiance, Alice in Wonderland), Emma Stone (Zombieland, Easy A), Anna Kendrick (Twilight, Up in the Air), Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler, The Conspirator).
What do you think of Vanity Fair’s choices for their latest Hollywood issue?

Maybe it's b/c you're a film buff and have seen these girls rise to become the stars they are now but for most of America many of them have just come into main stream.
Almost all of them have been working for a while but most actors work several years before making it big. So i don't think you need to knock Kristen or ERW b/c they are featured now.

Sorry but I do not see Evan Rachel Wood at all not that she's a fresh face. The girl they say is evan looks nothing like her. And I would have like to see more newcomers

I don't see or hear anyone complaining that Ebony has no diversity. This is all ridiculous. These are up and coming actresses. Can anyone deny this? Vanity Fair has included all cultures many times on their cover. Stop complaining because on this cover they don't have more than one race represented. Many times they only have 1 person on the cover. When President and Mrs. Obama are on a cover, does anyone complain there isn't a white president represented…this is all too stupid, and frivolous. There are many more issues you should be expending your print and your time on. Use your brain.

Ebony was created for African Americans when main stream media REFUSED to show them in any of their publications. Secondly, Vanity Fair is supposed to be a major magazine that's marketed to all readers no matter race or creed, and this issue continues to come up because there are several young actresses who aren't Caucasian and aren't featured here. That's the real problem.
The question is why couldn't they be shown? So yeah, it's still an issue and not only because of color but because of the fact that several of these girls have appeared in this "special edition" years prior (Stewart, Seyfried) meaning they got lazy and those spots could have gone to someone else.

I am sick of people making race and color always an issue. There is a BLACK GRAMMY and BLACK magazine, like Ebony to name one, and black this and black that…if there was ever a WHITE magazine there would be someone screaming discrimination…..THE TRUTH IS THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD IN THIS COUNTRY. And that is the truth. I am not white, I am a minority as well, but I just see that a certain group of people just like to make stuff up and always make their color an issue when it should not. Putting the blame on everyone who is not the same race or color as them as persecuting them or for the atrocities done to their ancestors….MOVE ON….. will all of you please ……

[...] too fancy (all of the attention went to Carey Mulligan and Gabourey Sidibe). Cornish also made the controversial cover of Vanity Fair’s 2010 Hollywood Issue, so it’s safe to say that she’s going places. Good for her!What do you think of [...]
