I wrote in the previous post about Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, who unceremoniously keeps refusing or "firing" stars from posing for Vogue (on the cover and in the articles).
Well, so far, here's the list, and I agree with all of her decisions:
- Pop star Rihanna lost her spot after nude photos of hers emerged on the internet (she is in fact banned from the Vogue cover).
- Victoria Beckham, wife of the English transport football player David Beckham who now plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team, has begged to be on American Vogue. Wintour won't cede, and Beckham has to resort to less prestigious international editions, including Turkish Vogue ! I don't blame Wintour. Who wants this anorexic woman, with no grace and who never smiles, to be on one's magazine?
- Wintour is clearly not politically correct. While everyone fawns over the newest affirmative action movie star, Gaborey Sidibe - who plays a black, single mother on welfare in the movie Precious, Wintour won't have her on her magazine saying that Sidibe's weight is an issue.
- Wintour refused Jennifer Lopez her Vogue cover saying that Lopez was too "low class."
There are surely more Vogue Cover Rejects as mandated by Wintour, but these ones seem right to me.
