Vanity Fair's "New Hollywood" issue completely lacks diversity

Basically they want the white model with brown skin.So as not to frighten the fragile white female readers lol who reads vanity fair ???women period! dont get me wrong i think these girls look the part that why they are there but really this publication is old and widely circulated so they have responsiblities to their readers to show many types of beauty otherwise it become boring

what if by chance they came up with 10 girls and they happen to be white....so what.....i don't get why it's bad.....do white people get up in arms when a beautiful black woman wins Miss America based on merit and talent? Do we have Miss White America beauty pagent..we do not....There is always a need for diversity yet it seems to only come up when white people are be praised...god for bid

Ok Melissa B.

This is soooo sad. Some of the things you say are true but for the wrong reason. First of all not only is Gaborney cast and currently working on a new feature, she has had to turn down and postpone productions as she is too busy. Zoe Saldana is a FABULOUS leading lady and should be concidered one of Hollywoods "up and comings" however, sadly, no matter HOW TALENTED she is, she will never get the same opportunities as the rest of these women because -get this.. even though we have a Black President, the US is still a RACIST SOCIETY. So I guess Vanity Fair was appropriate in not concidering non-white women in their story because there isn't much hope of them becoming anything in this white dominated society. Perhaps if they looked WHITER like Halle Berry there'd be more hope?? SHAMEFUL!

Does EVERYTHING have to be diverse? For goodness sakes..we have a black president and a new black Miss America..We don't have to balance everytime and on every cover...please

Whatever! Do we have to be that P.C. all time? Who gives a sh*t if there arent any black people on the cover! I sure dont!!!!!

seriously, shut up. why the hell do people feel the need to be outraged at every little thing. It's absolutely ridiculous. Society's f'ed up.

Are there any lesbians in the picture?? Which type??

okay so heres what i think. we see gorgeous ladies all the time...who r white. All the time on mags. Its very very slim if they use Latins, Asians, Blacks, and the list goes on and on. I mean if it was a group of black actress, that be a step or if it was a group of Asians, that be a bigger greater step. What im saying is we cant just keep putting the same thing.. nor can we limited to a certain group. stop with the just black or white or asians or Latinos magazine issue....lets put them together. there all types of lil girls out there and even teens..like me who see this and gets alil sad because those arent the only actresses coming up nor colors...and i love the way u say great because there only about 3 or 4 sooo yea, but beside that. They all are very pretty and stunning to be honest but the point is, this is 2010 lets show what the world is..and its not just one thing..i wish all mags would put all racist one there..from black to white to w.e ethnic group ....thats all im saying

good article...Amazing, the perception(s)we each have...far in between...I would have to agree with the article...Obviously FOUL...and I for One, do not see anything cute! and upcoming about being "pale, pasty and sickly-thin"...too likened to Vampires, oh! maybe the cover was Chosen like it was, because the Vamp trend is growing....who knew! I think I'll pass...besides, Life void of Color is, POINTLESS and Zombified (i.e like the "VAMPS"-oops!- "the supposedly up-and coming,New/OlD hollywood")on the Vanity Cover!

The power of a photo - I do not think that there is anything particularly wrong with the photos in the magazine, I do think that people automatically assume that as diversity grows in society so should images to display that but different magazines cater to target markets and that is nothing to chalk up to racism. In all fairness, if Vanity Fair is expected to have a group of girls with varying ethnicity in each photo so should every other magazine.

No women of color - no fat women - no three-legged women - just move on folks - there's nothing to see

Remember it is a country of white only get use to it, ontill 2050 when they will be the minoritys in this lovely country

Are you trying to say EBONY, JET, BLACK WOMAN, etc.,are wrong for being black only magazines, OR are you saying Vanity Fair was wrong for doing the SAME THING as these publications? I don't remember any BIG STINK directed at those magazines over the years. QUIT WHINING... you can get a job done correctly in the time that you take to whine ... and maybe do something for yourself instead of taking leftovers from real doers who DON"T WHINE.

Why does EVERYTHING have to be politically correct!! I'm sick of it. Maybe, just maybe, there weren't any minorities that they felt were talented enough to be on the cover. It IS possible. Do we have to have affirmative action in Hollywood? It hasn't panned out to be a very good "experiment" elsewhere.

Oh brother is everything about discrimination these days! Geez get over your whiny selfs!!!!! Not everything is about the color of someones skin!

Hey, howcum I never see ANY white people on the covers of Ebony, Jet, or O (or ANYONE besides egOprah)? Wattsupwiddat??????

Why does everything have to be race related?

Hmmm, let me see, I believe there is a magazine called "JET". Strike up the violins, I want to cry too. This person that wrote this article does not seem to have enough vision.

Good for them! How about we start screaming about racial profiling? I'm sick and tired of every little issue being racial. Sometimes it is what it is!!!

Im just wondering....can anyone name a 19-20something actress thats not white? Maybe before critisizing something try and find someone who could fit in here...I cant think of anyone? You?
