Can they do that on a regular issue magazine?

I have nothing but positive things to say about this post.

Scarlett's butt isn't shown on the newsstand. It's beyond the fold of the page.

Apparently Rachel McAdams was supposed to be on the cover as well.

We hear flesh-obsessed designer Tom Ford’s gig as guest editor of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Issue recently hit a kink. Sources close to the glossy say demure rising starlet Rachel McAdams stormed out of a November cover shoot for the annual industry mash note—and fired her publicist—after learning Ford expected her to pose nude.

According to mag insiders, Ford had prearranged with McAdam’s rep, Wolf Kasteller’s Ame Van Iden, for the in-demand Red Eye actress to appear naked in a group portrait of Hollywood’s breathtaking beauties-of-the-moment, alongside Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, and others. (We presume the shoot was conceived along the tasteful lines of Herb Ritts’ iconic 1989 supermodel ensemble, “Stephanie Cindy Christy Tatjana Naomi”, but considering Ford’s involvement it’s possible to imagine a raunchier scenario.)

Unfortunately for legions of mouth-breathing McAdams fans, we’re told Van Iden neglected to brief her family-friendly charge—who may have been the only actress in Wedding Crashers to keep all her clothes on—about the concept beforehand. When she arrived on the L.A. set and found out what Ford had in mind, we’re told she turned tail and promptly fired Van Iden.

“Every magazine wants her on their cover and thinks she’s gonna be huge, so she can get away with being picky,” says a Condé Nast insider. “But everyone’s really impressed that she stood up for herself. It’s kind of amazing, actually.”

While the 29-year-old actress’s chaste retreat suggests she has a tad more dignity than the average Hollywood climber, it’s odd she was so blindsided by Ford’s request. After all, the former Gucci designer has previously told reporters the “entire issue would be naked,” and his recent work has certainly showcased his fondness for letting it all hang out—he posed au naturel for a 22-page spread in last month’s W, his new line of cosmetics for Estee Lauder is called Amber Nude, his ad campaign for the fragrance Youth Dew features a naked Carolyn Murphy, and an advertisement he produced for a new line of sunglasses reportedly features porn stars whom he says were paid “to have sex on set.”

Neither Ford nor VF spokeswoman Beth Kseniak returned calls about the incident. McAdam’s manager, Shelley Browning, confirmed that McAdams “presently does not have a publicist,” but referred questions about the cover shoot to the magazine. Van Iden herself did not return calls.

Kiera Knightley is outstanding -- until she opens her mouth and starts talking.

She makes Brittney Spears look like a MENSA candidate.

This Tom Ford guy has a strange obsession with buttcrack

Former Gucci and Yves St. Laurent designer Tom Ford reportedly fought with Vanity Fair editors over Angelina Jolie's naked rear-end - after persuading Brad Pitt's girlfriend to disrobe for an Annie Liebovitz Hollywood stars layout.

Ford reportedly accepted the role of guest artistic director for the upcoming issue and reportedly began encouraging/soliciting his famous friends to strip for the photo shoot.

"A lot of women actually, a couple of men, too, wanted to take their clothes off. These are such beautiful people, beautiful women, and who doesn't want to see a bit of them."

However, Ford was upset when he realized the editors were trying to cover up Angelina Jolie's naked buttocks.

He reveals, "The picture kept getting cropped and I finally had to stick a Post-It on it in the planning room: 'Do not touch, leave Angelina's buttcrack.'"

I don't know about you 'butt' [pun intended] I'm sure glad Tom had the balls to demand what's right. Angelina Jolie has one of the finest dumpers on the planet and I thank God for good men like Tom Ford who are looking out for us all. Brad Pitt is one lucky man.

So do all women's fashion designers lately.
