Men's Vogue Is Obsessed With You People
And by 'you people' we mean 'news people'

Walking past the newsstand, we're sure to check in on Men's Vogue each month just to see which masculine metrosexual fella they wrangled into a suit and promised not to make him come off too dandy. (This month, it's Eli Manning.The anti-dandy thing didn't work: "Manning favors conservative Zegna suits for big events — receptions on the White House lawn, ring ceremonies at Tiffany — and prep-school casual at home. On the afternoon he invited me over to his Hoboken apartment, he wore pressed jeans, a crisp tattersall button-down, and brown suede loafers with no socks.")

Which is how we spotted CBS News correspondent and tabloid boldfacer Lara Logan peering back at us from the inside pages. Normally, Logan's empowering tale of returning to the U.S. from a war zone would be an excellent Vogue (proper) story: No more Kevlar, hello pencil skirts! But it's Logan's relationship with a married man, and a CNN star, that make her more appealing to the readers of Men's Vogue, where she is a fantasy: Hot and doesn't mind being around guns.

Except this photo of Logan? Yeah, it seems eerily familiar.

As it should — because they ran the same set up of ABC News' David Muir earlier this year.

And that's not even the beginning of Men's Vogue's obsession with the news media. In 2007, as the book moved from "getting its footing" to "solid ground," it chose the news man Brian Williams for its cover.

But unlike the questions these news types ask their interview subjects, Men's Vogue's Qs were, shall we say, less than prying.

Here's David Knowles "asking" about Logan's love life:

That would also seem to hold true for her love life, which exploded onto tabloid pages this summer with the revelation of her affair with a married U.S. contractor (the father-to-be of her child). Though both were separated from their spouses, Logan was tagged with home-wrecker allegations.

"Can't talk about him," she says, waving her hands when I raise the issue. "Lots of reasons, not the least of which is my poor ex-husband, who's been through enough."

Well that's enough to satisfy us!

YECH, all around. Really, who cares about these particular people and what they're wearing, and who on earth reads "Men's Vogue?" Certainly not real men.
