Is Graydon Carter planning a huge photo shoot dedicated to Andy Warhol for an upcoming issue? Jossip hears that Vanity Fair flew many a member of the Warhol gang to New York, down to even the legend's once-in-awhile movie co-stars like Holly Woodlawn, so the mag could shoot a huge photo spread.
Perhaps they are planning to run the big family, film, art, and music reunion in February, which would mark the 20th anniversary of Warhol's death? Of course because Warhol was a contributor to the mag (while simultaneously putting together those now-famous window designs for Bergdorf Goodman) it would make sense they would put together a little homage to the man who was the 1960's NYC staple.
Could it be Warhol's close connection to VF contributor Ingrid Sischy, who happens to now be a top editor at Interview (the mag which was founded by Warhol himself) that turned the story into the full-blown Suri-esque style shoot we've been told about? Warhol also had a relationship with celeb-stalking features editor Jane Sarkin, who also spent four years with Warhol at Interview before joining the almighty Conde Mag which. Well, whatever it is, Vanity Fair has more than good reason to put together a Warhol issue. And we expect there will be a really freakin' good bash to boot.
Beth Kseniak, executive director of public relations for Vanity Fair told Jossip that the magazine doesn't comment on future issues, blah, blah … so, of course, it's an open invitation for any of you to send in the goods.
And since we were born like 5 minutes before Andy Warhol died, there is a good chance we might lacking information on the history of this whole Warhol/Vanity Fair connection … so please feel free to send that chatter, too. Especially if it involves a Jane Sarkin/Ingrid Sishey/Edie Sedgwick cat fight.

Invitations to a screening of The Devil Wears Prada are rumored to have gone out to the executive and editorial assistants of top magazine EIC's. The invites were addressed to "Asst. to Graydon Carter," "Asst. to Ingrid Sischy," so on and so forth.
The stunt, which was pulled together by a PR team at Harrison & Shriftman's, was intended to douse the "finest high powered assistants in town," in Corzo tequila and cover them in Sephora make-up. Sounds fun. But, uh, you'd think that if they were making such a big deal out of this "you're an important person" crap, they would have at least addressed the invitations by name, instead of " to Brandon Holley's bitch."
Like, it took us three minutes to find out the names of Catherine Strawn (Ass't to Brandon Holley), Jon Kelly, Leigh Herzig (Ass'ts to Graydon Carter), Karen Wilson (Ass't to Ingred Sischy), and Wendy Hanson (Ass't to Charla Lawhorn).
Now we know why we've never fucking heard of Corzo tequila.
