Ok, so you know how normally there is tons of bru-ha-ha over the Vanity Fair cover? Which celeb is going to be on it? Which media story or scandal will they break? Who's on drugs, getting molested, puking, naked, or (if we're lucky) all of the above?
April Fool's Day totally went over our heads this month — and do you know why? No, not because we're oblivious navel gazing morons. Because we hadn't seen May's Vanity Fair splashed all over the place like Angelina Jolie's prego belly tattoo.
We were just blindly scouring the internet for something to care about, and bam, there was May's cover in all its "Green Issue" glory. The not so much talked about Leonardo DiCaprio cover? Nope. Total over exposure of George Clooney? Absolutely.
The May cover features a quartet of eco–power players, capturing Hollywood glamour and activist passion: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Al Gore, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney, photographed by Annie Leibovitz. Articles inside address the pressing environmental issues of the day: Mark Hertsgaard reports on the reality of global warming; Michael Shnayerson writes on the Appalachian mountaintop-mining crisis; and a Green Guide offers up 50 simple things you can do in your daily life to help save the planet.
Snooze! We don't know … maybe we were just staring at our belly-buttons for so long (they really are so pretty) that we completely missed any coverage that may have taken place. But we have a pretty solid feeling this might make the "lowest selling issue of the year" list.
Unless, y'know, they put Hilary Duff on the cover in June or something.
