When we heard that ex- Vanity Fair writer Toby Young's How to Lose Friends and Alienate People was going to be made into the next "life inside Conde" film, we were overjoyed. And today we find out that Simon Pegg of Shaun of the Dead will play Toby Young's character. But an actor to play "Clayton Harding," (the Graydon Carter based editor in chief of the VF based Sharps) has yet to be found.
Who we thought would be the perfect Graydon Carter? We' finally narrowed it down to the following five options. Richard Dreyfuss (who's balding, but could get some patches of grey pasted to the sides of his head), Jeff Bridges (he has the tanned face and wrinkly smile), Steve Carell (he can play anybody) or the random doppelganger Ray Winstone, (Grayon Carter is a pretty Sexy Beast.) Then there's Meryl Streep — who is such a ballsy actress, she could totz play a dude.
So, you decide. Who would be the best leader of the friendless and alienating publication? Get your votes in! We'll run the results tomorrow, and hopefully the studios will listen to the people.

Would it be in bad taste to say Spalding Gray?
