Levi Johnston: Palin Wanted to Adopt Baby and Keep It Secret
In October's Vanity Fair, Levi Johnston says Sarah Palin asked to adopt his and Bristol's baby and keep it as her own. According to Levi:
"Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret — nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant. She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him.
Art Film: MoMA Interprets Sculpture in 90 Seconds
In the Museum of Modern Art's new initiative to promote filmmaking (and the museum), a rising filmmaker was commissioned to direct a short film. Azazel Jacobs's I See shows an actor listening to an audio guide while taking in a sculpture. The guide narrates his interpretation with flashbacks from his past — if only all audio guides were so disturbing and uplifting.
No Need For Green? Vanity Fair Skips Environmental Issue
Vanity Fair won't be printing its annual green issue this year, reasoning that environmental concerns are already ingrained in everyday news reporting. Condé Nast says the magazine will spread its coverage of the environment over the entire year. The company also admits that it wants to focus its attention on the economic crisis.
McCain Gets the Old Satire Treatment, Which Cover Is Worse?
Vanity Fair has an editorial response to the now infamous New Yorker Obama-as-terrorist cover. The essential message: John McCain is old, and Cindy likes prescription drugs (where's the reference to her cash?!).
It all may be tongue-and-cheek, but the McCain-VF stereotypes differ from the Obama stereotypes.
Christopher Hitchens Is Waterboarded, Lives to Call It Torture
The August issue of Vanity Fair is set to clear up an important question once and for all: is waterboarding torture? No scientists or military experts were needed for this: just a self-proclaimed "wheezing, paunchy" 59-year-old scribbler. Christopher Hitchens, VF columnist and controversial panelist extraordinaire, who's written previously on the difference between "extreme interrogation" and "outright torture," submitted himself to the technique to make the call.
VF Plots Blogs on the Spectrum — Opinionated or Earnest?
In a stellar hybrid of New York magazine's Approval Matrix and the fascinating Political Compass, this week's fun tidbit from Vanity Fair shows the big blogs on a spectrum from news to opinion and scurrilous to earnest. Who doesn't want to see where Politico stacks up against Radar, and Michelle Malkin against FireDogLake?
With rollover pics popping up fairly pointed descriptions of the blogs, it does fairly point out that the Huffington Post is shamelessly pro-Obama and that Drudge has an unfailing reach with his Republican-friendly headlines and ugly step-sister graphics.
On the Newsstand: Is This Man JFK's Son?
This month's Vanity Fair has an outrageously mysterious profile/psychological study wrapped in a tale of investigative journalism called "A Claim to Camelot." A man named Jack Worthington claims his mother had an affair with JFK and he's his son. If anything JFK-conspiracy based floats your boat, check out this piece immediately.

On the Newsstand: Judging Bush Books in Vanity Fair
In the latest Vanity Fair, James Wolcott takes an inventory of Bush books and wonders if anyone can really answer the question: Who is George W. Bush? From Evangelical Bush, to Frat-Boy Bush, to Weepy Bush, the depictions of him are as diverse as the books themselves.
