Here are reasons to bypass Graydon Carter's dumbass Oscar party in West Hollywood on Sunday: sources are telling cityfile.com that Vanity Fair reserved an entire spa during Oscar week just so that advertisers could have access to free treatments. Snarks the blog: "Does it make sense for Si Newhouse to be paying for facials when Condé Nast is closing down magazines and laying off staff? Not really. Then again, it can't be any worse than Newhouse continuing to pour money into Portfolio." As for VF's Oscar party, Graydon may be hyping it as more "intimate" than in years past, but cityfile.com discovered that VF told the City of West Hollywood in an official "special event" permit that it's expecting a clusterfuck of 1,000 guests at the downscale Sunset Tower Hotel. What a nasty traffic nightmare awaits you.

Fuck Graydon Carter.
I think there was another item about deckchairs and the Titanic earlier today. This seems along the lines of that…they can have the spas, the parties, but eventually this party will end if they keep spending like this. And it’s a big fuck-you to their beleaguered staff.
Si Newhouse is a moron. Conde Nast is in a free fall and he still likes the cache of Hollwood & the glitter of show biz. Let’s face it, Portfolio is a flop and VF is one of a few profitable titles in the Conde Nast stable.
this is the part i love about the economic cleansing that we are undergoing – good-bye to vanities like vanity fair, vogue, time…all those corporate piggies are being pulled out by the tide…good-bye…
I’m one of those dreaded Drudge Report readers, so take this for what it’s worth. But, what happened to Vanity Fair? It used to be good for at least 2-3 stories. Their Hollywood issue *used* to always have a good yarn about old Hollywood. The Bernie Madoff story would have been perfect for the “old” Vanity Fair. Like I said, I’m a Drudge Report Republican, and even 3 years ago, I could overlook stupid Graydon’s tirade about Bush that appeared in.every.single.issue, but I think I gave up on them with the last Jennifer Aniston issue. Whenever that was.
I think if VF cost any more than it does, I’d end my subscription. Occasionally I get a good story out of it, and thank God Bush is out and will save us more Bush-carping. But can we PLEASE get another photog in their besides Annie?
