Carla Bruni
Vanity Fair
by Maureen Orth
8 August 2008
'Paris Match'.
Just months after his May 2007 election, French president Nicolas Sarkozy faced growing criticism over his stalled reforms, flashy style, and stormy divorce. The last straw should have been his whirlwind remarriage, to an Italian heiress, ex-model, and singer who had past liaisons with Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, among others, and nude photos all over the Internet. But the lady in question, Carla Bruni, is proving an unexpected asset. At the Élysée Palace, Maureen Orth encounters a pair of romantic predators who appear to have met their matches.

'Less Is Maier'
Bottega Veneta was hovering on the brink of bankruptcy when Tomas Maier took the helm as creative director. In six years he has pulled off a stunning $575 million turnaround at the venerable Italian luxury-goods firm, without sacrificing its no-logo, anti-bling aesthetic, his own eponymous label, or the Florida lifestyle he craved. In Milan and Palm Beach, the author discovers the interplay of passion and understatement, precision and freedom, that has made Maier a new kind of design star.

'A Woman in Full'. Angelina Jolie speaks openly in the July edition of Vanity Fair. Playing out her life on the big screen—whether the role is damaged girl, humanitarian, or wife of Brad Pitt—Angelina Jolie is more than an outstanding actress. She’s the ultimate avatar of fantasies (hers and ours), whose next movie, Wanted, taps into her pent-up need for action. As Jolie examines the effect of her own childhood on the unconventional family she and Pitt have created, Rich Cohen hears about the mother she lost last year, the father she’s estranged from, and why, in her second pregnancy, she feels so sexy. ....

'Miley Knows Best'.

The full interview will be published in the June edition of Vanity Fair, but you can read it here. "Between sold-out concerts, multi-platinum records, and a hit TV series, Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has some serious business riding on her 15-year-old shoulders—not to mention paparazzi on her tail and tabloid editors praying for her to pull a Britney. So how’d she get so (relatively) normal? Bruce Handy journeys to deepest Toluca Lake to find out...."
Madonna

by Rich Cohen

'Madonnarama!' Cover Story: As she nears 50, Madonna’s narrative is shifting. Yes, there’s another new super-pop album, Hard Candy, with Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams. But there’s also Filth and Wisdom, the feature film she’s co-written, produced, and directed, and I Am Because We Are, her documentary on Malawi, the aids-ravaged country where she controversially adopted her third child.
