Vanity Fair To Shower Toronto With Celebrity Glitz

From a nude and pregnant Demi Moore to Tom Ford cozying up next to Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley (also nude, naturally), Vanity Fair is well-known for reflecting what's hot—and, apparently, clothes-free—in pop culture since the early 20th Century. In our celebrity-centric culture, Vanity Fair is bar none when it comes to showcasing the mythological glitz of Hollywood life, consistently attracting the curiosity of readers with photo spreads that are sometimes sexy, but always elegant.
With such a storied past, a retrospective seems like a natural way to commemorate 95 years of the magazine's glamorous perspective. Labeled a "smash" after its European tour (because Annie Leibovitz is the Bono of photographers), Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008 is a collection of iconic images from the magazine's history. The exhibit will make a stop at Toronto's Institute for Contemporary Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum from September 26th of this year through January 3, 2010, the first North American destination. Amelia Earheart, Charlie Chaplin, and Madonna are just some of the marquee names—and images—being used to draw crowds in Canada's capital city.

Oscars Travel: "Vanity Fair" Cancels Its Keg Order
While rumors of the ending of the WGA strike seem to be running rampant, at least one star seeker is not optimistic: After promising that the party would continue, "Vanity Fair" magazine officially canceled its flash post-Oscar bash. A statement offered support for the writers, who as of now do not have waivers to write for the Jon Stewart-hosted awards ceremony, and said that having a party at this time would not be appropriate.
Now we'll have to take our couture gowns back for real. Hey, there's always George Clooney's house--Angelina Jolie said at Newsweek's Oscars roundtable that the party would be there. We'll bring some popcorn, but we can't promise that we'll be rooting for "Michael Clayton."
