Race Matters… Vanity Fair Tucks Away Their Tokens In Yet Another Hollywood Issue Epic Fail!

What is wrong with this picture? When are the wanksters at Vanity Fair going to learn??? Yeah yeah, we noticed that “at least” you included some black folks this year, but we’re not stupid. That cover folds up, tucking our black beauties Paula Patton and Adepero Oduye (who won raves from critics for her role in the indie film “Pariah”) out of sight and out of mind.

We still haven’t gotten over the sting of 2010, when blacks were shut out completely. The magazine was ripped apart when that happened, and last year they tried to rectify the situation by putting Anthony Mackie and Rashida Jones on the cover. But they two were tucked away, marginalized between the inside margins.

Zoe Saldana and America Ferrara were run off their front cover in 2008

In 2005 they discriminated against multiple races by sending Kerry Washington, Ziyi Zhang and Rosario Dawson on the inside cover.

Who would be dumb enough to hide Salma Hayek’s puppies? Vanity Fair, that’s who. The magazine banished the Latina beauty and Lucy Liu to the dreaded right corner of the cover in 2004.

Rosario also got the right side cover treatment back in 2002.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Jennifer Lopez might sell covers now, but apparently Vanity Fair didn’t think they could back in 1997.

And apparently Will Smith wasn’t quite in Leonardo DiCaprio’s league in 1996.

Angela Bassett held it down for the inside cover in 1995.

And here’s the evidence that Vanity Fair is fully capable of putting a black Hollywood actor on their cover. We may as well applaud them for the few times they did the right thing. Djimon Hounsou made the cut in 1998.

Thandie Newton won the honor in 1999

And Chris Rock rocked it out in 2007.

Still… We’re waiting for the day when VF will choose more than two people of color for their Hollywood issue AND show them prominently displayed. Actually scratch the WAITING part. We’re demanding it.

Gabrielle Union Covers Ocean Drive Magazine, Speaks About Her Career, Starting A Family, And Her Life With D-Wade

Gabrielle Union is on the cover of Ocean Drive magazine where she discusses an assortment of topics such as living with her boo Dwyane Wade to starting a family..
On keeping her house in California
“[It has been] great because I have my own career and life elsewhere, I have a home I paid for with my own money, and I need to be able to nurture that as well.”
On life with Dwyane Wade in Miami

“D and I have a life together, too. I love my life in Miami, I can’t imagine functioning without both, I love the design district, I love Midtown, I love what’s happening downtown now. I can be at People’s Bar-B-Que or Sustain or Prime One Twelve, and I’m comfortable. It’s rare for me to feel that level of freedom. Miami represents joy for me.”
On getting sick when she’s away from Miami:

“A week away is pretty much it for me. When I land in Miami, I feel like I’ve been holding my breath and am finally exhaling. I can breathe. I feel accepted, welcomed. I feel like I can be my true self, the woman I always aspired to be… More in Miami than any other place.”

On seeing a more diversely cast group of lead actresses:“It’s great for the other groups that are getting a chance to play more roles, and ideally, I’d like to think there were enough roles for everyone. But we are trying to get [filmmakers and producers] to consider that the doctor, a lawyer, even the lead could be an African-American woman.”
