The PEN15 Club got it wrong. Earlier, we believed reports that Rachel McAdams participated in the Vanity Fair Hollywood issue’s cover shoot, even after freaking out and firing her publicist after learning that it was to be nude.
Now, we’ve seen the cover photo, and it’s not McAdams’ nubile body posed between Scarlett Johansson’s luscious backside and Keira Knightley’s protruding rib cage. It’s - ewww - the issue’s guest editor, horrible, creepy, over-tanned fashion designer Tom Ford. Ford is, of course, fully dressed, save for some seductively bare man-cleavage. And - double ewwwww! - he’s nuzzling poor Keira’s neck, or smelling her hair, or biting her ear, or something.
As if starring in five successful movies in two years hadn’t been enough, this creepshow proves once again that McAdams is the smartest young actress in Hollywood. This cover is the grossest thing we’ve seen since that Demi Moore nude-but-for-paint-by-numbers fiasco of the early ’90s.
Look how pale those girls are! Look how they airbrushed away Keira’s nipple! And what’s with the way Scarlett is positioned? Is she presenting for Graydon Carter? Or just pantomiming the severe ass-fucking that her career could take once this hits newsstands?

How can you even tell that that’s Scarlett? All I see is 200 lbs. of makeup.
After seeing this on the news stand , Johannson probably wishes she’d done a Brandon Lee and had Jonathan Rhys Myers blast her in the face with real 12 guage in Match Point! Gross beyond words…
You know, I really used to like Scarlett Johannson, back when you could escape seeing her for more than five minutes at a time. Every second I look at this picture, the less special “Ghost World” becomes in my memory.
Oh well, I still stand by “Eight Legged Freaks.”
it’s not a flattering picture of scarlett.
Maybe she was given a choice between “pale and corpsey” or “nibbled by Tom Ford,” and she headed straight for the embalmer’s trailer.
