Oh best-dressed lists. They’re so boring. I’d much rather flip through the pages of Star magazine and peruse their best and worst beach bodies selections. And the best part is they don’t just limit themselves to once a year. Nope, you get to see Donatella Versace in all of her Janice from the Muppet Band glory all summer long. But I guess this is OK too. Vanity Fair’s most recent Style issue features supermodel, Gisele Bundchen on the cover, and in loads of pictures throughout the mag, even though she and her Patriots quarterback boyfriend were nowhere to be seen on the magazine’s Best Dressed Couples List. I’m sure they’re both wiping their tears with million dollar bills. As for those Hollywood couples who did make the list, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Brangelina, and newly transplanted Beckhams were all lauded in the issue for their fashion sense. What? No Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil or Pete Doherty and Kate Moss? Or maybe VF’s saving those four for their Best-Dressed/Drug-Addled Couple. Pretty much, whoever manages not to get blood on their wife-beater on any given day, wins.

More of David and Victoria after the jump.

Vanity Fair has brought together the creative talents of Bono, Annie Liebovitz and Graydon Carter to to create a series of 20 covers for a special issue dedicated to sparking a discussion about the issues facing Africa and its people. Liebovitz describes the photo project as a “visual chain letter,” about Africa and is “spreading the message from person to person to person.” Now, y’all know I’m always down for some obnoxious observation here and there, but seeing the pairing of Maya Angelou with Chris Rock and supermodel legend, Iman, posing with Alicia Keys all in the name of raising awareness about Africa and its particular problems, is enough to make a snarky little brat like myself sit down and shut up.

Personally, I think my favorite might be George Clooney whispering into Jay-Z’s ear. I like to think he’s whispering sweet, humanitarian nothings.

The 16 other Vanity Fair covers featuring Condolezza Rice, George W. Bush, Desmond Tutu, Brad Pitt, Djimon Hounsou, Madonna, Maya Angelou, Chris Rock, Warren Buffett, Bill & Melinda Gates, Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Iman and Don Cheadle are after the jump.
