Some bad publicity for Vanity Fair. In Hollywood image is everything, and being able to control your image is key, at least in the world of celebrity. The new Vanity Fair featuring Mr. Jolie AKA Brad Pitt on the cover is causing a stir in Pitt land. Pitt, according to his publicist, might be taking legal action against the magazine for using his image on the cover without his authorization.
The first ever Art Issue from Vanity Fair featuring a soaked Brad Pitt wearing only boxers and socks is a still shot taken from a video portrait he made with artist avant-garde director and designer Robert Wilson last year. Pitt claims that he never gave the okay for any portion of it to appear in print. The magazine on the other hand says that Pitt knew about it. Click here to see the video.
According to E! News, Pitt’s publicist said, "We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives."
Could Pitt be alluding that Vanity Fair is trying to boost their sales with his picture on the cover? Or is Pitt just trying to control his image of Mr. Humanitarian of the universe and not just muscles and a pretty face?
