The write-around of the write-around

Graydon Carter has such a hard on right now, as Vanity Fair releases its most Vanity Fair-esque piece to date on the defrauded, jet-setting Raffaello Follieri. What makes the seven-page article so perfectly VF, with its mix of celebrity and scandal and a dash of eau de creep?

Hi Whitney,

I think you linked the wrong article.

Whew, I was wondering if those were photos of Rafaello.

I read some rumor today that she's with a new guy…. can't remember his name but he is sex on a stick if you like the pretty kind.

No. 4 Lily the Pink says:

I would never have thought Rafaello was the leather sort. On a seriously weird note, that guy looks just like my friend Justin. I had to look twice, and I'm considering asking Justin about his moonlighting activities.

No. 6 rumour has it says:

Whitney, are you playing a joke on us? Is this how you entertain yourself at the "office" to see if we actually do click on the links you and Cord post? And when we do, it's to some shirtless guy wearing (bondage?) leather and we're all like, "Whaaaaat?! This doesn't look like an article about Anne Hathaway and her crappy ex-boyfriend!" And then we read it just in case it mentions Anne because we trust you Whitney! But no, it's not about what you promised us it would be about. And then you're all like, "LOLing!" at us. Good one Whiteny, good one.

No. 7 Cass says:

I read the article in VF. I don't get your point? In it the writer says specifically that no one would care about Follieri if he wasn't with Hathaway. That's the point, they too only write about it because the whole point of the magazine is to cover hollywood celebrities. So what is your point? Because for now you don't make a relevant one.
