Gwyneth Vs Graydon! Paltrow Bracing Herself For Vanity Fair 'Epic Takedown' Assassination Article
Anticipation is building for Vanity Fair's upcoming Gwyneth Paltrow "assassination article."

"Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine," Paltrow wrote in her email. "If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again."
"Some famous people believe that they live in a cone of celebrity that protects them," Carter told The Times of London. "But it doesn’t really exist anymore in LA unless they stay in.

"I mean, you can be a well-known movie star and go decades without getting an embarrassing picture in a magazine just by leading a quiet, normal life.
"We wouldn't be doing our job if there wasn't a little bit of tension between Vanity Fair and its subjects. In any given week, I can expect to hear from a disgruntled subject in Hollywood, Washington, or on Wall Street. That's the nature of the beast."
