We’ve got to hand it to Vanity Fair: They’ve got serious chram. The magazine scrapped its original plan to put Borat on their December cover, instead opting for a near-nude photo of Brad Pitt standing in an alley wearing boxer shorts, parading the picture on the cover of their Art Issue. (We would categorize it as “God’s Fantastic Glory Issue”, but let’s continue.) Turns out the photo was a still taken from a short video directed by portrait artist Robert Wilson, a photo Pitt never authorized for Vanity Fair‘s usage. While we add Graydon Carter to our Christmas list as a thank you, you can actually see the entire short video here in high definition. It’s borderline Brokeback 2, but we’ll deal with that.
