Plus-Sized Beauties to Grace Covers at V Magazine

Readers might recall my blog entry from September, where I took issue with Lady Gaga in blackface. Gaga was on the cover of V Magazine, "Gaga Over Gaga." Well, maybe the editors are changing their tune a little, going for some political correctness in the January issue. From the New York Post, "Heavy Changes for V Covers":

V magazine is trying to make a big splash. The fashion glossy is moving away from skinny recent cover girls like Natalie Portman and Aussie model Miranda Kerr and switching to plus-size models in its January issue. "Big, little, pint-size, plus-size -- every body is beautiful. And this issue is out to prove it," editor-in-chief Stephen Gan says. Among the beauties V shot is "Hungry" memoirist and plus-size model Crystal Renn. We hear other shoots will range from fully dressed to nude and be done by Terry Richardson, Bruce Weber and Karl Lagerfeld.

The Natalie Portman piece is here, "Natalie or Nothing." Let's hope some of the skinnier actresses still grace the pages of the V.
