Mags Get Burned While Graydon Fiddles

Here are reasons to bypass Graydon Carter’s dumbass Oscar party in West Hollywood on Sunday: sources are telling cityfile.com that Vanity Fair reserved an entire spa during Oscar week just so that advertisers could have access to free treatments. Snarks the blog: “Does it make sense for Si Newhouse to be paying for facials when Condé Nast is closing down magazines and laying off staff? Not really. Then again, it can’t be any worse than Newhouse continuing to pour money into Portfolio.” As for VF‘s Oscar party, Graydon may be hyping it as more “intimate” than in years past, but cityfile.com discovered that VF told the City of West Hollywood in an official “special event” permit that it’s expecting a clusterfuck of 1,000 guests at the downscale Sunset Tower Hotel. What a nasty traffic nightmare awaits you.
