Dear Vanity Fair,
Your cover of the 2010 Hollywood issue is quite striking. You have chosen several actresses that are interchangeable. They are all ghostly pale...whiter than a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snow storm, and appear to weigh no more than 100 pounds. The only diversity you have chosen is hair color.
What is so concerning about this issue is that this was not a last minute decision. We all know that a board-room full of people pored over these pictures for weeks before this went to press. Did not even one person notice that the pictures lacked diversity?
I've compiled a short list of young actresses omitted from the Hollywood issue, who also have fresh faces and bright futures:
* Zoe Saldana - Zoe is a drop dead gorgeous actress who has been overlooked for years. I KNOW you've heard of Avatar, Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean and Center Stage.
*Rashida Jones - Rashida is another gorgeous actress. Parks and Recreation, I Love You Man...need I say more? And this should make you happy...her mother is white!
* Gabourey Sidibe - Gabourey is a beautiful, curvy new actress. Her breakout performance in Precious was amazing soul-crushing, heart-breaking. I, along with millions of others, can't wait to see what else she has to offer.
* Raven Symone - Raven is another beautiful, curvy actress who serves as a role model to many American kids. She oozes positivity, and has been acting since she was a toddler.
It is 2010 Vanity Fair, we have a black President. Isn't it time you represent all of America?

Wow, I haven't seen the cover until now, but I agree with you...
I agree about Ms. Sidibe. I haven't seen Push (have only read the book), but from what I have seen and heard, she seems like a star that deserves a cover.
