Tom Ford Unlocks That Raw, Sexy Weinstein Cool
Earlier today at The Carpetbagger, my rehabilitated ally David Carr noted a truly remarkable makeover among this month's garish Vanity Fair close-ups:
Harvey (Weinstein) was flanked by a very debonair businessman, a handsome guy whose face was writ with intelligence, a kind of executive warmth, and quiet resolve. The Bagger stared and stared at the picture and then finally looked at the caption. The guy in the jillion dollar suit next to Harvey was … his brother Bob. The Bagger does not know Bob well, but he has been in a few meetings with him. And Bob, surely a man who knows his way around his business and genre films in particular, is no threat to serve as the rack for the next fashion shoot in Esquire. Man, the Bagger knows Vanity Fair makes people look better than they are in real life and all, but the other brother looked amazing.
Well, David, this is "Tom Ford's Hollywood," where Scarlett Johansson lays around naked, Dakota Fanning wears Chanel and even Bob Weinstein has access to a comb. God knows this is a more flattering representation than last month's New York Magazine spread--you know, the one the photographer sabotaged by yelling, "OK, guys, on three! Goofy shot! Goofy shot!" And then deleting the rest of the pictures:

Do not get any ideas, though, Hollywood. Harvey and Bob just moved into the joint on Hudson Street, and the lease runs until at least Scary Movie 7. You can keep the suits--the brothers belong to us.
