VLife coverThis is the month that Variety's glossy VLife hits newsstands and begins to find out if there's any (v)life separate from the trade's subscriber list. Halle Berry decorates the cover ("On Nudity, Loyalty and 'X-Men 3'") and holds up her end of the deal inside. There are stories on the real estate bubble, on Hollywood mansions going modern and the architects of the moment, and on speculation about what might go in the I.M. Pei-designed space on Wilshire when CAA moves west. David Rensin proposes an Oakwood Apartments for Hollywood wannabes. Architect Ming Fung suggests it would make a fine home for the Foundation for Cosmetic Surgery. Meanwhile, Women's Wear Daily's Jeff Bercovici ponders the future of VLife with editor Tom Tapp.
