In the magazines

Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue out Tuesday has more than Scarlett and Keira nude on the cover (though that's a pretty decent jump-start on newsstand sales.) There's a Vicki Ward piece on the Getty scandals, James Verini on "the creepy world of My Space.com," and Ingrid Sischy to help us see Los Angeles through David Hockney's eyes. The Hollywood pieces include Peter Biskind telling tales from the making of Reds several decades back...In The New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell uses the LAPD's problems ridding itself of bad cops who cause most complaints to make the case for how hard homelessness is to solve...And catching up, Caitlin Flanagan devotes many thousands of words of a book review in The Atlantic's January-February issue to her upset about teenage oral sex, while Esquire has chats with Uma Thurman and William Shatner.
