Recently, here, we showed you the entire Parade magazine article on Marilyn Monroe, dated July 27th. This cover story of the great star carried my byline and drew thousands of readers to that magazine. Parade allowed us to reprint the entire Monroe story  and you can see it in the wOw archives by clicking here.

Now we’re showing you another wOw “excloosive” — as Louella Parsons used to say — something you won’t see anywhere else until later this week.

We present Vanity Fair’s cover for October which is the special collector’s 25th anniversary issue — a quarter century since S.I. Newhouse relaunched the fabled VF after a newsstand hiatus of — 47 years!

The cover story tells a twisty tale of Marilyn Monroe’s private papers, written by Sam Kashner. The photo is by the great Bert Stern, and its placement on this significant issue reminds us once again that Marilyn endures even 46 years after her death. She is still the cover girl to end all cover girls. (Stern snapped his dreamy, platinum MM only weeks before her barbiturate overdose.)

This edition of Vanity Fair will also tell us whether Anne Hathaway was conned … if Brooke Astor was abused … about Dominick Dunne’s scandal-filled years at Vanity Fair … and offer the stories behind Annie Leibovitz’s iconic photographs.

The magazine will also offer its 14th collection of the “New Establishment” and everybody is fairly panting to see if they are on this list.
