Vanity Fair brings out the comedy big guns for their Superstar issue

Here's an awesome Xmas gift if there ever could be one delivered from a normally dedicated to overpriced and overhyped fashion magazine. Vanity Fair is highlighting the superstars of comedy in their special 3-cover exclusive edition. The guest editor for the series of articles about the various people and movies they're focusing on is none other than Judd Apatow himself. With a bunch of R-Rated comedies making their way through the muck of watered down PG-13 crap lately, it's nice to see that attention is being placed where it should be: on those making comedy movies great again. I had been starting to miss the raunchiness of the '80's funny films I would sneak into. Pictured are those who have been delivering well in the most recent years, from Maya Rudolph, Chris Rock, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig and Amy Poehler - the rise-above-their-SNL-roots-gang - to Melissa McCarthy, Ben Stiller, Jim Carrey, Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd, Jerry Seinfeld and even Megan Fox, it's a fun set of pictures from a great group of people. Yeah, I think there's a good chance for a turn-around in Fox's future, if this is the company she decides to continue to keep.
