She’s been accused of corrupting Miley Cyrus, but no one can say photographer Annie Leibovitz does not have a sense of humor.
In the new April 2009 issue of Vanity Fair, the iconic photographer parodies her own Vanity Fair March 2006 cover, which had a clothed Tom Ford with nude Hollywood starlets Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley.
The comic recreation features Paul Rudd as Tom Ford alongside Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, and Jason Sege.
Thankfully, the guys wore fat body suits instead of letting it all hang out.
The April issue is devoted to Comedy’s New Legends.
