• Anna Wintour Says Kanye West, Kim Kardashian Not 'Deeply Tasteful'

    Remember when Kim Kardashian was granted her fondest wish and graced the cover of "Vogue" with Kanye West and their daughter North West? At the time she seemed to think that this one photo shoot was proof that she had gone from Ray J's dirty sex tape to a real class act. Getting Anna Wintour's seal of approval for that "Vogue" shoot meant everything, but now it seems Kardashian might have read into it all a little too much. Wintour was speaking at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday, Nov. 17, and when asked about that infamous cover, she staunchly defended her decision to have Kardashian and her family grace it, but she also let her reason for doing so slip and it is a zinger, according to the "Daily Mail." Wintour talked about needing to, at times, make "Vogue" edgy and create some buzz for it to keep up with current pop culture. "I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover, it would be a rather boring magazine! Nobody would talk about us. It's very important that people do talk about us. The first celebrity that I put on the cover of "Vogue" was Madonna, and that was considered completely controversial at the time, too. It's such a long time ago probably no one remembers, but she was a very controversial figure. Now she's part of the establishment." said Wintour in the "Mail.".
