According to USAToday.com, pop culture icons Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, who both died June 25, appear in the September issue of Vanity Fair. Fawcett’s cover photograph, by Bruce McBroom, will be featured on half of the issues and Jackson’s cover photograph, by Annie Leibovitz, will be featured on the other half.

The magazines will include the exact same content, and will be on newsstands nationwide Aug. 11. Subscribers will receive one of the two covers at random.

The stories accompanying the covers highlight Fawcett and Jackson’s lives, focusing on 5 different topics: love, fame, career, odd behavior and family.

Twitterers are looking forward to the upcoming double-cover:

Vanity Fair Reveals Best-Dressed List

Elyse Roth — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:02:02 +0000

Actors, professionals, politicians and royalty. Those are just some of the job descriptions held by the people who are on this year’s Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed List, according to VanityFair.com.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were both honored with the title while celebrities recognized ranged from actors like Brad Pitt and Penelope Cruz to musicians like Alica Keys and even athletes like Tiki Barber.

Though Obama’s recent “mom jeans” scandal and the removal of Angelina Jolie from the list made some Twitterers call the magazine’s judgement into question, most were pleased with the final list:

Vanity Fair Publishes Heath Ledger Cover Story

Elyse Roth — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:26:06 +0000

Amidst all the drama surrounding the passing of Michael Jackson, Vanity Fair’s August issue remembers another tragic celebrity death: Heath Ledger. The magazine explored Ledger’s talent and ambivalence toward Hollywood in the cover story titled, “The Last of Heath.”

Peter Biskind, a contributing editor for the magazine, writes of the tough, ambiguous questions still surrounding “The Dark Knight” star’s sudden death in 2008. Among the many topics discussed in the article: how Ledger cleaned up his act by stopping his use of marijuana and alcohol on a regular basis, how his insomnia could have been a large factor in his death, his failed relationship with actress Michelle Williams, his love for his daughter Matilda, his devotion to acting and his lackluster attitude toward being a celebrity.

Twitterers are still sad about Ledger’s death, yet excited for the article:

anaszev I just read the last Vanity Fair with Heath Ledger. Besides gergeous, he was an excellent actor. The fans, as the family, miss him.
