Watch Out Gwyneth! 'Vanity Fair' Editor Graydon Carter Confirms Paltrow Takedown Piece Is A Go

Gwyneth Paltrow is shaking in her (probably very expensive) boots. Despite her complaints and a very public email-campaign to her A-list BFFs, Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter has confirmed that his magazine is set to publish a blockbuster takedown piece revealing the true Paltrow once and for all.

"We started a story on her," he told The Times of London in an interview published this weekend. "We have a very good writer and it'll run."

The GOOP queen had previously emailed friends warning them not to cooperate with the author of the piece, and further, never to work with Vanity Fair again. Apparently, her pleas fell on deaf ears, because BFF Jay Z is the November cover boy, and she'll grace the mag herself soon enough.

In fact, Carter says, Paltrow's tantrum has made him even more determined to publish the piece. He explained, "Well, she sort of forced my hand."

Despite its cushy reputation, Vanity Fair does not grant celebrities pre-publication approval of photos or text, Carter claims, explaining that publicists are "all p***ed off at us, but I can live with that."

And if Paltrow, who recently moved back to L.A. from England, expects any differently, Carter says, she's got a rude awakening coming to her.

"She'll find Los Angeles very different and very difficult," he says. "Some famous people believe that they live in a cone of celebrity that protects them … But it doesn't really exist any more in L.A. unless they stay in."

That has a lot to do with new 24/7 reality TV celebrities like the Kardashians, of whom Carter is no fan.

"Why are they 'stars'?" he complains. "They are tabloid oddities who will disappear in ten minutes. I'm just weary of the phenomenon. And it'll go away on its own."
