Are Paparazzi Photos Art?

We were psyched to see Angelina Jolie on the cover of the new W. But then we saw Nicole Kidman, Lindsay Lohan, Katie Holmes and five other cover girls.

Does this mean no Angelina interview?

Apparently not.

The covers were created by Richard Prince, the artist who just made Marc Jacobs' latest bags.

Prince layered the starlets' alleged autographs over stock paparazzi photos for W's latest creations. Of course, he actually wrote each quote, ranging from, "To Richard Prince, Love you long time, Cameron Diaz," and "To Richard Prince, Let's not and say we did, Jennifer Aniston."

Though none of the cover girls are actually featured in the magazine's Art Issue, Marc Jacob's art-filled Paris apartment is.

Is this false advertising? Or would we rather see Marc's latest muses than US Weekly images anyway?

Editor's Note: Faran was sorta bummed there was no Angelina interview... sorry.

It must be an artistic statement.

Well, I usually peruse the table of contents of magazines before I purchase them, so...I would know that there was no article on so and so. If the art was actually good, I might buy it for that reason. The Jolie "art" is not a must have.

Um I don't know, that's kinda weird... I don't think it's really that much "art"...
