Great news! Miss Heard is featured in the August 2008 issue of Vanity Fair, inside the “Bright Young Hollywood” portfolio. Amanda Seyfried, Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart and Emma Roberts grace the cover. Amber poses together with Rachael Taylor and Jonah Hill. I love the photo of them and the interview is really fun as well.

Since V.F. first focused on Hollywood’s teen titans, in 2003, the YouTube-Gawker machine has upped the ante. For every Shia LaBeouf success, there’s a Lindsay Lohan flameout. For our August issue, Mark Seliger photographs today’s crop of hot young things, while Krista Smith collects the Tiger Beat data sheets (biggest crush? BlackBerry or iPhone?).
