What Anna Wintour wants, she gets, right? Well, kind of… Glamurama explains, the editor of Vogue America has been courting basketball player Amar’e Stoudemire, currently one of the most popular players in the NBA. The reason for the sudden interest is that Amar’e recently signed a contract worth U.S. $ 100 million with the Knicks, which immediately catapulted to the celebrity position.
* Because of this, Anna decided it would be wise to put the athlete on the cover. The only problem is that he is not very interested in the idea. Even so, Anna is determined to change his mind, and she even invited him to the front row of the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show in New York Fashion Week, on Sunday. Hamish Bowles, Vogue’s European editor-at-large also will be present at the event.
* Remember that the latest cover of Vogue with a basketball player, the one in which Gisele Bundchen appears in the lap of LeBron James, generated more negative comments than positive. Anna might just want to repair that slip. Or she’s simply a fan of manly, famous and filth rich basketball players.
