Bond Is No Wuss! Daniel Craig Defends Casino Royale Tear-Shedding Scene In Vanity Fair

Lady Gaga Pays Homage to My Fair Lady and Funny Girl in New VF Photo Shoot

Photoshoot homages are a dime a dozen at this point, and it's hard to separate one starlet's Breakfast at Tiffany's tribute from any of the hundreds of others.

She's not just aping Barbra Streisand's pucker like Jennifer Aniston, she's relating a muse to herself, and that's impressive even in a bombastic Annie Leibovitz shoot like this one. It's what really makes her the new Madonna, not sheer popularity. Photos after the jump.
