There is a new report going around that claims that Lindsay Lohan, the artist currently known as Inmate #2409752, will be featured on the cover and in the pages of an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair magazine. L. Lo reportedly posed for the VF cover on her birthday (July 2), ahead of her surrender to the court to start serving her 90 14 day jail sentence this week. As you may recall, on Wednesday we got to see her Complex magazine coverphoto and today we get to see a few photos from her Complex photospread:

Gossip Cop can exclusively report that shortly before Lindsay Lohan went to jail she gave Vanity Fair an interview for its October cover. We’re also told Lohan did a photo shoot in L.A. on her birthday (July 2) aboard what was once Judy Garland’s yacht. A source says the shoot by Norman Jean Roy was “amazing,” and comprises “some of the most beautiful photos of Lindsay” ever taken. Lohan was dressed in an evening gown, which covered her SCRAM bracelet, and looks like a glamorous movie star from Hollywood’s Golden Age. Of course, the article was planned some time ago, and was supposed to be tied to the September release of her film, Machete. And while our sources say there were questions after Lohan was sentenced as to whether she would still do the interview, the actress stuck to her word, even as other outlets were reportedly offering her hundreds of thousands of dollars to talk. Gossip Cop hears Lohan spoke candidly about her life, including her current legal predicament. At present, this is the only confirmed sitdown Lohan has conducted since her sentencing.

Okay … firstly, she does look great in these Complex photos. Despite all her troubles, she still manages to take a good picture every once in a while. Secondly, how lucky did Vanity Fair get by scoring a Lindsay interview right before she went to jail. Since the mag won’t be out on newsstands until September, VF will not get to enjoy the massive punch from Lindsay‘s current legal woes … but they do have the distinction of having her last pre-jail interview. Her first post-jail interview is said to be worth $1 million … as of yet, we don’t know who she will be giving that interview to. Not for nothing but, in all honesty, this jail stint has been the best thing to happen to Lindsay Lohan‘s career in ages! She should’ve went to jail a long time ago.

Director Joss Whedon and producer JJ Abrams confirmed yesterday news that was pretty much common knowledge for the past few months despite the lack of official confirmation — Whedon will be directing the big screen adaptation of the Marvel comic book series The Avengers. Joss and JJ took to the stage together at 2010 San Diego Comic-Con at The Avengers panel to officially announce Whedon‘s involvement in the film, much to fans’ extreme glee:

Joss Whedon announced today that he’s officially directing The Avengers, while on stage with J.J. Abrams at San Diego’s Comic-Con. He joked that Marvel didn’t have enough money for a real press release, so he took it up himself to confirm previous reports that he was in talks to direct the film. When pressed for further details, he said that it was way too early to reveal anything. The news isn’t exactly surprising, but still it’s good to have final confirmation on the matter. As a Whedon fan, I’m excited to see what he can do with the material. Whedon mentioned that he was a huge fan of early Avenger’s comics while growing up, and he seemed understandably excited and humbled at having the opportunity to direct the film.

The fantastic Joss Whedon fan site Whedonesque was at The Avengers panel at Comic-Con yesterday and they provided a tweet-by-tweet rundown on their Twitter profile of what was said by Joss Whedon on stage. After the jump, read some of the quotes attributed to Whedon during yesterday’s Comic-Con panel discussion …

Congratulations are in order for the newly married Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr … because the sneaky couple went and got themselves married this week! As you may recall, the couple (who have been dating since 2007) announced to the world that they got themselves engaged to be wed last month … and then, all of the sudden, news broke late yesterday that the couple went and got married in a secret ceremony. Sneaky Sneaky. But, it’s a done deal, they got hitched, y’all:

That was fast. Only a month after their engagement was confirmed, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have married. The model, 27, and the British actor, 33, are now on their honeymoon, Kerr says in a statement that also explains the cancelation of her appearance at the Australian department store David Jones. “David Jones very graciously released me during this period so we could celebrate an intimate ceremony and honeymoon together,” Kerr’s statement says. “I’m very much a part of the David Jones Family and I am very committed to my role. I am enormously grateful to David Jones to have been given this time to enjoy such a special moment in my life.”

I mean, yes this is a big surprise but on the the other hand, not really. You may recall that we saw photos of Miranda checking out church locations for the possible wedding just days after news of the couple’s engagement was announced in late June. I could tell then that they were chomping at the bit to get the deal done. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure where the couple said their I Dos (none of the reports out today seem sure) but I suppose it really doesn’t matter. All that matters is that Orlando and Miranda are blissfully happy as husband and wife. Lets send them our warmest congratulations and all of our love on their happy nuptials! Congrats!!
