What is wrong with this picture?

For Vanity Fair's annual "Hollywood Issue" 9 blue-eyed starlets were selected to grace the cover. Among them, Twilight star Kristen Stewart, Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried, An Education's Carey Mulligan, Up in the Air's Anna Kendrick, and The Wrestler's Evan Rachel Wood.

These are fine actors who have done a considerable amount of respectable work. They've been making headlines lately for their acting roles so it's no surprise that they've been chosen to represent the new faces of Hollywood.

Still, I can't help but wonder: what happened to Precious' Gabourey Sidibe or Star Trek's Zoe Saldana? Why aren't there any women of color here? Is the new Hollywood all about the Anglo-Saxon?
