A few days ago, the editor of Vanity Fair was bemoaning the degradation of modern celebrity.
The people who fill the pages of celebrity magazines, Graydon Carter declared on the Culture Show on BBC2, will be forgotten in three years, unlike the "greats" in the Vanity Fair pantheon.
What struck me was how anxious and defensive he seemed. Perhaps, as his former employee Toby Young has suggested, Carter really does think of himself as a serious journalist with no more than two or three of his manicured toes in the beau monde.
