Vanity Fair's annual "Young Hollywood" issue caused a stir when its fold-out cover was revealed, showing a bevy of nine white, thin female starlets and leaving out the industry's breakout actress, Precious star Gabourey Sidibe. Though the "Fresh Faces of 2010" issue includes Oscar-nominated Sidibe in its pages, the cover features Abbie Cornish, Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Rebecca Hall, Mia Wasikowska, Anna Kendrick, Emma Stone, and Evan Rachel Wood. "At first I thought, 'Hmm, should I be there?'" the first-time nominee told Access Hollywood. "Then I very quickly got over it. I think if I were a part of that shoot I would have felt a little left out anyway," Sidibe graciously said. "I'm excited to be mentioned anywhere, and it doesn't matter to me where I'm not mentioned."
