"Video: A Preview of Anna Wintour on 60 Minutes
60 Minutes is definitely airing the Anna Wintour piece they've been working on for the past six months this Sunday. And the news program just released the first footage of the editor in all of her glory, days away from the debut of the 12-minute segment. The 45-second scene shows Wintour with her staff, and it's just a preview of what's to come. And given that we've spied correspondent Morley Safer and his production team following around Anna at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in November, Fashion Week in New York, Milan, and Paris in February and March, and last week's Met gala, we can't wait to see the rest of the footage made it in the piece. But, alas, we'll have to wait until this Sunday at 7 p.m."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: To the ears of mere mortals, the very mention of the name Anna Wintour sounds like a Haute Couture hymn trumpeted from the heights of the Heavens ... or the depths of Hell, depending on whom Y.O.U. ask ... lol. Her legendary layout of a life lived in public, but, not of it, conjures up visions of days filled with vicious American Vogue editorial staff meeting lashings of her publishing peasants compliments of a custom made supple Italian leather Fendi brand cat O' nine tails whip balanced against Moët champagne flute noted nights spent spewing career making or breaking fashion reviews from her runway ruling class section perched alongside her gloriously extravagant P.artner N. C.rime and Vogue Editor-At-Large, André Leon Talley.
The personification of the frigid indifference and been-there-done-that-therefore-I-am-flyer-than-thou attitude that lesser executives, stylists and basic fashionphiles desperately attempt to affect and reflect in their comparatively unimpressive daily lives, Anna Wintour is the white widow whose spun silk wishes determine which of next seasons collections make it to the prized windows of such high end retailers as Bergdorf Goodman's and Saks. I mean, Anna Wintour was the inspiration for the Plum Sykes (NOTE: She is a former personal assistant of Ms. Wintour) bestseller "The Devil Wears Prada" which, when turned into a Hollywood feature cinematique, starred Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, a fashion editor widely believed to be based on Wintour.
Anyway, after over 20 years @ the helm of American Vogue (The flagship of the Vogue Magazine empire) as Editor-In-Chief, her material majesty - apparently now done with shunning the media and turning a pointed nose up @ the internet - permitted the esteemed 60 Minutes CBS T.V. news journal a once in a lifetime interview profiling her comings and goings atop the fashion world.
A concrete air-date has not been given, however, as the Sunday May 17th episode of 60 Minutes is the last offering before their Summer 2009 hiatus, this segment highlighting Anna Wintour and her elegant eminence has got to hit the screen NOW! DVRs: Ready. Set. Go!
