Vanity Fair Fires Rupert Everett After He Called Editor 'Fat'

Rupert Everett's candidness has cost him a lucrative job.

The actor is famous for speaking his mind. (Most recently he said Michael Jackson is better off dead.)

Now, the folks over at Vanity Fair magazine, where he was employed as a contributing editor, has fired Rupert after he described editor Graydon Carter as a "weird character" who is "rather fat."

"Rupert regrets being so indiscreet," says an insider. "He’s coming to the end of his Broadway run in Blithe Spirit, so money is tight."

A Vanity Fair source said: "When his remarks reminded Graydon that Rupert was still listed, it seemed some housecleaning was in order."

Put a muzzle on it already, Rupert.
