Kylie Jenner, one of the youngest members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, has become something of a saving grace for the 2026 Oscars, at least in the eyes of Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Mark Guiducci.
The whole thing was shared by a well-placed insider who recently spoke with famed news reporter Rob Shuter Naughty but nice.
In it, he reveals that the once must-see Hollywood event is now facing a crisis of epic proportions because “people may not care anymore.”
The media industry source also claims: “Mark is panicking. The party used to be the most glamorous venue in Hollywood. Now the fear is that it will turn into a party that no one cares about – not even reality stars.”
For those unfamiliar, the event has also been moved to a smaller space this year due to concerns that filling the space could become an issue and according to the insider, “they have downsized because the nightmare scenario is empty space. Nothing screams ‘Hollywood letdown’ like a half-empty VIP party.”
As for their reason for wanting Kylie at the event, it’s because “if she walks in with Timothée Chalamet it guarantees headlines – and right now the headlines are what Vanity Fair wants most.”
Before signing off, the source also pointed out how “downhill” things have gone since then, as “Vanity Fair used to define old-school Hollywood glamour. Now it feels like the Oscars afterparty has more reality stars than actual Oscar winners.”
