“Silver Linings Playbook” isn’t just receiving good reviews from the critics.

At a press conference at the Center for American Progress, in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, many were singing the movie’s praises for its realistic portrayal of mental illness and spoke of it’s power to raise awareness of the roadblocks many face in the U.S. in order to get treatment for their conditions.

Actor Bradley Cooper spoke alongside former Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy and Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, among others, addressing how mental illness has affected their lives.

“I was ignorant before I did this movie,” admitted Cooper, who in the movie portrays Pat Solitano, a man living with bipolar disorder. “For me it felt like that it wasn’t acting. I felt like I could understand that if life dealt a different set of cards to me, I could understand being in a situation that Pat found himself in.”

Kennedy compared the mental health battle and the hurdles many face to find treatment to the civil rights war his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, faced in office.

“Today that can be said for those of us, like myself, who suffer from a mental illness. But not just a medical issue, but a civil rights issue, because the denial of medical treatment is really a civil rights issue,” he said.

Stabenow hopes the movie can be the start of a continuing trend of bringing the mental health issue not only to Congress but to the rest of the nation.

“We need to bring awareness. The movie is a very important place to start with real people, talking about life struggles and the fact that there is hope.”

“If we do communicate, healing can occur,” concluded Cooper. “Hopefully today can be the beginning of that awareness and that action.”

The movie is up for best picture and several other Oscars in Sunday night’s ceremony, including all the top acting awards. Cooper and his co-star Jennifer Lawrence are up for best actor and actress, and Robert De Niro and Jackie Weaver for supporting actor and actress. Its director, David O. Russell is nominated for best director.

It’s one for the history books—more than 75 different stars were photographed for Vanity Fair’s 19th Hollywood Portfolio, shot by Bruce Weber as the famed photographer’s definitive tribute to the town. Enfolding Tom Hanks and Halle Berry, Amy Adams and Jonah Hill, Selena Gomez and Alan Arkin, Weber’s vision called for a variety of talent—of both the two- and four-legged variety. The cover: Ben Affleck and Bradley Cooper (impishly smiling in a bear suit and a gorilla costume, respectively) flank America’s sweetheart Emma Stone. Oscar winner Affleck cemented his status as Hollywood’s in-demand director with Argo, which received seven Academy Award nominations, including best picture, while Cooper’s Silver Linings Playbook received eight nominations, including Cooper’s first for best actor. Youngest-ever best-actress nominee Quvenzhané Wallis also appears on the cover gatefold along with Olivia Wilde, Kerry Washington, and Eddie Redmayne.

Weber’s wild(life) wit continues inside, as Les Misérables’ Redmayne and Bella Heathcote dance with a bear, tiger cubs make an appearance, and the most fawned-over participant in the whole production—Tai the elephant—mugs for the camera. Tai, who has her own IMDb page and several starring film credits, at one point walked through the soundstage at Hollywood Center Studios and began to perform some of her favorite tricks. Later that day she even gave Gomez a ride on her trunk.

Editor Graydon Carter wanted to do something different for the portfolio’s 19th year, so he called on Weber to create “Bruce Weber’s Adventures in Hollywood,” an ode to the city’s warmer side. Weber convened the shoots at various historic Hollywood locations—including back lots, soundstages, the Beverly Hills Hotel, Musso & Frank Grill, and the old Marion Davies estate. He shipped selected LPs and a portable record player to provide the right musical accompaniment for the assorted cast of Hollywood characters. When Weber was staging Quincy Jones and three of his beautiful daughters—Rashida, Kidada, and Kenya—Weber asked them to come up with a song they all knew so that they could sing together. Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” from the Thriller album, which Quincy produced, was their choice.

V.F. special correspondent Bob Colacello, who accompanied Weber on many of the shoots, observes that Bruce’s “magic kingdom . . . is more Cinecittà than Disney, a place where Old Hollywood glamour is filtered through the lens of postwar Italian neo-realism, and Norman Rockwell wholesomeness is given an antic Fellini edge.” Having spent decades watching the movie business, Weber finds the unexpected warmth among its stars. There’s an intimacy to these images that shows that Hollywood isn’t just about glamour. This year’s portfolio is a celebration of the friendships that thrive among the people who call it home.

Bradley Cooper can hold off on researching about performance-enhancing drugs—for now.

The Silver Linings Playbook star insists there’s no truth to him wanting to play Lance Armstrong in a movie version of the disgraced cyclist’s life.

“Oh my God, that’s so nuts!” he told Access Hollywood.

Although the 38-year-old actor revealed to BBC News earlier this month he “would be interested” in playing Armstrong, he explained he actually “had no idea what [the interviewer] was talking about.”

“I didn’t even know that J.J. [Abrams] has the rights,” he added. “I had no idea.”

Sigh. Guess that means we won’t be seeing 2012′s Sexiest Man Alive in bike shorts anytime soon.
