Anna Wintour revealed in a 60 Minutes interview last Sunday that in 1998, she told Oprah Winfrey she had to lose 20 pounds before Wintour could put Winfrey on the cover of Vogue, according to Us. Wintour also defended her magazine's use of Photoshop, saying it "makes people look their best." She also decried America's misdirected focus on anorexia during an obesity epidemic, after saying that during a trip to Minnesota, she could "only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses."
