It was recently announced that Lena Dunham will be on the cover of February Vogue. If you’re asking yourself why, you’ve got plenty of company. Here are some other celebs who caused a stir when they fronted various magazine covers:

When Lena Dunham showed up on the arm of Vogue editor-at-large Hamish Bowles at last year’s Met Gala, we all knew a Vogue cover couldn’t be far off. But how does the girl that prides herself on being a “real” girl — indeed, who dons purposefully unflattering clothing on her hit show “Girls” — land the most covetable fashion magazine cover ever? The math just doesn’t add up.

She might not have a single talent in life, but apparently that doesn’t matter (even to W magazine) when you have “ass-sets” like Kim’s to show off. According to Kanye, she deserves the cover of Vogue over Michelle Obama, since “No one is looking at what Obama is wearing.” Can you say reality check?

While Nicole Richie has redeemed herself many times over since her days on “The Simple Life” with partner-in-crime Paris Hilton, that still can’t erase the shock of the pair appearing on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Even in fashion, two wrongs don’t make a right.

Lindsay Lohan’s love of Marilyn Monroe came full circle with the cover and recreation of some of Marilyn’s most famous nude photos in the Spring Fashion issue of New York Magazine. Similarities between the two do exist — but there’s only one Marilyn.

Miley Cyrus twerked her way right off the cover of Vogue after her over-the-top appearance at the VMAs — and onto the cover of Harper’s Bazaar instead. While controversy is clearly the name of the game with Miss Miley, she looked quite put together.
