You guys really like that Anna Wintour ambassadorial rumor a lot don't you?  Enough to give it three years of legs? Well, sorry to kill your dreams of the icy Vogue editor becoming a U.S. ambassador, but just like in 2009, this isn't happening. "These are just rumors. She’s quite happy at her current job," an unnamed source tells The New York Post's Page Six today about Wintour's interest in a British ambassadorial post, something floated Saturday by The Observer's Edward Helmore. Sure, being "happy at her current job" isn't quite the same as what her reps said three years ago about the same rumor: "It’s totally not true. She won’t be working for Obama in any way."  But you probably wouldn't want it any other way.
