Editor: I don't think you can say 大V means "VIP". A VIP isn't necessarily a blogger.
And according to the New York Times, 大V isn't even *derived* from "VIP":
"Big V, for verified account, is the widely used moniker for the most influential commentators on China’s growing microblog sites — online celebrities whose millions of fans read, discuss and spread their outpouring of news and opinions"

In other words, they are saying the V comes from the Twitter term "verified account":

# 大V 大V [da4 v5] /VIP/someone with a large following (especially on the internet)/
+ ! 大V 大V [da4 V] /celebrity microblogger/influential microblogger/
