Heat

Heat magazine....... I have to admit it, although rather ashamed to, but I love a bit of trashy celebrity gossip on a regular basis. I find reading about the lives of people who get paid to be under the spotlight sometimes rather uplifting and as my friends are mostly into the same things as me it gives us something else to chat mindlessly about that isn't work or children! Heat magazine is, I find, the best celebrity magazine available although costing fractionally more than others on the shelves it is worth paying that bit extra for. Heat costs £1.65pence which is more than Closer which costs £1.30pence and Star that is sold at ...  Read the complete review

My other half buys this every week and leaves it lying around, just knowing that I love reading and will pick anything up and devour it, so this isn't a heat reader writing this review this is a casual observer. So the magazine itself seems to be devoted to a small number of celebrities who have inexplicibly caught the imagination of its readers, covers seem to range between Jordan, Posh Spice, Kerry Katona, anyone from the Apprentice, Big Brother or any reality based show. If you look objectively at the stories in it there is some absolute rubbish, but this I believe the best selling weekly magazine in the UK. There are some admirable traits to ...  Read the complete review

Heat is one of my guilty secrets. Every week, Every Tuesday morning I run to the local newsagents as regular as clock work to snatch a copy before they all fly off the shelves. Its like getting a fix of a drug, only my drug is a magazine full of trashy celeb gossip. Celebrity gossip addiction is actually being recognised as an addiction by mental health chiefs. The bombardment of reality tv stars, images of hollywood A-List dolly birds and hunky fellas cavorting about on screen and in the daily papers has increased 10 fold in the past years. The increase of the 'nobody celebrity' who achieve notoriety by appearing on Big Brother and becoming the latest 10 ...  Read the complete review

If you’re looking for a magazine full of glossy pictures of celebs looking totally fab and at the same time looking very dodgy and also jam-packed full of gossip then look no further than Heat magazine. I first bought Heat about a year ago now when it was on sale every two weeks; it was hard to find a copy in any newsagent because it was so popular. Now a year on and it is so popular that it has become a weekly magazine, available every Tuesday.. <><>The magazine<><> This magazine has around 122-130 pages, depending on the stories available at the time of print. It claims to be the first with celebrity gossip, which it is ...  Read the complete review

I love this mag, don't ask me why, I can sit down and read it cover to cover in a hour, I don't really learn anything particularly worthwhile (other than what cleanser Kylie uses and the latest plot lines in Eastenders) but I still buy it EVERY week. I think the TV ad for the mag is correct "the higher the intelligence the greater the need for gossip". My husband for instance insists it's pants (rubbish!), but if I'm not in the room he will be reading it cover to cover. Why are people embarrased to admit that they love celeb gossip? This magazine didn't start out quite how it is now, it was more focused on ...  Read the complete review
