Hello! Reviews

I hadn't bought Hello! magazine for years. I think the main reason is because I always considered it to be too expensive - at £2 a copy, I think that it is far too expensive for a weekly magazine. However, the other day I decided to treat myself to a different magazine (I always buy the same ones and so fancied something else) and so ...  Read the complete review

I love all kinds of trashy magazines, from Love It! to Glamour, whether that's for the comedy value alone or interesting stories and discussion. However, a few weeks ago I noticed that Hello was on sale for just £1. I never normally buy it as I think it's too expensive, so I picked it up thinking it would make a nice change. A ...  Read the complete review

One day I'll understand the appeal of Hello, its basically a magazine ofr people window shopping on the rich and famous' private lives and for me is totally pointless. Hello has been around for about 10 years or so and is genuinely a market leader, indeed its more a market definer spawning a huge range of imitators like Ok and ...  Read the complete review

If you are in a dentist surgery or waiting at the opticians or dentists, pick this up - it's a very light read, in fact there is,compared to most magazines, very little to read- it is mainly pictures- and I have to say top quality photography. Now to the confession, I am not into celebrity gossip and news. I love reading, but with all ...  Read the complete review

I can remember the first ever `Hello` magazine that I ever bought as if it were yesterday, my GP was getting remarried to an actress and they had sold their story and photographs to the glossy magazine. The local newsagents cant have known what had hit them that week. The GP was a well respected member of the community and everyone ...  Read the complete review

I've never bought a copy of HELLO! magazine before, merely flicked through it at the hospital but I was one of the suckers who wanted to see the pics of Bradgelinas new babies which HELLO! had spent millions of pounds to publish. HELLO! amazingly has a readership of almost 400 000 copies per week of their glossy magazine which ...  Read the complete review

There is one phenomenon which grew in enormous leaps in the 1990s. It is the cult of celebrity. We have, so we are led to believe, developed such an insatiable appetite for news of celebrity lifestyles and royal minutiae that an entire industry has been built. Journalists, photographers and publishers compete to find stories ...  Read the complete review

when younger HELLOused to glisten on the newsaagents shelf like baby oil on a chippendale. Withit's glossy thick paper it held so much appeal to ten year old me. I viewed it as a glamourous grown up magazine, i thought is bound to be amazing after seeing the champagne luch lifestyles eddie and pats dah-ling indulged in on a day to day ...  Read the complete review

Hello has long been an institution in publishing providing a ready source of money for celebrities wanting to cash on on their wedding / birthday/ birth of children/ barmithza (excuse spelling, divorces and probably funerals if the purse strings will stretch that far. For me it is one of those magazines that you pick up in ...  Read the complete review

Hello! Magazine - Who on earth buys this dross? "Leading sportsmen and women rubbed shoulders with a host of glamorous celebrities at this year's Laureus World Sports Awards in Monte Carlo, but it was Catherine Zeta Jones who undeniably stole the show. Looking every inch the Hollywood superstar, she set flashbulbs ...  Read the complete review

****Update at the bottom of this op!**** It's a rainy Saturday afternoon - the rugby has finished, the pub has quietened down and in my post alcoholic haze I bought a copy of Hello on the way home as it has vouchers for a free newspaper every day for the next week and two bars of chocolate stuck on the front. Baragain I ...  Read the complete review

I’m against these new women’s magazines. This is because of three reasons, the first being their pointless names. I think the people who came up the names for these magazines, didn’t really come up with them at all. How I see it is they recorded or wrote down a conversation, randomly picked a word and BOOM! Now ...  Read the complete review

How do I describe Hello! magazine? It is a celebrity magazine, which gives us an insight into the lives, loves and homes and the rich, and famous, but what I have noticed is that it is more of the rich and less of the famous. The current issue has a picture of Michael Jackson at Uri Geller's wedding blessing on the front, ...  Read the complete review

Are you one of those people who sit by their window twitching their curtains to see what your neighbours are doing? Do you love to gossip over the fence about other people's lives and spread malicious rumours? Do you really need to get a life? If the answer is yes to any or all of the above then you will love Hello magazine. ...  Read the complete review

Being a guy, I don't buy women's mags but a friends' wife does and I do have some journalistic background. this magazine is absolute trash (or some other term which is a lot stronger, which is not for publication!). It's contents and features are mindless pap and they seem hell bent on sinking to new lows, signing ...  Read the complete review

Sorry another one I dont like that much - falls pretty much into the same catagory as OK which fell into the catagory of 'takes slightly longer to read than Bella and Take a Break - but then again so does a packet of crisps!' Why are we so interested in anyone famous? Hello is just full of saddos which makes those who ...  Read the complete review

Magazines would blame it on the paparizzi when things are put in the spotlight about their lack of respect for the privacy and freedom of others. Yet, they are the ones willing to publish something that may incriminate or embarrass another member of the public. It is their responsibility also. I don't understand why people ...  Read the complete review

I get Hello magazines free. This is a perk of being a member of David Lloyd leisure, and I have to admit I love them. I am easily impressed by the rich and famous. I love to peep into their personal lives, see what theyre wearing, and who theyre hanging out with. While most people photographed are dressed in their glitzy ...  Read the complete review

I have only bought Hello magazine a few times, and the only time I can recall what was in it, was when it had a feature about Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, who is the subject of 3 of my web sites, and who was featured in Hello when the four part tv drama that he starred in, Hornblower, was first shown in this country. But just ...  Read the complete review

My wife says:- Hello gives you the chance to escape away from the real world allowing you to delve into the lives of the perhaps more famous. It is a glossy magazine full of photographs and features of stars and the famous. We all like to see how these people are in their own homes, and Hello allow us to do just that. ...  Read the complete review
