Advantages: Cheap and easy to read

Disadvantages: Nothing more than a magazine to flick through

I bought this magazine for the first time yesterday. I fancied something trashy and easy to read and priced at 99p and claiming to be the Hottest Celeb Weekly I thought I'd give it a go.

I am not sure why I read these types of magazines to be honest. I am not overly interested in celebrities, I think its my vain attempt at keeping young.

This magazine had the usual celebrities pictures on the front and bold cleverly edited headlines.

This weeks magazine is 114 pages and at least 100 of those are just full of various paparazzi photos which to be honest you will have probably already seen flashed across your internet homepage or the pages of the Sun newspaper.

There was a couple of interviews which were written quite well. Not award winning investigative interviewing but easy to read, somewhat informative and midly amusing.

The magazine I would suspect is linked to Heat as the format is near enough identical. They have a spotted section like Heat, they have a letters page formatted the same and the final page again is amazingly similar to Heat.

Also like Heat the latter part of the magazine is the next weeks TV listings so if you already buy a TV guide and you also like a bit of celebrity, albeit heavily Z list, then this is a good buy.

As you would expect there are various pages of advertisments but they, unlike other magazines, are few and far between and easily ignored.

My overall opinion of this magazine is if you want a trashy, non taxing celebrity magazine to flick through then this is ideal. If you prefer something with a bit more depth and a lot more words then move on.

Summary: A cheap trashy magazine ideal for reading on a train
