Advantages: Cheap, has some celeb gossip, ok for flicking through

Disadvantages: Not the best celebrity gossip magazine out there, not much reading in it

Star magazine is a magazine I had never heard of until a friend popped round to visit me and brought me an OK! magazine pack which came with several other celebrity magazines. Star is a magazine along similar lines to Heat which gives celeb gossip mainly of B and C list celebrities.

Star magazine retails for 85p and is weekly. The magazine I have is the issue from 2nd Novemeber.

On the front cover surprise surprise there is a large picture of Jordan and Peter with the headline "Our real feelings about the divorce." The photo even has a little red arrow added to point out that Peter is holding the official divorce paper (like we care!). I think from the front page you get the idea of the type of magazine you are going to be reading or looking at. Its not exactly going to be intellectually stimulating so if that's what you want in a magazine then don't buy it!!

Inside the magazine there are lots of photos and not very much reading. This is a magazine designed to be flicked through rather than read. As such I find this kind of magazine doesn't last me very long so its not the best kind of thing for a long train journey as you will have finished it really quickly.

Inside the magazine we are treated to a Jordan exclusive with Jordan (or Katie Price, not really sure what she is calling herself these days) talking through some of her outfit choices from 2003 to the present day. I did find this article amusing to see some of the terrible choices she had chosen. There was only one outfit I thought looked ok and that was one she commented that she hated!!

There is then another article about the Peter and Katie divorce. We then move on to the X-Factor and learn 15 things about John and Edward including how to tell them apart (John is on the left and Edward the right, John has a scar on his nose and Edward has a scar on his lip and John has a pointy ear!! So now you know!). We then learn that Joe from X-Factor was once 13 stone and how Cheryl is worrying that she cant win the show.

We then have the celebs bad photos where they show photos of celebs not exactly looking their best. There are then several pages of fashion including fashion in the shops and giving celebs ratings out of 10 for outfits that they have been seen in recently.

The next section is actually its own pull out magazine and is Hollywood Star where at least the celebs are a bit better known however calling it a magazine is a bit cheeky as it is only 8 pages! It consists mainly of photos of celebs with small comments after them.

The main magazine finishes off with articles on Celebs bodies, an interview with Katherine Jenkins, the 6 best shopping destinations and reviews of recent films, dvds, books and singles before finishing with the weeks TV guide.


This magazine wouldn't reach my top 10 magazine list as I do like a magazine with a bit more reading in. However it is great for flicking through and finding out the latest celeb gossip and looking at the outfits they have been wearing. There is perhaps a little bit more reading than some other celeb magazines. For 85p its not too bad but I wont be rushing out to buy another one.

Summary: A celebrity gossip magazine which is not the best but ok for a flick through
