This time round, it’s women treating men like doggies, women treating themselves like doggie-do, and women dressed up like a dog’s dinner – but are we talking about Coleen Rooney, Kerry Katona or Katie Price? See if you can guess which is which.

OK, we’ll put you out of your not inconsiderable misery. Perhaps it’s little surprise to find out that Katie Price has been cracking the whip in the direction of hubby Alex Reid. Alex was booked to do a photo shoot for a top-flight gay mag – to further his career, y’unnerstan – but when Katie found out he wasn’t being paid for his time she wasn’t having a bar of it. La Price stormed round and dragged a cowed Alex home after a mere two shots had been snapped. Bad boy! Now go fetch the money.

The self-abuser is of course Col… no, not really, it’s Kerry Katona, who’s “finally” (because, like, we’ve all been on tenterhooks) spilled the beans on the sordid reality of her life for the last couple of years. “I’d take so much coke I’d have a fit,” she told the News of the World. “Then I’d come round and do another line, trying to shock him into showing he cared.” The “him”, as we know, is hubby Mark Croft, whom Kezza turfed out a few weeks ago. Well rid, says we.

Which leaves ever-fragrant Coleen Rooney, who showed up at Aintree sans hubby Wayne for the Grand National at the weekend, dressed in something that looked like nothing more like a giant placenta. She topped off the, ahem, maternity-wear with a gigantic pair of gold earrings, perhaps to distract the eye away from that pooch’s soup of a dress. Take a leaf out of fellow Aintree attendee (and wife of Steven Gerrard) Alex Curran’s book, Col – she looked grand, if a little Star Trek with those crazy shoulder pads…

There has always been attention given to the activities of various celebrities. In recent years, celebrity news has become more popular. This trend has paved the way for more celebrity magazines to emerge in order to satisfy the public’s appetite for celebrity gossip. However, although celebrity magazines have had an impact on the magazine world, the magazines have also had an impact on Hollywood as well.

With the dramatic increase in attention the celebrity magazines provide, there has been both positive and negative effects in Hollywood. For instance, in a positive development, there has been a giant push for celebrities to promote charities and other organizations that strive to benefit humankind and the world at large. This promotion is done often through the celebrity magazines. When one of these stories is picked up by the gossip magazines, millions of people are made aware of these causes and can contribute to these benevolent organizations. Putting pressure on major organizations to enact change is something positive that celebrity magazines have done. Also, due to the fact that celebrities have recognizable names and therefore powerful voices, what celebrities say and the organizations that they support receive an increase in attention through celebrity magazines and other venues.

It is important to remember, however, that celebrity magazines are for entertainment. In many cases, no matter what magazines say about celebrities, the individuals that they are covering are sometimes people who do not want the hype. Obviously, these artists and power-brokers are in the public eye, but, in the end, many are just hardworking individuals who are doing what they love to do, and are not looking for extra attention. Nowadays, with so many celebrity magazines on the market, more reporters and photographers than ever before are fighting for stories and photos. This can be distracting to those that simply want to work in Hollywood or elsewhere, and in the worst cases, can affect the quality of their work. .

Consequently, the more celebrity magazines that are available to the public means more pages that are needed to be filled with celebrity gossip. The various magazines require stories and pictures to satisfy their readership. What this leads to, ultimately, is that each magazine must develop an angle to attract the reader, and sometimes these angles might not be accurate, or even an obvious lie. Some couples claim that the constant pressure from the celebrity magazines is what ultimately led to their breakups, and some claim that by doing these things out in public where everyone can see them, the couples themselves have allowed the magazines to have an impact on what they are doing and where they are going as a couple. This can be very entertaining for readers, but perhaps damaging to the stars’ career. Managing these situations from a public relations point of view is crucial to the stars maintaining a positive image.

There are stars, however, which use this spotlight to increase their status. The old adage, “there’s no such thing as bad press” is taken advantage of on a weekly basis. Publicity stunts are more common, as is outrageous behavior. Due to the broad spotlight that celebrity magazines cast, it has become difficult to determine whether or not a star’s behavior is genuine, or fabricated to get attention. Perhaps an artist wants attention that their roles or their records are not getting them; they can do something outrageous and get the coverage. Also, celebrities use the magazines to plug and promote the projects they are working on. A downside of this trend is that celebrity magazines pay handily for insider information, and some projects are leaked ahead of schedule. Many stars, actors in particular, feel that their believability in an on-screen role is compromised by the celebrity magazine’s focus on their personal lives. Clearly, the increase in popularity of celebrity magazines has become a force to be reckoned with in the Hollywood community.

Like many things, the impact on Hollywood from celebrity magazines has been both bad and good. For instance, there has been an upward trend in the amount of coverage that has been given to things that celebrities endorse and other organizations that celebrities feel are positive organizations. This coverage can only help those causes. Also, the magazines that talk about celebrities have a tendency to report on everything – and something that they are very good at doing is showing the nation at large that celebrities are just regular people. Because they are always going to be under scrutiny from the magazines, some celebrities try harder to project a positive image. The attention provided by celebrity magazines has engineered a general push in Hollywood for celebrities to stand as examples to the rest of the world. This has helped to provide more role models, as well. All of these things are a result of the celebrity magazines, and their current upward shift in popularity.

When it comes to celebrity magazines, you had better be sure that you are picking the right ones. There are many different magazines that you can choose from, and you will find that the longer you read celebrity magazines, the more apt you are going to be have your favorites when it comes to these magazines and to be able to have magazines that you feel are very important to you when it comes to celebrity news. There are several magazines that you can choose from, and there are several that you should read for in depth coverage of your favorite celebrities and what they are currently up to.

People Magazine

People Magazine has a circulation of 3.75 million and it was named “Magazine of the Year” by Advertising Age in October 2005. This award was for excellence in editorial, circulation and advertising. People offers many celebrity articles, however, they began as a personal interest magazine, and still publish many features on personal interest topics. Along with the stories about celebrities and other things, you will find many different stories about regular people and people who have made the news for many different reasons. People Magazine usually does in depth coverage of personal interest stories and big news stories, and has several famous features. For instance, they do a column each year that talks about who they feel are the sexiest people of that previous year.

Us Weekly

US Weekly is a magazine that is affiliated with People Magazine. US Weekly offers breaking news and information on top celebrity stories and styles. The main focus of the magazine is on celebrities while People centers on personal interest topics. US Weekly has an exclusive deal with MTV’s “The Hills” and has special issues all year long. Some of the topics of these special issues are best bodies and best makeovers. Publisher Jann Wenner insists that US Weekly is “nice to celebrities” and not as gossipy as its competitors.

Star Magazine

Founded in 1974, Star Magazine is mostly tabloid derived, including sections titled “Worst of the Week” which details the worst fashion mistakes of the week and “Knife styles of the Rich and Famous” which cover plastic surgery operations that celebrities have done. Overall, Star Magazine focuses on the latest celebrity news, gossip, photos and exclusives. Star has a “Beauty Club” which gives makeup tips and promotes certain beauty products, and also has weekly quizzes and games.

Ok! Magazine

Ok! Magazine is one of the top magazines when it comes to celebrity gossip. OK! Magazine focuses on exclusive celebrity news, hot photos and videos and fashion trends. OK! Magazine is published in the United States but also circulated in Europe, where it was founded. It is a weekly publication, which helps to retain readers while entertaining them as well. OK! is best known for its top coverage of celebrity weddings and also for exclusive interviews and personal revelations of the hottest celebrities in the entertainment industry. The magazine focuses on positive developments in celebrity’s lives.

Entertainment Weekly

Entertainment Weekly is not tabloid driven like many of its competitors. EW is fashioned toward a more general audience, particularly young people and women. Unlike many of its competitors, Entertainment Weekly focuses on breaking entertainment news about celebrities, TV shows, movies, music and books. EW also contains celebrity interviews, movie and DVD reviews including top selling book, music and DVD titles.

No matter which of the news magazines you are reading on a daily basis, you should be sure to know that each of these magazines provides a slightly different take on the entertainment world. There are many talented actors and musicians who do not receive any mention in these publications. Besides the titles listed above, there are more in-depth and specialized magazines to choose from. Also, although many of these magazines look similar, it is important to remember that some magazines which revolve around celebrity news are more trustworthy than others.

The magazines that are in the top five celebrity magazines all have very wide and extensive histories. They are magazines that pride themselves on providing the readers with as much news a possible when it comes to the various types of gossip that they are interested in. Most of the time, these news magazines provide information on celebrities, wealthy individuals and other people that have, for one reason or another, made it their goal to be in the news and in the public eye. This means, however, that there is a lot of competition amongst the magazines to sell the most copies. Therefore, when you are reading most of the celebrity magazines, you should take things with a grain of salt and make sure that the information you have been given actually checks out in the real world.

I’m looking to sell a set of vintage original color slides/transparency concert photos of a deceased celebrity from the 1970s. The slides are in excellent condition. Does anyone know of any publication, magazines that purchase vintage celebrity photos?

Obama has been on the cover of Us Weekly 3 times, Good Housekeeping, and Ladies Home Journal once each that I know of because my wife takes those magazines. He has also been on the cover of Men’s health. He is also featured prominently on entertainment news shows. I expect him to be on Time and Newsweek, but not Good Housekeeping and Men’s Health. In my lifetime I can’t recall all this hoopla around one man (never saw Bush or Clinton on any of the ladies’ magazines). He is so overexposed that it is becoming sickening. Is he a celebrity or someone about to undertake an extremely serious job? I don’t think he can be both.
For the people who think it is not strange or because he is not white have missed the point of the question. George W. Bush has never been on the cover of the magazines I mentioned. Laura Bush was featured once on the cover of Good Housekeeping. What in the world does this magazine have with this man who is not elected to keep house, but lead the country. This man was on the front cover of magazines that have absolutely nothing to do with politics, and I just wanted to know why he is getting unprecented attention when he should not be a celebrity. If he is a celebrity then he should move to Hollywood and let Joe Biden be president.
