Celebrity magazines

    I buy three magazines a week, mainly heat, more and Reveal but I am trying to cut down, they show more or less the same in each magazine but for me they all have their different qualities, does anyone else read these magazines?

    I buy Now everyweek (waste of money but its a habit now) - i think Reveal, New, Now, Star etc all have some news in them

    i've given up buying them unless its something that really catches my eye. Total waste of money especially as with most of those celeb mags u have them read in 5 minutes. Used to buy lots but i don't miss them to be honest their full of crap anyway.

    I'm the same. They're like junk food for your brain. They're good for waiting rooms or hairdressers when you just want to mindlessly flick through something

    I don't buy any. I'd read them if I were in a doctor's or dentist's waiting room. I do often see the front covers of them and get very confused. Such as "Kerry Katona on her ?? (can't remember) Stone Weight Loss!" Didn't she get it all sucked out? And wasn't it on MTV? I thought I saw an ad for that somewhere. :confused:

    Its so funny the way women say they despise these magazines and say they were full of rubbish but admit they regularly buy them.

    Buying Celebrity mags are a bit like buying a pack of smokes -
    they are bad for you (thinking you should have a post baby body like Posh) , have absolutely nothing positive to contribute, cost an fortune and are highly addictive.

    I write this but love to have a soak in the tub reading "now" magazine... off the smokes..

    i usually buy Closer and More. I used to buy Heat but after they slagged off Jordan's kid i stopped(hate Jordan but i thought that was downright disgusting of them to do!)I love Company too,but not sure that counts as a celeb magazine!It's my vice,i don't smoke and drink very little!but seeing as i studied print journalism i get some stick from family and friends!apparently i should know better:o

    Im always buying more!
    Since they changed it to the weekly one its as if they dont have enough to fill it anymore! They should change back and at least we had a nice big juicy mag to look forward to every few weeks. :P

    I buy Reveal and Now every week!!
    I dont really like the new style of Reveal, how is Vanessa Feltz qualified to give advice, and why would i take beauty advice from Martine McCuetcheon (SP**). But i do like the Horoscope section.

    I have always bought now, i just really like it. Yes both magazines have the same sort of articles, but it the other sections i like...fashion, health, beauty.

    I also like LOOK magazine, great fashion tips and advice.

    Waste of money i know, but i could never give up my weekly mags!!!
