Hungry for News about Celebrities?

Need to know? This phrase has been heard in secret operations for years and years but what about the public's need to know about celebrities? Don't worry, the celebrity news magazines and newspapers will tell you everything you always wanted to know about your favorite, movie star, model or musician. And, sometimes you might even get TMI overload with some stories.

There is no doubt the public has an insatiable hunger for news and gossip about the stars of TV and film, supermodels, bands and singers, and sports people. Celebrity news magazines are there to feed that hunger with glossy photographs and articles. This sort of magazine is the most popular, especially when there is a high profile wedding or birth to report.

Hello Magazine

Hello is published in the UK, first appearing in 1988. It also has editions in other countries, including Canada, Mexico, Thailand and Russia. It began as a spin off publication of the Spanish magazine, Hola.

It's a celebrity news magazine that mixes together, soccer stars, actors from soap operas, and the High Society world of the British aristocracy and members of the European Royal Family. The stakes are high when it comes to gaining exclusive rights to photographs surrounding a particular wedding or other social event. Its main rival to acquiring those rights is OK! Magazine, another British weekly.

OK! News Mag

This celebrity magazine began in 1993 and it also has versions in other countries. In fact, its availability in 19 different countries, including the USA, India, Spain, Australia, the Middle East, and China makes it the most widely distributed celebrity news magazine in the world.

The magazine has made its name on exclusive interviews by the world's hottest celebrities and its coverage of weddings. The right to wedding photographs is fiercely competitive and OK! Managed to scoop the weddings for Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, David Beckham and Posh Spice, and Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.

Heat Magazine

From England, this British publication also has a version in South Africa. It debuted in 1999 and holds its own against Hello and OK! In addition to the usual celebrity gossip, it has articles on fashion and movie and music reviews and a TV Listings section.

Of course, the focus is on celebrity interviews and it likes to look in depth at participants in reality shows, such as Big Brother, and talent shows, such as Pop Idol. This magazine for celebrity news has been very enterprising and has spread its wings to other formats.

Heatworld.com is an online edition of the magazine and Heat Radio can be accessed through Sky, digital radio and online. There is also an exercise DVD, called Heat: Get that Celebrity Look, a quiz on celebrities DVD game, a Heat Annual book and a set of small books that contain celebrity quotes called Say What.

People Magazine

Americans like their homegrown magazines for celebrity news too. From 1974, People Magazine has entertained and informed with celebrity articles and human interest stories. There is less gossip within these pages than its British counterparts. There is also an online version.

The magazine is famous for its annual special editions, such as The Most Beautiful People, The Best and Worst Dressed, Hollywood's Hottest Bachelors, and The Sexiest Man Alive. The latest Sexiest Man Alive for 2008 is Hugh Jackman.

So, now that you are itching to read some of these celebrity news magazines, just do a search for your favorite actress, high fashion model or recording star to pull up some of these newspapers and mags online. And, when you discover the spice, I'm sure you will keep it quiet, right?
