Magazines : Us Weekly (1-year)In association with Amazon.comRating:  - Shallow and cheesy, just like hollywood. My wife loves this magazine. Its chocked full of candid celebrity shots, and stars doing regular everyday things. Stars complain about the paparazzi, but really, they have no right to whine. After all, they get paid millions to show off their faces, they have given up their right to privacy. US magazine's theme is that stars are just like "US". They go to eat, lay out on the beach, and get their hair done. Thats what the magzine is about. Some call it shallow, but Hollywood IS shallow. You are only as good as your last film, and the sets are just sets. If you like glitzy, fake celeb interviews, read something else. If you want to look at stars doing everyday things, and people picking on their fashion faux pas... ths is the magazine for you. A bit pricey for what it is, but hey, we have to support the paparazzi. Rating: - Guilty PleasureWhile making a purchase at Best Buy, the cashier informed me that Us Weekly was offering a free six-week trial subscription. She was pretty persuasive, so I took the bait. Who turns down freebies? Turns out I really like the magazine. No lengthy, poignant passages. Just a lot of pictures with captions and a couple of paragraphs of juicy gossip. Very easy reading. Star-gazing is frivolous and fun. Don't get me wrong, I write for a living and love reading a variety of genres, including paranormal, erotica, chick lit, and urban fiction. But, sometimes the brain needs some down time. Rating:  - The System is Too SlowIt is rediculous that an order placed on-line should take 4-6 weeks to be delivered. Rating:  - Great magazine, full of interesting facts about your favorite hollywood stars and personalities!I love this magazine the articles are excellently written and gives all you would want to know about your favorite Hollywood stars and the things that go on behind the scenes in their lives. Rating: - Junk Food for the Brain!US Weekly is the best "escape" from work and chaotic everyday life! I love it! Unlike the "Enquirer", this magazine shows some respect for the stars that it covers, which I admire. |
