Summary: US Weekly Magazine
Comment: US is one of my favorites of the weekly entertainment magazines. You can't believe everything you read, but I feel confident that they are trying to be truthful in their stories. You do see some of the same pictures and stories that run in all the weeklies, but this is the one that I choose to read. The frustrating part is that, as a subscriber, I receive the magazine several days after it hits the news stand, making it sometimes feel like old news.

Summary: another overpriced tabloid
Comment: This is one of the many magazines that float around the school library, and it is the most common. Maybe because not too many people read it. All that is in it is pure celebrity gossip. There is really nothing else in here. If you like blurry photos of Lindsay Lohan, Donald Trump, Paris Hilton, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and the like, (blurry so you can't see the zits and the flaws) then you should get this. One article mentioned Britney Spears stomach, how it was coming back. She was wearing a baggy t-shirt. Baggy t-shirts are common among women wanting to hide a gut, not flaunt it. This magazine makes it seem like celebrities lose weight like magic (they don't-not so far as I can tell). If you want to read about the fact that Nichole Richie has acquired yet another Chloe Paddington, the fact that Donald Trump thinks his wife Melania looks hideous now that he has gotten her knocked up, or you would like to see photos of Victoria Beckham looking pissed off, then read this. This magazine is full of lies as well-for instance, one writer claims that young people like Lindsay Lohan can get higher car insurance rates for accidents they were not at fault in. False! You only get higher rates if you are at fault. This magazine is nothing more than an overpriced tabloid. There is nothing of value in here. Half the time the insider is some anonymous friend, and half the time the facts aren't right. Avoid this thing at all costs, unless of course you are a celebrity worshipper. I've got better things to do than worship people who have too much money for their own good. I'll stick to more intelligent fare, thankyouverymuch.

Summary: much better now
Comment: US Weekly used to be a cross between People and The National Enquirer - ever since the new editor has stepped in (it seems that they have a new one every year) the magazine has been revamped. It looks more like the classy People and less like a trash tabloid. I'm also a little skeptical about those who complain Amazon.com doesn't deliver their magazines. Not every business is perfect, but I haven't had a problem having my magazines delivered when I've ordered them from Amazon.com.
It just makes me think that all the people that are whining are just taking out their frustrations on life at Amazon.com. Maybe its why we see so many vicious and jealous reviews, if you don't like your life change it. Don't complain about it, that's how most people get where they are today. Anyway, unlike People, US Weekly mainly focuses on celebrities and I think that for its price its far too short. At least People is thick. Anyhow, for the celebrity junkie, US Weekly is a must read. Like another reviewer, I too am tired of reading about Jessica Simpson and Brangelina. I think the celebrity magazines are tired of this as well. I'm starting to see a more diverse focus of celebrities on the magazines.
Its certainly much better than reading In touch and Life & Style Weekly. Although I do like US Weekly, I still think that People is the best. People is more classy, has a great layout, their focus is 50/50 on celebrities and articles on average folks. They have great photos and other interesting reads on their magazine. Even their website is great, US Weekly's website looks like a barbie website. The recent changes have been great but if US Weekly really wants to compete with People then it needs to step up to the plate more. Despite its faults, US Weekly is a luscious read and worth all of its frothiness, so enjoy it.

Summary: US is just a fancy Enquirer
Comment: I have been subscribing to US Weekly for about a year and a half. In that time, I have never seen an issue without several pages of Jessica Simpson. I have to wonder; does Jessica donate money to this magazine? She seems to dominate the whole magazine, each and every week.
I won't be renewing my subscription. I'm tired of Jessica and the untruths that US Weekly supplies.
