US Weekly Magazine  — 

Know what you are getting... US Weekly gives you a broad array of pure celebrity dish and trash. That's right. If you want your fill of celebrity gossip, who looks better in what dress, fashion trends, etc then US Weekly is perfect for you.

On my recent stay in the hospital I had every trash magazine known to man. This got me very familiar with US Weekly and also allowed me to compare it to other like magazines.

I have to admit, that I am slightly more partial to People. US Weekly has more pictures, more dish and probably more trash. But it lacks ANY lengthy editorial. They also generally have the same type of content as all other celebrity magazines. (meaning they dont get the story first!)

If you are seeking a pure celebrity gossip read and no substance, go out and buy US Weekly today. If you want gossip with some in-depth articles (albeit not great ones), then go get yourself a People magazine. They both deliver on the gossip front-- just with a different spin.

Sometimes ya just gotta read the tabloids! They're hilarious! People is my favorite.

Well put. I don't know how, but this mag finds its way into my house on occasion. It can be entertaining but it's shallow. People is much better.
