    Advantages Advantages Can be used to light fires or clean up, erm, accidents

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Costs money and wastes precious ink and paper

    I think I'm qualified to say that Hello! magazine is perhaps the worlds most intestine severing pile of buttwax ever rolled out of a four colour press anywhere in the world, outperforming even the most tiresome caravaning magazine in terms of vapidity (although it lacks the all-important tent peg reviews); yes, Hello! is appalling. I write so, because of a recurring nightmare of mine. It is in a Britain much like the one we are living in today. But with one fundamental difference. The stupid people have taken over. Yes. The management executives (who, for all their BMW's and Armani suits ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent TV Guide

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The rest of the magazine

    Sometimes we need something to do to amuse ourselves... no not that, get your mind out of the gutter. We write, we paint, we play a sport and we read. The list could probably go on forever. For any one thing you could think to do someone else has probably had the same thought. Yes and that does include lewd thoughts about your wife,husband, boyfriend or girlfriend. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I am doing this opinion on the weekly magazine HELLO. In particular I am going to pick on Number 697 that was published on January 22 2002. On the front cover is a happy Patsy Palmer with her ... more

    Advantages Advantages Features Royalty, Good pictures, Positive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages price

    I hadn’t bought Hello! magazine for years. I think the main reason is because I always considered it to be too expensive - at £2 a copy, I think that it is far too expensive for a weekly magazine. However, the other day I decided to treat myself to a different magazine (I always buy the same ones and so fancied something else) and so chose Hello as featured the Middleton’s on their family holiday and I wanted to be nosy. I am fascinated with the Royals as I just love having a nosy and seeing how they live their lives and what they have been up to and so I thoroughly enjoyed this part of the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Keep up to date in all things glossy and shiny!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No real news. Just pretty pictures!

    As I have stated in my other reviews, I am a bit of a nosy parker and I love looking at what is going on in other peoples lives. Why? No other reason then because I love people watching. Looking at what others are doing, how others live their life. Everyone is different. This also includes celebrities. I am not a huge fan of the news, but, celebrity news... now that is what I am interested in. You can call me shallow, sad, whatever…. But I can not help it and I am not ashamed to say I actually reading about Victoria Beckham and her day out shopping for specially made blue metallic Bonsai trees ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good to get your bonfire going

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything about it

    Are our lives really so empty that we feel we have to fill the void by reading about "celebrities'" lifestyles? Today I have been unfortunate enough to have been given a copy of Hello! magazine (there is no way on this earth I would buy it). Still - there is one good thing to come from it - an opportunity to write an opinion for Ciao. Hello! magazine is a glossy mag full of pictures of celebrities arriving at parties, celebrities at award ceremonies, celebrities relaxing in their 10 acre mansions; oh, yes, and let us not forget the frequent articles on the Royal Family and anyone even remotely ... more
