Women Rule OK!

Advantages: Probably the Best Celebrity Magazine around
Disadvantages: Creates a False Impression of Life

...'Hello' magazine.

OK! magazine came out in the early 1990s as a rival to 'Hello'. I have only bought it about 5 or 6 times. This review is about issue 313 of OK! dated May 2 2002 purchased from our local Tesco store.


HOT STARS

OK! is sold weekly and costs GBP 1.95. A free packet of Milky Bar Munchies was attached to the magazine. There was also a free copy of 'Hot Stars' magazine.

...
.../> OK!

OK! mainly consisted of celebrity features occasionally punctuated by a few adverts.

The layout of the magazine was very similar to its arch rival 'Hello' magazine.

There were 148 pages in OK!.

There were three recipes featured: chicken spring roll with satay sauce, soft shell crab with spicy polenta and ginger-spiced poached pears with warm gingerbread and vanilla ice cream.

GOSSIP CENTRAL

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: pricey

...one, you not only get OK! But inside you get Hot Stars very similar lay out to Heat magazine, included in this is your TV guide and latest video and DVD rentals including book releases. OK! Is a staggering 146 pages long and with the insert inside make it an extra 82 pages long! So considering this mage is nearly 2.00GBP you certainly get value for money. The length on the magazine depends on the amount of celeb gossip during the week before. Inside ...
...sister of gossip Hello! With its fancy layouts and bright colourful ads, nothing less than Harrods I might add! Up to the centre of the magazine is celebrity interviews and snippets of gossip, then from after the insert you have a fashion section, usually top actress or someone who has been in the news a lot as they try to recreate that expensive look from the high street stores, some times with success other times with down right tat. Then you ...

OK the cheaper gossip mag

Advantages: Cheaper than 'HELLO!'
Disadvantages: Not many interviews

...and lets get into the OK! mag and whats inside.....bla......bla......bla........ I have already said the magazine costs £1.85 which is quite a lot but I think is worth the money! (That may be because I like lots of gossip!~Even though most of it isn't true!) OK! is the real mag for the latest celebrity news, well so they say! 'HELLO!' another different gossip mag is basically the same, but more expensive and more interviews. I have noticed OK dosen't ...
...includes gossip photos and interviews as well as an extra TV guide. like most girly mags there are horoscopes in one section and there is also a competition area as well. he whole mag contains just less than 200 pages (Which I find good) The mag will last quite a while, it isn't just a read and bin in a day mag! I also find that it is ideal for a long car trip! Overall, I love this mag and if you are in for a good old gossip then go for it! There ...

Found in waiting rooms

Advantages: Great colour photographs.
Disadvantages: Very little other than photos

...the numerous pictures! OK! Magazine is advertised as the ‘first for celebrity news’, but having read a few copies in the last few weeks, I am really beginning to wonder. This magazine appears to be a cheap copy of ‘Hello’, but without the interviews. The photos are good and generally of a high quality but the written interviews and articles do not hold the attention of the reader. There is often barely only fifty words written ...
...if presuming that the reader finds it hard to read the written English! It is ideal to flick though in a waiting room, as the reader does not have to concentrate on the articles but not worth the £1.85 weekly charge. If it were a picture magazine then, yes the charge could be justified, but not as a gossip and celebratory review magazine. The one good thing going for this magazine is the 62 page, weekly television guide, in a centre pullout section, ...

NOTHING SPECIAL, JUST OK

Advantages: Good value for money and free extra magazine
Disadvantages: Not much to actually read!

Every now and then I tire of my cross-stitching or computing magazines, find I've read the Radio Times from cover to cover, and feel like splashing out a handful of coins on something else for light reading. My usual first option in these cases is "Heat" magazine but one particularly week of frenzied magazine reading found me finishing that weeks issue and needing something else. I wandered up to my local newsagents and purused what was on offer. ...
..."Womans Own", "Bella" etc as I find these too "housewifey" and boring. The thicker monthly periodicals were too expensive so I opted for my first ever issue of "OK!" magazine for £1.95. My money saw me coming away with a large, glossy, medium thickness magazine with 146 pages which included a further free magazine inside so it seemed fairly good value. Now the first problematical point about this magazine is its size! It's rather too large and unwieldy ...

Ok Doh-key

Advantages: Barrel scraping articles
Disadvantages: Good for a laugh

Is there a difference between OK and Hello magazine? If there is then could someone please tell me what it is. Both of them use the same kind of fonts, layout and have the same kind of content, yet both of them co-exist is the same universe. That's a pity as the world would be a better place without them. OK Magazine is frankly nothing more than a good laugh. What it does is give some people the opporutnity to exploit their celebrity and fawn in ...
...interested in them and their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth in my mind. The magazine scrapes the barrel for content on so many occasions. Recently Big Brother has given them ample opportunity to fill some pages. I was dying to read the exclusive with Jade's friend. yes that's right Jade's friend, someone off the street and that isn't famous in any way. In a way it's the same as you or I getting a 4 page spread complete with cheesy ...

Ok is Ok

Advantages: Nice magazine, easy layout
Disadvantages: Not everything is truthfull, pricey

Now, I am not one of those girls who just sticks to one maagazine and buys that one religously every week, however I do have two favourites. These are O.K and Heat. I do buy other t.v magazines aswell , but I love these two because of the fashion and celebrity gossop (although not all of it is true.) What is ok? Ok is a magazine which is mainly aimed at women and is claimed that is is the first for celebrity news. It has made over 695 issues and will soon be celebrating its 700th birthday issue. It is one of the magazines that cover a wide array of stuff such as fashion, celeb interviews, tributes to stars, celebs on they're life at home, who's making it big and where, food, health, 'dear jordan' column, travel, puzzles, news round up, idol gossip, world in action and more. Hopefully you mow get the idea of what sort of magazine it ...

Review of OK Magazine

No it's not OK actually

Advantages: nice pics
Disadvantages: not enough writing

OK is a magazine that sells 25 million copies per year. It is a big, glossy mag that contains hundreds of photos of celebrities. It prides itself on being the ?first for celebrity weddings?, and the most recent issue has Jade Goody?s exclusive wedding pics in it. Again, I?m not the target audience for this sort of mag (being a male) but I happened to see my wife?s copy on the sofa and thought it would be interesting to review. Coming in at a huge 146 pages, the magazine is broken into 4 areas: NEWS: The value of the so called ?news? in this mag is questionable, but if you are turned on by the idea of seeing photos of Katie and Peter out jogging, then this is the mag for you. Basically, any celeb spottings are found in this section, with hardly any writing. There is no focus on ?real? news, in the traditional sense, so don?t make ...
