Hello

...Peace behind the cover of Hello magazine. There will be secret basements with biochemists trying to avoid the omniscient and penetrating gaze of Big Beckham. The concentration camps will be filled with philosophers and physicists. Academic journals will become one-man illict samizdat jobs, published on secret presses and distributed by masked men in back rooms of pubs. Libraries will take off and leave for the shores of the smart. Okay, I'm being ...
...the places that you see Hello most often are the places that take an hour and charge you fifty quid. I mean, bugger that. The fact that you have to sit there and, usually, peruse Hello! while you wait just puts me off. I mean, I take books to hairdressers / barbers now if I have to wait. I'd much rather be found hiding behind Orwell or Nietzsche than flipping through this rag. I mean, for crying out loud, the fact that I can search BBC News Online ...

Review of Hello

...their wedding and reception to Hello magazine. The only thing I can hope is that these two 21 year olds did it for their fans (yeah right). I guess it just goes to show you can never have too much money. It is nice to know that when we buy any singer or groups songs, we are donating it to allowing them to lead such a nice life. Did I hear someone say I am jealous? Bloody right! · Two pages of "Diary of the Week" are followed by 4 pages of Coronation ...
...in the second half of Hello magazine. · We restart with 4 pages of "This Week" which is just a round up of news reports. · Then god somebody hand me the sick bag, five pages of Gloria Hunniford and her husband having a break in Dublin. Oh, how the other half live, yet again. You see them in their expensive clothes lounging in their expensive home and wonder what it was she had to offer that made all the difference? Personally I can't see why she ...

Review of Hello

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 ...
...actually reading about Victoria Beckham and her day out shopping for specially made blue metallic Bonsai trees (or something along those lines….!) One way of me to get my weekly gossip is through the glossy HELLO! Magazine. It is a weekly roundup of all things rich and famous. Now I will admit, I do not actually BUY the magazine. (Neither do I steal the magazine!) I work in a reception that gets it delivered every week. So before we put it out ...

Review of Hello

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, ...
...let us not forget the frequent articles on the Royal Family and anyone even remotely connected with the Royals. In this article I have here in front of me; dated March 6 2001; there are features on all of the above. What I cannot believe is that there is a 20-page (yes 20 pages!!!) feature on Celine Dion and her "miracle" new baby. Celine and her husband, Rene have been trying for a baby for 6 years, and after some fertility treatment, Celine finally ...

Review of Hello

...in. In the world of Hello there is no rail crisis, no problems in the NHS. World hunger and deprivation exists as a photo opportunity – how good that God makes most of its natural disasters strike where the sun shines. This leads me to the crux of my problem with Hello. The magazine treats its celebrities and particularly royalty as Gods. In doing so it appears Godless and without compassion unless that compassion is recognised and revered ...
...the concept of royalty and Hello by the way it sycophantically depicts the Royal family only reinforces my view that they are a waste of money. Hello presents a soft-glow rosy view of celebrity. A place to show how happy your relationship is, somewhere to quash rumours of health problems after a starlet slips to a size 6, a platform to show off the latest off-spring . For me there is no gap in my life which I feel needs to be filled by the contents ...

Review of Hello

...her death. One thing that Hello can receive praise for, however, is the separate supplement. If there is a significant event, then you can bet that Hello! Magazine will print a ‘life in pictures’ supplement. Page 55 brings us an advert for Vodafone, and for their Valentine’s service. And once that is read a brief article on Liz Hurley covers those glossy pages. This is where the ‘7 Days’ supplement is attached to the ...
...Subscription… Subscription to Hello costs about £50 for six months or £90 for a year if you live in the UK, and prices reach up to £180 for the rest of the world if you do not live in Europe and your copy of Hello! has to be sent by Air Mail. Website… Hello! Magazine’s website address is www.hellomagazine.com. To Summarise… Hello! Magazine is a favourite with many but not a favourite with me. There seems to be too much ...

Review of Hello

I love this magazine. Its so amazingly tacky! It is a cheaper version of OK, and it shows, although I must say that the photos are of a similar quality even if the text isn’t. Often full of errors, or missing useful facts which the reporter obviously forgot to ask in their excitement (like the subject’s age!) it’s still a blissfully mindless read, ideal after a hard day at the office. Although they do manage to capture a lot of celebrities, there’s ...
...featured just because they happen to have a fantastic house or garden, or are just damn stinking rich. All the women are described as ‘beautiful’ or ‘gorgeous’, all the men ‘handsome’ or ‘dashing’ (when in fact most are just plain average!), pregnant women are ‘blooming’, brides are ‘blushing’; everybody should read it occasionally, even if its only to look at the pictures. Great! ...

Review of Hello

...magazines as a teenager then Hello magazine is just that but for adults. It is ritzy, glitzy, full of minor royalty, showbiz types and the good old jet set. With the large photo format and the editorial tucked away at the bottom of the page the layout is very reminiscent of children's comics and, like a comic, it requires no intellectual input to "read". The people featured and the type of life they lead is a zillion miles away from my life and for ...

Review of Hello

I do not personaly buy 'Hello'magazine, as I think it is basicly trash, but you can never fail to see a copy in the doctors' waiting room, or left on the train, and when I am SO bored that i bring myself to read it I am disgusted at the content. The people who write this stuff have no respect for other peoples' privacy and treat celebrities like they are just objects that are theirs to criticise or insult: when was the last time one of these people ...
...I happen to know a couple of people who have been submited to this kind of abuse (who will remain nameless) and I can confirm that none of the terrible rumors written about them are true. In my opinion, the kind of people who buy this magazine are giving mankind a bad name. ...

Review of Hello

If you love to keep up to date with your fav. celebs and their glamerous lives then you will surely like 'Hello' magazine. I first read this magazine when someone had left it on the train. OK, some of the articles probably do pry a bit into the lives of some celebs and some of the articles may be slightly over eggaderated but most of them do have some quite good articles e.g on posh and becks. I think that this mag. is good if you are a bit nosy ...

Review of Hello

...glossy photos to compensate. Hello focusses heavily on UK celebs, and the aristocracy. Many times they do a feature on aristos the rest of us have never heard of. They are famous for their "weddings" issues which are always suitably over the top. Hello has a broad cross section of celebrities in its issues, and doesn't get hung up on the awful Beckhams as OK does. The mag is suitable for all - you won't find anything offensive! There are also puzzles, ...

Review of Hello

A couple of months ago i purchased this magazine and was amazed at the amount of lies that was in one particular artical, regarding Celine Dions pregnancy. For starters they got her age completely wrong! and then contradicted themselves by putting a wrong date of birth! which didnt add up!! Then they gave quotations from "family friends" which were completely untrue! It was a disgrace because it was a personal situation, and the fact that she was ...

Review of Hello

Has anyone read this magazine then if so, May I ask Why? Ok it had it’s time where it was as big as O.K1 and HEAT1 but now it has three pages and no-one wastes their time reading this crap magazine anymore. What does it Have I ask myself? Does it have Celebrity gossip? ANSWER – rarely anything interesting. Does it have great celebrity Columns? ANSWER – Don’t bet your life on it darling. It is out dated and not worth spending ...
...from me don’t buy it because if you do you will go into a time warp to 1995 as it’s ‘old fashioned’ cover and articles are boring and out-dated. I wouldn’t be surprised if the STUPID writers would interview The Nolan Sisters, daughters, son’s, cousins, nephews dog for more publicity. So Please don’t depress me every time I walk into my Corner shop by seeing it on the shelf it makes the Queen look like Ozzy ...

Review of Hello

Why do people settle for second best with OK! Magazine when they can read the original and in my opinion superior Hello! Hello! is packed full of glossy celebrity photos and the writing always has a positive angle. The stories tend to be based on fact and the articles are unusual as they tend to be on the celebity's side while other magazines try to dish the dirt. It's nice just to cuddle up on a sofa and be transported into another world of the ...
