    Advantages Advantages Great gossip

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Jade Goody

    Well i started with a subscription. not a clue why though!!! At first I thought it was for Posh Spice wanabees, but i grew to beleive different. granted she is in almost every issue and its weekly, but it really does take the michael out of her and other stuck up celebs like paris hilton, while praising the better celebs. It actually offers more gossip than i thought!!! Although there is one page i have to skip past and that is jade Goddy's. She always writes a little bit bout her, and slates men while praising women, which i find bias. The fashion tips can be a bit outrageous, like cheap ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't keep you entertained for too long!

    I don't know why, but everytime I find myself waiting at my local underground station for a tube into the City, I always buy a copy of the NOW magazine from the stand nearby....I think, 'shall I get a newspaper and get up-to-date with current affairs and whats happening in the world, or shall I buy something that will keep me entertained?'....well...after thinking for about 30 seconds, I always settle for the NOW magazine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the NOW Magazine? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well its a magazine full of celebrity gossip, beauty tips, real life stories, sex problems ... more

    4 Stars My favourite mag 10/06/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quite a lot of interviews

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The price has gone up!

    I read a lot of celebrity magazines, (I'm addicted to them!), but Now is my favourite because it has quite a lot of interviews in it. The interviews are my favourite bit and some other magazines don't have as many. I also like the features on who's going out or breaking up with who and it sometimes tells you exclusive news before anyone else. The price is cheaper than some teen magazines, too, although it used to be only 95p. I also like the Week In View section which has pictures of celebrities at various events and on holiday. A new section is Good Week For, Bad Week For, which reports stuff ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap amusement

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I like reading this magazine as it has a bit of a mixture of features in. I like the fashion features, especially the ones where they show you how to get the celebrities look at cheaper prices. It is a bit of a gossipy magazine but it doesn't seem very offensive and is often sympathetic towards the stars. They offer good health and beauty tips and I fing the product reviews useful as well. At 95p it's value for money, a quick read a reasonable price - just the sort of thing you need when you want to chill out and not use your grey matter too much. ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good pictures and gossip

    Disadvantages Disadvantages maybe a little pricey?

    My main reason for purchasing now magazine (14/02/01) was the huge picture of robbie williams on the front(i'm sure most girlies will agree!!) and the article about popstars. Priced at 95p i found it good value for money, lots of gossip, well your never sure if its real or not! Loads of snapshots of celebrities some of which i haven't seen repeated in other magazines. What i really did like about it was the fact that is was not full of adverts which gave lots of editorial content. The journolisim was excellent and so was the photography. Suitable for all types,male or female, beauty tips and ... more

    4 Stars It may be gossip, but 11/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Informative, cheap, not bias,...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many pages

    Okay, so it's just another magazine filled with celebrity gossip - right? Maybe, but it's not the sort of gossip thats going to do any harm. It's all very low key and never intrusive. Thats what so great about it. It's more of a 'whats happening' magazine that keeps you in touch with whats going on where and to who. Unlike other magazines, it isn't judgemental, rude or bitchy and lets you make up your own mind about things. So if you want a bit of light gossip - who doesn't(?)- but hate it when magazines give you there opinions, Now is for you. It's unlikely to offend you and allows you to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Doesn't phone you in the middle of the night

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You can't phone it in the middle of the night

    Sometimes after a hard days work there is nothing better than to sit down with a glass of wine, the biggest box of chocolates you can find and have a good old gossip. If however all your mates are unavaliable do the same but with NOW magazine. The stories are much more interesting anyway. Who cares what Nosey nora is up to when you can catch up on the latest pictures of Mel Gibson sunbathing with not much on or check out the latest showbiz parties and premieres, who was there, who was wearing what etc etc. So ditch your boring mates and buy NOW magazine ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Doesnt tax the brain

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It doesnt come out once a day

    If you like a light hearted magazine, NOW is for you. Primarily based on gossip of the stars and the ever changing who's going out with who type articles, this magazine is perfect as an easy read which doesnt tax the brain too much. The style of writing is fairly good and there are beauty pages as well as recipes which are affordable and appetising. Very cheap and printed once a week its fairly good value for money. The famous people are usually actors and actresses (no upper class types are featured like high brow) and again unlike Hello and OK there is actually something to read rather than ... more
