 great magazine, crappy delivery December 7, 2004

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE US magazine in all its cheesy glory. Normally it is the highlight to my Friday afternoon- I look forward to ending my work week with some easy reading. So, it really pisses me off when my subscription doesn't arrive until the following Teusday- esp since it hits the racks on Wednesday. I have complained to the magazine and didn't get much help. As much as I love US, I am having second thoughts about renewing my subscription because of the bad sewrvice i recieve.
Addicting November 30, 2004

One word that sums this magazine up is addicting! I can't pass a magazine stand with out picking one up. With the latest spill on celebrity love lives, style, movies, red carpet events, and most embarrassing moments, who could resist?
To me it's more of a photo book then real journalism. Half the journalism that is in US Weekly is exaggerated to all means. With so much being fabricated, it is important to keep an open mind.
US Weekly Magazine gives people like you and I a chance to see celebrities live the normal lives we do. It's weird to see some of these A-list stars cleaning, shopping, and doing normal day to day routines of an average person. Of course this is only when they are not working.
My favorite part of the magazine is the loose talk section. In the November 22nd issue, it features Nicole Richie and her tip on how she eats healthy while taping The Simple Life.
Every week I look forward to receiving my new issue. When I do, it's sometimes the highlight of my day. No other magazine can compare to US Weekly. With its edge and wit it keeps us readers wanting the next issue.

 The Best in This Class October 14, 2004
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a college educated, professional woman and I still love this magazine. In fact it was my guilty pleasure while I was attending college and didn't have time to sit down a read a good novel. US Weekly has some of the best photographs of stars compared to the other mags on the newsstand (ranking only second to In Touch at times). US Weekly does have the best content. They have more content than In Touch and less of the stuff that I don't care about like People magazine publishes. US Weekly is a steal at the subscription price. So, why don't you check one out at the newsstand and subscribe if you like it as much as I do?
 Entertaining, but.......... October 7, 2004
US Weekly is a mix of a tabloid and a fashion magazine, though it is a bit better at telling the truth than some other magazines *ahem*. It's one of those magazines that will come into great use when you're bored and want something interesting yet light to read, and if you're celebrity obsessed, you'll definitely LOVE this one. My main problem with it is that everytime I pick up an issue, I feel like I'm stalking these celebs. In their August 30 issue, they had a two-page spread showing Jessica Simpson shopping at a grocery store, loading them into her car, and even pulling her dress back up. I don't know about you, but I felt as though that was completely unnescesary. The magazine is big on these things, like showing Britney Spears eating lunch and Paris and Nikki Hilton walking on the beach. It gets very annoying sometimes. However, some of the stuff they talk about is interesting, and I enjoy the fashion and beauty sections. But if you're one of those who can't live without the latest celebrity gossip and news, this would be a great magazine for you.
Nobody claimes this is rocket science... September 9, 2004

... but it sure is fun to read. US magazine is by far the best of its genre; I consider PEOPLE, STAR, and IN TOUCH vastly inferior. US is unique; my favorite section, one that another Amazon reviewer happened to mention they hated, is called "Stars: They're Just Like US". Yes, we know that the rich and famous eat, drink, shop and get toilet paper stuck on their shoes-- like the average person. But how much more fun is it to see Cameron Diaz with food in her teeth, Jessica Simpson lunching with a girlfriend, or Keaneau Reeves using a payphone (and, gasp!, not a cell).
US was the orginal magazine to bring us the stars in a new light -- now, IN TOUCH and STAR are rushing to do the same. But the first is always the best -- US weekly makes reading their magazine a guilty pleasure!
