I ordered HELLO on Jan.10,2005 through Amazon for my wife.She has not rec'd an issue since July,2005. Neither the magazine nor Amazon has succeeded in restarting deliveries and compensating her for the missed issues. In view of the $266 subscription rate I find this to be irresponsble.

Fabulous Diverting Guilty Pleasure Fun   December 11, 2005

Hello! Magazine has been my hidden little guilty pleasure for years. It is to People what the New York Times is to USA Today. And the best thing of all: Hello! is kind. There is never a mean spirited article or vicious comment on any of the celebrity scandals or controversies. Never. Everything is upbeat and respectful at all times.

There are photo and text articles on entertainment celebrities, worldwide royalty, and local British celebs we in the States haven't yet heard of. There is always an article on someone's new darling baby, and someone's new darling country home. Vicarious delights, all! The perfect bubble bath read at the end of a grueling week.

The plethora of large color photos is a treasure. And, madre de dios, they aren't ever touched up! Celebrities look...omigod... normal. They have pores, cellulite, and an occasional bad hair day. It's heartening.

Some compare this magazine to OK!, but the new US edition of OK! is about half the size. Don't fall for the hype. Get a subscription to Hello! and you won't be sorry. I donate mine to hospital waiting rooms after I've finished with them, and you should see the delight they give the stressed out readers!


A British Classic   November 26, 2002

Though you can't take it terribly seriously, Hello! Magazine is a juicy read. Photo spreads of your favorite actor's house. The latest on the British Royalty. You get the idea. (There is a classic "Absolutely Fabulous" where Patsy gets profiled for Hello! only to see the article turn into "Patsy Stone: My plastic surgery nightmere"). A good sized magazine with unobtrusive advertising and lots of photos. Fun!

The English version of People. But even saucier and with juicy photos. For all the dish on the royals, english celebs, this is the place to go.
